This is the best place to buy ice drinks from value for money and super quick delivery. I've used them three times now and from twice I've gotten them within 48 hours. Third time over Easter which too... See more

Disappointed with my experience

First time delivery .Took a week to come and no text or email to let me know when it would be arriving
Driver left Tunnocks tea cakes and Twix on my doorstep in 22 degree heat at 10.30 in the morning
Won't be using again I'm afraid

Hi Fiona
Not a great effort on our part there & my apologies for that. I can see your order was placed Thursday evening & delivered in one of our own trucks the following Tuesday. We normally quote 2 working days for delivery so this was a day later than we'd hope for.
More disappointing was our own driver leaving your delivery on your doorstep. My colleague has arranged a meeting with our driver tomorrow to share your feedback. In the meantime if there was any heat damage to any of the items in your order please share the detail with customerservices@glencrest.co.uk & they will resolve that for you.
Best Regards
Ross

Hi Ellen
Hopefully you received your sunglasses today & all's ok.
I know my colleague has updated you on what went wrong. I can only add my apology to his for messing up your original delivery. Thank you for your patience while we resolved our mistake & hope you enjoy your new sunglasses.
Best Regards

Yey, new shop for me unlocked!

I was worried about using a new site , especially after reading some reviews but I am so happy! The delivery was so quick , with no issues whatsoever , and at a great price ( I like a certain energy drink that is a nightmare to get in shops)

Not very happy unfortunately

Not very happy unfortunately

As my son has an eating disorder, the order of Capri Sun is one of his safe foods/drinks and the bulk amount saves money.

The whole package had been damaged. I was advised to send an email to sales with pictures but had no response.

Hi Darren

Firstly I'm sorry to hear you felt your experience with us was only 2 Star. Clearly that's not where we aim to be.

I'm trying to investigate your experience as described in your review & have emailed you personally to understand the issue & find a solution but you haven't replied. Furthermore I've searched all of our email in boxes & can't find any correspondence from you.

If you can reply to my personal email, forward the photographs, I can guarantee I'll thoroughly investigate & find a solution. In my experience there aren't many problems that can't be resolved with proper 2 way communication.

Amazing company!

Hi there I wanted to give some feedback on the delivery driver and service I received. I put in the order on Saturday and even with a bank holiday yesterday was delivered today with no hassle and the delivery driver was the kindest most sweetest driver I have ever had the privilege to meet. Thank you for the amazing service. I will definitely be back again !!!!!

They don't get back to your email when something is wrong, but they do get back to you within 1 hour if your asking for something to buy. Maybe get back to your customers regardless of the question...

Hi Stefan thanks for your feedback & apologies that something appears to have gone wrong with delivery of your order which I can see was placed & shipped over a year ago, 15th December 2021.

I've started an investigation into this with our delivery partner UPS & our own team here, to try establish exactly what has happened.

From my initial quick checks we can't seem to find any correspondence from you or from UPS to alert us to anything untoward. Any additional information you could provide to customerservices@glencrest.co.uk would help our investigation. Hopefully we will get to the bottom of it & resolve as quickly as possible.

TRULY FIVE STAR COMPANY

Took a chance with this company because they had a scarcely available product in good quantities at an excellent price. Am delighted i did. Delivery was in less than 48 hours to England. Price even with delivery was better than elsewhere. Customer service replied immediately to my pre delivery query. First class. Merry Christmas.

UPDATE- Just took delivery of 3rd order, flawless service, discounts on delivery for large orders, excellent logistics, perfect products. Fully recommended.

2nd UPDATE: took delivery of my fourth order today, received within 24 hours of ordering to England. Perfect logistics, packaging, products and price. A brilliant company.

Hi Stephen apologies for the issue you had with your order. We've tried to contact you using the email address you provided with the order but it has been returned undeliverable.
I can see your total order including shipping was in fact £42.14 so not sure if you were seeing something different....you mentioned over £45?
In the meantime we have a few solutions/suggestions to help if you still want to purchase Irn Bru Glass Bottles from us & if you contact customer services by email or telephone they'll be able to run through these with you.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've checked on our system but can't find any trace of any order in the name you used for this review, nor can I find any trace of any correspondence from you?

We have been in business for 23 years with many thousands of customers & several million successful orders so I'm surprised to hear your comments.

If something has gone wrong, we'll certainly put it right so perhaps you could email customerservices@glencrest.co.uk with your full name & order number & one of my colleagues will get in touch & I can guarantee any issue will be resolved.

Excellent delivered a large order next day and all in perfect condition.
The price was competitive and I also received a free delivery code which saved me over £20!
Would highly recommend.

FORCES me to sign up to get to billing and shipping info, LETS ME choose Greece as my country, THEN proceeds to tell me they don't ship to Greece. What an absolute a-hole move. Just remove my country of residence from the drip-down menu then!! And DELETE my info as you have ZERO business use for it (by GDPR laws).

Hi Mr or Mrs Haze & thank you for your feedback & colourful language.
I notice from your profile that you only do 1 Star reviews so presumably not many of us out there are able to meet your expectations.

Anyway, that aside, apologies that we no longer ship to Greece but it's as a result of the difficulties in clearing goods through your customs in Greece post Brexit.

Prior to you inputting your shipping details we don't know where you're shipping address is, so there is no alternative but to complete that information before our system is able to establish whether or not it's a country we ship to.

We do not store info for any visitors to our site who haven't completed an order but for peace of mind you can email customerservices@glencrest.co.uk confirming the details you used on our site & they will verify that no information is held.
