Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 315 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the fast and reliable delivery service, noting that orders arrive quickly and are well-packed, often in perfect condition. Many appreciate the straightforward ordering process and the excellent customer service, highlighting the helpful and kind staff who are readily available to assist with queries. The products are consistently described as top-notch, with a fantastic range of choices available at good prices, making bulk buying easy and affordable. However, some customers also noted issues with slower than expected delivery, receiving notifications only on the day of delivery, or experiencing confusion with tracking information. A few other people also felt that the ordering system could be improved, particularly regarding choices between delivery and click and collect, and some received products with short best-before dates.

Too much cardboard with delivery

The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I ordered 82 bottles of flavoured water & they all came in big cardboard boxes which we had to cut up in small pieces in order to get them in the recycling bin. They could have easily been delivered on one of those trolleys it would have been a lot easier & saved all that cardboard too. Love the water though

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re really glad to hear you love the water!

In regards to the packaging, we completely understand your point about the cardboard and the extra work it created for recycling. Gosh, we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. At the moment, we’re not able to dispatch stock using a third-party trolley system without it being fully wrapped and protected, which is why orders are boxed for safe delivery.

That said, we are always looking for ways to improve sustainability and reduce waste. We’ve recently taken steps towards more eco-friendly operations, and we will continue exploring greener and more streamlined delivery solutions wherever possible.

Thanks again for the helpful suggestion, we’re committed to improving and always grateful for ideas that help us do better.
