Parcel was delivered fine but all four tins were mainly broken biscuits.
I could hear that they were rattling so kuch so really I'd like a refund or another set.

Reply from Melbury&Appleton
Hello, we advise on our website these biscuits "are packed loose in the tin" so we would expect them to rattle! Hopefully you haven't shaken the tins too much.
Your parcel was delivered over week before you wrote this review - it's a pity you didn't get in touch directly with us with any concerns you had. Please email us if needed.
Good prices and delivery in reasonable time
I have found fine items at a good price and their delivery has effectively been carried out in a reasonable time. It has not been a fantastic service but has definitely been a good service

Nothing much to say. I ordered something; Melbury and Appleton shipped the correct product to me very quickly. The product was breakable, but was well packaged and the quality is superb. Have used M&A for a number of years now and have never had a moments bother.
