Perfect service, fast delivery and great packaging. I've purchased quite a bit from shop coffee now, they're absolutely spot on, great supplier. When you're buying home barista gear, it's not cheap,... See more

They don't take Credit Cards

They don't take credit cards if you don't live in the UK. Never heard of such a thing in this day and age but that's their choice. That means you'd have to go through some tedious bank transfer process and I just found it easier to shop elsewhere. Plus if you live in the EU you have to deal with VAT and import taxes. That's not their fault but don't forget to calculate that into your costs. I'm sure if you live in the UK and they take your CC that they're fine company to do business with.

Hi Michael,

I don't think it's fair to leave us a negative review due to us not accepting credit cards for non-UK transactions. We're an independent company with our own policies set to protect our customers and ourselves from fraud. Our policies are clear and if you don't agree with them you have a choice whether or not to shop with us.

Also VAT and Import taxes are subject to the country you are importing to, we do not charge you VAT which reduces the cost for you so you pay it directly to your local tax collect. We don't keep any taxes for ourselves.

Nevertheless, we are are always trying to improve and will hopefully implement a better system in future.

Thank you for your review.

UPDATE/EDIT:

Thank you for updating your review Michael, your feedback is appreciated and I hope we will be able to offer a smoother service for international customers in the future.

Coffee selection is great

Coffee selection is great. The only reason for not giving 5* is handling of the local deliveries in Cambridge. There is no status tracking available and, if I am not at home when the attemted delivery is mad, the packet will be taken back to the shop and I will have to go to collect it. I would have thought that 250g coud be pusshed through the letter box...

Worst service I've ever dealt with!

Stay clear unless you want to be disappointed.

I paid for premium next-day delivery for an item I needed asap - when it didn't turn up, I was simply told it was because it was out of stock and would need to wait a further 10 days! Why was I able to place the order in the first place?

I requested to cancel the order, but I had to jump through hoops of multiple emails being down
-right ignored over the course of 2-3 weeks.

I attempted phoning on a few occasions with no luck at first, but then someone finally answered and processed the refund via PayPal and left me with the transfer fee to pay! Absolute disgusting "service".

Apologies that you had a bad experience with an out of stock item, I can't see any order reference or details on this review, so please take a moment to contact us on 01223 904908 and ask for the manager and I'll be happy to look into this and reimburse you.

Delivery packaging too big

The small brush was sent in a large box, whereas it could have been put in one that would fit through the letterbox. Hence delivery delayed 5 days whilst Royal Mail took its time sorting itself out and redirecting to a post office.

Eco friendly

Stocking spares for my Baratza coffee grinder marks you out as the place I will go to first for any coffee-related kit. Disposable equipment is not acceptable any more. Eco-friendliness starts with long term ownership and refurbishing our stuff.

The additional shipping quote wasn't automatically processed meaning a long wait, then chasing, then further wait.

Thank you for your review.

We try to make things as clear as possible. This is why the "request a shipping quotation" was the only method of shipping available to be selected for non-UK mainland orders like yours - and it was selected during your checkout process, this is to indicate a shipping quotation is to follow, this is extremely clear on our website, and we continuously make changes to ensure customers are provided with the correct information in all the relevant places.

It is also visible on our delivery page which is accessible from any page and also mentioned again on the checkout page, just in case it was missed elsewhere.

Please see here for our delivery information here:
https://www.shopcoffee.co.uk/delivery#tab_international-delivery:~:text=If%20you%20would%20like%20a%20quotation%20for%20delivery%2C%20please%20put%20your%20order%20through%20online%20and%20select%20%E2%80%9Crequest%20a%20shipping%20quotation%E2%80%9D%20so%20we%20can%20manually%20quote%20the%20delivery%20for%20your%20order.

Nevertheless, I'm sorry for any confusion and we would really like some feedback to ensure our customers are not mislead, and to avoid any misunderstandings, please provide feedback on what you think can be improved by emailing us on shop@shopcoffee.co.uk or updating your review.

We are continuously finding ways to improve and streamline our checkout process for customers outside the UK Mainland. So your feedback/suggestions would be very useful.

I really hope you'll give us a chance in future, I'm happy to offer Free Delivery on your next order (<10kg), just give us a call and we'll authorise this. Please mention this review response to our staff as proof of this goodwill gesture.

Thank you.

Very personal and responsive service

Shop Coffee updated me immediately about a back order item - much appreciated - meaning I could reconfigure my order, ensuring it was sent that day. Very personal and responsive service plus a great selection of all things coffee, tea and chocolate. Many thanks.
