Surplus to Purpose CIC Reviews 165

I ordered a large fruit and veg box. I had to throw half of the contents away, 3 lettuces brown all the way through, plum so soft inedible and potatoes really soft. I was really upset I had seen pictures online and the contents looked good quality but if i had known how it was I would never have purchased.

Since they setup in st vincents i enjoy taking a look at what is on offer and buy something knowing it won't go to landfill

This store has been a true lifesaver, offering exceptional value and quality every time I shop there. In a time where prices are soaring and waste is prevalent, this place stands out as a remarkable choice.

Superb company - excellent ethos and very efficiently run

Been going surplus to purpose for months. This time as I arrived barriers had blown down into road. I decided to step over them to get to the door. A man come out and told me walk right round . I said who are you the police? He said I own the place. I went to walk the long way round into door. He told me you can go in but they won't serve you cause I told them not to. I said why? He said cause you were rude to me.
I was leaving and he told me the security are waiting for you. I said why what they going to do? He said they won't let you out!
Security laughed at the story when I told them and I told them to let me out.
I think the man that started surplus for purpose is a bully stopping me buying produce because I asked him if he was police.
Also I think he should have made sure the barriers were secured and not blowing over into the road as that is a safety hazard. He obviously took that problem out on me and has alienated customers.
Looks like the man is not trained to deal with neuro diversity and thinks questioning his authority is unlawful. Also be believes he can use security to keep people in the grounds against their will if he is upset with them.

After using surplus to purpose a few times & getting some great deals, I decided to try their delivery service.
If I am honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items delivered.
My order arrived within the agreed time slot & my delivery was left on the doorstep for me to pick up & pack away.
Saving the planet, reducing waste & saving money……. As a busy mum of 4, this service is revolutionary & a win/win for me
