Absolutely perfect! Ordered 2 bouquets and asked if they would come in time for the following week and they did. Order came exactly as I wanted, definitely worth it.

I don’t recommend

Purchased several personalised chocolate boxes £14.50 each
Nothing personalised at all arrived in plain white flimsy boxes? That don’t stay closed, with a faded printed A4 happy Christmas inserted inside. Chocolate bars wrapped in a bit of tissue. I could of purchased the chocolate & done better & saved money

Good morning, I am sorry you feel like that and such a shame you went first here rather than contacting us.
The personalisation yours did have just Merry Christmas on them as that is all YOU requested on the order, YOU could have alsorts written on it but YOU chose not too. So this is down to YOU.
The boxes do stay closed with the Christmas sticker sent - never had an issue in 7 years.
Chocolate bars "wrapped in a bit of tissue" as all the website says bars are wrapped in tissue and you missed that yours was also wrapped in Christmas themed cellophane and a matching bow.
As you are clearly not happy you can happily contact us and return them and get a full refund.

Such a shame... poor experience

After reading such positive reviews, and never having ordered anything like this before, I was swayed to use this company. The product itself looked very pretty.. lovely message card.. recipient happy with gift. BUT... I found the customer service and delivery to be very poor indeed! Having had several emails back and forth, all I can say is, I must have got Pam on a bad day - twice! Such a shame, because all other reviews look so impressive - very sadly, this wasn’t my experience. I felt as though I’ve had my wrists slapped for daring to ask about the delivery, and the shocking state of the packaging delivered by the courier. I was apologised to, but in a ‘back-handed’ manner, I feel. 😔

18:25 hrs... in response to your input of my honest personal review...
I am unsure to whom I am addressing at this point, is it Pam or Charlotte?
Please re-read my review.
I praised where praise was due, and gave an honest feedback as to how I felt I had been dealt with by Pam - (the company/Charlotte?).
The order was placed on the 20th and no further response was received after initial email of order acknowledgment, until I contacted you on the 23rd, asking if you had any idea when the bouquet would be shipped/delivered. I felt your response was abrupt and unfriendly. But I left it at that. I then received an email saying it had been shipped on the 23rd. Hermes said they had the package on the 23rd. But this was not delivered til late morning today, 25th. The package was appalling and you’ve seen the photos which prove that. I praised your product, and said how pretty it looked- but I advised that I was shocked at the state of the packaging delivered by Hermes.
On informing you by email about all of this, I again felt your response to me was too aggressive and unnecessarily abrupt, and even a little condescending. I informed you of this fact, about your attitude and customer service, and closed contact with your company. Then left my review on TRUSTPILOT - giving what I believe to be a very fair and balanced review of my own experience... not my daughter’s, nor anyone else’s ... but my own! I now see that you wish to continue having your voice heard over a genuine customer, who never having used a company like yours, went by reviews showing 100% satisfaction, so I expected 100% customer satisfaction - but very sadly for me, it was not to be! Instead, you wish to carry this on in full view of anyone contemplating making a purchase from your company!? I also want to point out, your response directed at me on TRUSTPILOT this evening, is far more polite and respectful than the emails I have received from Pam. I gave my honest point of view in light of my own experience. Please leave this alone now - it’s happened and it’s done. My 1 disappointing review of your company will surely not have any effect on any of your future customers. People have free-will ... we will all shop wherever we choose to.

Dear Eloise, It is such a shame you feel this way. I know I give good customer service after having run this business for over 6 years - yours is the only ever comment like this. The bouquet was made and shipped and delivered in 4 working days - 3 days less than stated online all. Its was shipped Saturday and the order was received Monday morning by your daughter. However, on your many emails you are unhappy the next working day delivery took so long.
I arranged the next day delivery for you (at no extra cost to you) as you ordered the bouquet two days after your daughters birthday.
Yes the box was damaged by the courier during transit and I have apologised for this, but due to our packing the bouquet was not damaged and you have emailed to say the bouquet and very pretty and the colours very effective and intact and your daughter was happy with it also. Sadly I feel this review is more of a character review of me which I find more upsetting especially as you have never spoken to me in person. A very unfair review of my character and business.

Response 19.26 to 18.25. "wish to continue having my voice heard". My only comment is .....Yes when a review is left I have a right to reply, and I answered your points constructively and not personally.

Smashing it out if the park

Each order I have place with the chocolate box by Charlotte has been filled promptly and beautifully presented. I have made short notice and slightly different request but always completed with fantastic customer service.

Amazing service!

I ordered a chocolate bouquet and not only did you get more chocolates than other websites it's actually cheaper! The best thing about this lovely company is the personal touch and by that I mean the constant contact throughout my order. Pam ensured my delivery arrived before it was needed. My friends was wow'd by this stunning collection. THANK YOU PAM!

FANTASTIC!

FANTASTIC!! Really delighted with every aspect of my experience! Was concerned that a gift for my niece might not arrive in time for her birthday, so I emailed them. Charlotte not only replied within a couple of hours but personally ensured that it would - and did!! The gift was so beautifully wrapped inside inside the protective packaging that it seemed a shame to open it, but when my niece did so, the look on her face was worth any price - and this was also excellent value!! An extra bonus was that the Galaxy gift included a couple of Ripples - not readily available elsewhere (that got me extra brownie points) Cannot recommend these products or Charlotte's service highly enough: as I said: FANTASTIC!!
