Dear Bradley,

We are sorry to hear that you did not receive half of your order and that some of the items were out of date. This is certainly not the kind of experience we want our customers to have.

We take quality control very seriously and we are sorry that we fell short in this instance. We understand how frustrating it must be to receive items that are not up to standard.

We would like to make things right for you. Please get in touch with our customer service team and provide us with your order number and details of the missing and expired items. We will investigate the issue and do our best to find a suitable solution for you.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate your feedback. It helps us to improve our service and ensure that our customers receive the best possible experience.

Thank you for choosing our company.

Best regards,
Dan

No issues - quick delivery

Had been hunting high and low for the White chocolate creme eggs as my wife loves them! Absolutely no one had any so thesnackchest came to the rescue.

Delivered quickly and without issues. Pretty much what you would want really.

I wanted to try the Fanta white peach and luckily I found it here at the snack chest. The prices were very reasonable as well as the p&p. I ended up ordering a few more bits alongside the Fanta. The products were in great condition and tasted amazing. Really happy with the service I received from The snack chest, Dan was very friendly and very helpful - my parcel got delayed as there was an issue with the courier service, they unfortunately ended up losing one of the items ordered and my parcel had to be repacked by them but Dan refunded me the amount for the lost item. The dispatch time from ordering was quick, the only let down was the courier service but sometimes these things do happen unfortunately. All in all great service and really happy with my items. 🙂

Disappointing delivery

The items were fine but after paying £6.99 for Express delivery and a next day delivery date, I was less than impressed to wait 4 days for the items and on enquiring about a refund, received no communication at the time. It is a shame as reading the reply here, it seems it was the courier who was at fault.

Hello Caroline. Firstly I would like to say that I dispatched your item within 2 hours of you placing the order, I sent this on a next day delivery. I am sorry that the courrier let you down, as on our delivery information page next day is not guaranteed. However this was out of my control so I feel like a 1 star review is a bit unfair.

As a goodwill gesture, I have refunded the difference between standard delivery and next day delivery for you. However this is stated in delivery information we will not refund this.

I am trying my best, however I can’t be responsible for third parties.

Thank you
Dan

DOESNT RESPOND TO EMAILS

I ordered 12/12/22; this included a bottle of biscoff topping which was delivered damaged. The bottle had split and leaked over the other items and had started to mould. I tried to save what I could but wasn’t much. I’ve emailed 4 times over the last 4 weeks and I haven’t received a response. Avoid. The customer service is seriously lacking or they’re not checking their emails.

Hello Amy, I’m so sorry about this.

I may miss an email from time to time, I know this is no excuse, however I run everything myself. I will reach out to you directly and resolve this for you.

Avoid!!! Incompetent seller!!

I ordered some products, they were delayed and were 'delivered' by the worst company in the UK, Evri. The boxes were left on the path and stolen within an hour. Now the company are ignoring my emails and refusing to reply/refund. Avoid!!!!

Hello Bethany

I did resolve this with you, and refunded you and Sean in full. Meaning I lost out on the product, and delivery costs.

I tried everything I could to resolve this for you, but I can’t be responsible for someone stealing your package from your house left by a third party carrier.

Nevertheless I had refunded you in full.

Thanks
