Hi Greta,

I'm really sorry to hear that. Would you able to provide some more information by email and I'll try my best to help? We hate to see any customers disappointed with our products or service.

Exceptional Customer Service

One of the items ordered Orange and Ginger Biscuits arrived crushed
As they were going to be a present I phoned up to see what could be done.
Excellent customer service in that they apologised although it was not their fault and replaced the item immediately
Obviously the broken ones were eaten by the family and they were delicious so we will be reordering soon

Generally an excellent delivery service as I’ve ordered a number of times but this delivery has taken 6 days and it was to be a gift.
However products are beautiful and well packed and make lovely gifts xx

Thank you Carol for your kind review.

I'm really sorry to hear about the longer delivery time than normal. Whilst we do aim to deliver within 7 days, we can't always guarantee it.

If you ever need something delivering in time for a specific occasion, please do get in touch with us and we'll do what we can to speed up delivery!

Inedible so called 'Luxury Biscuits'

I bought a pack of Williams All butter Shortbead which arrived today (from Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe). They were Best Before 21.01.26 and were inedible. It was so bad that we (there were 3 of us) couldn't swallow the first mouthful. it tasted and smelt as if the butter was rancid. They do not deserve even a I star. Never Again!

I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the biscuits you recently purchased.

This is extremely unusual, and absolutely not the experience we expect our customers to have. Please contact me directly at rory@williamshandbaked.co.uk and I'll do my very best to resolve this for you.

Kind regards,
Rory

Was pleased to find I could still get these biscuits, used to buy them at Chelford at the Sunday market. Only thing missing is the lovely Dundee biscuits. Will definitely buy again.

Tardy Delivery

Disapppointed by the time taken by the delivery firm(s): our delivery arrived on our door step during the second half of this i morning (Wednesday 06.August)) . One suspects that Royal Mail / Parcelforce are largely inactive at weekends but they have not shown haste since despite our consignment containingperishable foods.

Thank you for your considered review, and I'm sorry it's taken a bit longer than normal for your parcel to be delivered by Royal Mail. Under ideal circumstances your order would have been delivered on Monday, but as Tracked 48 isn't a guaranteed service, occasionally deliveries do take a little longer. Despite the delay, I do hope you enjoy the contents! —Rory
