Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Customers frequently praise the exceptionally wide selection of hard-to-find British goods, the user-friendly website navigation, and the remarkably fast delivery times to international destinations. Consumers note that orders are typically carefully wrapped and protected, ensuring everything arrives in excellent and fresh condition ready to be enjoyed.

The service is always great and I know…

The service is always great and I know I am always going to get the products in the basket. The only thing I don't like is that they have changed the policy on multi buy items. You can also buy a certain amount, which was a little disappointing, but overall I love British Corner Shop

Efficient Shipping of Tasty Treats

First of all, our order came so quickly! This was for my son’s graduation party. I was afraid I ordered too late to get it on time, but figured it was worth the risk! It came in plenty of time, packed up beautifully. We did sneak a taste and opened the Mini Battenbergs and they were delicious! Can’t wait to taste the rest and we will order again!!!

Love the selection

Love the selection. Took week to get to me which was a few more days than I expected. Sat in Miami for several days and chocolate goods were of course somewhat melted. My bad but key learning buying from British Corner Shop in the summer is a mistake.

Hi,

Thank you for your updated review. However, we feel it is important once again to address a number of inaccurate claims that have been made publicly about British Corner Shop.

As we have previously communicated, the incorrect pricing on this product was the result of a technical error on our website and was in no way a deliberate attempt to mislead or overcharge any customer. We strongly refute any suggestion that British Corner Shop sought to "rip off" our customers, and we are disappointed that this inaccurate portrayal of events remains in your review.

We can confirm that British Corner Shop issued a full refund for your order directly — this was processed by us and communicated to you accordingly. We also want to make it absolutely clear that British Corner Shop does not sell on eBay. We have no affiliation with any eBay seller, and any ruling made by eBay has no relation to our business or this order.

We would always encourage our customers to work directly with our team at customersuccess@britishcornershop.co.uk to resolve any issues, and we remain committed to doing right by our customers.

Love my Scottish Tasty Bites

Easy website to navigate. Easy check out. I got my package in about a week. I was really impressed with how quickly it came.
This is my 3rd package and this one got opened by Australian Security and repacked, but my other parcels were packed very well and arrived in pristine condition.
The products have also had a long expiry date.

Excellent shopping experience

Excellent shopping experience! Order came quickly and packaged well. The delivery driver followed our instructions, very happy with the selection and service. What I have tried so far is excellent. Would highly recommend and plan to order again in the future.

Appalling Customer Service

After posting my initial review on here. Amazingly I received a reply with a request to send them photos of the contents of my box. However, a week on and still no response with regards to my initial complaint. I would just like to return the box and have a refund as most of the contents have a best before date of a June 2026.

Never would I recommend this company to anybody. Appalling customer service.
