I recently had to reach out to customer services and they were absolutely fantastic. Professional service with empathy and kindness. I have been a customer for over 5 years and cannot recommend Park enough. I am on a low income and it is a great way to save a little money so that I can have some treats over the Christmas/festive period. Five star service. Thank you.

Perfect for spreading the cost

Park is a brilliant way to plan ahead for Christmas. I like that I can adjust my savings target if my circumstances change. Everything is simple to manage, and knowing I’ve already saved up means I can actually enjoy the festive season without worrying about money

Easy to set up and can pay by direct debit each month so no fear of forgetting to make payment.

Saves me paying for Xmas on my credit card and then paying it all off in Jan, Feb & March.

Love2shop cards are accepted at all the retailers I shop at, so very convenient.

Hi Derren,

Unfortunately, we no longer offer the large food and drink hampers. I understand they were very popular when available.

We do, however, sell a range of small gift hampers:

I wonder if you realise just how offensive your TV advert is to Vegans / vegetarians. Would never buy from them.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for contacting us.

A turkey is a traditionally accepted symbol of Christmas, used extensively to market seasonal products and services across many sectors. Our advert uses an animated character of a Christmas turkey to convey a serious message about being an early bird planner but delivered in a memorable and fun way.

However, when creating content designed to be fun and humorous, we understand it will not appeal to every consumer. Rest assured it was not our intention to create discomfort and we regret that has been your experience.

Thanks
James

Hi Christine,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

For over 50 years, Park has helped families plan ahead for a more relaxed and affordable Christmas by allowing customers to spread the cost through manageable payments throughout the year.

This is an optional service, so there is no obligation to join if it isn’t suitable for you.

Kind regards,
James

2025 was my first year.

2025 was the first time using Park.

Signing up took the stress out from having to fund for everything all at once and the ordering process was super easy.

2026 order is already in and on my way to paying it off.

Absolutely terrible

Absolutely terrible. I had an order which I paid into all year, they sent the wrong card out so I couldn’t use it for my Christmas Eve shop for food which I had planned to. So they arranged a refund, I am still waiting for it in the 6th January. There seems no rush to get my money back to he at all, no offer of goodwill for this massive inconvenience and poor service, and I have 2 payments coming out of my bank today which I can’t pay as I have not had my money back yet and will probably get bank charges for bouncing direct debits. Terrible and will not use again.

UPDATE as it won’t let me reply to your comment James, but I still do not have the money, and why you have bothered to reply on here yet no one has bothered to contact me directly, just backs up the poor service.

Thank you for your recent review.

I appreciate you providing the additional information requested. I’m sorry to hear about your experience, and I completely understand how frustrating this must have been.

After checking your account, I can see that we processed a refund on 23/12/2025, which was accepted by our finance team on the same day. Please check the bank account details you provided to our advisor, as the funds should now have been received.

If you have not received the refund, please email getus@getpark.co.uk with the subject line “FAO James”, and I will review the call and refund details for you.

I can also see that £10 was credited to your Park account on 02/01/2025 as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience caused. I am sorry if you hadn't been informed of this.

This amount can be refunded if required; however, you will need to contact us by phone so we can arrange this for you.

Kind regards,
James

Stopped food hampers

Such a shame they stopped doing food hampers, could have done with them the past few years. Saving all year knowing you could put food on the table at Christmas. Was with them for many years, taking over from an agent who I bought through before that. Stopped when they decided not to do food hampers.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we do not offer large food and drink hampers anymore.

However, we do provide a wide range of gift cards and vouchers that can be used for food and drinks, as well as a small selection of smaller gift hampers.

I received vouchers which were a total of £200 from Park Hampers in 2025 but when I wanted to pay for my xmas shopping, it was declined. This happened several times and I had to pay this in cash or with my debit card. I contacted Park Hampers and I asked if the vouchers could be replaced with sainsburys gift cards but the were refused. I returned the declined cards back to Park Hampers. Never again

Great service.....

I phoned earlier today about an issue with the code on my Amazon card (I scratched off some of the code) and both members of the team were very polite and efficient and got the issue sorted within a couple of hours. Great service.
