Great service, good products, the birds love the variety, well priced, great delivery within a few days.

Now more than ever, nature needs a helping hand, and that’s why we started Happy Beaks. By providing nutritious, high quality bird food at a price that is affordable to the masses, we can help you, help nature; and that feels great!
Of course we don’t want to give you just any bird feed, which is why, when it comes to our suppliers and bird food, we check, check and check again. Any feed or seed that comes through the doors of Happy Beaks, are and always will be, from the best bird food suppliers possible.
Happy Beaks offer next working day delivery with every order, as standard. Why? Because you wouldn’t want your birds to wait for their dinner, so we won’t make you wait for your delivery either.

From everyone at Happy Beaks, cheers!

Ordered sunflower seeds (said 5 in stock) and then nothing turned up for ages so I emailed them asking why it hadn't been dispatched. Got a response saying out of stock and they'd refund me.
Currently still waiting for the refund almost a month after ordering.
Won't buy bird food from these again.
I ordered 3 types of bird seed 2 arrived . I waited and nothing contacted Happy beaks and was told it was out of stock no refund issues after 3 emails still awaiting refund. Today I get an email check your PayPal account! If I did not pay by pay pal ! Still awaiting a refund nearly 6 weeks now! Come on Happy Beaks sort your customer service out !
Ordered two feeders (both showed in stock), nuts and fat balls.
Fat balls and nuts arrived ok, one feeder despatched at same time not arrived. Other feeder been told not available and refund will be issued. Diabolical service with exactly nil communication skills. Use at your peril!
If I could give it worse than 1 star I would.
I am in a dispute with them. Because only 1 of the 6 items I ordered have arrived. They are slow to respond and I have a different person answering my emails each time.
It is infuriating. Especially as to call them is an 0871 premium number.
I will never do business with them again.
I received a Premium bird table as a present from my grandaughter . What a load of cheap rubbish . Bits of left over wood and a piece of ply for the table on which the surface was already peeling . Doesn't matter how many extra screws you use it is still totally unstable .On behalf of my grandaughter I would like a refund . I have already written one letter re this but no reply !!
Ordered 3 bags of food on 16th Jan and qualified for free next day delivery. 19th Jan I got an email saying dispatched, and package arrived on 21st Jan. On opening my parcel I found only one bag not 3. Nothing in the package to say why it was missing 2 items. emailed to ask what had happened and was told the other items were out of stock. They were showing as in stock when I ordered. Was told I would get a refund in 7 to 10 days. On the tenth day, still no refund, so another email sent which did finally get me my refund. If you can't fulfil an order, you should at least let customers know, not just send part of it with no explanation. Also, if you say you will send a refund just do it, don't wait for a reminder. I have now found a reliable supplier for all my future bird feed needs, so won't bother wasting my time with you again.
Terrible customer service and totally disorganised - I ordered 2 items on the 16th January. When they dispatched the order on the 18th one of the items was out of stock - no e-mail to tell me this and more to the point NO REFUND. I've now contacted them twice - the first time on the 21st when they said the money would be back in my account in 5-7 working days. They've ignored my 2nd e-mail and now a full FOURTEEN WORKING DAYS since dispatch STILL NO REFUND. Never again and I couldn't recommend. We're in difficult times, but there are plenty of companies doing a whole lot better than this....
Ordered a variety of items weeks ago, when I call customer service, they give a different excuse and a promise of an expected delivery date. These dates have been and passed. Part of my order has now arrived but, no word on the rest. I would not recommend this company.
If ONLY if ONLY I had thought to read Trust Pilot Reviews and acted on them before I placed my order.
In all my years I have never dealt with such an unorganised company.
I ordered 4 items on 15th January 2021 and paid at that time, all items were showing at the time in stock and for next day delivery which was the reason I ordered from them during lockdown. The first delivery of one item took place 5 days after ordering and was by Hermes. I sent an email enquiring about the 3 other items and was informed they were out for delivery. The next day Yodel turned up with two more items, I emailed Happy Beaks again and was informed that the missing item was out of stock and they would refund me for it within 5/7 days. This old chestnut of an excuse seems to be happening often reading through the reviews. Eventually after several emails to them my refund appeared back on my card 19 days after I had paid for the 4 items.
The company uses excuse after excuse and WHY do they use a premium phone line for customers to contact them I wonder, something I refuse to use. You would think that things could not get worse but my wild feathered friends show no interest in Happy Beaks food supply.
So all in all a never to be repeated experience totally unnecessary worry and disappointment from start to finish.
PLEASE read these reviews and act on them we cannot all be wrong, I rest my case.
I placed an order for 3 types of bird food & birdbath cleaner on 13 January 2021 which l duly paid for. 2 of the bird food arrived 2 days later & the cleaner came separately next day after 1st package. I sent email asking about missing bird food & was told it was out of stock & that l would receive refund in 5 to 7 days.
1) l had to ask before l was told it was out of stock & 2) Having to wait 5 to 7 days is bad enough but in fact it took another 2 emails & a further 2 weeks when l finally received a refund on 3rd February 2021.
It goes without saying l will not be using this company again.
Do not use this company!l ordered 3 items priced at £3.99 each on 6th January, two arrived, no explanation where the other was. l made enquiries and was told the item was out of stock, l asked for a refund of £3.99. Over a week later no refund after three emails and two phone calls (there phone number being a premium rate number!!!) I have received a refund of £2.66 on 3rd February. I give up its costing me more in phone calls, disgusting customer service.
A great sales organisation who knows how to encourage repeat purchase but lacks in customer service and poor carrier solutions. Good but could be great
Doesnt answer the email questions and provide updates in the case of slow order execution and tracking from order receipt to outbound shipping
Not sure using Yodel via Whistl actually works as you get different tracking info at different times.
Happybeaks should look at the customer journey and experience rather than focus on internal stuff if it wishes to delight customers - forget the discounts and invest in the back end
I have given Happy Beaks a one star review because it won’t let me me select zero.
I placed an order with them on 18th November. Only part of that order was available so they contacted me to say they would refund me the items not available. I also paid for next day delivery however it was several days before the item arrived. I was also promised a refund on that too. Now a month later I am still waiting for both refunds. After countless emails and several phone calls with always a promise from them that they will call me back (they never call back!) I have decided to contact the Ombudsman. The customer service is absolutely poor. I would never ever use this company again.
I placed an order for a bird feeder on 24 November. This was to be a Christmas present. I ordered some bird seed with it. This arrived a week later but no bird feeder. I queried it and was told a mistake had been made and a new feeder would be sent out, but I needed to wait 5 working days for this to arrive. A week later this had not arrived so I contacted Happy Beaks again. I was told it was now out of stock and would be a month before I could receive it. This will now not arrive in time for Christmas and is also out of stock / not able to be delivered in time from other sellers. I am very unhappy with the service I received. Unhappy beaks would be a better name for this company.
What a rotten company. We ordered bird food in Septembefor next day delivery. The delivery got lost???? & because we were going away had to re order when we got back by which time we were out of some of the food. Stupidly we again ordered from them over this last weekend expecting the delivery for Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Today is Thursday & we still don't know when it will be delivered. We are told there is a mistake on the address. I asked for compensation & none was offered. This is the last time I wil use this dour supplier. Worst service ever.
Trust pilot should give a no star option, wouldn’t give one star! Like others ordered for next day delivery, almost one month later still waiting!! Do not order from this company without checking first they can do what they say.
Update...contacted them yesterday to be advised today - why they couldn’t advise this upon order receipt or any other time in the intervening month I don’t know! - they’d be unable to supply order so a refunds been arranged. Will have nothing to do with this company again.
Happy beaks DO NOT delivery next day as promised.
11 day delivery and two separate deliveries.
Awful service. Will never order from them again.
I emailed them to ask how to leave a review and they said I would receive an invitation email shortly. Unsurprisingly I did not receive that email.
Do not consider this company. There are plenty other bird food companys to purchase from that do deliver when they say.
I Placed an order with this company 2/10/20 for 12.75kg sunflower seeds, this was advertised as free next day delivery, a week later still no sign so I contacted them to find out why, they said it was a warehouse problem, to cut a long story short, I had to contact them twice more and even had to remind them of consumer law, I cancelled my order and eventually, got a refund on the 20/10/20, the whole time this went on they still advertised free next day delivery for the same item as well as others, they are by far the worst company I have had dealings with for a very long time, you have been warned.
They cancelled my order without any notification took the money I have had to ring twice now supposed to be getting refund on Wednesday don't buy from these people
Absolutely disgusting service would not recommend anybody using Happy Beaks, next day delivery!!!! I have now been waiting over a week for a refund as my seed was not sent.Perhaps Derek Whitsance will deal with this because he replies straight away to positive reviews so hopefully he also deals with negative reviews.
