The food is really good quality, albeit expensive. They are not super organised but make up by calling up to discuss any issue that there might be with your order. I've used them regularly in the past... See more

Terrible Customer Service and Bad Delivery

I placed an order on Wednesday and received confirmation it would be delivered on Thursday.
Nothing was delivered on Thursday and no communication was received, so I started calling customer service - no reply.
Finally, on Saturday afternoon I receive an email that blames the missed delivery on a system error - my order will now be delivered on Tuesday.
On Monday the payment goes through minus one of the items, which was available at the time of my order, but is not anymore.

I ask for a refund, just for the delivery cost (about 10% of the order value) as I recognize the mitigating factor of the "system glitch".
I also ask whether my order would be picked out fresh on Tuesday or whether my Thursday order is just sitting around waiting to be delivered (I ordered fresh products).

The reply? "There was a system error, your order is being sent out as a priority."

Pretty poor

Dear Paul, thank you for your review. We have a cut off times where all the orders are automatically printed after midnight the day before delivery, unfortunately due to a bug in the system it was possible to place an order after the cut off so it was not possible for us to processed your order on time. Our IT team solved the problem as soon as we noticed the failed system. Furthermore, we want to reassure you that if your order had fresh products this have been checked before the delivery to make sure they are fresh and in perfect condition. If you have any kind of problem with your order, please contact us at info@nifeislife.com and we can help you. Please accept our apologise for the inconvenience caused and we looking forward to serve you again in the future. Kind regards, the Nifeislife team

Prodotti italiani (Produce of Italy)

Very happy with service from Nifeislife. One of the very few places I can get Sorrento lemons (in season of course) to make my lemon sorbet. The other produce in my order is top quality. Delivery charges are very reasonable and delivery times, specially in the current situation, are reasonable.

Dear Julio, thank you for your review. We are extremely sorry about your bad experience. The Shipments have been detained longer, and some of the flights have been grounded due to the Global situation we are experiencing so for this reason it was not possible to replaced your flour and we refunded it as our availability of products was limited. During the peak of Covid-19 it was not possible to modify the order as we experienced an extremely high amount of orders. We are dedicated to ensure everyone receives what they need and by making any amendments this wouldn’t have been possible. Regarding your damaged items please send us an e-mail to info@nifeislife.com and we will help you solve this issue. Kind regards, the Nifeislife team

Poor service

Very poor customer service, I made an order on the 22nd of March for a delivery on the 9th of April.
Order still shown as "pending" on the 9th April morning, impossible to contact there over the phone so sent an e-mail asking about status of my order.
They replied saying that it would have been delivered in the evening between 20:30-22:00.
The order arrived at 20:30 sharp and with the key item (rack of lamb) missing as "out of stock".....
So very bad planning and organisation and terrible customer management.
Never ever I will order from them.

Dear Barbara, thank you for your review. We only process orders shortly before the delivery date, this also does mean that the payment will be processed the day of delivery then you will be able to see the status change to Paid, once we have completed preparing and processing the order. You booked your delivery slot from 20:30 to 22:00 so your order has been delivered on time. We are extremely sorry for the missing rack of lamb but as we explained through e-mail we had a delay of butcher's delivery so it was not possible to deliver it to you. We would like to apologise once again, and we really hope you will give us the chance to gain your trust again in the future. Kind regards, the Nifeislife team

Dear Imma, thank you for your review.

They make you pay twice

They make you pay twice, and then ensure that the refund of money is going through, however it takes more than 2 weeks for them to sort it out. Horrible customer service. Said by an Italian loyal customer

Very bad experience

Very bad experience. I placed my order, paid, received my invoice of payment. 4 days later, convinced that i was going to get my order, i discover that my order hasn’t even been sent yet. After many emails, the company is claiming that i did not pay, although i showed a proof of my payment. Terrible customer service, and terrible service.

Incomplete order. Bad service. Avoid.

I placed an order online. I received an email confirming everything was in stock, and another email later on with delivery times(all items still in stock). Yet my order arrived incomplete, with the most important ingredient missing(wild chicory).
There was no communication what so ever to indicate there would be missing items, apart from the delivery note inside the parcel!
I would have cancelled the order had I known the items weren't in stock, but they neglected to tell me as they probably wanted not to lose the total order value.
This is very bad business practice, sneaky and underhand. I was duped, they were not honest. This company do not answer their phones. This company do not offer to send out the missing items separately. Very bad service, feel like I've been ripped off. Avoid.

Nice quality products and efficient dispatch. But their accounts department queried our payment even though we had paid in full (this was some months ago) and although we sorted it out we felt that they were rather disorganised.

I have ordered buffalo Mozzarella 500 g.
Convinced I would have received a 500 g Mozzarella, instead I have received a pack of small buffalo Mozzarelle same brand and quality of a Tesco or Sainsbury's supermarket.
Just tasteless as that.
I have ordered porchetta di Ariccia.
Doubt it is from Ariccia, I have lived most of my life near Frascati (and Ariccia), and been there eating porchetta several hundreds times, I have never seen it sliced as thin as mortadella and flavour don't match at all.
Really disappointed.
