Late delivery - next day and expensive delivery and no refund.

Ordered mangoes for next day delivery. No emails to confirm shipping and when I emailed to chase was told that the shipping company ‘lost’ my order and that they would send in a few days. Had to chase again on the day of sending and they emailed saying sent and would be next day. Then got an email with tracking. Got my GREEN mangoes a week after order had been placed. Requested 2x for a refund for delivery- no response re this. Second time I’ve ordered mangoes and both times delivery has been late.

Edit: I chose a day for it to be delivered when checking and yes, this was next day AND next working day. Then we had a bank holiday and it was delivered after this.

Dear B,

The delivery charges are not for next day delivery but for next working day delivery. We cannot ship mangoes over the weekend as produce might get impacted in transit. If order is placed on Thursday, we have to ship it on Monday being next working day. The date is always estimated. Mango being very high demand product and also shipments are subject to clearance etc, we cannot guarantee exact date of delivery but 90% of our order go on time.
Sincere apologies for the inconveniece caused.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Red Rickshaw Team

Not really alphonso mangoes

I ordered a box of 12 alphonso mangoes on 23 April. While the box in which they arrived said they were king alphonso mangoes, when we opened the box and tried the mangoes they were not alphonso at all. I emailed the company to complain but have not received any response as yet. I will not be ordering from them again.

DO NOT ORDER

They took the money and and they havent shipped the order since 10 days.

Seems its under new management. Last couple of years they had the best mangoes with timely shipment. This year they charged me yet no order has been shipped after 2 weeks. They don’t answer the phones/emails.

New management are scamsters!

The company’s website says it is under new management and accepting orders for mangoes. Unfortunately seems like a scam - I paid up and have been waiting for my order to arrive for a week. There’s been no response from the company to repeated emails on my order status. No one answers the phone, no response to the voice messages I’ve left.

Out of business?

I always used to find RR very good. But just now when I visited their website, this popup message appeared:

"Dear Customer,
Despite having a loyal customer base and a strong reputation, the deteriorating economic environment has made it increasingly difficult for the Company to meet its’ day to day expenses whilst attempting to meet its necessary growth targets.
With no prospect of further investment, the directors have taken the difficult decision to cease trading with immediate effect.
Please note, if you have an outstanding order you will receive a full refund.
We would like to thank our customers for all of their support over the years.
We have engaged PKF GM, a business advisory and corporate recovery firm, to assist the Company in placing it into Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation.
If you have any queries regarding your order or the proposed Liquidation, please contact PKF GM at redrickshaw (at) pkfgm.co.uk."

Sad. At least they are doing this the correct way.

No mango delivery and lack of full refund

I ordered a box of 12 Alphonso mangoes to be delivered on the 25th of May 2022. This was my first order as Red Rickshaw came highly recommended. The order was never delivered and upon emailing the company I received a refund of £29.90 but to date, despite numerous emails, I have not received the balance of £5.99 representing the shipping. I am extremely disappointed.

bad quality and bad service

i made 2 orders.
order 1: i ordered 3 bags of amla out of which one was rotten.!!! i let them know but no refund was offered.

order 2:
i ordered 2 items, each £2.50
delivery costs £5.99

they were out of stock, so sent me just one item and i paid £5.99 for delivery.

I would have expected that they let me know, so i could have a chance to cancel that order. the one item came in a huge box too. What a waste of my money and the planet's resources.

not shopping with them again

I love okra

I love okra, and the 'sliminess' some people dislike is simply an easy to digest form of dietary fibre. There is none available in any shop near Camborne.
After ordering 500g from Red Rickshaw, it was quick to arrive, and very fresh, large okra far better than in any shop I know. Superlative! Couldn't be more pleased! 😀

Appalling service

Appalling service. Email at 16.15 on day of delivery saying would not be delivering because of "quality control issues". No indication of when would be delivered. I emailed to cancel immediately as needed it for that evening and no use for it the following day. No response till next day when was told that could not cancel as on the way. Repeated request for cancellation and refund. Told shame to waster perishable goods and offered £15 voucher on next purchase (there will be no next purchase) Delivered to wrong address that day and i had to go and pick up. Point blank refusal to cancel and refund despite repeated requests. Latest response today is that I could only cancel 2 days before delivery! Unclear how that possible when only told me on day of delivery that would not be delivered. Dreadful service, appalling responses with refusal to engage with issue. Will certainly not be using them again.

I sincerely apologise for the poor service you have experienced with your order. Please be assured that this does not happen often.

I understand that this was not suitable for you I apologise again for the poor communication during this process.

I understand that you have now been refunded in full and we do hope you can order again in confidence. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or feedback.

Unreliable: no delivery, no customer care

I placed my order on Tuesday, they claimed they would deliver by 6pm on Thursday. On Thursday at 6pm I emailed them asking why I did not receive my package, they said it was becaise one of the items was not available (do I have to reach out for them to realize it?), that I would get my order the day after, and closed my ticket. The order didn't arrive the day after either.
I asked for a refund and won't order from here again.

Delicious mangos at peak ripeness. 4 stars only because they promised they’d come Monday and they arrived 1st thing Tuesday, which feels like a very small quibble. Would definitely order again.
