Nice range of hampers

Nice range of hampers, bit of a pain when trying to add multiple delivery addresses during checkout, but contacted customer service and they sorted it out quickly for me and kept me updated on the delivery. Will use again.

Very Helpful

Have ordered from this company several times. Good choice of hampers for various occasions. This time I messed up on the delivery address, thinking the parcel could be collected like one does for click & collect, but although it was delivered correctly, it couldn't be released to the recipient because they didn't have the correct info/bar code for collection. Spicers were extremely helpful in sorting the problem out for me, and kept me informed at every step. They arranged for the hamper to be collected and redelivered without additional cost.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. After a problem with the carrier leaving parcels in the rain, Spicer's immediately sent a new order. And have very generously donated all the undamaged food to our local food bank. That is admirable. Thank you Kevin at Spicers

Christmas hampers

Have bought hampers from Spicers for 3 years now and always receive impeccable service.

Great value hampers but even better with early bird discount - website easy to navigate and deliver date always met.

We give these out to the employees who like the variety and quality of food.

On the occasions I have spoken to them, the staff have a polite and professional demeanour.

Excellent service 👍

Placed my first order with the company a couple of days ago, with an extremely helpful gentleman.
My order arrived today via DPD as promised & the items look superb!
Sadly I probably won’t get to drink any of them as they are Christmas gifts for others 😩
I can’t fault Spicers. Excellent customer service and the delivered as promised.
Thank you, Steve.

Absolutely appalling service

Absolutely appalling service, 17 days later got an email reply. Order delivered late (3 days) no updates, don’t answer phones. Order was placed over a month ago so had plenty of time to dispatch.
Avoid.

Hello Mark. I'm sorry for the experience that you have had. December is our busiest month of the year and as a result we've had a number of emails to work though, as well as a high volume of calls, so we can only apologise for the late reply. As I don't have your order details at hand (unable to discuss them on Trustpilot) I can't comment on your particular order but I can say that the courier we use had delays across the network due to COVID sickness and low staff numbers which caused some of our customers to receive their orders late, despite them being dispatched from us in time.

Failure to fulfil Christmas order paid for in October

I placed an order in October for Christmas hampers for our office staff to be delivered week commencing 6th December. On the 11th December I got notification that 50% of the order had been fulfilled. Despite several emails and calls and excuses about problems with addresses (not true) we are in the final days before Christmas and half our order has still not been dispatched despite payment being taken in October. Not impressed and would not use again

Great Quality & Excellent Support

We were looking for a supplier of corporate hampers to celebrate the competition of a major project. I found Spicers online and was impressed by the range on offer. Their Customer Service team supported me through each step and got the hampers to all the individuals on the team, saving me a lot of work. The quality is fantastic and great value for money.

Giving one star is truly more than deserved, messed up a Christmas order and then failed to respond to multiple emails and calls over the past couple of months. Definitely would never use again.
