Excellent!

I had a really positive experience with American Kandy Co. My order was shipped really quickly and arrived via Evri in a few days with everything just as I had ordered. I had been let down by another American sweet store so was nervous of ordering from here but have to say I had no problems whatsoever. My children were thrilled with the American goodies in their Christmas stockings! Thank you :)

never disappointed in the delivery time…

never disappointed in the delivery time and always happy with everything we have received everything. I would recommend every time I used different companies before, and there is always a problem but never had one with American kandy.

Always positive

I have made numerous orders and have always had positive opinions - if there is a delay which is normal sometimes and I have always been kept up to date - always a wide variety of options for products and I like the fact that they post on TikTok and give you a mention when ordering

AVOID!!!!!!

Ordered on 21/12 for a birthday gift on 09/01 and still paid extra delivery fees to go through DHL so I’d have it in time. Received a tracking number thats neither use nor ornament and DHL’s system doesn’t even recognise my postcode!!! DHL’s tracking was updated on 22/12 saying that they had not received my order and then again on 23/12 saying delayed. Went on the website on 29/12 to get email address to find the website had been shut down for Christmas until 05/01 which was not stated on the website at the time of ordering!! Still sent an email for them to respond to upon their return, followed this up with another email on 05/01 and then again today on 07/01. I’ve contacted DHL on 3 different occasions and via 3 different platforms, each time they’ve confirmed that they have not received my parcel. I actually ordered via clearpay, purely just incase something like this happened which I’m so glad I did. My first payment with clearpay was due this week so I launched a complaint with them and did not pay it. The seller responded saying that I now have to wait to have my order cancelled whilst he “launches” an investigation with DHL. What a load of rubbish!!!! Just send the parcel or cancel the order and I’ll go elsewhere like I should have in the first place!!! This is after 2 and a half weeks from ordering!!! Absolute JOKE!!!! Appalling customer service! Avoid at all costs!!!!

**Edit** thank you Tom for your very “useful” response. However, I had a reply via email from Nathan yesterday stating that your company was just completely overwhelmed with orders around the Christmas period and was just unable to deal with the demand. He also stated that my order was in fact picked & packed but never left the warehouse so it never made it to DHL. Perhaps consult with each other to get your stories straight before responding in future?

Conclusion…..still avoid!!

UPDATE: Parcel has been found to be unaccounted for and a full refund has been processed.
UPDATE: Further to my investigation i have found that the parcel cannot be tracked using your personal postcode as you have had the delivery changed to a service point.

Hello leona, i am sorry for the frustration. However as previously mentioned in my email, your parcel was sent out and can clearly be sown as with DHL at the depot so your parcel was sent out but has been lost in the transit network.

Your tracking number is valid and i can see your parcel. However, you are correct when you say your postcode is not letting you access the portal.

We have to contact DHL to ensure the parcel is returned to us before issuing a refund.

I expect a response from DHL today regarding your parcel and once i have confirmation your refund will be released.

Best,
tom

Rubbish company

Rubbish company, "order now for Xmas deliver" 2 days before Xmas everi havnt even received it. Can't contact them because they may aswell not have an email address or contact number. False advertising. False number when you call, comes up with a laptop company.. ordered on 16th of December..

Hello Olly,

I am sorry to hear you had issues with your order. It looks as though Evri lost your parcel and i sincerely apologise for this.

Even though the parcel shows as not collected this can be as easily done by the collecting courier not scanning the parcel.

Delivery for christmas was promised when ordering via DHL-Next-Day. As Evri has a 3-5 Working day minimum there is no way your items would have arrived before Christmas if ordering 2-days before. And i would like to advise this was not advertised on our website.

I am so sorry you did not receive your items and i would like to confirm we are negotiating new contracts with Royal Mail. This was supposed to have happened before Christmas but the striking action interfered with this.

I am now going to investigate and then issue you a refund.

Again, i am so sorry for the incontinence caused.

best,
tom

Review ammendment

After weeks of delay with delivery and no luck with getting a response from the company, my package arrived with half the contents missing. I was finally provided with a phone number via another review site and after a few attempts at ringing up, I got a call back. I explained the situation and the company gave me a full refund which I am very appreciative of.
I don't hold the company responsible for the delay in delivery due to the issues with the postal strikes but unfortunately getting in contact was extremely difficult and I feel this could be improved upon in the future. As for the missing items in my parcel, I can't say what happened there or whether this was a delivery driver taking liberties or an issue during the packing process but after finally getting in touch with the company, they put everything right so I am very thankful for their help.

Hello, Rebecca. I believe we spoke on the phone and issued you a full refund? If you could update your review to reflect this that would be great.

All the best,

Hello jade, i am sorry to hear you were not happy with your mystery box. All products add up to the value of the stated box. We always try our best with mystery boxes but as they are randomly selected we cannot always guarantee every customer will like them. Its always best to purchase individually to avoid disappointment.
