A happy repeat customer

I have placed a number of orders from Ethical Apothecary and have always been really pleased with the products and customer service. Recently I contacted Sam for skincare advice as some products I have used for years have sadly been discontinued. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and I am now happily using my new products from Ethical Apothecary, Thank you.

Quick delivery & Excellent Customer Service

Quick delivery, and excellent customer service. 1 (out of several) items was not available, and an alternative was offered immediately, which given the time I ordered (between Xmas and NY) I thought fantastic! I have used EA before, and highly recommend them to everyone.

Had to contact this company because of my own error. Couldn’t have been easier and had a very speedy resolution.
The product I chose for my son and son in law was their stand out item in a beauty box containing other products from different companies.
Excellent service.

So happy to hear you found the website easy to us, we have spent a lot of time trying to make it quick and easy so that's music to our ears thank you. In response to the soap going faster than expected, may I suggest it is always stored in a dry place whilst not in use out of the shower or on a soap dish and not stood in water or near sunlight.

wrong scent sent…

My order took six days to arrive and although you showed stock of the bitter orange lip salve when I ordered, you were out of stock and you sent me another scent. As this original scent was asked for specifically by my daughter for Christmas, I am not sure what to do. It there any chance that you will have the bitter orange lip balm by Christmas?

Dear Judith,
Im sorry to hear your order has taken longer than you expected. This circumstance while regrettable and most unusual is unfortunately beyond our control. We make every effort to ensure our customers safely receive their orders by using Royal Mail track and signed as a small business Royal Mail is the best service available to us and our customers. However it appears on this occasion despite our best efforts in dispatching your order straight away the Christmas postal demand has resulted in your order arriving later than you had expected. We endeavour to ensure deliveries arrive within 2 - 3 working days, however we also advise in our Frequently asked questions that busy postal periods may result in delayed deliveries. As a consequence of your poor review and 1 star rating, which as a small business is upsetting for us to see, we will explore ways of making our recommendations to order early to avoid delays during busy postal periods ( Christmas) more visible on our website. I really hope you are pleased with your lovely Ethical Purchases and hope to earn a 5 star review from yourself soon.
Best wishes
Sam & Mel

Hello Judith just to let you know we have popped the orange lip balm in the post 1st class today so hopefully you will receive it soon.
It’s a lovley one I hope your daughter enjoys it as much as we do

Very best wishes

Love this product

No complaints with this product. I love the smell and the feel of my curly hair, after it's been washed. Fast delivery and everything can be recycled ♻
Thank you so much.
