Excellent as always
As always the customer experience was excellent with easy ordering and quick delivery.
I ordered the new Sticky Toffee Pudding bars but although really nice it was too rich for me. My favourite are the Chocolate Honeycomb all 3 flavours!

In spite of two emails you sent the chocs to me. They were a gift for someone else. Now I will have to parcel them up and post them.
I am disabled so this is a damn nuisance costing me a return taxi plus waiting time and of course the cost of the chocs.

We’ve searched our system thoroughly but haven’t been able to locate the emails you mentioned regarding a change of address. Could you please let us know the email address you used to send the message? This will help us investigate further and understand where the communication breakdown occurred.
While we fulfilled the order based on the information provided at checkout, we understand this doesn't resolve the issue for you.

Lovely chocolate
Lovely chocolate, especially liked the popcorn cluster. Items received quickly. Would buy again.
My only flaw is that the packaging seemed very excessive and lead to a bit of waste

Prompt service and delicious chocolate
Prompt service and delicious chocolate. The dark was better for my taste as it offset the sweet centres (popcorn, fudge), perfectly. The Black Forest bar was historically good!
