Genuinely impressed. They had a bunch of products I couldn't find anywhere else, priced better than a lot of their competitors, and delivery was lightning fast. Surprised to see the other reviews here... See more

The DPD driver didn't bother to deliver…

The DPD driver didn't bother to deliver my parcel but claimed attempted delivery despite providing a black image and the van tracking never got within 20 miles of my house.
I then got an email saying they will now deliver my parcel a pick up point, which I can't get to, as I am disabled and I can't carry it. I tried to change it on the DPD app and got nowhere. So, I sent an email requesting to cancel and miraculously I got an email saying they would deliver to my house now.

You wont be shocked to hear, they did not, the exact same thing, "attempted delivery", not within 20 miles, just a black screen.

I have been promised a refund, but a week later, dpd havent returned the parcel to sosweet, so i cant get my refund until they do.

0/10 - please dont waste your time or money.

Hi Gabby,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, this is incredibly frustrating and not the level of service we ever want associated with your order.

Once a parcel leaves our warehouse and is with the courier, unfortunately it is out of our direct control. That being said, we completely understand how disappointing this situation with DPD has been, especially with the failed delivery attempts and the inconvenience it’s caused you. It’s not the experience we expect for our customers, and we’re truly sorry it’s impacted your order like this.

We absolutely want to get this resolved for you as quickly as possible. Please could you provide your order number so we can look into this directly and resolve this for you? We’ll make sure we do everything we can to sort this and ensure you receive the service you should have had from the start.

Again, we’re really sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Ordered 3 packets of sweets 1kg, the chocolate pack turned up broken, the bag was completely open so obviously was packed like this, the courier couldn't of done that, wanted a new one sent out but they said no got a refund just for the bag. Won't be using this company again

Disappointed

The ordering and delivery was fine but for £10 it was definitely not value for money. I feel like I need to go out and fill up the box myself as it's for a gift and there's hardly anything in it....plus there were loose sweets just chucked in the base not even bagged up. Maybe my order was incorrectly packed but feel very disappointed.

Ordered from SoSweet

Ordered from SoSweet. No items received. Raised a ticket and they said they'd investigate. I had to chase them for a response. They then advised I'd be refunded within 3-5 working days. Almost 2 weeks later and not refund has been received. I have chased, again, today 12.11.2025. Not hopeful that this will be resolved within the need for Small Claims Court proceedings.

You won’t get what’s pictured.

I ordered a product and what arrived was completely different than the picture but they won’t refund me because the title was right even though the picture was wrong. So basically ignore all the photos as they may not be what you receive.

Fantastic Sweet Shop.

So easy to order. Great variety of sweets ( jelly, blue, fizzy and all the regular favourites everyone enjoys ). Will definitely be ordering again as the value is amazing.

Poor Customer Service

I ordered bags of sweets, but what I received was completely different to what was shown on their website.

I contacted the company to request a return and refund, but after several back-and-forth emails, I am still waiting for a return label more than a week later. The delay makes no sense, and meanwhile I’m left with a box of sweets I never wanted.

I also pointed out that the product photo on their site was misleading and should be updated. Their response was that with 7,000 items, these mistakes “do happen.” There was no sense of ownership or reassurance that the listing would be corrected, which doesn’t inspire confidence.

The customer service experience has been very poor — slow, unhelpful, and with no initiative to fix their own mistake quickly. It’s also frustrating that you can’t simply request a return through the website but have to chase through emails instead.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend ordering here. It feels like they don’t understand what good customer service looks like.

Edit: I have now received the parcel label but have had to chase up the refund after a few weeks

Probably the best sweets and drinks I have ever had. I got £50 worth of items including the £10 expired mystery box. You might think this will be a box with 5 or less items in. In reality, it had over 30 items in. There was more in the mystery box than the actual order. I have just ordered another. Thank you so sweet. Just wondering, If you reply could you please put on a photo with a £10 expired mystery box and what is in it so people can see how filled these boxes are. I spent £+0 and got over £40 worth. Thanks again

I would not recommend this business for weddings or important events.

We booked a dessert table donuts, cotton candy, etc. with a confirmed 2:00 PM delivery time. There was no mention of a “delivery window.” At 2:00 PM there was no delivery, no phone call, and no response to repeated calls and texts. The first message we received was at 3:23 PM saying “on my way. That’s over an hour late on the day of a wedding.

When the vendor finally arrived, they refused to bring the items inside, even after being given simple directions to an accessible first-floor entrance. Instead, we were told that if someone didn’t come outside, they would leave with the desserts items we had already paid half down on and were prepared to pay the remaining balance for. This caused unnecessary stress and scrambling during the reception.

What was most disappointing was the owner’s response afterward. Instead of accountability, she deflected by rewriting the timeline, blaming background noise from frustrated guests, and making personal remarks about me as a customer. None of that changes the facts:
• The delivery was late.
• Calls and texts went unanswered until 3:23 PM.
• The delivery was not completed as agreed.

On a wedding day, professionalism, punctuality, and clear communication matter. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

Choose your vendors wisely.

AVOID GO ELSEWHERE

AVOID GO ELSEWHERE! I ordered a £50 mystery box and all items either were extremely out of date or very close to being out of date.
I did not order a out of date box, I ordered a normal box!
I emailed pictures of items out of date and close to date.
I put out of date items in the bin as you would as sweets and crisps very out of date are disgusting to eat.
So sweet wanted the box back meaning for me to post it back when I do not have time for that and this was a fault of there's not mine.
I wanted a refund as you would as I am out of pocket! Obviously refund was refused by so sweet and that there is rubbish customer service as I more then likely would have purchased more items but I 100% will be going elsewhere! Avoid at all costs and spend your hard earned money elsewhere!

50/50

I bought several things. Some Reese’s which I love and so are great. Also some lays crisps, yet to try. Main reason for my order was the bottled crunchy caramel popcorn. Sadly disappointed. Taste nothing like caramel. Haven’t really got much of a taste, taste they do have isn’t that pleasant. Don’t buy them!!

Good afternoon Nicola

Thank you for your review and for your honest feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Reese’s, and we hope the Lay’s crisps are just as satisfying when you try them!

We're genuinely sorry the caramel popcorn didn’t meet your expectations. Taste can definitely be subjective, but your comments help us understand where improvements might be needed. Furthermore, I can confirm this product was thoroughly taste tested before offering to customers.

Pringles aren’t worth it.

I ordered 4 packs of American flavoured Pringles. Sadly all 4 were excessively smashed inside when they arrived. The outside packaging was fine and they were boxed well. I suspect this is to be expected due to extended shipping from America. I would avoid ordering these Pringles.

Hi Warren

Thank you for your review, and we're truly sorry to hear that all four packs of Pringles arrived in poor condition. We completely understand how disappointing that must have been, especially when everything appeared to be packaged well on the outside.

You're right — international shipping can sometimes take a toll on more fragile items like Pringles, even with secure outer packaging. That said, this isn’t the experience we want our customers to have.

Please reach out to our customer service team at hello@sosweetshop.co.uk and we’d be happy to look into a resolution for you, whether it’s a refund, replacement, or another solution.

We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take this into account as we review how we handle and ship similar items in the future.

I had a little problem with the delivery because of the people who delivered it they definitely didn’t handle with care and I was a bit gutted. So sweet done everything possible to correct the damage the delivery company caused. Honestly 10/10 for how they have looked after me and the snacks so far have been delicious.

Misleading Information

I ordered a few different American Snacks like Cheetos and Lays flavours from their website. I did receive the correct flavours, but they were all made in Poland, not the USA. The website didn’t mention this clearly, and the taste is definitely not the same. These Polish versions are not as good as the American ones. This is misleading and disappointing overall.

Hi Kamalpreet

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we're really sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

We understand your frustration — when you order American snacks, you expect the authentic U.S. versions. Some international versions (like those made in Poland under license) are produced for the European market, and while they often have similar branding, the taste can vary.

We never intend to mislead our customers, and we truly regret that your experience didn’t match your expectations.

Thanks again for your feedback — it helps us improve.

The shop and items I recieved were fine, but the women who served us couldn’t have been more miserable. An older lady who had a face like a slapped arse, clearly didn’t want to be there. Costumer service was horrendous. Apart from that, the items were great 😊
