Thank You!

This is the first time I used Brown Paper Packages but won't be the last! One of our close friends lives in Portugal. She has 4 young children and her husband is critically ill with COVID in hospital. We have felt so far away and helpless. We sent her a self care package and the kids lots of fun activities to distracr them during this difficult time. We have received so many wonderful pictures of them opening their gifts. The company bundled the packages for us to reduce the shipping costs and even paid the import tax for her! What a remarkable company! Thank you for helping us to be there for our friend!

Vegan Wellness food hamper…

Ordered a Vegan Wellness food hamper for my daughter for Easter. I was kept well informed about despatch and delivery times. My Daughter loved it especially the salted caramel and was very impressed with the other products. Definitely will use the company again.

We're glad your daughter liked her hamper Zoe! Indeed the 'Dark & Salted caramel' is our favourite too ... so much so we're about to add the 'Mylk chocolate & salted caramel' to the range also. Look out for it in our build a box selection... hope to see you soon!

Very nice concept and gift, late delivery

Very nice concept and gift , but the gift was promised for next day delivery - which was not the case. Given it was a time sensitive present, disappointing that this wasn’t clearly flagged or managed.

Thanks for the feedback Vicki. I've checked your order & you are correct there was a days delay on our shipment promise (order before midday and deliver next day). I have refunded your shipping as means of compensation for this & we will conduct an internal review as to why this didn't go out on time. Apologies for the miss in service on this occasion!

It was a pleasure Sarah. International deliveries are certainly a challenge at present but we've worked hard to maintain our service levels so glad we didn't disappoint!

Will use time and time again - wonderful!

Can't recommend Brown Paper Packages more, I already can't wait for another birthday to send one of these again! A wonderful and diverse selection of thoughtful gifts at such a reasonable price. I was worried my delivery wouldn't arrive on a friend's birthday and their customer service was so efficient and friendly, I spoke to an actual human being on the phone and it was so quick to get through, and reassured me that it would - which it did! My friend absolutely loved it. Thank you! xxx

Wonderful that there are low sugar edible gifts

I was delighted to have found Brown Paper Packages online. All the other gift options for delivery seemed to have edible goodies that are loaded with sugar. I wanted to send a healthy treat to a friend who was recovering from surgery and cancer. I've never seen the parcel. She loved it when she received it. However I learnt from her later that the dark chocolate was too bitter to her taste. I realise that not everyone loves dark chocolate - worth checkin next time!

Thanks for the feedback Wilma! We do focus on 'healthy' snacks, so the chocolate you sent was vegan dark chocolate... In our assorment Raw Halos Mylk & Pink, & Mylk & Vanilla are slightly smoother, though still dark. We are however taste testing 'Milk' chocolate options, or the vegan version for the range (which is not a bad job!) and hopefully we can add to our assortment soon.

The recipient seemed to love it

The recipient seemed to love it, but of course I didn't get to see it. The jigsaw went down particularly well with my self-isolating daughter. I didn't receive an email confirmation of my order which was a bit disconcerting. There was no problem, the parcel was delivered on time (next day), and I got great personal service when I called to check.

Thanks for the feedback Jane. Yes unfortunately our notifications had a few bugs for the first week of our website launch on the 20th of January, but I'm happy to say we've fixed the issue. Glad the package went down well!

Good care package

Lovely care package with relatively healthy goodies. A bit too pricey though.

Thanks for the feedback Minni.. . we're super conscious of where we price our curated packages because we want them to be good value for the contents & message you send. Our build a box service does cater for all budgets though, with a minimum two items priced at £1.09 and upwards, so please do come back & trial this out next time.

Thanks Conor. Yes our Northern Ireland service is with Royal Mail & a little slower than our UK mainland delivery... we are working with our courier partner to try and offer an improved service. I'm glad you liked the personal touch... it does takes longer, but we think its worth it!

Fast friendly service

Delivered quickly directly to my friend who loved the wellbeing hamper. The only thing we both said was that it should be 'tied up with string'

Thanks Amanda for the feedback! Happy you clocked the referance to the film 'The sound of music'. It is indeed one of our favourite movies & the inspiration behind our brand name - in early customer surveys, not everyone did get the referance however so it became a 'nod towards', rather than us delivering on the full lyric.. we're glad you enjoyed the contents nevertheless!
