Quick to order, delivery was fine. The only issue was the strawberry pencils are hard instead of soft!

I love the company

I love the company, love the choice of sweets, I would honestly give a 5 star if not for one constant issue, when I order tub sweets, most often you get a couple that are damaged, may not be you, its the courier your using. I know you do your best to protect goods, but the courier must throw them boxes about. I dont bother ringing, cause I cant be bothered with the hassle of sending back.

I would give them 5 stars if it weren't…

I would give them 5 stars if it weren't for a few minor issues. They don't offer a credit account, which makes things a bit inconvenient. The bigger problem is that they quite often run out of certain stock, meaning you either have to look elsewhere or wait 2-3 weeks. On bright side, when everything is in stock, their service is impeccable.
