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.

We are always really happy with our sweets, on this occasion we had an out of stock item so it was not delivered. I do wish instead of a refund that the item would just be sent out when back in stock as it is not worth reordering on it's own.

When my order arrived one of the boxes was open. To me it seems like it had been opened by the driver before delivering it. I did question the driver and he was giving very vague answers

So many products constantly out of stock coupled with the ridiculously high delivery costs makes Hancocks the least attractive supplier
