Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 391 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people reported significant issues with their orders, frequently receiving incomplete, incorrect, or damaged items. Customers also frequently experienced substantial delays in delivery, with some orders never arriving at all, despite promises of faster shipping. Reviewers highlighted a widespread lack of communication, with emails and calls often going unanswered, making it difficult to resolve problems. Many consumers struggled to obtain refunds for missing or incorrect items, often facing unresponsiveness even when a refund was promised. However, some customers also noted that a few orders did arrive quickly and with all items present and safely packaged. A few other people also felt that the product selection was good, and some even received immediate refunds or rectifications for issues, though this was not the common experience.

Missing £10 cupcakes from my order, but customer service replied once then ghosted me. Do not order from this company! Sadly i hadn’t looked for reviews before ordering.

Customer service wont response and im missing items that should have been sent before Christmas!

I made an order on the 29th November. When it was delivered nearly 3 weeks later (I do understand Christmas is a busy time) I had 2 items missing. I emailed the support straight away and got a reply 2 hours later asking if the parcel had been tampered with. It handnt been and I also sent photos. I didnt hear anything so I emailed twice more with no response. I then emailed saying I would take it further as I had no more replies and ive paid for a product and not received them. I then got a response saying that they had been sent and I would get my missing items by the 22nd of December. That came and went its now the 13th of January and im still waiting for my missing items or a refund and no one is responding to my numerous emails and they wont answer the phone and their messages are full so I can't speak to anyone. Im 27 pounds out if pocket and cant get hold of anyone! Its absolutely disgusting! Its a shame as the items I did receive were all really good but the customer service is a disgrace and now im left out of pocket! AVOID this company i feel like ive been scammed!

I wouldn't recommend this online store

I wouldn't recommend this online store. Placed an order of two 192g Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds on 14th December. Took them 8 days before they shipped my order. Received my order 3 weeks later and got wrong order. They sent me milk bar instead of the ones with almonds. Customer service still has not replied to me regarding refund. Horrible and waste of money!

Have I been scammed

Do not order from this company, I'm pretty sure its a scam at this point. Made an order on the 5th of December and still have not received anything (it's now the 13th of January). Wish I read these recent reviews before ordering as I defiantly would have not spent my money on them. I did email just to see what was happening but shock no response like many of these other orders. I did receive a "Your order is on the way" but have not had any emails off any supposed couriers which it's been handed over too...... Over all an horrific experience and at this point I've lost all hope.

Absolute joke

Ordered some things from here and it took ridiculously long to arrive, then ontop of that a couple of items were missing when I received the package.

After continuous emails asking where these items are and if ill be receiving them ive jad no response at all.

Absolute joke

Scam

Ordered a month ago, order still not received and no response to enquiries. It is in the hands of my credit card company now I urge anyone who has been scammed by this company to do the same. Process a dispute.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE
I wish that I had read these reviews prior to ordering - I won’t make that mistake again!
I’ve emailed multiple times and submitted forms online, messaged on Instagram with absolutely no response. I don’t see how a company can take your money and then just completely ignore you.
I ordered 16/12
‘Dispatched’ 23/12 - no tracking information provided
No sign of parcel, absolutely no contact from the company.

Ordered weeks ago

Ordered weeks ago, left 5 emails to see order update, nothing but automated reply, wish I had read these reviews before I ordered. Do not order from this company.

Unacceptable customer service

Placed an order at end of November for Christmas presents, received the order over 3 weeks later with 3 products missing and two incorrect items. I have emailed several times and this has not been rectified. Will never order from this company again and would recommend the same for anyone reading this review.

Ordered on the 17th Dec and wasn’t expecting miracles as it was Christmas but ordered for my husbands bday in Jan. Order said it was out for delivery on the 23rd and I’ve still not received my order. I’ve emailed twice for an update as tracking won’t update. They’ve updated their auto reply email but can’t actually reply to me.

I did not receive my order and I…

I did not receive my order and I ordered in good time for Christmas 2025. I chased my order on many occasions. The only response I received was 19/12/25 to tell me my order was to be delivered the following Monday. Nothing. I had to raise a dispute with PayPal to have my refund of goods never received. The phone lines for American Candy Co, will tell you they are busy in their warehouse and any contact is unsuccessful. Stay away from this company at all costs.

Only half arrived

Delivery took weeks, then only half of the items actually arrived. It looks like I'm lucky to have had anything arrive judging by reviews! Emailed several times about missing items and no response

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE.

YOU WILL RECEIVE NO CONFIRMATION EMAIL NOR WILL YOU GET A REPLY FROM ANYONE WITHIN THIS SO CALLED “COMPANY”.

EMAILED 7 TIMES OVER THE WEEK AND NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE.

DELIVERY ADDRESS WAS INCORRECT UPON ORDERING AND WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE THROUGH THIS DISASTER OF A COMPANY.

USES ROYAL MAIL FOR DELIVERY AND EVEN AFTER CHANGING DELIVERY ADDRESS WITHIN THE APP, THE ORDER WAS LEFT SOMEWHERE BEHIND A BIN.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT.

Giving a zero would be too much

Giving a zero would be too much. Shocking company with horrific customer service. They delivered 3 weeks late with half the stuff missing. Didn’t bother to refund me the missing items, I emailed and got a bounce back. Avoid at all costs
