So glad I didn't read the reviews…

So glad I didn't read the reviews first!! I ordered on Sunday received my order today delivered by APC ( ordered under their trading name bulk wholesale sweets) order correct, packaged well, great value will definitely buy from them again.
One small issue, APC sent me a text Monday evening to say delivery would be Tuesday, as mentioned order arrived today.

They really don’t care about their…

They really don’t care about their customer service. We are a small sweet shop in Sunninghill and have used them regularly for large orders. They have sent chocolate stock that has fused together in a delivery and they said it’s in their terms and conditions that they don’t compensate. They have sent out of date stock that was out of date before I made the order and they refused to compensate for the stock. When I said I would stop using them as a result they couldn’t even be bothered to reply. AVOID THIS COMPANY

After using another large sweet company…

After using another large sweet company for our deliveries, we decided to swap to Appleton Sweets and see if they were any better. I've now used them three times for good sized orders and each time we have received our orders swiftly, packaged very well and all in excellent condition, with good best before dates on. Will continue to use Appleton Sweets now as our go to supplier. This company is based in London and we're based in North Wales, and each order has consistently arrived undamaged; just superb.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Appletons, trading as Bulk Wholesales Sweets provided a photo confirming they delivered to the wrong address, then insist that they investigate further for 6 days before considering putting it right. Its not the first time. Reece, Ricky & Jamie, must do better.

No Sweets No Customer Service

V disappointing that chat is prefered method of contact by company but they don’t respond. DPD have lost my order but will only deal with the sender as the contact is with them.. even though I have paid for delivery myself. Now sent multiple chat messages and two emails and still no response and order is clearly lost by carriers who are known to be cheap and provide service of buffoons.

Appalled at this customer service

Appalled at this customer service. Two of my sweet packets arrived opened with product all over the box. Has taken 3 days (after multiple phone calls, emails and messages) to be given a refund and told that I have to re-order the products and pay for the delivery again. Terrible.
