Recent purchase fraught with issues

Recent purchase fraught with issues:
- Delivery service missed the delivery window by several hours resulting in defrosted product.
- Free gift as an incentive for spending £150+ not included in the delivery.
- After confirming that this would be rectified over the phone, I received neither the partial refund for defrosted product, or the voucher to compensate for the lack of the gift until I followed up twice via email.
Really interesting and great products available on this website, but I’ve completely lost faith in their delivery and aftercare should things go wrong. Not the sort of service you’d expect from a website that offers such premium products, and honestly, not worth the risk and time involved in rectifying issues.

Best chorizo on the market

Having eaten in Cafe Andaluz in Glasgow recently, I was impressed not only with my overall experience, but in particular with the quality of their chorizo. By far the best i have ever tasted, such a change from the rubbery supermarket offering.Not expecting to ever find out the source of this product, I asked the restaurant owner who was happy to share. I have since ordered from Basco and what a difference this has made to my one tray oven bake, and my caldo verde soup.

BASCO is now my go to supplier of quality food for special occasions. I had the old cow steaks which were amazing. The whole fillet was so tasty, and the whole suckling pig was beautiful in taste, the best crackling ever, and a culinary spectacle - a complete success.
I’m so glad I found BASCO.
Oh, delivery is great too.

Unbelievably great company

Unbelievably great company! These days most people couldn’t care less about the customer but all about the profit. It’s nice to see a company that holds its values dear. The whole process from the website to delivery reflects that!

Next day order not delivered 3 days later

Usually Basco have been fairly good, but I made an order for fresh food on Monday for next day delivery, and 3 days later I have still not received the parcel. If it has been sent, the food will be spoilt. DPD say they have not received the parcel yet, but Basco have charged my card. Customer service have not responded after I raised this to them yesterday.

Basco's Iberico pig cheeks are…

Basco's Iberico pig cheeks are delicious and have wonderful flavour and texture when slow-cooked, whole Galician fillet is also excellent, four fillet steak family meals out of it and marbled and flavoured to perfection. The range and quality of the Manchego is also a treat, a little membrillo and a good Spanish red hits the spot.

Great service as usual

Great service as usual, been using Basco for years to get all my food I can’t get over here. Takes away some of the homesickness and stress from missing my motherland.

Beautifully marbled premium cuts!

I placed my order to restock my freezer with premium meats, and all the items arrived well packaged and still frozen.
You can tell my simply looking at the products that it's top quality -beautiful cuts with wonderful marbling. The picanha and chuck steak were both fantastic in flavour and cooked to perfection!
As soon as I have room in my freezer again, I shall order again.

They sell quality (and expensive!) products.
So when getting a 3kg product when paying for 3.3kg, I was disappointed.

When contacting them they wrote, "we accept as acceptable a 10% tolerance either way".

Well, then you should have this clearly stated on the product page, currently this is misleading and disappointing.

Edit: they refunded me for the difference.

Excellent service, delivery and goods quality

Seamless buying and delivery process.
The parcel was delivered in 48 h., even with the standard delivery, in perfect conditions.
The meat, suckling lamb, was still perfectly frozen when delivered.
The meat was of excellent quality and true to the quality advertised.
I will used Basco again for sure.

Great products, great service

I have been buying from Basco for a while now and always been very happy with the service. First of all I can buy authentic Spanish produce not readily available at the supermarket with great quality and reasonable prices but it's also important that they offer good service. I put in my latest order in the afternoon, it was dispatched later in the afternoon and arrived next morning. I can be confident about fast delivery and any chilled or frozen products will arrive well packaged and can go straight in my fridge or freezer.
