I was pleased with the efficiency of the service. It was a bit disappointing that the product was only available in one litre size on the website, but came as two 500 ml bottles. I would have bought just one 500 ml if that had been available.

Hi Kathryn, we're so sorry that the size of the product is incorrect on the website. This has been flagged to our production department and it'll be corrected as soon as possible. Thank you for letting us know, and apologies for the confusion. If you'd like to send one of the 500ml bottles back, we'd be more than happy to refund it for you.

Helpful staff

One of the tinctures was not in stock. I was notified by email after restock, and that was helpful. I needed an additional tincture after placing the order, and the staff allowed me to amend it on the phone. Again, very helpful. All the tinctures have about 3 yrs before the BBE date. Over the last 10 yrs there has been a sizeable expansion in the range of herbs stocked.

Many thanks for your positive review Maud, and we're really glad that you're finding ordering the smaller quantities helpful. We're sorry though about the out of stock issue. Unfortunately, levels of stock can depend on seasonality, supplier availability and also the fact that it's dynamic, in that it's hard to predict and forecast how much of and how quickly our products will sell. However, we will endeavour to ensure we have as many products in stock as possible. Thank you for the feedback.

The low score is really for the delivery. On two occasions recently there was no note that delivery had been made. They delivered to a neighbour who assumed I was aware that I had a delivery and so the parcel was with a very patient neighbour for a week
