Delivery company lets them down

The service and support is brilliant, sadly the delivery company you use is having an impact on your company. The DPD delivery driver is very rude and unhelpful.

Easy shopping Expensive delivery

Everything really good apart from delivery charge. Starting at £10-99 is a bit excessive & it only gets more expensive??

Not been in fir a while but I'll never go back to Sheffield branch ever again

Not been for a while since we've moved, went to Sheffield yesterday to buy s bag of walkers toffee, the number we used for nearly 10 years didn't work. Whoever it was who served me was so rude towards me, none of the older staff were in and he's clearly new. When I walked in, he looked at me as if I was a piece of dog crap. He's been like that with me how many others has he been like this with!!!!!!!

I love the company

I love the company, love the choice of sweets, I would honestly give a 5 star if not for one constant issue, when I order tub sweets, most often you get a couple that are damaged, may not be you, its the courier your using. I know you do your best to protect goods, but the courier must throw them boxes about. I dont bother ringing, cause I cant be bothered with the hassle of sending back.
