Bought on the Thursday

Bought on the Thursday, two 300g bags of biltong, before the next day shipping deadline. One was wet fatty, the other one, wet and normal, as I had bought two weeks previously in your Tunbridge Wells shop,(fresh from the shop was brilliant). Hence why I decided to buy some more, but unable to get to T.W.
Anyway, got the shipping details, looked on the DHL website, nothing! No tracking.
Imagine my panic, where is my expected biltong.
I emailed your customer support, and received a reply back that, it would not be arriving on the Friday, as it should have, but the next day, the Saturday, because there was a delay processing the orders.
My gripe is,twofold,
1. Why did you not write to me saying , Sorry dear customer, there is a slight delay in the shipping process, please accept our apologies as we know you are expecting it to arrive fresh today. Easy, I think and, we can then plan for someone to wait in the next day to meet the DHL driver.
Why was it that I had to contact you?
Think you guys can do better.
I ordered wet, and fatty, from the shop it was fantastic, by post neither wet or fatty. Is this because it was processed earlier?
I will continue to buy your biltong, because I have found it to be the taste that I remember from my time in South Africa.
But can we do better next time please.

Hi Craig, I am very sorry that your order was delayed and not exactly what you expected. To answer your points. 1. Annoyingly DHL failed to collect the orders from us on Thursday evening and so Friday was spent first contacting DHL to arrange for a new collection and Saturday delivery for all the orders and then contacting all the customers who were inconvenienced - more than 30 customers. You were on the list but emailed us before we had a chance to contact you. As you know we also followed up with all the customers on Monday to make sure everything was OK. 2. Was the lack of wet and fattyness. I am very sorry that it wasn't wet and fatty enough, we will do our best to ensure it is in future.

We pride ourselves in the quality of our products and service, which is illustrated by our Trustpilot score, and when things go wrong we bend over backwards to fix them. In this case that included paying extra for Saturday delivery despite it not being our fault that DHL failed to collect the orders.

Absolutely the best biltong in the UK!!! Taste like real South African biltong should be. Also, the staff are always friendly and helpful and orders are delivered promptly! I shop online, very convenient. Been a customer now for a couple of years and won't buy my biltong anywhere else. Thank you Sussex Biltong!!!

Biltong's for a wedding…

I bought for the first time Biltong's for a wedding with a South African groom and everyone was really impress with the quality. But when I made the purchase stating this was for a wedding, they contact me and suggested to rescheduled the delivery in a week time so the Biltongs were serve within 3 days, They also sent me everything that I need to keep them in optimal condition and detailed instructions. That's what I call customer service, thanks team!

Mould in a packet of biltong

Unfortunately one of the packets of Biltong we received had quite a lot of mould in it.

Hi Becca, I am very sorry that you weren't happy with the biltong. Unfortunately it looked like you didn't follow the correct storage instructions which is why our fresh biltong went mouldy after 2 weeks in the bag.

Great Find in Tunbridge Wells

Found myself with a little spare time in Tunbridge Wells today and found this absolute gem, served by a lovely knowledgeable lady … great range of products. I will be back.

Some of the best biltong I’ve ever had

Some of the best biltong I’ve ever had. I love the fact you can choose your preferred type of meat too, as in lean/fat or wet/dry. And those sausages are to die for!
