Very good stuff. The real value isn't always obvious with some products such as the shampoos until you use them in comparison to other apparently cheaper, but poorer value, products. The beers are wi... See more

Great Choice

Easy to navigate around the website which has lovely items to choose from. I bought a gift voucher as a raffle prize and I know the recipient will enjoy choosing their own gift x

Dreadful experience

I had a dreadful experience with this company. I ordered several Christmas gifts for our company's clients from them. Thankfully I only ordered a small proportion to test them as a new supplier. The gifts never arrived, despite constant chasing from me.

When I did contact them to clarify when delivery would happen I recieved conflicting messages each day about the status of the orders and when they would be dispatched. Each time I was promised a next day dispatch, which never happened.

Ultimately I did receive a refund but, as a company that advertised itself as a supplier of corporate Christmas gifts, the service was unacceptable. This is a shame as the ethical concept is a good one.

Proceed with caution if you order from here and don't order anything that you need by a specific deadline.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologise for the issues you experienced with your order, and we understand how frustrating it can be when there are inconsistent responses to your customer service request.

We recently onboarded a new fulfilment partner, which unfortunately resulted in temporary operational issues that affected our service levels. At the same time we found ourselves understaffed during our peak season, which led to the issues you faced. We know this is no excuse and acknowledge that this fell short of the experience we strive to provide for our customers.

These issues have now been resolved, and we are taking several steps to ensure it is unable to happen again. Thanks again for your feedback and if you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

All the best,
Matt

Definately not sustainable or environmentally friendly

Excessive packaging for a sustainability advocate. Poor communication regaining despatch of order from suppliers and loads of items out of stock. Excessive postage and packaging costs

Hi Lee,

Apologies for the poor communication regarding the dispatch of your order. We recently onboarded a new fulfilment partner, which unfortunately resulted in temporary operational issues that affected our service levels. At the same time we found ourselves understaffed during our peak season, which led to the issues you faced. We know this is no excuse and acknowledge that this fell short of the experience we strive to provide for our customers in this instance.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the sustainability of the products and excessive packaging. In terms of packaging we work hard to try and find ways to make the packaging as sustainable as possible, however this also needs to be balanced against the need to adequately protect products in transit.

In terms of sustainability more generally, we work with the most sustainable and socially impactful brands we can find, however we acknowledge there is always more work to be done.

All the best,
Matt

Received a gift hamper from work and absolutely loved it. Took a moment to read the story behind the vision and thought deserves some recognition. Well done to the three founders! Doing a fab job for the community as well as having wider social impact.

Great service, but take the product description with a pinch of salt!

We ordered the mixed case of 12 toast bottles - arrived quickly and we were happy but the number of different types of beer weren't as advertised (6 lagers and 2 of each of the ales) we were hoping to split the case between our Dads for Fathers Day (one who likes lager, one who likes ale) so we had to rethink that plan when it arrived and there were only 3 lagers, but other than that everything was great.

Great service

Great service. The only issue I had was they contacted me asking a question and that email went to my junk folder, so that might have delayed dispatch a bit. But that aside, communication was good and dispatch was prompt once I'd responded. Good packaging - nothing unnecessary and well presented.

Great products & great service

Great products & great service! I sent a gift box to my friend - easy to order and then the team were in touch the same day to check if I wanted to add a personalised message & to let me know what was happening with delivery. Arrived at my friend's place within a few days and she was really happy with the delicious, social enterprise products inside :)
