“I have sent 2 message to say I still haven’t received my order?”

Hi Heather, Thank you for your email. Sorry that you have not received your delivery. I have looked into this for you and it is showing that it is out for delivery with the couriers today. They estimate that it will be with you between 4:46pm and 6:26pm. I don't know what it hasn't been out for delivery before now as they received it on the 9th November so should have been delivered to you on the 11th November. Then it got scanned back in at the depot and then seems to have been overlooked for some reason. I can only apologise for this. I will make a note on your account that any future deliveries that you have are with a different courier and I have also processed a refund for your shipping as an apology for the delay. Let us know if we can assist you further. Kind regards, Rhianne

“Products are getting poor quality as time is going on. I started my business with Ancient Wisdom 4 years ago and regularly purchased around £1000 a month from them. Now I've moved supplier because a) you are just a number and b) quality is now really poor. Bathbombs dry they crumble when they get to you. Candles crack, soaps cut out if weight, stickers missing printed ... just un sellable items when they come to you.”

“I would have loved to give a glowing review like I saw on this page before I placed an order with Ancient wisdom. Sadly, my experience has been so bad,leaving my small business in with substantial financial loss and no means to recover. I purchased 10 solid solid shampoo bars, and received 2 purple ones and 8 pink one. Then I telephone the company and I was told told that the pink was the new batch but the product was the same. It was surprised by the extreme colour difference but the lady assured me the product was correct. So I went ahead and created 2 products , using slices of of the 8 bars as add on to another product. All the expenses for developing and marketing a product were carefully done - Photography, label designing and printing, copy writing, marketing and more. Finally the 2 products were up for sale. On attempting to order a larger quantity, I was told that the 8 pink bars were sent by mistake, - it was a totally different product. What a blow! The ladies who gave me the wrong information, now pretend they did not and strangely enough, they are the very ones who gave the resolution and offered me £10 pounds compensation - insult upon injury! I feel so badly let down and not knowing how to recover from this blow and find more money to start all over again. I had so much faith in this company, I could never have imagined that such a terrible mistake could be made and handled as if it was a normal occurrence that would not affect their customer's business. Furthermore, they showed no concern all. In fact, they never even expressed any word of apology right from start. Lesson learnt - it does not matter how many good reviews a company is showing on this page, you can never be too careful.”

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our company - it's much appreciated. I understand where you're coming from and like I said in our earlier correspondence, we did all we could to assist in this matter - both my colleagues and myself apologised for the situation and tried to investigate what happened exactly. We also issued you with a full refund for all the stock and advised that you do not need to return it. We appreciate your understanding and patience. I've thoroughly explored all available options, and unfortunately, there's nothing more I can do at the moment. However, I'm here to support you in any other way you may need or answer any questions you have. Kind Regards, Urszula

“Good day. I still haven't received the product I ordered last January 18th. This is the second time I have ordered products from you with the intention of reselling from my company. I have been importing goods from England for 12 years now which only takes 2 to 3 days to reach my hands. I therefore do not understand why I have to pay a much higher shipping fee with you for products that take many times longer to arrive in Iceland.”

Dear customer, We understand and empathize with your frustration. However, it is important to note that we are not responsible for the specific part of the service you mentioned. As you made your purchase through an external website, they are the ones responsible for the shipment of your order. Therefore, this review platform may not be the most appropriate space for expressing your concerns. Additionally, we regret that you did not reach out to us for advice or assistance. Please be aware that in such situations, the external website should have been proactive in contacting you, informing you about the accident, and providing options for either a refund or a replacement of the entire order. Unfortunately, we have no control over their actions as they handle these matters independently. We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you have had. We strongly encourage you to direct your complaint to the website from which you made the purchase. Rest assured, we will also address the issue with them, as the service you received was unsatisfactory and resulted in your dissatisfaction. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we apologize once again for any inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, The AW-Team

Hi Dave, Thank you for your review. I apologise for your experience there. My colleague made a mistake checking your account and thought your order had already been dispatched when you rang to add to it. As soon as she realised her error, she called you back to apologise and check if you still wanted to add to the order. As you mentioned in your review - adding to orders has never been an issue before and we're always happy to help and on this occasion, we made a mistake. Once more many apologies for the inconvenience. Kind Regards, Urszula

“Have traded with AW for a few years now, I am a small business in a small town and have been loyal to them especially throughout the fire when stock/service was poor but understandable. They rewarded me recently by supplying another shop with the EXACT SAME postcode, i.e next door. When I wrote to complain and ask why I received a long email full of repetition and waffle from their Operations Manager, Ms Baka-Wyse which did not address in any way my complaint and dismay at them supplying another business next door to me. Ms Baka- Wyse to check postcodes to ensure that you do not ruin a loyal customers hard work of building up your products is, contrary to your pathetic excuses you wrote to me, very easily done. I have 8 other suppliers who do that as they recognise it is not good for their business either as a price war just cheapens their products, as it has done to your products in this case I can assure you the other business is now selling your bombs/doughnuts/jewels for 50p, check their facebook page,and I can no longer sell the same products for any price. It did not go un-noticed that you did not offer to compensate me for my loss. I have now secured 2 other new suppliers who will supply me with similar products that I used to order from you and who have willingly agreed not to supply anyone else on our high st. Sad that your greed let it come to this. Wish I could have rated you zero stars, you would have deserved it.”

Dear George, First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to write to us and give us your feedback; also thank you for bringing your points to our attention. You highlighted some important matters. Thank you also for giving us the opportunity to address these. We greatly appreciate your custom and your on-going support. Our business continues to exist and develop thanks to businesses like your own. I understand how frustrating it is when you build your business up, find suppliers that provide you with products you feel passionate about and put your heart and soul into stocking and running your shop and then someone comes along and copies your ideas - it is disheartening, especially if it is in such a close proximity. For a long time we were one of the very few suppliers within our field but as time went on more and more came along copying our business model and in our case, as most were selling online as we are, we all found ourselves just a click away from each other. This forced us to search further and offer more to our customers; customers like yourself. We’ve always tried to be as fair as possible and as approachable and helpful as we can in terms of providing a variety of stock and managing our customers’ expectations. For these reasons we treat all our customers with respect and help them as much as we can regardless of how much and how often they order from us – we do not see their spending habits as an indication of how we should treat them – everyone gets the same amount of respect and time from us. One of our company values is generosity of spirit and not to be mean with our time, ideas, energy or kindness and we all subscribe to this. Therefore, I’d like to address the concerns you raised in your letter to us. We’ve never offered exclusivity on supply and this is for many reasons. The main one would be managing and policing this, as well as trying to be objective in deciding who would get to supply what items and in what area. This would not be as simple as googling the distance between businesses that register with us and especially with the development of online selling where businesses list their billing address as their home and then tend to ship items all over the country. We supply all sorts of customers: from pop-ups, market stall holders, online sellers through to shops and larger stores. Some businesses will list their home address as their billing/ delivery address and then take the goods to market stalls or an event or to their shop that we might not even have the address for as they prefer to sort their orders out at home. Some customers will start off small ordering for home and then they will get business premises and not mention it to us – just order and take the goods to their new shop. They also change what they sell depending on the demand in their area or in their online store so this is another point we would not be in a position to influence or question as this would be restricting our customers’ freedom to run their business in the way they see fit. We do not wish to restrict anyone’s potential or creativity in terms of them developing their business and taking it in different directions; neither would we want to do this to yourself – we are not the ones to limit our customers – quite the opposite – we encourage business development and new ideas and we share ours in our weekly newsletters and in the business update emails we send each week as sharing our ideas brings in variety and development into our sector – by ‘our’ I mean yours and ours. I understand that this approach can have its disadvantages in a way that some sellers will use the ideas of others in their stores and I am afraid this is not something we are able to influence as it is dependent on the individual’s business ethics. What we can say here and what we can be proud of is that we would not restrict anyone and limit them in their creativity and approach and we would not want this happening to us. I would like to assure you we strive to be supportive and fair to all our customers and I hope you can appreciate our business approach in this matter. Kindest Regards, Urszula Baka-Wyse AW Operations Manager

“Hello team AW. we have never faced problems before placing our orders but this time. at first, when we placed our order we were denied to ship at Amazon FC address when we told them this is not the first time we are doing this with AW so then we were allowed by the representative to proceed. also when we ask for simple tracking Ids for each box we did not get that straight till yet.”

Hello, Thank you for your message and your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. I am sorry that you've experienced issues with your latest order. I would like to address these issues here for you. Distribution to Amazon FC - as Amazon have quite strict packing and delivery rules and we sell products packed in different ways we tend not to deliver there as we are not always able to follow these rules. This is due to us streamlining the packing processes in our warehouse to maximise efficiency. The reason why we agreed for your orders to be shipped there is that you tend to order the same items that are already packed in carton quantities. As to the tracking ID, our main courier is APC and the tracking for your latest order has been emailed to you upon dispatch and my colleague advised how to use the information provided. They do not provide tracking for each individual box - the tracking is for the whole consignment. I am sorry that you are disappointed on this occasion and I hope the above addresses the issues you experienced with this latest order. If there is anything else I can assist you with please do let me know. Kind Regards, Urszula
