“Was looking forward to my first order it arrived within 2 days . Was disappointed with most of my order as more than a few items were pound shop stuff or to the lesser of a pound. Brought e45 and that does seem a bargain. Ordered 2 candles for £7. They are tiny. My fault maybe for not checking sizes.. it seems if there really is a too good to be true bargain then the customer is limited to only being able to purchase the one! I don't get that if delivery is 5.99.. if it was free delivery I would maybe understand”

“The delivery price is to high. You need to order quite a lot to be able to actually buy it and that's not saving money really”

“You mis-sold a bottle of whisky on your website. I bought a distillers edition Lagavulin based on the picture and description. This is not what I received, instead I received a 16 year old whisky. I expect to receive what I order. If you are going to substitute a purchase you could have asked. I really like approved food but this has made me question your service. I would like my money back on this order. Please get in touch on”

“Shocking service. placed 2 x orders, selected to pick them up myself but they are only open office hours so I cannot actually get to pick them up when they are open. I have left several voicemail messages and had one returned call. I was promised an e-mail would be sent to make alternative delivery arrangements. I am still waiting for the e-mail and have left more voicemails and still waiting for call backs! it is over a week now and I am still waiting for my orders!!!”

“Sadly the box is damaged and re taped up. On opening the box there is dried mud, lots of it! And many boxes look water damaged. Very poor. I have emailed and called approved food and await a response. I'd like to add that I have ordered before and never had a problem.”

“Delivery was long but probably due to bank holiday. It took 7 days. I had no notification that it would be delivered today so I didn't stay home and had to make an extra trip out with the kids to the post office. Love the prices but a bit inconvenient.”

Good morning Miss Turnt, I can see that your order was dispatched from us on Wednesday 12th April, due to the Easter bank holiday weekend your order is out for delivery today with an ETA of 15:05-16:05. We closed on Thursday on 5pm and did not return to work until Tuesday morning which is why you may not have received a reply to your query. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Jennie
