I placed a temperature-sensitive order through the store, and followed the options they recommended for best delivery. When I received my items, they were warmer than room temperature and therefore inedible. I reached out multiple times via email, only getting terse, scripted replies. I then tracked down a customer service number and the agent initially suggested I simply disregard the refrigeration requirement and go ahead and eat it... which, from a food safety standpoint, is the worst possible advice. The store should have sent replacements at no additional charge. Instead, they then instructed me to place an additional order ($16) and pay for overnight shipping ($90). I was fed up at this point and am working with my State's Attorney for fraud and negligence.
I was looking for a specific item (clotted cream) that is hard to find. I thought I'd discovered a gem in this store, until everything turned into a nightmare. They do *not* care about customer satisfaction or even adhering to their own Terms.
I will never shop here again.
Avoid at all costs.
