Outstanding customer service.

Having ordered some products from Adara Sweet Co. over the last number of my months. I have to commend their excellent customer service standards, I will definitely be ordering more from them in the future and would highly recommend their services!

Unprofessional company

Have ordered from sweetco a couple of times, second time will be the last.

Received order but one of the plastic sweet tubs were smashed (so most of the contents fell out), there was no damage to the cardbord box so would indicate it was sent broken, shards of plastic and children do not mix.

Seriously bad, unprofesional company.

This review was written as they have ignored two emails and one contact via their website.

Update to reply:

First: you did not 'miss' that email (it was three emails that you managed to miss, so yes unprofessional)

Second: Totally agree, the box was very well packed (which is why I had stated it was sent broken), or maybe the courier opened the box took out a tub then stood on it and put it back in the box and carefully taped it back up!!!!

Third: Nice and professional again, attempt to try and push the blame to the customer 'it's a pity you did not feel the need ring us re this, as it could have been sorted out' because three emails is just not enough?

Again your blatant unprofessional disrespect for a customer is why the review was written

2nd Update:

With all due respect, you have no choice but to stand by and accept what has been stated regardless of how hard you work (knowingly or unknowingly the trurth as a matter of fact as previously stated is that the cardboard box arrived undamaged with no dents, impact marks, holes etc. a single tub of the seven tubs in that box was broken as proven by the image sent to you which you acknowledge receiving).

What's with the condescending attitude 'anybody in business will tell you the same as do the customers' for your information this is not my first online order and am fully aware of what can happen when items are not protected properly during shipping.

Again 'You may think we ignored your email', read this word by word, it was NOT one email, it was two direct emails (of which I have proof) and one via website contact form, so obviously it can only seem like my emails were ignored.

Funny how you went looking under the order id as it wasn't provided with this review (must be a magical power condescending busineess people possess), use the refunded amount towards a customer service course.

Robert, every item we send out is extremely well packed and all boxes marked fragile, however, we have no control over how the couriers handle boxes which is extremely frustrating if damages occur. Apologies as we have seemed to missed you email, however, we do not ignore emails!, it's a pity you did not feel the need ring us re this, as it could have been sorted out. As a small family business, we work around the clock in providing a very professional service and try to meet our customers needs in every way. The transportation of items is a matter we bring to the attention of the courier company involved.

Robert, with all due respect, we take this matter very seriously and we work too hard to stand by and allow anyone to imply we would knowingly or unknowingly send out a broken tub. We send out alot of these tubs and yes on occasion, damages happen, even though they are packed extremely well, boxes get roughly handled and heavy items can be placed on top pressing down on the items, anybody in business will tell you the same as do the customers, it's not a blame game but it is an issue. You may think we ignored your email, again we didn't, it did get overlooked, however, only found one email with attached image? when went looking under your order id. We can do either a replacement tub or refund?

My order was cancelled after waiting a month, so not impressed

Update to the response I received I actually placed the order on 30th December, however no matter about timeline, your response hasn't impressed me at all, no apologie offered at all, I know well about Brexit, and your options in resolving custom to the UK should maybe be considered

You made the order on new years day, we re-opened on the 4th, and refunded your order you on the 15th, so not a month. We had to cancel as the product you ordered had short dates & there was no more available with better dates but more importantly was due to the fallout from brexit, our existing courier service to the UK had stopped shipping perishable goods which we like many, many other companies were not aware of until goods were returned so there was no way the order could have been shipped at that stage which was as direct result of brexit complications. We have to look for alternatives shipping companies. I think most understand that Brexit has caused massive upheaval for both companies in Ireland and the UK.
We are sorry you feel this way, however, we explained in our email of the 15th why we had to refund your order. As most people are aware businesses big and small are suffering the fallout of brexit at the moment.

Really lovely Irish company

Really lovely Irish company! Have ordered a couple of times with no issues, very pleasant and quick delivery - what more could you want! Great to support Irish in our covid times. Highly recommend Ardara, a great selection of sweets and treats and they're by far the cheapest around! Thanks guys ☺️

Nearly out of date

Sent me all their nearly out of date stock

Ordered crisps which were out of date in 6 days, ordered pretzels which were out of date in two weeks. Ordered a bunch of chocolate, all out of the between Feb-April. Really disappointing for products with such a long shelf life

Hi Kevin, very disappointed with your review. I note that you ordered on the 10th Jan sent out on the 12th and you received today the 13th, it's a pity that your first point of call a few hours after receiving your order is this forum and not ourselves. Crisps do not have long shelf life in most cases and we could have refunded you the €4.00 for the 2x 6pack crisps if you had contacted us today. Your order of single multipacks was assumed to be for immediate consumption and all the products are in date. If you required longer dates bbe dates, perhaps you could have let us know when placing the order. We stock a large range of chocolate products, all of which have varying bbe dates, April 2021 is a pretty good date and you needed a better dated, we would have tried to accommodate this.

Excellent service! Couldn't believe how fast my friend got her hamper even during the pandemic with other delivery services being delayed. Their customer service is great and when I made an error with my order it was quickly fixed with their help and speedy replies. Great to support an irish company!
