5 Star brand, 2 Star service 2 months ago I order a hamper as a thank you gift for my friends and selected a named day delivery because of my and their travel plans. F&M failed to meet this, failed to contact me and failed to resolve the issue when I brought it to their attention. Instead F&M lied to me, offered pitiful tokens of apology and took up half my afternoon because of a customer service process that just isn’t fit for purpose. If you want a reliable dependable service, look elsewhere. When I emailed the customer service address given with the order, I got an automated response that it was no longer in service and to use whatsapp instead. The whatsapp service took over 3 hours without any resolution. First a chatbot could not provide details, then after a 2 hour wait a agent contacted me to ask me to reconfirm the details and verify my identity. This agent just gave overly sweet false platitudes, lied that the shipment had already been shipped and offered £10 for the inconvenience. 2 months of advance notice wasted, 3 hours of my time wasted and F&Ms solution is to lie to me, give me a £10 voucher, keep its profit, not express the delivery, just plod along as it pleases. Woeful! Moral of the story F&M are unreliable and when it makes a mistake it does not take responsibility to resolve the issue. Instead it lies, gives false platitudes about caring and escalation the issue. All to maximise its profit even when it fails to meet the service it was paid to provide.

Thought I'd give F&M one more try after a disastrous experience with their web ordering in August. What a fool I was! Latest tale of incompetence saw me order a few items which at the time of ordering were promised for nominated day delivery on 29/11, at extra cost, but still haven't even been despatched four days later. The email address shown on the order confirmation for order update follow up doesn't work and instead the customer receives a bounce-back email and is asked to contact the business through WhatsApp. On this had to give my name, and email address, on two occasions as the person on the other end couldn't be bothered to read further up the message and joy of all joys it now takes between 3-5 business days to get a full refund on the order which was obviously cancelled so I could instead purchase the items elsewhere. Utterly chronic service and, dare I say it, an utter joke for a premium brand such as F&M. The senior management team at F&M demonstrate complete arrogance in their approach to online orders and I shall never waste my time again within this awful brand. Buyer Beware - again!

Ordered items for a memorial tea did not arrive on the day specified spoiled the planned day as it had to be cancelled. Three phone calls later eventually arrived days late. Customer service was good, blamed DPD delivery service saying they always have problems with them. Shame they use this company who has a poor reputation and discredits Fortnum and Masons’s reputation. Will never order from Fortnum and Mason again while they use DPD many bad experiences with them as they are not reliable in my opinion.

Ordered hamper & chose standard delivery 3-5 days. Order confirmation came through with a date of over a months time. Contacted customer service who offered me the option to pay additional £4 for next day delivery. Paid but hamper not delivered the next day… or the day after. Had to email and call customer service who now assure me delivery will be tomorrow… I very much hope so but not confident .

Cant beleive it, ive wanted a F&M hamper for 40 myears, kept forgetting etc and then when lock down had shut my holiday business and I did not qualify for the self employment loan, I stuggled, to cheer myself up, I ordered a Hamper, I want the wicker for future picnics etc and I was initially pleased, I loved the little cookies, the pickle, marmalade and black current jam are in very small jars, I dont often drink I thought as I was cooking some thing that needed white wine I would open the bottle of Vinhao Verdi White wine, Errr I could not take a secound sip, it would be an insult to vinegar if I compared it, who on earth chose that, I could not drink it, so put some in the chicken fricasse it ruined that and I can clean the drains with the rest, I will still buy the hampers as I love the style and romance, but please do something for me as its unacceptable, regards kerry

I echo some of the other recent reviews. I have used F&M for a few years without complaint but this year one of my orders was placed on 2 December for delivery on 17th. I discovered on 20th that it had not been despatched. No prior contact and on enquiry I get a "Dear Sir/Madam" email, still with no delivery date or explanation. Perhaps "success" has gone to their head. Well complacency does not get my vote.
