Our reply: "Thanks John, your very kind comments are much appreciated. However, it wasn't an ad you heard on Big L radio, they just wanted to do a chocolate related interview for Easter, I sent them some chocolates to try and Mike Read liked them so much he just kept going all day, which was great for us but didn't cost us a penny. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you on our site again soon."

So thanks again, I will definitely recommend you. Thanks"

Claire Coles, Kent, UK

Deanna Hudson, Cambridgeshire, UK

  • "Just thought you would like to know that I found your web site just fascinating.  I am a school Governor of our local Junior school and for my 'sins' I often go into school to do one off days with the children and as tomorrow is one of those days and we are making Christmas chocolate shapes I thought it would be interesting for them to also learn about the start of chocolate.  So I Googled 'History of Chocolate' and it came up with your site.  First rate I have extracted two sets of information from this to give the children an insight into the origins of chocolate. I am about to order some of your chocolates for the class teacher as a special treat. Many thanks once again for such a super website."

Thanks once again. Karen

  • "You guys are amazing. The timing was awesome. My girlfriend was really happy with the chocolates, and surprised too!!!"

    Thanks.

Valerie L, Scamander, Tasmania.

  • "This is just to let you know how thrilled our (UK) relatives were with their Easter Gifts of chocolates from your business. Not only did the chocolates look and taste delicious but the presentation was fantastic and the packaging very sturdy which allowed the product to arrive in pristine condition. We also think the inclusive standard postage is a great idea.

    I found your website through a Google UK search of "Easter Gifts". Your site is really excellent - colourful, informative, easy to use. I hoped that the goods would be as classy, and indeed they were. It is always "dicey" ordering gifts from the Internet.
     
    It is also very pleasing to know that quality and good service still exist. Thank you again.
      
    Kind Regards, Valerie L."

Julia S, Swindon, Wiltshire, UK

  • "I just want to thank you for the Delivery of the Easter egg I ordered which arrived yesterday.  It was packed fantastic and as far as I can see arrived all in one piece.  The extra touches like the printed card and the information about the chocolate adds an extra touch. THANK YOU :o) What a great surprise for my boyfriend for Easter!!!  That’s if my office and I don’t eat it first!!  

    A massive thank you."

Jacky, NSW, Australia

    we got rapturous thanks from Mum! Best chocolates she's ever had!"

    Again thank you for your wonderful customer service and fabulous product."

Barbara P (Vitesse PLC), London, UK. 

  • "Thank you for the chocolates – they look better real than on your websites.  It is wrapped up beautifully and I love our little calling card.  We will definitely be ordering lots more from you next Christmas.  We usually send out wine to our customers and some chocolates.  But I think next year we should just send out these beautiful chocolates."

    I am writing to thank you very much for dealing so promptly and effectively
    with the delivery problem that my mother experienced with her chocolates.  She was very pleased and impressed with the way that the problem was handled and with the courtesy and concerned expressed by Aphrodite.

    I was also really pleased at the way in which the problem was handled and
    will certainly be back to use Aphrodite for my future chocolate orders.  Next time I will try to leave more lead time and use your guaranteed next day delivery service!

    Once again, many thanks for sorting out this problem,

    My very best wishes, Tim B.

A word of explanation is in order for this one, customer ordered chocolates for her mothers birthday, dad was the only one home when they were delivered, hid them in a cupboard and promptly forgot about them. Daughter contacted us to complain about non-delivery and I think the rest is self explanatory...
