Over the past year, the quality of their customer service has declined significantly. Phone…read moreinteractions are abrupt and unprofessional, and on multiple occasions calls were disconnected before my questions were addressed. The most recent interaction the women who answered the phone had a very nasty unprofessional attitude. This can be extremely dishearten if you are in crisis. It creates the impression that customers are an inconvenience rather than a priority. In addition, their selection of 12-step program literature has become extremely limited. Materials that were once consistently available are now difficult to find, which is particularly disappointing for those who depend on these resources. Overall, the level of service and support no longer reflects the standards they once maintained. Based on my recent experiences, I cannot recommend this business and would suggest looking elsewhere for more reliable assistance and access to materials.

I live in Europe, so a $79.14 order costs me over $155 with shipping and tariffs. As for the price, it comes with the territory - literally - but when the delivery process is so screwed up, and I wind up having to make calls and write emails and letters to receive my order, it's not worth it. As I told Kara, UPS screw-ups are not their fault, but the partners with whom a merchant chooses to work are their responsibility. D & C's mail server weeded out the very civil complaint I wrote, so I was forced to send a letter if I wanted to be heard. I wish them well, but I'm heading back to Smythson's.

So, I gave in and placed a delivery order from the Upper Eastside store. I chose the Autumn mix because well, it is fall! The packaging was very cute and was a nice presentation. I also thought the thank you note added a lovely touch. Now, let's get down to the candy! One candy that I see in video reviews (not sure other their name, but they look like skulls) where not in my order. That was a bit of a disappointment. I figure once I go in person, I will try them. I had a really nice mix of both sour and sweet candies. I really enjoyed them. I received some of those soft candies and they were good but, not amazing. I am not a fan of black licorice. There were several types in my bag. That was the major negative about not being able to choose the candy myself. The quantity of candy was larger than I expected.. A yummy experience.
