Incorrect delivery, appalling service. No refund despite one being promised. Beware.
Incorrect delivery, appalling service. No refund despite one being promised. Beware.
The Healthy Hampers website shouts ‘free delivery’.
We ordered and paid for on 30 January 2026 - eight (8) packets of HUNTERS SMOKEHOUSE BBQ Chips. There was a $14.95 delivery charge included. This delivery cost seemed excessive for 8 packets of crisps but we decided to purchase anyway.
The courier delivered - on 2 February 2026) - eight (8) packets of Black Truffle chips.
We did not order black truffle flavour. We do not like Black Truffle flavour. We will not eat Black Truffle chips.
We sent multiple emails to Healthy Hampers advising the problem. No response.
We phoned a phone number provided and eventually reached a fellow named Mervyn. He apologised and said there were complications between the importer, the warehouse, Healthy Hampers itself and the courier. He said we’d receive an email report and he’d look into a redelivery and the pick up of the incorrect packets. We emailed our report again.
But no reply email came back.
We phoned again. Six times before the phone was answered. Mervyn said he was working on the problem. I stated that the issue concerned 8 packets of chips and should not be that difficult to sort out. He said he’d get right onto it and call back with a solution within half an hour. Two hours later he had not called back.
We called again. Five times. Mervyn said he was struggling to arrange redelivery. He offered a full refund and said he’d email the correct department who would in turn email us confirmation of the refund.
Two days later, no email had arrived. And no refund had appeared in our account.
We phoned Mervyn again. He told us he’d reported the matter to the department that dealt with refunds and he’d chase them up and get back to us.
We said fine but that our patience was running out and - unless we received either a correct redelivery or a refund - that we’d consider placing reviews on TrustPilot, Google and the Facebook and Instagram pages of Hunter’s Chips (UAE), Healthy Hampers and Tastebuds (from which our order was despatched).
No reply from Mervyn. So we called the Healthy Hampers number again. And again. We finally spoke with a Brian. He did not know about our matter. And he had never heard of Mervyn. So we explained again.
Brian said we’d hear back within the day from the refund team.
Surprise surprise. Nobody replied.
But then on 5 February we received an email from ‘Ani' at Healthy Hampers. Confirming that a refund was in order and that we’d be sent a packing label to put on the consignment for pick up.
Nothing happened.
On 19 February we received another email from Ani stating that our last email had gone to junk and reconfirming the refund was in order and asking us to reconfirm that we wanted the refund.
So I reconfirmed.
Nothing happened. So I emailed Ani again and called Mervyn again (7 calls to get through) to reconfirm that we wanted the refund.
Nothing happened.
We have to conclude that Healthy Hampers, Mervyn, Brian and Ani are useless.
So we decided we would get some value out of reviewing Hunter’s, Healthy Hampers and Tastebuds on Google and facebook.
BUYER BEWARE: wrong delivery, multiple excuses, no redelivery and no refund. AVOID AVOID AVOID
