I placed an order over two weeks before Christmas, they decided to hold the order and never contact me. Hmm. Good thing I checked and resolved the problem. However my family may not got their gifts for Christmas. Fingers crossed they get thier gifts, however I will never ever use this company again. There absolutely disregard for customers is very clear, and my absolute refuseal to do we bussiness with this company is equal.

Horrible Service
December 17, 2020

This company messed up my online order. They sent the free petty fours to my sister and didn't inform me that the order for my brother was in available. When I called customer service, I was told that I should have called my order in. No restitution was offered and the rep hung up on me! I am a long standing customer of 15 plus years, but not any more.

These folks really messed up my Christmas order and were most unhelpful getting it resolved. Ended up doing a charge back on my credit card. My thought is when you see this seller run and don't look back!

Moldy Cheese!
December 16, 2020

I received a gift box for the holidays. The first thing I opened was a stick of cheese and it had green mold growing on it! There aren't any expiration dates on the items so I am a little reluctant to try anything else. I tried for over a week to get through to customer service. I finally got through today just to be told that they couldn't help me because I was not the person who ordered it. I now have to either tell my sweet relative who sent it to me that she has to try to make the complaint or just throw the items away and forget about it.

I ordered 4 items. I received only 3 of the 4 and its no longer available. So they suggested that I get a replacement and said it would be the same price as the one i didn't get. Then my credit card shows that they charged me double than the one I ordered. They didn't just ruin my party plan by failing to send my order that meant something for my party, they charged me double for the item not even as good as the one I ordered. So I told them to cancel. And they said they couldn't because they already had it ready to be shipped. So I would have to return it. I told them I would be out of town and won't be around to receive. Instead of compensating me for my disappointment, since now I won't have the item I had plan for the party, they refused to refund me until I send back the replacement item. So the item would be at my home for 2 weeks while I'm gone. I'm afraid it may not be there when I get back if someone takes it. So it means I'm $#*! out of luck. So this holiday is ruined because I don't have the item I ordered, and I'm charged for the crap they sent that I may not have when I get back. NEVER again I order from them.

Delivery confusion
December 14, 2020

I ordered 4 Christmas breakfast baskets. I asked that they be delivered December 21st. After talking to customer support, that means I want them before that date. Confusing. They are on their way for delivery today in a refrigerated truck. Because the items are Christmas gifts, I should store them in my refrigerator for two weeks. Disappointing..

Ain't what it used to be!
December 11, 2020

We used to order frequently a number of years ago and were quite pleased with the products and service.
This year we received a gift box and what a difference time has made... unfortunately.
The cheese spreads appear to be little more than flavored Velvetta, the quantities are minuscule and the box requirement to refrigerate is laughable. I have little doubt that the contents could outlast the infamous McDonalds French fries without refrigeration.

I received some SC as a gift. I would never tell the sender that I didn't enjoy it, but just one look at the ingredients, and away it went. I was sent the wild game sticks, they actually have a tiny bit of the game that they're labeled for, but mostly it's beef and pork and corn syrup and other fillers. You could actually call them "cancer sticks". I guess they're going by "if you add enough sweetener to it, any crap will taste good".

Bad Delivery Experience
December 9, 2020

I purchased 10 lbs of meats/cheese from Swiss Colony for my Family/Friends this Holiday Season, which came with a complementary tin of chocolates. The package was delivered to the wrong address, and sat outside in the hot Florida sun for 2 days before the homeowner discovered the package and delivered it to me. It was not Swiss Colony's fault (FedEx made the delivery error), and Swiss Colony offered to refund or replace the order. This was going to be a big part of my Holiday giving, but I don't feel comfortable asking Swiss Colony for anything. Swiss Colony should be able to hold FedEx accountable. Having said that, I will not order from Swiss Colony again. It's too risky, and I don't have that kind of money to risk, and have my Holiday ruined.

Never Again
December 8, 2020

Customer service sucks big time and management is very rude! Don't waste your time ordering from this company! They have no clue what good customer service is! I'll take my business elsewhere from now on!

Credit Liars
December 7, 2020

I have been shopping with Swiss Colony for 2 years now last year did not have no problems. Everything was great. So I decided to go with them again for Christmas gifts found out I had over a $1,100 credit and then only ordered about $800 worth of stuff but when I went to check out its stated I need to put half down on it when I didn't even need to last year. Mine and my fiance's credit has went up dramatic! I do not have 400 to just shell out that's why I chose to do the payment plan. I asked them why it's happening now like this and they could not answer me. They have just lost my business because I could have had that paid off within 6 months. I guess go to another platform.

Sent wrong items
December 4, 2020

I ordered sugar free candy. What I got was a meat and cheese tray. I am a super busy woman. I don't have time to return stuff like this. I won't be ordering from them again.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
December 3, 2020

TBT: This company is soo not worth purchasing from. They have lack of professionalism, courtesy as well as service. After speaking with a dismissive Rep. By the name of CRYSTAL I asked for a supervisor name Alisha with no satisfaction. Save yourself the frustration and the humiliation of shopping with this company. They could ALL use an enthusiasm/ CUSTOMER SERVICE training 101.

Never again will I order
November 28, 2020

I have been ordering from Swiss Colony for longer than I can remember. I even got Swiss Colony every year from my dad.
This year I had to cancel one item and its thrown their charges crazy. I'm being charged for the item I canceled months ago, it's Also changing me an amount nobody can figure out where or what its for.
Items that are delivery included credit department says you still have to pay delivery fee.
This will be the last year I order from them.

Avoid at all costs
November 27, 2020

Not the same company they were 25 years ago. My last order was to be sent to North Carolina but ended up in Michigan. Never received and they still charged. Tried and tried to get credit but never could. Customer service is the worst!

What happened?
November 24, 2020

Let me preface this by saying that Swiss Colony used to be a decent company. I used to look forward to getting their products every Christmas. I stopped using them about 7 years ago due to poor customer service, but decided to give them a another chance this year. Big mistake. Huge. Ginormous. I entered my billing information & then entered the address of where the package needed to go & I received an email that says it's going to the billing address. I call the company & am told there's nothing they can do. Is it too expensive to hire quality web designers & service reps? If so, RIP Swiss Colony. I don't see you lasting much longer.

Oddly enough, the little bits if food are tasty. The product is basically miniatures. Their shipping costs are very high. Pricey for what you get. We now buy the same (larger) items from the grocery store, and put our own assortment together for less money.

Swiss Colony reported to the credit bureaus the I had missed 2 payments despite the fact I had paid off the account 2 months prior to when they said I missed the payments. At the time they claim I missed the payments I had a zero balance. I have disputed this with the credit bureaus and Swiss Colony will not admit their mistake. I have request they close my account which they did, but they still report the account as open to the credit bureaus, another lie. This is the worst company and I will never do business with then again.
