Ordering was a very positive experience. Easy to order. Good price. Free delivery. My goods were delivered promptly. I would have given FIVE STARS if DHL's service wasn't so abysmal! Despite editing my address to include "deliver to side door", AND specifying a safe place, DHL completely ignored ALL instructions, and did exactly what I wanted to avoid! 5 or 6 hours ahead of delivery, I received a text from DHL, giving a 1 hour time slot (They were nearly an hour early!) As they threatened to leave my parcel with a neighbour if I wasn't at home, I followed the link in the text to nominate a safe place. Being disabled, and knowing that the delivery items were heavy, I didn't want to have to retrieve from a neighbouring house, and I was at home all day. I ticked the "other" box, and requested that the courier knock at and leave package at the side door! This was received by DHL and confirmed, BUT DHL decided to leave the very heavy boxes on the step in front of my FRONT DOOR. This was a health and safety issue, as the boxes were left blocking my door. I had NO IDEA that they were there, and it's lucky that they were not stolen, as they were in FULL VIEW of all passers by and traffic. When I received a text, saying that I (my name) had accepted delivery, I was concerned, as I thought that they must have been delivered to the wrong address, but then I saw the photograph, showing the boxes in front of my door. I can't even open the front door, as the lock is jammed. I always use the side door. WHY could they not just have followed the instructions? I spent 45 minutes STRUGGLING to unpack my items, one handed, supporting myself with my stick, and IN FULL VIEW of anyone passing, and then having to bring each individual item back around the house to my side door, in order to bring them indoors. This was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY! All DHL had to do was READ my address and my instructions. I was in agony for the next 4 days. I complained to DHL, but they have completely ignored me! I probably won't order from Mole Online again, and it is solely because of DHL.

The items I purchased were shown as in stock at time of ordering and the delivery information stated that delivery would be 3 - 5 working days. A week after placing the order, I had not received any dispatch confirmation so sent a query asking for an update. Within 24 hours I received an automated mail stating my order had been dispatched with a link to track it. The link didn’t work, so I sent another query asking for a new link. The next day I received a response to my initial query to inform me my order would be dispatched that day! The following day I received a response to my second query about the tracking link which included a tracking number. I then received my order later the same day. Overall, the experience was ok as I received my order and the product is good. However, the delivery and communication to customers isn’t so good. I’ve spoken to other people that have ordered from them online and they’ve stated that they have had similar experiences.

In one word COMMUNICATE. I ordered 2 products on 25/12/23 and haven't seen the delivery or heard from Mole since and it is now the 4/1/2024. Neither have I been given a tracking reference.

I am reluctant to order again as I am not sure the order will be fulfilled…

I ordered several products online which as far as I was aware were in stock. I was aware that there had been a system problem the previous week but believed it to have been rectified. I received a message from DHL approx 6 days after the order to advise the order was out for delivery. I subsequently received half the order with horse feed outstanding. I waited a further 2 days hoping Mole Valley would inform me when I will receive the feed, they did NOT contact me. I made several calls to the number I had on the order who advise me on both occasions they would call me back with information, this did not not happen. On the 3rd call I insisted that I needed an immediate response as I couldn't be without feed and I had a reply later advising me they were out of stock of the feed I ordered. I received a refund and had to source elsewhere. I am reluctant to order from them again as I am not sure if my order will be fulfilled.

I have ordered dog food on three occasions. First time was supper fast, great. Second order took three weeks and various emails and calls before it was even sent out, but got it in the end. I ordered the same item again ten days ago , I have the invoice but I have not heard anything despite sending two emails. I tried calling five times yesterday to be pushed to an answer phone that you could only leave a three ,second message on so no use at all. I evidentially found yet another number and a lady answered to say yes they have had problems but everything should have been back to normal yesterday, still no call or any update for the order is on it's way, 24hrs later still nothing. What ever the computer issue is I hop my payment etc details are safe.

I recently ordered an item for Christmas but did not receive an email confirming dispatch. On phoning, one of your staff investigated and phoned me back to inform me that the product was out of stock but had been left up on the site, resulting in further orders that could not be fulfilled. Not impressed The site is a major improvement on your previous website but it needs to be maintained to be customer friendly. Leaving non stock up is pointless. However your colleague was very helpful and efficient. She understood my query, investigated and responded quickly; needs a pay rise!

I placed an order for dog food on the 24-4-23. Today is the 5-5-23 and still no sign of my order, I sent a mail asking where if the order on the 1-5-23 but Eleven days later I haven't even had a it's on it's way. It's Friday bank Holiday weekend so it's going to be at least another three to Four days before I hopefully get anything. I will now have to go and buy some other Dog food that my fussy feeder Dog possibly won't eat which defeats ordering in the first place. I have ordered from here in the past and have had very good service, but not so good this time

Ordered a Christmas gift, that was due to be delivered 3-5 working days later. A week later I had received nothing so decided to make contact with them at that point and find out. I was informed that the item was now out of stock, so my order was cancelled on my request. I now have to make a special trip to a shop to buy a replacement on the high street, when I could have ordered it cheaper from another online shop a week ago. Two stars because they did reply quickly to my enquiry and were apologetic.

I had to order 2 x 7.5 kilo bags of MV layers pellets instead of 1. This cost me more. I phoned customer services at MVHQ and the assistant couldn't tell me when they were having more. I then had to wait 9 days for delivery instead a maximum of 5. I am not a happy customer of MV, since late 70s early 80s.

Slow Delivery

Delivery at order was quoted as 3-5 working days, it's now working day 7 and the order still isn't here. DHL logs show it was picked up from supplier on working day 6. Just received a DHL email on day 7 saying it's at their facility but also showing as delayed.

Service not good this time!

Usually really good service but this time main/urgent item needed out of stock not told until rest of order dispatched even though I checked the day before and told all was OK. Had to make a 26mile round trip to get the dog food needed. Not impressed.

I ordered 2 bags of premium wild bird food last week and it didn’t arrive! The carrier was Tufnells and the excuse given was that the bags were split. They changed the carrier to DHL and hopefully it will arrive today-I live in hopes!

Second time I've ordered and second time that my order hasn't turned up. I've emailed and had no reply- I have no idea if or when my order will turn up and I'm running very low on food again. Just not reliable I'm afraid.

The lack of delivery information, the time to deliver, the lack of detail from DHL and delivered in parts. This has been the most poorly informed delivery I have had and cannot understand why it has taken so long.
