Box Is Smaller Than Expected
The chocolate tastes great and looks nice. Packaging was good, but the coolant was warm on arrival. If it had been summer, the chocolate probably wouldโve melted. Also, the box was much smaller than expectedโthe product photos are misleading. Overall, itโs very expensive, and thereโs no real benefit to importing it to Saudi Arabia.
Bad Customer Service
The chocolates tasted good, but the โdouble orderโ claim was misleading. I expected twice the Z chocolates, but instead got random bars to make up the weight. I was also told all fees were covered, but I had to pay over $30 on delivery. Luckily, I had them sent to my house and not my parentsโ, who were supposed to get the gift. I contacted customer service twice with proof, but never got a response. I donโt plan to order again.
All Good But Incomplete Order
The chocolates were excellentโgreat quality and delivered quickly, thank you. But the extra lock my partner ordered wasnโt included. That really ruined the moment. We were on a video call, unboxing everything together for Valentineโs Day, and the whole idea was for me to guess the code to open the lock. It just wasnโt there.
Misleading Product Size
I find the way you display your chocolates misleading. The size of the boxes I received was much smaller than I expected. I was anticipating a standard-sized "box of chocolates" based on the images on your website. Your product is priced as premium, but the actual size didnโt match the expectations set by your online images. It felt like a bait-and-switch tactic.
Gift Arrived Damaged
I sent a box of chocolates as a gift, hoping to make a great impression. The chocolates themselves are excellent and the presentation inside the box was clearly well done. Unfortunately, the package arrived at my friendโs place crushed and partly opened. She said everything inside was intact, but the damaged box really ruined the overall impact I was going for.
Be cautious if you're thinking of shipping anything from ZChocolat to India. I paid $50 for a box of chocolates, but after paying duties and additional fees, the total cost ended up being $120. The issue is that the company didnโt provide clear information about the extra charges Iโd be facing. Instead, they included a vague disclaimer, probably knowing it would be expensive. Had I known about these additional costs upfront, I never would have gone through with it. I really canโt believe that a company that advertises shipping to India isnโt aware that customers end up paying more in shipping and duties than the chocolates themselves are worth. If youโre sending to India, I strongly recommend thinking twice. A $50 box can end up costing $120 just to get into the country, and the company shouldโve been more transparent about this. Unfortunately, they had no incentive to be upfront, as I imagine few would order if they knew the full cost ahead of time.
Not Worth the Price
I just received the zchocolate I ordered as a gift, and Iโm honestly shocked at how small everything is. The box is smaller than my hand, and each chocolate is about half a bite. After paying for shipping and surcharges, it came to $80 for this tiny box. I got 30 chocolates as part of their holiday promotion, but even with that deal, it still doesnโt feel worth the cost. Iโve bought chocolates from all over the world and have no problem paying more for high quality, but this is almost laughable. If you're expecting a normal-sized box of chocolates, as most would for this price, Iโd recommend looking elsewhere. Definitely not worth the price, and honestly, Iโm embarrassed to give this as a gift.
Unreliable Delivery for Special Occasions
I ordered chocolate as a gift for a special occasion two weeks ago, and the package was supposed to be delivered three days ago. However, as of today, it still hasnโt arrived, and my occasion is today, which is extremely embarrassing. It looks like it will take another two days to deliver! I would not rely on themโthey are not dependable for special occasions.
