"Brilliant company, brilliant product"

Really loved working with this supplier. Andrew was helpful and patient throughout, listened to what we needed, and produced personalised paper and stickers to a high spec and standard. Great customer care from start to finish.

"TERRIBLE SERVICE!!"

I wish I had paid attention to the 1 star review given by another customer before placing an order through this company! If I could give a zero star review I could!

I placed an order for 500 boxes with embossed printing for our product. We were told they would be well packaged and arrive on a pallet for protection. Paid £7400 up front.

The boxes, each containing 12 of our boxes arrived a few at a time rather than in one delivery on a pallet. This was over a 12 day period meaning I had to take time off work to await deliveries. Many of the external boxes were , damaged and squashed and the contents damaged beyond use. 10 full boxes - 120 of our boxes were totally destroyed. 1 box of 12 went missing and has was not delivered leaving us with 368 boxes.

Worse still was that the order did not meet the standard of the prototype box ;
They were not embossed as required
The lids were poorly made and the vast majority (280 out of the remaining 368) required re glueing.

I raised the issues with the sales guy and sent him photos of 24 of the most damaged boxes. Although apologetic, he did very little to assist and insisted that the boxes were embossed although they are NOT! I was initially offered £500 ex vat refund and 100 boxes free from my next order! As if I would order from this company again. I refused this and asked for the matter to be escalated to see a suitable resolution.

I was then told by the salesperson that his Finance Manager suggested we take £500 payment ex vat and they would arrange for the lids to be repaired. This was worse than the first offer!

I refused this and asked again to have the matter escalated and if I could speak to a manager but no one senior contacted me.


I was finally offered £1680 refund which is £292.08 less than the amount we were down due to the terrible experience. I was told by the sales guy this would be the final offer and the best they could do. I reluctantly accepted the offer.

The boxes we were left with do not meet our agreed product as there is no embossing and we were left with the majority ( 280) lids needing repaired/glued prior to use.

A totally unsatisfactory and unprofessional transaction with a company that clearly do not care for their customers. They knew we were caught between a rock and a hard place as we have orders to fulfil and waiting another 3 months for new boxes was not an option for us.
Its a shame I can't upload photos to demonstrate the pitiful mess we have been left with.

The above was the initial review I left on Trustpilot.
I also sent personal letters to the company directors complaining about the service received.

The next day the director called and said he would look into the matter if I removed the review until he had investigated. He asked that I send a box and some of the unglued lids to him - at my expense.

A full 3 weeks later, (due to him being unable to investigate with the the Chinese manufacturer due to Spring Festival holiday in China), he emailed me to say that - remarkably enough, the lids were not glued due to a lack of glue!! Clearly there was no quality control in place.
He also said that we had been informed that they would be unable to emboss the boxes per our requirements.
I advised him that we had an email trail with their salesperson, following our receipt of the unembossed prototype box in which we were explicitly assured that the boxes we order would be embossed. If we had been told they couldn't emboss we would never have placed the order in the first place.
The director did offer to have the lids glued if I packaged them and sent them to him but we had manually done so ourselves in the 3 week delay as we had orders to fulfil.
Finally when pressed for a full refund the director said he would refund a further £292.08 if I either sent all the damaged boxes to him or took a photograph of all of the damaged boxes together. I thought this was him now being awkward as they had already refunded £1680 but he was adamant he wanted to check the damage. The director initially said they would always check first and that he would pay for the delivery of all the boxes to him. I sealed and packaged the boxes and chased him up for a collection by courier to be told that it was too expensive and that he would arrange a refund of the £292.08 and consider the matter closed.

"Custom bags from Comet Packaging"

I ordered custom bags from Comet Packaging and was impressed with their service. Their customer service was responsive and helpful, addressing my questions and concerns. The bags were good quality, sturdy, and well-made, with the customization exactly as we had requested. Delivery was fast and arrived sooner than expected. Overall, I highly recommend Comet Packaging for anyone in need of custom bags.

"High quality, quick turn around, amazing service!"

Couldn't recommend Comet enough. We wanted bespoke gift boxes for our wedding favours and when we came across Robert he couldn't do enough to ensure they were exactly what we wanted. The quality is amazing and turn around time was fast. Will be returning in the future, Thank you 😊😊

"The whole team at Comet were great"

The whole team at Comet were an incredible help when getting my bags. They explained every step and answered all my questions. Massive thank you.

"I would highly recommend working with…"

I would highly recommend working with Robert on any packaging project. Comet packaging has been flexible and adaptable, even when our lead times are short. Robert is a good communicator and receptive to feedback. We have worked together on multiple projects.

"Robert from Comet packaging is incredible!"

Robert from Comet packaging is incredibly helpful. I spent two weeks searching high and low for bespoke bags that could be produced within two weeks and a small quantity. From the moment that I spoke to Robert he was extremely professional and reassuring and very patient when it came to my many phone calls. I reiterated that I needed the bags by a certain date and they actually arrived 5 days early. I would highly recommend this company.

"Really impressed with our printed…"

Really impressed with our branded tissue paper we received, all thanks to Gareth who was really helpful! It is great quality and exactly what we asked for and I couldn't recommend Comet enough. Will be using them again!

"Really good service from Comet"

Really good service from Comet, as others have mentioned they seemed super keen to make it work - from flexing the lead time to accommodating or order even though we were just off minimum value, they were super helpful. Gareth was very attentive through the whole process - chasing where he needed, checking colour matches. A great company to work with and the final products are great too! Will most definitely be using them again

"Couldn’t be more happy with Comet…"

Couldn’t be more happy with Comet packaging’s services. I needed candle packaging last minute, and all the other companies I spoke to had quite long lead times - Comet not only printed my bags in a very short amount of time, but they were also very competitively priced, and very reasonable for the quality. Andrew was always very helpful and attentive. The products themselves are first class. Thank you Comet!
