Does anyone live in/visit central London that could help me out?

[Justonedayatatime11]

Desperately trying to get a large box of milk choc coffee creams from fortnum and masons chocolate counter. Happy to pay postage etc and throw in a box for anyone who could help me out!

how quickly do you need them?

Some time before Christmas

Can't you order them online? Their delivery charges are steep but it is doable?

They're not available on their website, as they're not prepackaged

Have you tried calling their customer service (02077348040) I’m sure they would be happy to help and you might be more comfortable than paying a “stranger”

Do you need someone to collect them from the store and then post them to you?

Gohackyourself pretty much. There's a massive chocolate counter in f&m, I just need the biggest box they do posted to me!

That sounds like it will cost a small fortune!

They are made by this company- you can order directly

I order directly from audreys every christmas- you dont get the fortnums box but a rather nice old fashioned hard box

@justonedayatatime11 I'm going into London on Tuesday and will be near F and M, also going into London at the end of the month of you are still looking for someone. I can be verified by a friend on here if you would like

I work in St James's and would also v happily pick up a box of F&M chocolates and get them wherever you need them to be. I'm going into the office two/three times a week and will do so consistently until Xmas. Key worker so that will remain the case even if we go into some other Higher Covid Level of Doom.

You need to get them just before you need them as they definatley go off and harden.

CovidClara is that really true?!

Audrey website is a bit clunky- you can call them. You have to select plain or milk first and then it shows each chocolate (so for violet cremes there are plain and milk and you order from different pages)

They do a great range at Christmas usually. I get a large box and it is like something from Poirot- I always expect them to be poisoned.

I have no connection with Audreys. I think I originally read about them on here.

CovidClara you are an absolute star! I spoke with them this morning and a box of 64 coffee creams is on its way to me

I love posts like this.

Off to get coffee creams for Christmas too, inspired by this!

This is a truly excellent thread and OP, you have done us a great service by asking the question, Clara you have done us a great service by answering!

64 coffee creams is awesome.

CovidClara I can't thank you enough. Ordered yesterday morning and were delivered today. Amazing company and fantastic customer service. Love the proper chocolate box they came in too!

Am so happy I stumbled across this thread! When clearing my grandparents' house we found several really beautiful old chocolate boxes from Black Magic, Milk Tray etc, all solid, with silk tassels etc, so much nicer and more special. I'm off to peruse Audreys...

Glad you like them, mine came too but a much smaller box. 1st thing that I have tasted since getting Covid. I have eater a few- the box was full!
