    Hello all,

    Could someone please please have a look at the back of the solids box and see if its suitable for vegetarians please? Very tempted!!

    Many thanks xx

    yes, it says suitable for vegetarians on the back of the menu card (I chose the solid blocks if that makes any difference).

    I also was charged £.9.95 instead of £7.95 so I gave Hotel Chocolat a ring and lady reimbursed £2. She did not sound very happy though (probably, received too many calls with the same inquiry- well, whose fault is that?) and casted doubt on when I answered her question saying that I received a leaflet through with the introductory offer!! She said: "This is very strange..." Nevertheless, returned my money back in a flash of a moment.
    I love this forum and thank everybody who contributes to it!

    Haha - it's advertised on the quidco site, no need to lie!

    I emailed asking for a £2 refund today and got this reply

    Dear Mrs,

    Thank you for your email.

    I am sorry for our error, I have now refunded this over payment back to your card and if there is anything further we can help with please do contact us.

    Kind regards,

    Like others, the price has tracked on Topcashback at £9.74 with the £5.00 cashback but I have been correctly charged on my credit card.

    I received my chocolates on Friday (not sure how the postman got that huge box through the letterbox!) and I'm showing such self control in not opening them and scoffing the lot!

    I ordered the dark ones, and we've eaten them already.

    I wish I'd ordered the solid now, if they are all wrapped separately. Maybe I'll get my sister to order some

    anyway, has anyone canceled the membership after receiving the chocolates? how about quidco, do they still track cashback if i cancel my membership?

    I only had 3 wrappers in mine - 2 of them were for solid blocks - 100g each with sprinkles or whatever on them - good enough to give as a gift. The other was a 2-pack of white chocolate slabs, 50g each I think but my son grabbed it.

    well you've all tempted me into this too....can't wait to get them now. BTW has anyone had bother cancelling the membership of the tasting club? Just in case!!
    Went through top cash.
    mmmm.....Can almost smell the chocolate.....

    I cancelled my membership very reluctantly in April, when I was diagnosed with diabetes (grr!), and had no problems whatsoever. Just emailed them, and they cancelled it graciously. Since then they have given me another offer to take up membership again £7-95, I believe, so have done that, and will take a tasting club selection every few months to give as gifts. (may sneak a little bit myself too, as my doc says a little of what you fancy does you good lol!)
