I sent a small hamper to my sister, who was thrilled with it. She particularly loved the creme brulee fudge. The hamper was delivered promptly, even though my sister has a rural address, with good communication throughout the whole process. - 08/02/2025

I can not speak highly enough about the amazing service and products from We Love Local. Especially because I had provided an incorrect delivery address, and Val went out of her way to sort it all out for me. I also love the focus on recyclable packaging and care for the environment. Thankyou 'We Love Local'....I'll be back! 😁 - 05/02/2025

I live in Kuala Lumpur and needed to buy a thank you gift for a friend in Auckland. I discovered the company online and after a bit of research decided to place two orders. The recipients were incredibly impressed by the quality of the gift and have said they will use the company for gifting in the future as well. High praise, I think. Thank you - 30/01/2025

I love We Love Local. Holy moly they went out of their way to make sure the gift box I ordered arrived at the hotel we were staying at and was ready in our room before we turned up. I received a lovely phone call from them to make sure it'll arrive on time, and then follow up texts to say it had arrived and was in our room. The service was second to none! The gift box was also exceptional! What a great selection of Wellington treats for this formally Wellingtonian - made us proud to have spent the best part of two decades in the city. Great product, amazing service! - 29/01/2025

What an amazing company! Their customer service is second to none. I ordered the Get Well Care package for a friend visiting NZ from the UK who'd unfortunately been admitted to hospital in Christchurch. However she was unexpectedly moved to Wellington before it was delivered. Valerie went out of her way to trace it and ensure she recieved it by communicating with both hospitals and calling me severel times in the UK. A thoroughly personal warm experience despite being conducted from the other side of the world. Thanks XX - 28/01/2025
