Marks & SpencerMarks & Spencer - Simply M&S Custard Cream Biscuits 400g (From the UK)

I liked these cookies because they were fresh when they arrived. The cookie was fresh (not crumbly) and the custard was not dried out. I like them because I am not a fan of sugary cookies like my old favorites now taste of, e.g., Oreos and Lorna Doones. HOWEVER, they arrived wrapped in a piece of cardboard that was taped up on all sides. How they expected these cookies to travel and arrive intact is mind-boggling. No forethought involved so a number of cookies were broken. I find that unappealing. Having said that, the cookie itself was very good. I myself will have to really crave these to take a chance on ordering them again.UPDATE: 9/20/16 I'd written the company and received a positive and charming response stating their packing issue would be resolved. I believe their apology is heartfelt and sincere so I've updated my rating from a 4 to a 5 based on their response to my concerns,

Now I know why the Queen loved these. They are so good. A few were broken but they were still edible. Highly recommend

This was my 4th order of these custard creams. I have tried others, but I keep going back to these as no others seem to compare in taste. Also this seller is the best. In my 4 orders, I have never had a broken cookie. This is quite a feat considering they come from the UK and knowing how packages are generally handled in transit. I most definitely recommend these and this seller. If you love custard creams, as i do, give them a try.

Love them but took FOREVER to arrive and came fairly mashed up (From UK, duh!)

My American husband loves these cookies. He rated them 4 simply because they are slightly thinner than Crawford’s. Taste was comparable.

Tasty and fresh

M&S quality is always reliable, just a bit expensive to eat these on a regular basis since they are mailed from the UK, but to eat these once every so often is a delight.

They were old!! Received with several broken as not packaged well!! A disappointment
