 Product is great....packaging/shipping is so-soJul 14, 2008
By Lou Who

These biscuits are excellent and have become a staple in my cupboard. I will have to agree that the packaging and shipping from Amazon leaves a lot to be desired. I have received two shipments on this product. The first shipment was great with little to no crumbling or crushing....as good or better than what I found in my local grocer. The second shipment arrived in very poor condition. The box looked like it had been dropped kicked a couple of times. There is no effort to cushion or protect these biscuits from shipping damage. The six biscuit packages are simply put in the shipping box, and shipped. My first shipment was obviously a lucky shipping experience without need for cushioning, but the second shipment had obviously been mishandled. If you're listening amazon....you need to start using air pillows with this product, and enough of them to actually work. My last experience has left me wary of ordering again without improvements to the shipping packaging.
Product = 5 stars
packaging = 1 stars

Now with improved packing by Amazon!Jan 21, 2009

Like others, we've ordered these excellent cookies before and been disappointed by Amazon's packaging. But the good price kept us coming back, and now it appears that Amazon has listened to everyone's complaints. Our recent order arrived with the 6 rolls of cookies arranged in the shipping box in a clever way that prevented damage, so there's no broken end pieces. Kudos, Amazon!

Simply superb packaging & shipping !!!Nov 02, 2009

After reading some of the earlier reviews about bad packaging, I was a bit hesitant about ordering my favourite biscuits over here, but I thought I will give this a try. But when the product got delivered, I was simply eccentric at the superb quality of the packaging. Kudos to Amazon again :)

An English ClassicNov 10, 2008
By Steve Benner

"Rich Tea" are the quintessential English tea-time biscuit, to be served mid-afternoon with a fine cup of English Tea (taken with milk, not lemon). And McVitie make the finest "Rich Tea", having exactly the correct texture and firmness and delicate flavour which these biscuits should have. "Rich Tea" are also the ultimate dunking biscuits, for which purposes they must, of course, be entirely whole and not cracked even in the slightest, otherwise they will instantly fall in half and disappear to the bottom of the cup. Even whole, these biscuits present the maximum challenge to the dunker -- leave the biscuit in the tea just a fraction of a second too long and, again, you'll wonder where your biscuit went (and why you have blotting paper at the bottom of your cup). [American readers please note that dunking is, of course, entirely frowned upon in English high society, as an activity undertaken only by the peasant classes. It is thus to be indulged in only when entirely alone and in the privacy of one's own home, when there is no danger of being observed by the servants.]
Should your biscuits arrive broken, as may, unfortunately, be all too likely (as these are a fragile biscuit and McVitie's packaging consists of no more than a paper wrapper) do not despair; all is not lost. Simply tip a quantity of the broken biscuits into a bowl and pour hot milk over them. The result may look like soggy blotting paper, but the eating experience is exquisite!

Perfect snackOct 22, 2010
By Sandy P

I'd purchased these based on the reviews here and their reputation abroad. A delightful little tea-time/anytime snack, these little cookies do remind you of graham crackers in taste, but they're not as sweet and have a slight baking soda aftertaste that remind me of Violet Crumbles. The consistency is course grain but crumbly. In your mouth, the cookie falls apart into small crumbs like what you'd find on a graham cracker pie crust.
Amazon did a wonderful job in shipping. I know a lot of people have stated that theirs came in crumbled, but almost none of mine were broken. Mine arrived as a box inside a box and had bubble wrap and tacky tape that tried to keep each roll stationary. But another reason for their good condition might have been that they didn't have to stay in transit long. It looks like mine came out of Florida, and they were delivered to South Georgia. Either way, I'm extremely satisifed with the quality and shipping of my purchase.
