Why such a ridiculous mark-up on these?!

Why are so many sellers of these snack cakes marking up the price so high?! You can get a box at any supermarket for about $3.00 - $4.00.

They are back on them market, so they aren't too hard to find. I for one, would never pay these ridiculously jacked-up prices! They're just snack cakes! Whether they're on of off the market...there is no good reason to pay so much for something like this.

$15.00 or more is just pure greed by these sellers! Paying anything more than $2.00 over the actual retail price is foolish!

The other question is...who are these people that have to have these at any price?! Money to burn, I guess....

They use paypal for their payment processing. You need to file a claim with them.

Be sure to include any and all relevant information including a copy of the receipt, emails you sent also the tracking number of the package that was returned would be most helpful. If they don't come clean on the deal and do not provide Paypal with evidence that you received your item they could be in trouble.

At minimum you will get a refund and hopefully these scammers will get their account pulled. Then again Paypal isn't the greatest company to deal with either, I'm sure there are a ton of complaints on this site about them

Fresh Chocodiles does not fulfill orders

I did actually have a successful transaction with the company, once. It took weeks for them to fill it, and the Chocodiles were about a day away from expiration, but they managed to get it to me. The second order never arrived at all.

The problem isn't simply that they forget about orders. I have my conversation thread where the guy says that one of the things I ordered wasn't available, and he offers a substitution. I agreed to that substitution. And then it was never shipped.

The product that he said wasn't available just doesn't exist. It hasn't existed for awhile.

That was a particular flavor of fruit pie. I've heard similar complaints about his efforts to sell the raspberry filled donuts, which also are no longer made.

I reminded him of my order every couple weeks for a few months. Then after that, he started spamming me ads for Fresh Chocodiles. I angrily replied to the first one, including our correspondence.

I'm still on his mailing list.

Chocodiles was fine by me

I used FreshChocodiles at least twice, and both times I was satisfied. For 25 dollars, I received 2 boxes of Chocodiles.

These were a favorite among my friends. Unfortunately 1 box at one time was stolen by a dishonest roommate, who took them one by one, foolishly hiding the wrappers underneath the couch cushions until I found them.

I tried complaining to her family, but they only laughed at me, not understanding that these were not just simply chocolate-covered Twinkies. They were from Ireland and didn't understand the cultural significance of Chocodiles, especially to people on the east coast who can no longer buy them in the store any longer.

Fresh Chocodiles is a scam

I placed an order from them online, very excited about receiving their product, and after 3 weeks went by, I had not received anything. I followed up via the contact us on their website as well as replying to the e-mail address I had received the confirmation form and had no response.

I then followed up yet again threatening to dispute the order through my credit card company, assuming they would respond to this, and still had no response whatsoever. I disputed it through my credit card company who thankfully refunded my money with minimal effort because I had carefully documented all of my unanswered contact with FreshChocodiles. After this experience, I continue to receive countless e-mail solicitations from them to which I repeatedly request they remove me from their list. I recently did a little internet recon and found the name and home address of the owner.

I replied to their most recent unwanted e-mail solicitation dropping in some of the information I had found about the owner and lo and behold I get a response within minutes of sending my e-mail.

They are truly nothing but a scam. Don't expect to receive a response from them unless you are placing a new order or happen to know the identity of the owner.

Fresh Chocidiles sold me old pastries and wouldn't fix the problem.

I bought 2 boxes of chocodiles. They arrived 3 days past their "best if used by" date.

I contacted the owner. I was told he would look in to the complaint. I waited a week. Another e-mail to him.

He asked for a scanned wrapper showing the date. I scanned a wrapper to prove they were old. Waited a week, another e-mail. I was promised at least 3 times, that replacements were shipped.

He was lying every time.

He was just stringing me along, figuring I'd get fed up and stopped e-mailing him. What an total liar and ***.

Fresh Chocodiles never sends the orders but takes money

I ordered From Fresh Chocodiles and they had no trouble charging my credit card, but never answered the 4 emails I sent them as to where is my order?

They offer a complete line of Hostess products, and you can buy in bulk. My order was to arrive well before Easter, because we had a project planned to use the Hosstess Snowballs to make Easter Bunny cupcakes for children. The SnowBalls are not sold in my area.

They claim to use FEDEX so your order will be fresh and timely, yeah right.

I have reported them to the Federal Trade commission and Consumer Fraud, Google checkout system, and hope to get these people closed and my money back.

Fresh Chocodiles is a RIP-OFF

My girlfriend purchased 4 boxes of Chocodiles from Fresh Chocodiles back in Mid August. Shipping was almost double what it really costs but that is not the problem. The problem is that the Chocodiles that arrived were Expired and STALE! I know sometimes you can eat something after the expiration date but I tried them and they were certainly stale. And to be honest is it really fresh if it is expired?

So anyway my girlfriend emailed them the day she received them and was told she would receive a refund. That was the last we heard of the company. We have sent several emails since and they just ignore us. We filed a Paypal claim against them and they replied via Paypal that they shipped the product and provided tracking information. They also stated they do not guarantee freshness!

Paypal favored on their side because they state the product was delivered.

This company is a complete rip-off.

And if you dont believe me, there is an entire website dedicated to their horrible company:

I have purchased from this so called firm too and received stale chocodiles even when I asked them the expiration dates before buying. One time they didn't include another product, said later they'd replace it with something else, but never did,so I haven't ordered since--I then emailed them a number of times with no reply, yet once a year or so, I get an email from them wanting me to buy--I then tell them how they screwed up before and never replied, then still--they just continue not to reply--so will not order from them ever again. too bad

Guest

Do not buy anything from FRESH CHOCODILES. I purchased some products from them 4 months ago and still have not received them.

Freshchocodiles.com is a rip off!

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM FRESCHOCODILES.COM! Last month I purchased 3 boxes of chocodiles for my boyfriend's birthday and when I received the boxes one of the boxes was already EXPIRED and the other two were only good for 2 more days! Who is gonna eat 2 full boxes of chocodiles in one day???? I quickly emailed the company requesting for either a full refund or replacement of my order- 2 days later I received a response explaining that a refund will be done for the one expired box. I then emailed freshchocodiles back asking for a full refund as I was unable to give these 3 boxes to my boyfriend as they were NOT FRESH.

Well, it has been over 3 weeks and SEVERAL emails requesting for an update of my refund or new order but I have received NO REFUND AND ALL MY EMAILS HAVE BEEN IGNORED! This has been a horrible experience for me, I do not recommned Freshchocodiles to anyone looking to purchase chocodiles as they DO NOT offer fresh chocodiles and they DO NOT answer to customer's complaints or issues.

After doing some research on line I have seen that there are hundreds of similar stories like mine. Trust me, save your money and do not purchase anything from this rip off company!

Dispute the charge on your credit card, state you did not receive what you purchased meaning you did NOT receive fresh food the date was past and or the next day and that was NOT what you agreed to purchase. That should be considered fraud or false advertisement.

This is not a real company!!!

I placed an order and paid on 7 Mar 10. Luckily I paid through Paypal.

After two weeks where I received NOTHING, no order, no email, nothing, I sent an email to the address on the website and I waited...and waited. No response. Then, I called the telephone number on the Paypal receipt (650-648-****), only to recieve a recording telling me to use the email address. Hmmmmm.

Finally, after weeks of nothing, I opened a dispute through Paypal and waited for a response from the 'company'. Again, no response. Finally, after 4 days of silence, I raised the dispute to a claim. It has been 6 days and they haven't even bothered to respond to that.

Luckily, on 5 Apr 10 I will get my money returned to me because I have no doubt they will not respond to the dispute either.

I have never seen anything like this. No way that this can be a real company. Anyone who posts anything good about them must actually BE them trying to drum up more customers that they can rob.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and pass this up. Do not order from them.

DO NOT ORDER from this company. They are awful.

Do not respond to emails. After almost 30 days and filing a dispute with wepay and no response, on his last day to respond he sent the chocodiles. Received them with 1 day left on the sell by date.

Chocodiles123 is so much better. Ordered on a friday had them by Monday!

Stay away from chocodiles now,,,no better,same issues

While I should not comment on anyone's experience with this company. After not having any of these treats for 25 plus years when they were about 30 cents each, I will say is I ordered 10 boxes of Chocodiles for $75 with free (or discounted) Fed Ex Ground on Dec 3, 2007.

They arrived in less 2 weeks and were kept cool my CT garage. They were a great Christmas stocking stuffer for my daughters and a great college flashback for my wife & I. The last sale date on all of then was in early January of '08. I put them in the freezer and at the pace of a one or two a week, they lasted until October.

We would just sit them on the counter for about an hour or two and then enjoy. The last one was almost as good the first on Christmas day.

I was about to do order again for Valentine's Day.

I guess I should have a backup plane in case this or another company does not provide quality service. :sigh :sigh

same thing happened to me, too. Unbelievable. Where can we report this?

Fresh Chocodiles Choco diles Doesn't ship items!

www.freshchocodiles.com order, pay and they don't ship. No follow up through email. I've been waiting for 21 days now and no shipment or follow up.

I filed a dispute with paypal and that is "pending".

I have sent numerous emails and no follow up until I threatened reporting to the FBI internet crimes tip line- www.ic3.gov. Then they admitted they did NOT ship the items and I would be refunded within 24 hours. It literally takes a minute to refund under paypal.

I found them all over another consumer site- ripoffreport.com and more people complaining about the same things!

They steal money and screw around and you get absoultely nothing. Avoid these people. They scam!

I ordered several boxes as a birthday gift but its been almost 30 days and I haven't received them. The site is using Google Checkout now and they are looking into it.

I've emailed "customer service" at least 5 times and only got one response.

Someone named Vince said my order would be taken care of in 24 hours - that was almost 3 weeks ago. This site is a total scam and now I have one very disappointed person who was looking forward to a childhood treat.

Guest

I am so glad i saw this first! I nearly ordered some from this company. Thanks for the tip off!

Guest

I had the same problem. I honestly DO NOT think this is a real company.

I paid on 7 Mar 10 and after two weeks of nothing I attempted to email and call (calling the 650-648-**** only gets you a recording telling you to email them). No response at all. Luckily I paid through Paypal and I filed a claim (which they never responded to) then raised it to a dispute. They only responded to the dispute after I filed a report on The Internet Crime Complaint Center (www.ic3.gov) and even then it was only to provide a a USPS tracking number that showed a package being delivered over 100 miles away from my house!

I immediately called Paypal and asked them to look at the complaint. They did and immediately refunded my money. THis place is a joke. I did however find a place to order Hostess products: wwwLooneyStuff.com They seem to be reputable.

I received a confirmation email and they have no complaints that I can find anywhere. They don't have Chocodiles but they have just about everything else.

Guest

I have some information, that I throughly researched that I am sure will help..

Email address - Freshchocodiles@***.com
