⚠️ BEFORE YOU ORDER COFFEE BAGS… PLEASE READ THIS ⚠️
This isn’t a post I ever wanted to write.
After months of waiting, repeated promises that our order was “coming next week”, and no meaningful communication or proof of dispatch, we’ve come to the difficult realisation that we’re unlikely to receive the coffee bags we paid for from Coffee Bags Direct.
Our business has lost around $10,000, and the impact has been significant.
As we’ve looked into this further, we’ve found public posts and comments from other Australian coffee businesses describing similar experiences. That made us realise this may not be an isolated issue.
We’re sharing our experience because we don’t want another small business to go through what we have.
Before placing a large order with any supplier:
✅ Do your research.
✅ Ask questions.
✅ Check recent reviews and customer experiences.
✅ Consider staged payments where possible.
If you’ve had a similar experience, please comment below or send us a private message. We’d genuinely like to hear from you.
Please share this post. Every share increases the chance that another coffee roaster, café owner or supplier sees it before placing an order. If we can stop even one small business from losing thousands of dollars, this post has been worthwhile.
As an industry, we need to look after one another.
Thank you for your support.
