Patience is a virtue
I originally placed my order on February 6th, delivery was confirmed on February 17th and after a bit of an issue with DPD, it eventually showed up yesterday, March 19th. The tin of dates is marvellous, lovely design and the personalised sleeve is a nice touch. The dates themselves are delicious and you can't eat one without thinking of the people in Palestine, a bittersweet feeling of connection.

Disappointing
Currently not got a clue what is going on. Emails telling me the dates have been shipped. DPD telling me they don't have them and the disaster that is the shop app (check their reviews on here) telling me they were delivered at 10:50 this morning.
Still think this is an expensive scam until proved wrong.
I will provide updates as I go.
Order number 13768
10th
Now got a shop app notification that the item has been delivered, it has not.
I have a dpd tracking number that is not live as they have not received the item.
I was advised when I enquired that delivery would be 3-5 days (whatsapp chat), we are now going into the 2nd week. Birthday tomorrow....
Delivered.
Hopeless comms
Glad I did not go for personalised as I read on other reviews that it's just a cardboard sleeve.
Tin is great! Very nice.
Dates are great.

Yes it’s a sleeve not printed on tin
Just to clarify for others. The name is on a cardboard sleeve around the tin. It still looks lovely. Dates are 10/10.

Delayed delivery and still no refund despite agreement
I had a very disappointing experience with Donate Directly Shop.
I placed Order #6370 on 18 January with delivery expected by end of January, but by early February nothing had been dispatched. I contacted the company multiple times chasing an update, as the items were meant to be gifts.
On 10 February, the company confirmed that if my order wasn’t delivered by the following Wednesday, they would arrange a full refund straight away. However, the delivery still did not arrive, and the courier tracking showed DPD had not even received the parcel.
When I requested my refund, I was then told the order had suddenly been shipped and could not be cancelled even though DPD website states they have not received the parcel! It is now far too late (over a month), and I still have neither the products nor my money back, despite repeatedly asking them to refund me.
This has been extremely frustrating and unfair. I would not recommend ordering from them based on this experience.

We’re really sorry for the frustration this caused you. You’re absolutely right to expect clear communication and timely resolution, especially when the items were intended as gifts.
There was a delay during a very high-volume dispatch period and the courier tracking did not update as expected, which understandably made the situation worse. That’s on us to manage better.
We can confirm your refund is completed, and it should appear in your account now.
We genuinely apologise for the inconvenience and the back and forth you experienced. That is not the standard we aim for.
If there is anything further you need, please let us know and we will prioritise it.
Important cause and beautiful dates
I ordered a tin of dates with my brother’s name on the tin. Very pleased with the final product. Beautiful sturdy tin, fabulous artwork. The dates plump and delicious. Big shout out to Aisha who helped me with my order. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you.

Lovely gift but long delivery time
Although it took just over 3wks to arrive they are worth the wait. Just be aware the personalised name is printed on a cardboard sleeve and wrapped around the tin, not printed on the tin. Still a lovely gift though and for a good cause ❤️

Thank you so much for your honest and balanced review 🤍
We’re really glad you felt they were worth the wait, that genuinely means a lot to us and to the farmers and families in Palestine who benefit from every tin purchased.
Just to clarify for anyone reading, the personalised sleeve was always our original concept and intention from the very beginning. The design is professionally printed as a bespoke sleeve for each order and carefully wrapped around the tin. This allows us to customise names and messages efficiently, especially during high demand periods like Ramadan.
Printing directly onto metal tins at individual level would be extremely expensive and would significantly increase the price, meaning we wouldn’t be able to keep the product accessible while still supporting people in Palestine. The sleeve model allows us to personalise at scale while keeping the mission affordable and impactful.
We truly appreciate the feedback and the support ❤️
I’ve just received my personalised tin…
I’ve just received my personalised tin of dates in support of Palestine and I could not be happier. Yes the wait was long but I emailed with concern and the communication was immediate and reassuring. I understand the logistics involved in this and I have no doubt this is not a huge company with the resources and capabilities to enable ‘Amazon level distribution’. I would encourage patience and contact by email and remember why you ordered from this company in the first place. I’m happy! Worth the wait!

Do not trust them
I would give zero stars if I could. They started calling me out of the blue in 2024 asking for donations. I was hesitant as it was a cold call and I said I'd look into the company and make a decision at a later date. I decided against donating as they are not a UK registered charity and therefore not accountable to the Charity Commission, meaning I can't trust how my donation could be used. I received more calls and explained i didn't want to donate as they are not a registered charity, but unfortunately they continued to call sometimes daily from different numbers. I've asked them several times to remove me from their call list and delete my data and they say they will, but never do. They are certainly in breach of data protection laws at the very least. I've received 2 calls in the space of 2 hours this evening therefore forced to write this review.

Thanks for taking the time to share your concerns.
We absolutely do not support repeated or unwanted calls. That’s not how we operate.
Donate Directly is a US based transparency and fundraising platform. We work alongside registered charity partners, including Euro Relief UK Charity No. 1197389, who handle regulated UK delivery and compliance.
If you’ve heard from us, it would usually be because you’ve attended one of our events, purchased our Palestine dates, or previously donated to one of our campaigns. We work with some of the most established and well known charities in the UK to ensure donations are delivered properly and transparently.
If someone has asked to be removed from our contact list, that request should be actioned. Full stop.
We do not ignore data removal requests and we do not knowingly contact anyone daily from different numbers as described.
Please email info@donatedirectly.com
or call our UK support line on 020 3355 8587 with the number in question so we can investigate and permanently suppress it from our system.
We are always happy to correct any genuine error.
Being direct is kind of our thing.

Thank you for your comment.
Donate Directly is a transparency and giving platform. On-the-ground aid is delivered through fully registered charity partners. For example, our Gaza response is delivered via Euro Relief UK Charity No. 1197389, who handle compliance, governance and regulated distribution inside Gaza.
We provide the technology, tracking and public proof layer so donors can see where funds go. Delivery evidence, videos and reporting are shared openly across our channels.
We do not profit from disaster. We exist to reduce waste and increase transparency.
If you would like specific partner documentation, we are happy to provide it.
Transparency matters. That is exactly why we built this model.
GRATEFUL and BLESSED!!
GRATEFUL and BLESSED!!! I ordered the dates in support of the people of Palestine last summer, I ordered dates in a tin with my name wrapped on it. I honestly wasn't going to mind if they didn't even get them to me, it was more about consciously supporting the charity. I AM SO GRATEFUL and BLESSED as they arrived today!! It's taken months and I don't care because I am privileged enough not to living in a war zone. Saddens me to see people complaining on here!! Actual sickens me to see people are upset - upset about what? Has your house been blown up today? Probably not. Practise the art of gratitude, humble yourself and give thanks. ✨️

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt review.
Your words truly mean more to us than you know. The intention behind your order, to consciously support the people of Palestine, is exactly why this project exists. We’re deeply grateful for your patience, your empathy, and your perspective, especially in a world where it’s easy to forget our privilege.
Knowing that you chose gratitude and compassion over frustration reminds us why this work matters. Thank you for standing with Palestinian farmers, for your understanding, and for taking the time to share such a powerful reminder for others.
May you always be rewarded for your kindness and intention. ✨
Have patience and understanding
Yes, the delivery times are longer than expected but aren't the dates and olives coming from Palestine? With the geno that's going on over there it's a miracle that they're still able to deliver them at all.
They do come, just a little longer than expected, Some of us have the sense to understand this, while some don't.

i really wanted to support this…
i really wanted to support this initiative with the dates - but unfortunately they have not delivered the product by the date promised (19th Jan) nor communicated that there might be a delay until i got in touch and aired concerns that this was a scam - then they replied wuth apologies that they had delays due to high volume but still no updated delivery date - or even estimate. This is very suspicious and I feel others should be warned - if they aren't delivering the goods - how on earth can we confident they are passing on the donations?

Thank you for sharing your concerns and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused.
We completely understand why the lack of a clear delivery date would feel worrying. The delay has been due to an exceptionally high volume of orders combined with the fact that each personalised Date Tin is prepared one by one, which has taken longer than we ever anticipated. That said, we accept that our communication should have been clearer earlier and we apologise for that.
We want to reassure you that this is not a scam. Orders are being fulfilled and dispatched, just slower than planned, and all donations and purchases are handled transparently as intended. Your concern about trust is valid and we take it seriously.
You can also see our ongoing work, fulfilment updates, and impact directly on our social media channels by searching DonateDirectly, where we regularly share behind-the-scenes updates and on-the-ground content.
So we can properly look into your specific order and give you a clear update or resolution, please email us directly at info@donatedirectly.com
with your order number and details. We’d really like the chance to put this right for you.
Thank you for raising this and for initially wanting to support the initiative. We truly regret that the experience hasn’t matched that intention yet. 🤲🏼💛
