Quality Street fans say they feel 'stitched up' and 'disappointed' as the confectioner confirmed a popular Christmas gift wouldn't be as widely available this year.
It comes as the much-loved chocolate brand announced its pick and mix would be returning to some John Lewis stores - as well as a new tin design and Christmas cracker. However its personalised tins, which used to be available across the UK through Quality Street's online store, will now only be available in selected John Lewis shops.
Quality Street made the announcement via their Facebook page last week. One shopper asked in the comments: "Can’t you order personalised tins online anymore?? I’ve done this for the last few years." The popular chocolate brand responded with an apology, writing: "I'm sorry to say that our Quality Street webshop will not be open this year".

Shoppers were gutted, with one writing: "They've stitched the online customers up....I've purchased a couple of personalised for the past 2yrs now all they can say is SORRY!!!" Another said: "thats disappointing, I just thought it would be excellent Christmas presents this year. I have ordered a personal tin in the past."
A third said: "I've ordered every year as my son only likes green triangles and my nearest John Lewis is now more than 60 miles away" and a fourth wrote: "Absolutely love your chocolates but can you tell me why you have stopped doing orders on line? It was so much easier to choose in the comfort of your own home, please bring it back".
Quality Street confirmed the pick and mix would be available in 18 stores, including Trafford, Cheadle, Liverpool, Leeds and Nottingham.
