I had a great experience with my Weee order. I purchased multiple items, and all of them arrived fresh, clean, and carefully packaged. The products were high quality, and the delivery was convenient and reliable. I’m very happy with my purchase. That said, I’m very disappointed and frustrated with the review approval process. I submitted honest reviews, ratings, and photos for products I personally purchased, yet some of them were rejected even though everything seemed properly uploaded. It is upsetting because it feels like the reviews are not being evaluated properly and are being rejected arbitrarily. As a loyal customer who spends a good amount on orders, I would appreciate more fairness, consistency, and transparency in how customer reviews are handled.

The salt has large grains and is still very salty. I intended to buy coarse salt to reduce the saltiness but mistakenly bought this kind. However, it's still okay for seasoning.

Folded a sponge cake in the middle, the Oreo flavor was a little stronger...

It's delicious and fresh! I looked at the ingredients and they are simple ingredients without any strange additives. Not greasy either.

It's so delicious! Family members can go for it without worry! The ingredients are also very solid, much more cost-effective than a private chef

Oreo crumbles on the top are yummy and overall delicious but over 7$ for this sized cake is bit overpriced

This cake is very delicious! It has the perfect amount of sweetness, Oreo and moisture.

Unlimited repurchase, sweet but not greasy, the salty and sweet cream is particularly fragrant, but it is a little small
