Tchibo has a quite unblemished and very successful 60-year history in Germany, originally selling coffee and related products and later adding so-called non-food items.

I know tchibo from Germany - where I am originally from. I never had a problem buying there nor with the home shopping service in Germany. So when I discovered tchibo in the Uk I thought "Yeah! A shop I can trust to order!" But boy, was I proofed to be wrong! ****************************************​* ****************************************​***** ******************** First a bit of history: tchibo was founded by Max Herz and Carl Tchilling-Hiryan in 1949 in Germany.
