This is not the first time the company has been hit with similar complaints.
Last year the very same issue was raised with the same product.
The 2018 Ultimate Selection Box was 50 per cent more expensive to buy than the individual products it contained.
Last year’s box had the same number and selection of products and cost £50 from Cadbury Gifts direct, £5 more expensive than this year’s offering.
At the time, Britons took to Facebook to complain, the Mail Online reported.
One wrote: “You could get it all a lot cheaper probably half the price, so who would pay 25.00, for the cardboard box, as that’s what you are basically doing.”
Although, Cadbury released a statement, saying: “After popular demand, we have made a limited number of Cadbury Ultimate Selection Boxes, containing all the top Cadbury favorites.
“The smaller production run and increased packaging costs to withhold the considerable weight of the combined products has meant higher manufacturing costs, this is reflected in the price.”
