Order placed a month ago.....still not received it

Placed my order on 16.4.26. Email received 20.04.26 1 item OOS, expected to be in stock on 8.5.26, will send all items then. Another email on 7.5.26, something else in my order is now OOS, expected to be in stock 19.05.26. 3 emails from me have not been answered, only the generic "we have received your email" I have been waiting over a month for my delivery. No telephone service for Customer Service Team, only email, which is ignored. Shame, would love to have been able to give a more positive review, alas, still waiting for my goods a month after payment 😢

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration. One of our colleagues messaged you yesterday afternoon to confirm that everything has now been sorted out and your order will be dispatched as soon as possible.

Part of the delay was caused by unexpected stock shortages while your order was being prepared, but the missing stock has now arrived and the warehouse team is prioritising your parcel for dispatch.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment caused over the past few weeks, and we truly appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this.

Slow Customer Service.

Our package arrived damaged, with two items not usable. I emailed customer service (they have no phone number). I got a reply that they were busy and would get back to me soon. It's been over a week. I have sent two more emails. They finally got back to me and made it all right.

Thank you for your review.

I’m sorry again that part of your order arrived damaged and that it took longer than it should have for us to come back to you initially.

I’m really pleased we were able to put things right for you in the end, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to update your review to reflect that. Thank you as well for your patience and support of Big Green Smile.

Non existent customer service

How long does bgs expect customers to wait in for a delivery, spend time on the phone, time composing annoyed emails? This is terrible self-defeating customer 'service'. DHL emailed me to say they'd delivered my order to me. Not true. Can I get any response from them, or bgs? No. I have used bgs before, and approve of their ethos. I'd like to support them, but they make it impossible. Never again.

Thank you for your review, Joy, and I’m sorry for the experience you’ve had with this order.

I can see Kay was in touch with you yesterday and is now speaking directly with DHL to understand what has happened with your parcel and get this resolved as quickly as possible.

I completely understand how frustrating this situation has been, particularly with the conflicting delivery updates. Thank you as well for your continued support of Big Green Smile. We really appreciate it.

If you need anything further regarding your order, please do continue to reply on your existing support ticket and the team will come back to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards, Eleri

Terrible customer servide

Terrible customer servide. Have an Big Green Smile order which is possibly sitting in a DHL depot, which keeps on promising to be delivered but not.for the last couple of weeks. Or has it actually been dispatched? Big Green Smile do not respond to any emails, and DHL do not provide any human support for tracking. Not sure what is going on with this company, but if I could get a response a refund would be appreciated...

Hi John,
Thank you for your review, and we’re sorry for the frustrating delivery experience.

Your parcel became delayed within the DHL network for much longer than we would normally expect, and we are addressing the difficulty you experienced in receiving updates during that time.

I can see we’ve since been in touch with you directly and that the parcel has now been delivered.

Thank you again for your patience and for your support of Big Green Smile.

Awful customer service and still waiting for my order over 2 weeks after paying for it.

The fact I am writing a Trust Pilot review for the first time ever says it all.

My experience buying from Big Green Smile has been awful. I ordered 2 weeks ago as I write this and was assured my order was out for delivery 8 days ago.

I have emailed Big Smile Customer Service 6 times and I am still none the wiser where my order is. Only one person has replied to me and that was off the back of my 5th email. Nothing since and their phone line isn't taking calls because they say they are prioritising email enquiries.

I won't buy from them again. It's a shame given the great sustainable products that they sell.

Big Smile - don't write on your website that you put customers first. It's simply not true.

Hi Heidi,

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m sorry for the wait and for the delay in getting a clear response from us while we investigated what had happened with your parcel.

Your order did not move through the delivery network as expected, and we’re investigating this directly with DHL as the length of the delay here is not what we would normally expect. We’ve now been in touch with you directly and arranged the refund you requested.

I appreciate how frustrating this has been, and I’m sorry we didn’t communicate more clearly sooner.

Thank you,
Eleri

After 21 days, still no delivery

I ordered laundry detergent in bulk on 8 April. After 10 days, I contacted Big Green Smile to find out what had happened, as the DHL tracking hadn’t updated for a while. BGS were very apologetic and agreed to send my order out again. And since then I have spent what feels like my entire existence refreshing the tracking page on DHL desperately trying to find out when-oh-when I might pretty please actually get what I’d ordered.

So I rang DHL today. ‘Your item will be delivered tomorrow’ the AI on the other end said - you can’t speak to a person, naturally. Excited, I checked the tracking again this evening. Your item has been sent back to the vendor, it said. No further explanation, and no delivery attempts have been made.

So I’ve given up and asked for a refund - I’ve used BGS before with zero problems, so something must have gone badly wrong since then - enpoopification, could we call it? With the time I’ve wasted on the supposedly convenient option of having something bulky delivered, I feel like I could have trained in Olympic lifting and farmer-carried it or whatever back from the shops. So avoid BGS. You only have one life and it shouldn’t be spent wondering whether or not you’ll be able to wash clothes within a month of running out of laundry soap.

I placed an order on 11th April

I placed an order on 11th April, it is now the 28th and I haven't received anything. I sent an email 6 days ago seeking an update and did not receive a reply. I undestand things are delayed but the customer service is poor. I work in a council and am going to speak to my Consumer Advice colleagues to see what my next steps are and alert my credit card company to see if they consider this fraudulent activity.

I ordered for the first time from them on 14th of April it’s been more than a week and I still have no tracking number or an update.

Will have to raise a chargeback. It’s a shame they offer such a bad service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and I’m sorry for the delay you experienced with your first order.

Your order became delayed in our processing system, which meant it took longer than it should have for tracking information to be issued and the parcel dispatched. I completely understand how frustrating that was from your side, particularly with the lack of updates during that time.

I can see your order has since been delivered and that the issue was resolved. We’ve also since put additional checks and processes in place to help prevent this type of delay happening again.

I’m sorry the experience fell short of expectations on this occasion, but thank you again for the feedback.

Proven wrong

After reading the recent reviews on here, I very nearly decided against ordering from Big Green Smile. However, deciding I'd rather not face looking elsewhere for the range of products that I'd managed to secure on their site for such a competitive price, I "risked" ordering with them. I had absolutely no issues. I received the confirmation email soon after placing my order and my fully complete, neatly packed parcel was with me in the UK within a week. Considering the range of items I ordered, I was thoroughly impressed. The website is easy to navigate and the pricing is great too. I can only recommend you order with them from my experience!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.

We really appreciate you giving us a chance and sharing your experience so openly. We did experience some temporary disruption earlier this year following our warehouse move, so feedback like this is especially encouraging and appreciated.

I’m delighted to hear your order arrived complete, well packed and within the expected timeframe, and that you found the website easy to use and the range and pricing strong too. That’s exactly the experience we aim to provide for our customers.

Thank you again for your order and your recommendation. It means a lot to us.

Thanks,

I unfortunately have had exactly the same experience as most recent reviews - no customer phone number, no email response and a package that has been supposedly been sitting at the delivery depot for a week...using DHL eCommerce who also don't have a phone number and whose chat feature doesn't recognise it's own tracking number or connect to a human. One more day and I'll have to raise a charge back - only the second time I have ever had to.

No delivery

Something has gone wrong with this company. I have ordered from them over the years with no problem but I am still waiting for an order that was due 7 days ago. They don't take calls anymore and do not reply to emails. The tracking service has just said 'delayed' for 7 days. I have no idea whether I will receive my order of if this company is going under.

The company suffers from the lack of good management, as more and more products are out of stock and rarely restocked, and delivery times are unreasonably long. Fortunately, the products are excellent and the after-sales service is always polite, but they are waiting for an effective leader on their team. A tip? Place an order and then file a complaint about the delay; then they'll take action. Otherwise, delivery will take WEEKS before you receive your package.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review. We’re glad you value the product quality and the way our team communicates, and we’re sorry that availability and service levels were not as consistent as they should have been.

Since then, we’ve made improvements to stock replenishment and to how we flag orders that might be held up unexpectedly. We’re also now back to dispatching most orders within two working days.

Thank you again for the feedback, it helps us keep improving.

We can see your order was dispatched within a few days, but it was lost in transit. We’re very sorry about that, and we have since processed a full refund. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we remain fully operational and dispatching orders as normal.

Placed an order ages ago (2445102) and emailed the company asking them for an update. I still haven't received a response, and this was a week ago. Wishing I hadn't bothered with this company.

I placed an order for Surya Hair dye…not received

Further information regarding the order for surya Hair order 2448441
My delivery postal address was incorrect despite my only ever having lived at one address in the county of Hants.I spent the whole day home waiting for delivery 18/02/26, received a last minute message from DHL stateing "unable to access address.I attempted to speak to a customer service agent at DHL however the ecommerce dept has no one to speak with .The automated call is 7 pence a minute on top normal phone tarrif . As the postcode they held was incorrect I could not trace my goods or find out why they could not access my property even with an online enquiry .I then attempted to ring customer service at BIG GREEN SMILE a recorded message stated they were unable to take call's and suggested emailing which I did and was eventually told the post code was different ,I confirmed my credit card used from purchase was registered at my address correctly .
I attempted to have my goods collected however the local supermarket that DHL use would only accept proof of address and photographic ID that the original driver held .so back to square one again as I don't reside there.
I continued to email back and forth to BIG GREEN SMILE and requested they speak with DHL and request my goods be delivered today 19/02/26 at the correct address.I received mail this afternoon from them that seems to have ignored my request to have my order corrected and delivery to my home and suggested I collect from the supermarket.
I am old enough to recall the song "There's a hole in my Bucket"

I spent £60.20 on four bottles of hair dye that I have used for the last 17 years purchasing from different suppliers at the original price £7.00 gradually increasing in price however always delivered now £15.00 a bottle and not delivered . I understand inflation however do not understand poor service or unacceptable choice of delivery company ,whats wrong with Royal mail or a company that has staff manning the phones.
Its now 13.45 pm on the 19/02/26 still no goods delivered and no idea if they ever will be.

My first time purchasing through BIG GREEN SMILE has been time consuming frustrating and disappointing .

I placed an order for Surya Hair dye first time using big green smile,waited in all day for the DHL Delivery who last minute 12.30 sate can't access delivery address.
I have regular Amazon royal mail and evri delivery ,never a problem
DHL Are not taking calls big green smile are not taking call'
What a dreadful poor service ,first and last time placing orders with big green smile.

Nothing delivered and no replies

Nothing delivered and no replies to emails.
It seems there is a theme to reviews here for Big Green Smile recently – this one is the same: placed an order in December (understanding from them it may be delayed a few weeks due to a warehouse moved). Since then: nothing. I have sent 5 emails over the past month and had not a single reply. Just frustrating and annoying. It's unfortunate that it's simply not worth the headache of ordering with this company.

Placed an order last week

Placed an order last week, received an email saying items would be dispatched in 2 working days with an email to notify me. 5 working days later I still have no dispatch email so I have contacted customer services and not had a reply. Very poor service, its now been 9 days since I placed my order and I have no idea what is going on and no contact from them. I've now ran out of some of the items I ordered and need to know when they will be arriving.

I run my own business, so completely understand that things can go wrong and orders can be delayed, but communication is essential if this happens so your customers are aware of the situation and what options are available to them. If this business is struggling they should not keep taking money from people if they can't fulfill orders. I will be requesting a chargeback from my bank if I haven't had any response to my email or this review by next week.

Wish I had done my research and come on trustpilot before ordering from them, lots of people having the same issue i wouldn't have bothered!

We can see your order was delivered today. We’re back to our normal dispatch service following the warehouse move, so this should have dispatched within two working days. We’re reviewing what caused your order to miss the usual update flow, so this doesn’t happen again.

Thank you again for raising this.

Terrible customer service

I rarely leave reviews, especially not bad ones, however I've been left with no choice because of the shocking customer service of BGS - or lack thereof!

I made my order on 3rd January, then was told that an item was out of stock and it would all be shipped together on the 22nd when it returns. Nothing has since arrived 3 weeks later and I have sent 3 emails asking for an update or a refund if appropriate, in the case they don't have the ability to process my order at all. I have had no reply whatsoever.

They need a very good excuse as to why they are unable to fulfill a simple order of cleaning items for 6 weeks and why they can't communicate properly with their customers around this. I understand they have had warehouse issues but it appears to have been going on for a long time, so it's not responsible or ethical to keep taking people's money if you can't fulfil their orders.

Missing delivery over a month

I have placed an order on 6th Jan and have not received on 12th Feb, not even an update on expected dispatch date.

After this review I immediately received their reply and apolopies which is appreciated.

However one of my items, which is the main reason for this order, now goes out of stock and they can't deliver. It is disappointing.
