I previously had good experiences with Childrensalon, but the handling of a faulty item has been extremely disappointing.

Joha leggings developed a hole after one wear. Since 7 November, I have repeatedly requested an identical replacement. Childrensalon confirmed that the item was available and reserved.

Customer service adviser Sade instead issued store credit without my agreement and told me to place another order. When challenged, she insisted that the correct procedures had been followed and emphasised her knowledge of consumer rights, while still failing to arrange the replacement requested.

I found her responses dismissive and unhelpful. A straightforward faulty-item complaint has become an exhausting exchange in which I keep repeating the same request. As of 11 November, there is still no confirmed replacement dispatch.

Helpful customer service. I phoned them and a lady phoned me back to resolve the problem quickly. Also easy to catch them on email. Lovely products

DO NOT BUY FROM CHILDREN SALON - AWFUL EXPERIENCE

I placed a large order for my baby and never received it. Customer service told me it was marked as delivered, but on that date no one was home, our gate was shut, and the parcel was not left over the fence or anywhere on our property.
I asked for basic proof of delivery - a signature or photo - and they refused to provide it. Staff were extremely rude and made me feel like I was lying.
Under NZ consumer law, when a retailer arranges delivery they are responsible for getting the order to the customer. I have paid for goods I have not received and feel scammed and out of pocket. I will be escalating this to my bank and Consumer Protection NZ

Update your systems

Recently gone on maternity leave and excited to use a gift voucher from work (a pre-paid Mastercard card). Very happily chose lots of cute bits (well above giftcard value so just wanted to use for part payment) to then check out and card kept getting rejected. Contacted customer service and they don’t accept pre paid gift cards. Very silly, its 2026, update your system and you would have probably had a repeat customer for life.

Hello Fran,
We’re really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience, and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been when you were unable to complete your purchase using your prepaid Mastercard.
At the moment, unfortunately, we’re unable to accept prepaid cards as a payment method. We do, however, accept a wide range of other payment methods, including debit and credit cards, PayPal, and many more.
We’re genuinely sorry that we couldn’t accommodate your preferred payment method on this occasion. We’re always looking at ways to improve our payment options, and we certainly hope to be able to support prepaid cards in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We really do appreciate it, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future. ❤️

Poor experience

I have shopped with ChildrenSalon for years and have always had a great experience, which is why this recent order was so disappointing.

I ordered a swimsuit on Saturday for my daughter that I needed for the following weekend, with delivery scheduled for Monday. Unfortunately, it never arrived. I received a text from DPD saying the parcel had been “delayed”, but I heard nothing from ChildrenSalon.

By Wednesday, the tracking still showed the parcel as delayed, so I contacted ChildrenSalon via live chat. The customer service adviser was vague and didn’t seem to know what had happened, only saying that DPD would “probably” return the parcel to them.

What disappointed me most was the lack of customer service. There was no apology, no offer of a replacement or goodwill gesture, and no attempt to resolve the situation. I requested a replacement, but by then the swimsuit was out of stock. I then asked for a refund but was told I would have to wait until the parcel was returned to their warehouse before they could process it.

I understand that delivery issues can happen and aren’t always the retailer’s fault, but the way the situation was handled was very poor. A simple apology, better communication, or some effort to help would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left without the item I needed and felt that my custom wasn’t valued.

Dear Vickie
We are so sorry for the disappointment caused by your order.
We did try calling you, but were only able to leave a voicemail. Unfortunately, we only became aware that your parcel had been damaged in transit after you contacted us. In situations like this, DPD either returns the parcel to us or, depending on the extent of the damage, still attempts delivery without notifying us beforehand. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, and we only wish we had known sooner so we could have contacted you and resolved the issue proactively.
We're also very sorry that this happened to be our last item in stock, which meant we were unable to send a replacement immediately. We have, of course, processed a full refund, but we appreciate that this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. We hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
Have an amazing weekend ❤️

Samantha The Star ⭐

Samantha was extremely helpful. She really went the extra mile to ensure that I managed to purchase what I required. Excellent customer service and support. Samantha is a real credit to Childrensalon. They are lucky to have her as an employee. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Update - Unfortunately after ordering I realised the product was going to be too large!! Stupid me!! My own fault. I only read the length and not the other dimensions. Childrensalon were excellent. I sincerely apologised and they are sorting the issue out for me. You can trust this company. Don’t hesitate to buy from them.

Absolutely shocking experience….

I spent over £300 on a parcel that I never received, and Childrensalon has refused to take responsibility.
The parcel was allegedly delivered to someone called “Nicolas” — a person I have never heard of and who nobody in my building has been able to identify. I made enquiries with neighbours, and nobody has come forward as the recipient.
The so-called proof of delivery is nothing more than a photograph of a hand holding a parcel. There is no door number, no flat number, no building number, no entrance, and no identifying feature whatsoever that proves the parcel was delivered to my address.

What makes this even more frustrating is that this was not my first order with Childrensalon. They already had my correct delivery address and all my details saved on my account from previous successful orders. There was no new or incorrect address provided by me, so it is difficult to understand how they can simply rely on GPS data and claim the parcel was correctly delivered when there is no evidence that it reached me.
Despite this, Childrensalon considers the delivery successful and has refused both a refund and a replacement. Their only justification is GPS data showing that the driver was somewhere near the building. GPS does not prove that a £300 parcel was delivered to the correct person.
I am particularly disappointed by the complete lack of customer care. Rather than helping a returning customer who never received an expensive order, they immediately focused on avoiding responsibility.

If you are ordering low-value items, perhaps you are willing to take the risk. However, I would strongly advise against purchasing expensive items from this company. If your parcel goes missing, you may be left with no parcel, no refund, no replacement, and no meaningful support.
This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had.

Thank you for your reply. We understand your frustration, and we want to help clarify what occurred.

After checking the shipping record, we noted that the flat number provided at checkout was incomplete, which was confirmed when you first contacted us. DPD drivers are allowed to leave parcels in a safe place. In this case, the driver left the parcel with your neighbour because your flat number was not specified.

Our system prints labels exactly as entered at the checkout; we cannot accept responsibility for delivery issues resulting from an incomplete address.

However, we truly want to help you locate your items. We are more than happy to provide the DPD tracking data and GPS coordinates so you can share them with your building management.
Best wishes.

Beautiful products and a seamless returns process

I wanted to leave a positive review because, after placing my order, I came across some negative reviews about the returns process which made me quite anxious.

I purchased suits for my page boys from Childrensalon and, because I wasn’t sure on sizing, I ordered a few different options. Shortly after posting my returns back, I started worrying that I might have issues getting a refund, despite having carefully packed everything up and returned it in perfect condition.

I’m pleased to say my concerns were completely unfounded. The entire returns process was seamless and my refund was processed very quickly.

From start to finish, my experience with Childrensalon has been wonderful. The packaging was beautiful, the selection of products is absolutely stunning, and delivery was incredibly fast. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I can’t wait to see my little boy and nephew looking amazing in their outfits on my wedding day. Thank you for such a fantastic shopping experience.

Never was such low service

I was buying in CS over 13 years. And every year it was getting worse and worse. My last experience was terrific. I made order from 3 March and it was for special event. I got my order only by 20 March with 2 weeks delay!! Of course it came too late for the event.
I needed many times continuously to contact customer service, they promised to write back but never did, they talked to me irrelevant and not interested, when I was asking why they didn’t know what was with my parcel ( they did not know exactly missing documents for custom ) and I was claiming why they didn’t have custom lawyer to deal with docs, the customer service did not accept any fault and was telling me repeatedly “how many EU clients they have”, probably I needed to understand that they don’t care if they lose one.
My pack came with 2 weeks delay and during all this time Childrensalon completely did not monitor situation , they never knew anything exactly , naming randomly every time different documents missing. They even wanted that online buyer like me would give to online shop Power of Attorney to act on custom (?!). When I already got my pack they finally wrote to me but telling that pack is still on custom and that custom needs my ID ( so it proves they are incompetent and did not monitor the situation with problematic delivery . )
They even did not try/offer me in such situation to call parcel back and resend it again with all needed documents. No, they prefer to budget on lawyers, budget few dollars to re-send pack which they don’t know how to move from custom..
And it’s not first time when THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT CUSTOM NEEDS.

Prices are higher than by original brands, plus you pay 20% tax for EU orders and after all this you get irrelevant ignoring attitude, when the stuff points you that they don’t value you coz they have “lots of clients”

The item I picked cost £137 when I put it into the shopping bag. When I pay, it suddenly changed to over £200 and I can’t even request a refund. This is one of the items of my purchase, not to mention other items

Hello Carolyn,
I hope that you are very well.
I can see that you requested to cancel this order, and this has been arranged for you.
As you are based outside of the UK (shipping), we have to sell our items at the price advised by the brand in the country.
Not all of our items are priced in this way. When they are, this is the price that they have to be sold at, as mentioned, it is requested from the designer.
Looking back over your previous orders, I can see that the items you have chosen are not priced in such a way; this is why you would have seen no changes when you added your address details.
Do let me know if we can call, as I would love to have a chat and go into a bit more detail with you.
Take care, and our very best wishes

STAY AWAY FROM THIS RETAILER

I purchased clothing from this retailer for my children. They have refused to process my refund even after I sent their items back in the condition I got them in. They do not respond to emails. Their packaging is poor or non existent . Their delivery partner left my package outside and it was damaged. They refused to take responsibility or follow consumer law. Their reply below is nothing short of lies and deception in order to not refund. There is nothing luxury about them. Poor customer services and slow processing of orders, returns and refunds. STAY AWAY from them they will do whatever they can to not refund you. Their children’s clothes are unhygienic there are so many other places that provide better protection and good customer services. These people only make excuses for their incompetence

Dear Tamanah,

I hope you are very well.
I would like to provide a bit more information about this story and let you know why the refund has not been processed for two of the items you sent back from a total of 5.

Upon arrival of your parcel, you let us know that this item was missing:
Dolce & Gabbana
Boys Black & White Majolica Print Piqué Shirt - 4 years.
With anything like this, we will always check our CCTV as each packing station is installed with a camera above it to watch all orders being packed.
All boxes are lined with tissue paper, and the items are added inside the tissue.

We could see that this item was added to the order and was between other items, so to remove this would have meant that other items would need to be removed as well.
As part of the investigation, we asked you if anyone had unpacked the box for you, and you said no, there was not.

You also reported damage to the box upon arrival. Checking the Proof of Delivery (POD) from the courier, which shows a photo and the location of the delivery, we can see that there is a slight hole in the box we have reported to DPD.

The picture that you shared with us showed a dark brown stain on the box that looks like coffee. This does not match the image that has been supplied by the courier from the delivery.
You let us know that upon opening the box, the blue shirt, Dolce & Gabbana Boys Pale Blue Cotton DG Crest Logo Shirt - 4 years, which we can see from the CCTV packing images, was the last item to be packed, so the first item that would have been seen when the box was opened was stained.

Watching the CCTV and how the packer folds the item, we can see that the shirt was folded with the arms underneath the shirt, so if something was spilt onto the item, it would be expected that the stain would be at the front of the shirt. You let us know that the stain was in the arms of the shirt. The shirt was placed in the box collar side up, so this would have been the area that should have been stained, not at the bottom of the sleeve near the cuff. There was no staining on the collar or the front of the shirt.

Upon returning the item to us, the swing tag attached to this item was the swing tag from the item you had previously let us know was missing. Dolce & Gabbana swing tags are sealed, which means they cannot be reattached once they are cut. This swing tag was not only for the wrong item, but it was also glued together where the seal had been cut.
The second item was a pair of Childrensalon trousers - Childrensalon Occasions Boys Blue Cotton Chino Trousers - 4 years.
These were returned to us with signs of wear and with a swing tag attached that is from a brand we have never stocked. So, we were unable to accept these as a return
As neither item complies with our returns policy, we are not able to accept them for a refund.

I can see that on the 2nd January, we sent you a return label for the blue shirt so that we could get this back from you from the parcel that was delivered to you on the 31st December 2025.
We also let you know that the item you mentioned was missing from the order and was under investigation.
With all items, swing tags are very important as they show the authenticity of the item, and you then know that it has been sent to us directly from the brand.

This is the same for our returns, as we need to know the items being returned are in immaculate condition with the tags attached.

So, to conclude, this is why we have been unable to accept these items for a return and refund.
Best wishes,
Childrensalon Team.

Return RB881595 Childrensalon have…

Return RB881595 Childrensalon have taken my money and I’ve received no goods, refund or any further communication to the information I’ve given you.
I returned the above order on the 8th November asking for the items to be exchanged for a different size in the hope I would give them to my daughter (who is expecting) for Christmas.
I used your returns label and provided tracking details that the parcel was on the way to you. I provided the confirmation via the Royal Mail app. My understanding is this has not been received by you.
I have had several contact exchanges with your company and my most recent is with Charlotte at Customer Care.
She received all the information saying you would investigate this.
You have cancelled my request for an exchange order and have provided me with no satisfactory outcome to receiving an exchange or refund.
In addition, regardless of further communication to you by myself I have requested Charlotte to advise me what is happening and I have received no further communication.
My bank has advised me that using a prepaid returns label provided by you. You the retailer are responsible for the package under the consumer rights act and I should have received an exchange or refund.
The response to my return request has been unsatisfactory and does not meet the standards required under the Consumer Rights Act. I am asking for the return of the money I have paid you within the next 48hrs.
