Excellent Service

We both purchased a raincoat from cotton traders shop in Dobbies garden centre in Shepreth today. The lady who served us was excellent. She helped with the sizing of the product, she had a very good knowledge of the items we were looking at. All in all it was a very enjoyable shop and we would like to say a big thank you to Amanda who was the assistant.

A new experience of click and collect

Products are great, my husband loves his new chinos . I had this parcel delivered to a Cotton Traders shop for the first time , I only got a message to say that the items had been dispatched, I had to phone the shop to find out if they had arrived which they had two days earlier the whole process of click and collect took far longer than having a delivery , will think twice before using click and collect again.
The shop staff were good and my parcel was found quickly.They were not at fault it seems the system was.

Don’t bother- no customer care!

First time purchase from here and won’t be purchasing again! Placed order online, had a discount code added to basket and total price was correct at time of pressing ‘pay now’ but was charged £10 more from my bank account than advertised on the payment screen. Reported to customer services and was issued a refund of the discount code straight away. However, when I went to place the same order again a week later to get a different size, the same issue happened again! Reported to customer services again, gentleman I spoke to this time was quite rude and dismissive, said it was the first he’d heard of it despite me telling him I’d already reported it the previous week. This time I was told to call back to get my refund as my order hadn’t processed yet which is inconvenient as the time before it was almost instantly processed. When I came to take the original order back to store, the lady on the till said she could see I had already discussed returning the item and that my refund would be on the way. I explained to her that I hadn’t discussed a return but I had gotten a partial refund for a discount code but she shrugged me off and sent me on my way without actually issuing me a refund. I phoned customer service again a few days later to query it (4th time now) as I’d had no information regarding the return and I was told that the money should have been refunded to my card in store, but I’d have to wait a few days to see if my items turned up back at the warehouse via post. I then phoned in another few days, this time to be told that the information I was given was incorrect and my items would definitely be on their way back to the warehouse via post and I just had to wait (an undisclosed amount of time) for them to arrive so that my refund could be issued. After around 10 days following my in store return experience, I phoned customer services AGAIN (6th time now) and explained the situation just one more time… on this occasion I was issued a refund but with little to no apology or explanation from the customer service representative. Much to my disgust, I have had my phone bill come through this week, only to find that each call (yes all 6 of them) have been charged at a premium! 6 times I had to call this company, 2 of them for exactly the same issue that I raised a week prior, and 4 of them just to get a refund for goods that I did not have in my possession and had not had in my possession for 10 days. In total, those phone calls have cost me £30 out of my own pocket. Shocking and useless customer service team and website, I feel guilty that the older demographic are known to be the target market here who are likely more vulnerable than me and perhaps would not notice or challenge these kind of issues. Shameful, absolutely will not bother to order or purchase in store ever again. I sincerely apologise that you asked for my honest trust pilot review, it’s a shame really as this took a good 5 minutes of my time!

Hello

I am very sorry to hear of your recent experience with Cotton Traders and the issues regarding the promotional code. We have attempted to call you today to discuss this further but have unfortunately not been unable to reach you.
Upon checking, we can see that the A959 code which was applied to the orders does not offer a discount. We would however like to clarify some further information so this can be investigated with our marketing team so please will you call us back on 0161 286 4321 at your earliest convenience.
In relation to your phone bill, please will you send us a copy of this via email showing the charges. Our email address is customerservice@cottontraders.com
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and we look forward to hearing from you.

regards

Jennie

Ladies cotton shirts.

I ordered several shirts on a panic buy just before my holiday, all arrived in good time, I liked them all and use these cotton shirts all the time.
I often go to my local store at Dobbies Garden centre in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, who are always helpful.

Cotton Traders staff are brilliant!

We regularly visit our local Cotton Traders store at Dobbies, Royston. We buy most of our leisurewear from there, as the staff are always so pleasant and helpful, particularly when we are not too sure of which size and colour we want for items! Tracey and her colleagues are always so welcoming and I cannot praise them enough.
