AWFUL company

AWFUL company. Do NOT order anything from them.
I placed an order on 26th July. Heard nothing for weeks. I then cancelled the order but it arrived on 1st September.
I tried to return the order but the returns portal said I was out of the returns window which I was not. I emailed and was told the returns portal was undergoing maintenance and I would be able to return the order. I have been requesting instructions on how to return the order and have my refund but am no longer getting replies. Possibly the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

We’re very sorry for the delay with your order and the difficulty you’ve had arranging a return. We understand your frustration.

We’ve emailed you to arrange a manual return, as the returns portal has not worked for you, but we haven’t received a reply. Please respond to our latest emails so we can provide the return instructions and move your refund forward. We’re sorry this has taken so long.

White Floral Table Lamp

I ordered a table lamp, and received an email shortly afterwards informing me unfortunately, the last two lamps in stock were damaged. The company gave me two choices-wait around four weeks for restock to arrive or full refund. I waited for the lamp to come back in stock. Customer service very good. Kept informed of progress, carrier etc., until it got here. Pleased I waited it’s a pretty lamp & shade.

Withdrew discount

I wanted to place an order for a superking bed which was £6,655 reduced to£3,194.40. The bed didn't come with the floating divan and I had queried if this could be reduced given that I was purchasing 2 items together. Laura emailed me and confirmed that the cost could be reduced by 10% if I was purchasing the floating divan and superking bed togther and asked if I wanted to place the order on Friday 4th September 2026 14:51. I responded on Friday 4th September at exactly 15:00 confirming that I wanted to go ahead with the order at the offered price. I noticed over the weekend that the bed had went back up to £3,993. I didn't think anything of it and thought the reduced price would still be offered, given that I had started this query back on 28th August. On Monday morning (7th September), Laura emailed to say they would no longer be giving the reduced price as the bed was no longer in the sale. I feel this is totally unfair, it was not my fault that your replies were so slow that you couldn't put the order through quick enough. I responded in good time. £3,500 is a lot of money and if you don't need it then I'll be sure to go elsewhere as Pavillion Broadway were much quicker in responding to my emails.

We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused, especially as you replied promptly to confirm you wanted to go ahead.

Our sale ended before the order was placed, and we’re unable to honour the previous price as doing so would mean selling at a loss. We understand this is disappointing, and we apologise that the timing and our communication left you expecting the earlier price.

We’re sorry your delivery has been postponed twice. We understand your concern about the table having passed through two depots, and we apologise for the poor experience with our third-party courier.

Please let us know if there are any issues when it arrives so we can help.

Very poor service

The delivery of my table was cancelled twice at very short notice. In each case, the courier told me the table was not there when they went to collect it. When it was finally delivered, the white glove service I had paid an extra £50 for was not provided. This company is very good at sending nice customer service emails but they do not appear to be competent. I complained a week ago and they said they would look into it. I have heard nothing more.

Don't buy anything from them

Don't buy anything from them. I bought a ceramic lamp base for GBP110 and I regret that.

First they needed a lot of time to send the item to me. 10 days, maybe even more. When I received a lamp base, it was broken.

I contacted their support, they told me to open a return case, and when I did that they rejected my return. By their unfair policies, customers have one day to open a case and return the item if it is delivered broken.

Item was not well packed and they didn't even put a single "fragile" sticker on the box. I lost a bunch of money, don't be like me and don't buy anything from them.

Very expensive, poor quality, and disappointing customer service

Very expensive, poor quality, and disappointing customer service
I’m very disappointed with my purchase. The sofa was very expensive, but it is not the same as shown in the pictures. The sofa is very hard and uncomfortable, and the quality is much worse than I expected for the price.

I also ordered a shelf unit, but they sent me a cheaper and completely different item in the wrong package.

The worst part is the customer service. Despite receiving the wrong product and a sofa that does not match the advertised pictures, they refuse to exchange the items or provide a refund.

For the price I paid, I expected much better quality and service. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company. Very disappointing experience

If only zero stars was an option…

At first glance, House of Isabella presents itself as a premium retailer with a sophisticated, professional-looking website. Unfortunately, my experience revealed that beneath the polished appearance lies a maze of small print and policies that seem designed to protect the company rather than help customers.

A perfect example is their use of the word "Outlet" discreetly tagged onto the end of a product description. Most customers would understandably assume this is simply a category or promotional label. What it actually means is that the item is non-returnable, a crucial detail that isn't made clear on the product page itself and is instead buried 747 words deep within their delivery and returns policy. By the time you discover this, it's too late.

Customer service was equally frustrating when discussing the product I received. The colour shown online differed significantly from the item delivered, yet when this was raised the response seemed to ignore the obvious discrepancy. It felt as though the company had suddenly developed a case of selective colour blindness, insisting that what was in front of me somehow matched the website images despite the clear difference.

My overall impression is of a business that relies heavily on terms, conditions and technicalities whenever a customer raises a legitimate concern. Rather than focusing on fairness and customer satisfaction, the experience felt like a constant exercise in deflecting responsibility.

If you're considering purchasing from House of Isabella, my advice would be simple: don’t!! I don’t know who Isabella is but my advice is to give her house a very wide berth.

Order Ref: WEB262336

Update following response from House of Isabella (and their attempt to silence me).

For clarity, my review acknowledged that the term OUTLET was tagged to the end of the product title. My issue relates to what this term actually means for the customer which, as I said, is buried at the bottom of a 747 word Delivery and Returns policy. If transparency is such a priority for you, then your product title should be a lot clearer - e.g. SALE ITEM - SOLD AS SEEN NO RETURNS instead of the far more ambiguous term, OUTLET.

As for the discrepancies on the colour of the item, I just wish Trustpilot had the option to post images so that we could let your customers (and potential customers) decide.

I stand by every word and hope this helps others avoid the same trap I have found myself in.

Reply from House of Isabella

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have been left disappointed with your experience, and we would like to take the opportunity to provide some further context and clarification regarding your order.

Firstly, we take transparency with our customers very seriously, particularly when it comes to our Outlet collection. All products sold as part of this collection have “OUTLET” clearly included within the product title, rather than this information only appearing within our general terms and conditions or returns policy. The individual product description also explains that Outlet items may include customer returns or ex-display stock and, for this reason, are offered for sale on a final-sale basis.

We appreciate that customers do not always read an entire delivery and returns policy before placing an order, which is precisely why the Outlet status is not solely contained within that policy. It is identified in the product name itself and further information regarding the nature of Outlet stock is provided within the product description. We make this information available before purchase so that customers can make an informed decision about whether an Outlet item is suitable for them.

We would also like to address your comments regarding the colour of the product received. When you raised this concern with our Customer Service team, it was not dismissed or ignored. Instead, the matter was referred to our Product Team so that it could be reviewed by colleagues with specific knowledge of the product and its listing. Following their review and comparison with the product imagery, the team confirmed that they considered the colour of the item received to be a match to the product advertised and could not identify a difference that would indicate that an incorrect product or colour had been supplied.

We completely understand that colours can sometimes appear slightly different depending on lighting, surroundings, screen settings and how an image is viewed. However, when a concern such as this is raised, we believe the appropriate course of action is to investigate it rather than simply make an assumption. That is what we did in this instance, and the response provided to you was based on the findings of our Product Team.

We are therefore disappointed by the suggestion that our policies are designed to “deflect responsibility” or that important information was deliberately hidden from you. We work hard to provide customers with clear product information and fair terms, while also ensuring that the conditions attached to Outlet products are communicated before an order is placed. Our Customer Service team also took the time to investigate the specific concern you raised rather than disregarding it.

We recognise that you remain unhappy with the outcome, and we are genuinely sorry that your purchase did not meet your expectations. While we cannot always provide the resolution a customer is hoping for, we will always aim to handle concerns professionally, review the information available to us and provide an outcome based on the circumstances of the individual order.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review how information is presented across our website to ensure our customers have the clearest possible shopping experience.

Excellent customer service

I purchased 2 bedside tables. The quality of which are excellent. Was notified when they were going to delivered and arrived on time. I was very impressed with the standard of the packaging. I had one very minor issue relating to the thread on one of the leg studs. Customer service was excellent and sent out a complete new set. I will definitely purchase from House of Isabella in the future.
