Quality products

This will be my third order with Indi-dog, I have 2 husky’s and have tried other harnesses and as frustrating as the long wait time is to receive your order you just can’t beat the quality, the choices of styles and colours. The reason for 4 stars is the wait time, otherwise it would be 5. Others have mentioned issues with communication from the seller but that hasn’t been the case for myself. The delay in receiving your order is a small price to pay for the quality of these harnesses, I wouldn’t use anything else for my 2.

Excellent quality

I have just received a harness and it is excellent quality. There’s a range of choice on the website so I could pick colours to match the things we already have.
It took 7 weeks to arrive so yes, slightly longer than initially expected however for the price and quality of the harness I’m pleased overall.

DO NOT USE THEM

DO NOT USE THEM! they take peoples money and run, we will be reporting them to trade and standards, anyone who wants to join a legal case against them feel free to help out!

Maybe this will help make her mind up if she wants to run a business or not. (stop using family as an excuse, people have kids day in and day out you are not the first person to have kids and run a business. Either run a business or close your doors!)

Unresponsive and No Product Recieved

Ordered two items from them in December 2019, one was a standard harness while the other was a leash with a SafeSnap that required a 6 week turnaround. It is now May 2020 and still have not recieved my order. Emails and messages to the company has not been replied.

Poor customer service

UPDATE: The company appears to have sent my order out, 8 and a half weeks after purchase. This was after I opened a paypal dispute.

I don't like writing negative reviews for companies, but unfortunately I feel as though I have no choice in this case. I first ordered from Indi Dog in April 2014 and had absolutely zero issues with them. Delivery was prompt, customer service was excellent and the items were of excellent quality and craftsmanship.

My second to last order was on March 31st 2019. I received this order on 21 May 2019, so roughly 7 weeks from ordering. The company advises 6 weeks from ordering to receiving the items, so although a little late, I was fine with it. The item was of excellent quality and I was pleased with it. So I decided to order a second harness on 28th November 2019. I waited 8 weeks, giving the company a little leeway due to the Christmas period. But after 8 weeks and having had zero communication from the seller on the status of my order and the order still showing as 'processed' on the website, I decided to get in touch with the seller via Paypal to ensure a record of our communication and the ability to escalate the issue if needed, particularly as other reviews on the facebook page indicated that the company seems to ignore private emails from customers.

Within a few hours of sending my message, my order status was changed from 'processed' to 'reversed' which indicates that there is somebody from the company monitoring the website. And despite the company cancelling my order, I have not had any sort of response from them or refund. Nor did I ask the company to cancel my order, I simply stated that I had been waiting over 8 weeks for my order and yet it was still showing as 'processed' on the website.

It's a huge shame, because the company makes wonderful, high quality products and at one point in time, also had great customer service. But the customer service at present is shocking and frankly, not worth the hassle. I understand that running a business is difficult and can be stressful, but communication with your customers when you are not meeting waiting times posted on your website is absolutely vital. Had the company contacted me after the 6 week point with an update on how long my order would realistically take, I would have had no problems waiting several more weeks.

Unless Indi Dog drastically changes its customer service policy for the better, I will not order from them again and will no longer recommend the company to others.

Excellent product, customer service not great.

I have mixed feelings writing this review because I would like to give 5 stars for the product as it is one of the best out there but the time it takes to receive the item and the poor communication from the seller really lets them down. I had similar issues with the last order I placed and although I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, I experienced the same communication difficulties again - unanswered phone calls and no responses to emails. Although I eventually received the item, it was later than the already long lead time of 6 weeks. It's a real shame because as mentioned earlier, the dog harnesses are excellent quality but the communication process needs a complete overhaul.

Months down the line and no item…

Months down the line and no item received. I echo what others have written, Although I received a response within a few hours when I had a query before purchase, I have been trying to contact the company for weeks for an update on my order and have had no update or response. The phone rings through and emails are not answered, I will be forced to raise a Paypal dispute

Terrible customer service, never sends products

Honestly, I hate to do this but I have to leave a bad review so others don't waste their time and money. The product is excellent and I love the two harnesses I have. But I got them through a U.S. distributor at the time. This last order I ordered direct from the owner because she is no longer using a distributor and it has been over 3 months without receiving my items. I have opened a PayPal dispute and hope to get a full refund. It's a real shame because no one else is offering the same quality of product but if she cannot produce the items in a reasonable time frame or state up front that there is a 3 month lag time, she needs to stop taking money upfront for orders and start a wait list instead or something.

Do not order from this company

Do not order from this company. I am currently going through a PayPal dispute to try and get my money back as after almost two months I have no product and the company has not responded to any of my messages. I have tried contacting them via several different means and I know they are aware of this as a friend of mine has communicated with them via Facebook. They said they would get back to me the following day, which was over a week ago.

I really wish I had looked at the reviews on here before ordering. This company should not be operating.

I finally received my harness today after numerous weeks of waiting!

After numerous weeks of waiting (more than six weeks), I was very concerned due to not receiving my harness so I opened up a PayPal dispute. I lost hope and thought it was a scam until today when my harness finally came through. I am so pleased with it and it was definitely worth the wait. I would rate it 5 stars however due to the amount of time I was waiting, I have only given it 4. My dog loves it! Thank you Indi Dog!

Have only just found these responses…

Have only just found these responses and am kicking myself for not looking BEFORE ordering as like all other responses ordered in September - money taken and nothing since despite several emails, phone calls will have to try to get money refunded. TERRIBLE COMPANY/SERVICE and am deffo reporting them to trading standards - its fraud.

Dont buy

I don’t like to give bad reviews but if this company is still taking people’s money and not sending out orders I think I have to say something. I am currently going through a PayPal resolution as I had one communication and didn’t send item when promised. I was prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt over their reason for not sending my item but it would have been nice to have been informed what was going on instead of just saying nothing. Such a shame.

Never received order for 3 harnesses…

Never received order for 3 harnesses and was fobbed off by lies and excuses. Was told several times they would be delivered on certain dates but they were never posted. After 11 weeks got a refund through Paypal Resolution Centre as seller never answered their communications with her. I do not recommend this company in any way the frustration with trying to follow up the order is just not worth what might have been a good result. Money is taken up front when you make the order which is bad form when seller knows they cannot complete within a reasonable period of time.

SCAM

Haven't received my order in over 3 months. Tried to contact the seller multiple times but they never responded. I have opened a dispute with PayPal to get a full refund. Do not order from this website! This 'business' needs to shut down.

Disaster communication

I got order near to 3 month ago and they didn’t send it yet, I tried to communicate with them many times but unfortunately they didn’t answer me by email and phone.
I have to complain against them.
Please don’t trust them.

I did not receive the product in over 3 months, had to open a PayPal claim to get my money back. Prior to opening the claim I tried reaching out to the seller via mail, contact form and Facebook chat without real success. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE! I wouldn't have minded waiting for the product if the Indi-Dog team/person would have communicated to me a real delivery date/status and would have been reachable to my very reasonable tries to connect, with this lack of response it all seemed like a scam.

No communication at all

I don’t know what is going on, but there is zero communication from them. I’ve messaged, emailed and tried to phone and had no response. No posts on Facebook since July, so maybe something has happened, but why not let customers know?

Terrible with communication and although i was told over 6 weeks ago my items were being shipped i have yet to receive a tracking number or my harnesses. I sent an email for a cancellation and refund as i highly doubt it'd even been sent and have been ignored. Guess I'm just out the money i paid so do yourself a favor and avoid the struggle.
