Tyler provided outstanding support

Tyler provided outstanding support. He updated my delivery address quickly and ensured everything was corrected in time for dispatch. His communication was clear, courteous, and genuinely pleasant. A great example of excellent customer care.

Absolutely appalling company

Absolutely appalling company. I ordered an item which stated that it would take 1 week. I received the first half of my item two weeks later and have yet to receive the remainder of my order and it’s been almost a month. Communication is awful. They take days to reply to your email and when they do they are absolutely useless. They ring you and then claim they can’t hear you, or just hang up!! My order still hasn’t come in full and they still can’t tell me when it will do! All they offered to give me was the delivery fee of 5 pounds. No offer of any compensation or discount of any kind. I found them a little rude on the email to be honest. Avoid this company like the plague!! I will be taking this further.

Good morning, Tanecia,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you've had with your order. We completely understand why you are frustrated, particularly as the order was originally advertised with a much shorter delivery timeframe and, more than a month later, you are still waiting for the outstanding baskets to complete your order.

We appreciate that receiving only part of your order, while continuing to wait without a confirmed dispatch date, is extremely disappointing. We also understand your concerns regarding the communication you've received. While we have attempted to contact you by phone on a number of occasions, we recognise that these conversations were not always successful and that this has added to your frustration.

We can confirm that:

Your storage unit has been delivered and assembled.
The four outstanding baskets remain pending dispatch.
A refund of your delivery charge (£4.99) has been approved.
Your order is currently progressing through processing, although we do not yet have confirmed tracking information to provide.
We have noted your request for compensation beyond the delivery refund, and this remains under review once the final outcome of the order is known.

We appreciate that the delays caused by our warehouse relocation do not lessen the inconvenience you have experienced, and we are sorry that we have not been able to provide the certainty and updates you expected.

We note that you have agreed to allow a further two weeks for the outstanding baskets to arrive and that you wish to retain the storage unit regardless of the outcome. If the baskets remain undelivered after this agreed period, we will review the matter further, including the options available regarding the outstanding items.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delays, communication issues, and disappointment caused. We will continue to monitor the order and provide updates as soon as further information becomes available.

Kind regards
Milissa Jansen

Won’t give you your money back

Ordered the Shiro outdoor sofa, chairs and coffee table. I know I was in for a wait as advised by the website, but it even went past the estimated date. I had to contact them, no updates and they had been paid in full upon order. When the furniture arrived, it had clearly been opened before. One cushion was no longer vacuum packed like the others and the box had lots of extra tape on it. There was dents and damage to the items. I decided I want to return it. And here’s the fun bit. They made me wait 2 weeks before they would arrange collection. I had to wait for the product team to review it. Not sure why as I didn’t want to keep the products. It has finally been collected 12 days ago….no refund. Awful company to deal with. Never again! Quick to take your money and then won’t give it back.

Bad experience but good customer service

We had a very bad experience with Laura James whereby we had ordered a table for a wedding event. It arrived 3 weeks late and broken - with a replacement table not ready until the new year.

Whilst this raises wider issues at Laura James (and we will not be shopping there again) I cannot fault their customer service at all. In particular Leeroy, the customer service to come to an effective resolution was second to none and the team made a terrible situation a lot less stressful. The 3 stars represents the overall experience but the customer service was 5 stars.

First class service from Laura James

I am really impressed with the service from Laura James. I would like to give a special mention to Joshua Benjamin; when I called looking for specific measurements for the inside of the sideboard I was ordering, he went away and got them specifically for me within 24 hours, even including a diagram in the email. First class service, I am looking forward to my sideboard arriving.
