Great customer support from Jemma

I had an issue with a Paul Smith hoodie I bought over the summer. I raised the issue with the Paul Smith customer service department & liaised with a member of the team called Jemma.

Jemma responded to my email quickly, was extremely polite & friendly & resolved the issue with a minimum of fuss.

I thought Jemma was a great ambassador for Paul Smith.

I really like Paul / Paul Smith clothes & I hope to buy lots of his garments in the years ahead.

Loyal 40 year customer lost forever

I have been a loyal customer of this brand for nearly 40 years spending what must be thousands of pounds in that time but the treatment I have received after the recent purchase of an incredibly expensive suitcase which failed after just one flight, despite a 'lifetime guarantee' means I not only have to write this review but I can no longer consider purchasing from the brand.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

I have reviewed your correspondence with our team and have familiarised myself with your issue. I can see that the damage sustained to your case is not the result of a manufacturing fault but rather the way it has been handled on your recent flight. As such, the suitcase has not failed inasmuch as it has been damaged by mishandling. This has been verified by our own production team as well as that of RAWROW, the manufacturer.

We would like to emphasise that this should not have happened, but as it is not due to a manufacturing fault, we cannot accept a return in this instance. We very much appreciate that this is disappointing and as such, have advised you to reach out to the airline you flew with, citing the Montreal Convention, which addresses such issues.

We always do our utmost to help our customers, especially ones as loyal as yourself, and it would be such a shame for you to turn your back on us over this issue. I can see that my colleague has urged you to reach out to the airline as soon as possible, as delaying this may make a claim more difficult. I very much hope that you are successful in this claim.

Kindest regards,
Paul Smith Customer Experience

When I entered your Mayfair store from the door at the corner there was 1 male employee inside the space. He didn’t look up from his phone and didn’t say hello and of course did not ask what I wanted. Further on I found a very nice young lady who helped me to find the right sweater.
When I left the shop through the same door the guy was still occupied with his phone. No good buy, no thank you for visiting- nothing. Very disgusting.

Good morning, Uli,

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

I’m sorry to hear that your recent experience in our store wasn't the most positive. I have passed on your feedback to the manager of our Mayfair store to investigate this. We always want to make sure that our customers feel welcomed and attended to as soon as possible.

I am pleased to hear that you then received good service from another member of staff who was able to help you find what you were looking for. I very much hope that any future store visits are much more in keeping with this.

If there is ever anything that we can do to be of assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience team, and we will be happy to help.

Kindest regards,

I’ve been shopping at this store for over 40 years (since my teenage days) so coming back into the store as an overseas visitor all the excitement and nostalgia came flooding back to me. To be greeted by Roger’s warm, courteous service was a blessing. I walked into the Covent Garden store for a browse and walked out with 6 beautiful items and was so happy with my purchases. To Roger, thank you for your great customer service and style advice and laughs. You are really good at what you do. And to Callum, thank you for being Roger’s side kick.

Ordered a bag fo my wife as a present

Ordered a bag fo my wife as a present, unfortunately the strap was too short for her liking.
Due to being late relative to the return period a normal refund was possible, however a voucher was given upon return even though they were not obliged to it.
Great service the whole way through.

Long time customer of PS. Love the design and quality of all his products, especially the luggage line, leather goods and men’s accessories. Great service on-line as usual. Speedy delivery and beautiful packaging. I used the (Harper) ‘try before you buy’ service which was exemplary.
