Feedback Regarding Recent In-Store Experience

Dear Customer Service Team,

I am writing as a returning customer who has been shopping at your store for many years. I’ve generally had positive experiences, and the staff have usually been very helpful and friendly, which is why I felt disappointed enough to share this recent experience.

During my recent visit, I was not aware of the policy limiting customers to six items in the fitting room. To clarify, all of the items I initially decided to try were placed in the fitting room by your staff. While I was trying them on, I needed to compare a few pieces in different sizes or colors. In some cases, staff members helped me retrieve those items.

At one point, I realized I needed a smaller size for one of the pieces I was trying. The staff member who had been helping me earlier was assisting another customer at the time, so I stepped out to quickly look for the smaller size myself. At that point, the store manager suddenly approached me in a rather rude manner and said, “You cannot have more than 6 pieces.” She then followed me to the fitting room and asked to remove some items. I cooperated and handed back several pieces that I no longer needed.

At that point, I still had only four items left that I was deciding between (in different colors/sizes), in addition to three pieces I had already decided to purchase. Less than five minutes later, she returned and again asked if she could take more items away. I said no, as I was still deciding. Shortly after, the staff member who helped me earlier came over, and the manager immediately began discussing the situation with her in a low voice nearby, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I understand and respect that the store may have fitting room policies and may not want customers keeping too many items at once. I am always happy to return pieces I no longer need. However, this situation could have been handled in a much more polite and customer-friendly manner. Typically, your staff have been courteous and respectful, which I greatly appreciate.

I don’t often have much time to shop, and when I do visit, I tend to purchase multiple items and spend time carefully trying things on. This experience made me feel unwelcome and unfairly scrutinized. If this is how customers are treated, I would reconsider returning to the store in the future.

That said, I do want to acknowledge that the other staff members were kind and helpful during my visit, particularly the staff member who helped me find the best match for a difficult color. I truly appreciated her assistance.

I hope this feedback is helpful and that future customers will have a more welcoming experience.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with us, and for your continued loyalty over the years. We truly value customers like you, and I’m sorry to hear that this visit did not meet the standard you’ve come to expect from our store.

I appreciate you explaining the situation in such detail. While we do have fitting room guidelines in place to ensure a smooth experience for all customers, it’s clear that in this instance the policy was not communicated effectively, and more importantly, was not handled with the level of courtesy and professionalism we strive for. I’m very sorry that the interaction left you feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Your feedback regarding the manager’s approach has been taken seriously and will be addressed internally. We are reinforcing with our team the importance of clear communication and respectful, customer-focused service at all times. Situations like this should always be handled with understanding and discretion.

I’m glad to hear that other members of our team were helpful during your visit, particularly the staff member who assisted you with finding the right colour. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to her.

We sincerely hope this experience will not deter you from visiting us again. Your time and trust mean a great deal to us, and we would welcome the opportunity to provide you with the positive experience you’ve consistently had in the past.

Kind regards, Whistles Customer Care

Worst customer service I have come across

I recently purchased a jacket from Whistles and have been extremely disappointed with both the product quality and the customer service experience.
the jacket arrived with creases that simply won’t come out, and one of the buttons is already hanging off. When I initially contacted customer service, I was told the creasing was due to how I was caring for the jacket and that I should arrange repairs myself, which felt dismissive and unhelpful.
I was then informed that I couldn’t return the item to a store and would instead need to post it to their repair agent. However, no suitable packaging is provided, meaning I’m expected to source that myself. This adds unnecessary inconvenience to an already frustrating situation.
What’s been most disappointing is the time and effort I’ve had to spend trying to resolve this. I’ve received incorrect and, at times, contradictory information, and despite multiple emails, it feels like my concerns still haven’t been properly understood. This isn’t about the cost, it’s about the inconvenience and lack of clear, consistent support.
I have since requested a refund, but this has been ignored.
Overall, this experience has left me very disappointed. Poor product quality combined with poor customer service is not what I expected

Hi Harry,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the condition your jacket arrived in and the frustration you’ve encountered while trying to resolve this.

What you’ve described is not the standard we aim to deliver, either in product quality or customer service. The issues with the creasing and loose button should have been addressed more supportively, and we apologise that our initial responses felt dismissive and placed the burden on you.

We also recognise that the returns and repair process was not clearly explained and created unnecessary inconvenience. Providing inconsistent information and requiring you to arrange packaging yourself is not acceptable, and we understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after multiple attempts to get help.

Your request for a refund should have been handled promptly, and we’re sorry that it appears to have been overlooked. We would like to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.

Please contact us directly at enquiries@whistles.co.uk with your order number, or send us a private message so we can prioritise your case, arrange the return properly, and ensure your refund is processed without further delay.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise again for the experience you’ve had.

Kind regards, Whistles Customer Care
