Black Friday Scam

They promoted an offer on Black Friday but cancelled my order and said my products were no longer in stock. Complete scam. This was a Christmas gift and I had to wait 3 weeks for refund and terrible customer service from them.

Dear Customer,

We are truly sorry to read your feedback and sincerely regret the situation you experienced, as well as the disappointment it has caused.

As explained in our email dated December 17th, your initial order was unfortunately lost by the carrier during transit. In such cases, we normally offer either a reshipment or a refund, depending on the customer’s preference.

However, the items you had selected were no longer available, which unfortunately made a replacement shipment impossible. For this reason, we proceeded with a full refund.

We fully understand your frustration, especially given that your order was intended as a Christmas gift, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, as well as for the delay in processing your refund.

This situation remains highly unusual and does not reflect the level of service we are committed to providing. Your feedback has been carefully noted and will contribute to our ongoing efforts to improve both our logistics and customer experience.

Our Customer Care team remains at your disposal and will be pleased to assist you. Please do not hesitate to contact us at onlinesales@baobabcollection.com.

Kind regards,
Baobab Collection Customer Care Team

Very terrible service

Very terrible service. If you don't need to buy this brand, don't do it. There are better than that. For last 1 month I have been waiting for the order, always explanations....no finding solutions. Santa Clause gifts passed and I don't have gifts for which I Pais and didn't buy anything else. The company doesn't care at all about it. The answer is walys: we monitor the situation.

Very Disappointing Service and Unprofessional Handling

I placed a large order of 65 candles and made it very clear from the outset that timely delivery was critical. Despite assurances from their advisor, the order was delayed and I had to chase repeatedly for updates. In the end, I had to personally hire a driver at a cost of €300 to collect the heavy order myself. Without my outreach, the delivery would not even have arrived.

When I raised this with the company, I was told that “every effort” had been made to ensure timely delivery. I requested proof of these efforts and an explanation of where updates had been communicated, but to date I have received no evidence. Worse still, after following up again, my email was ignored completely.

The handling of this order caused significant disruption, and the only “compensation” offered was a 160gr candle. To frame this as a favour is unprofessional and dismissive.

Their refusal to reimburse the additional costs I incurred, coupled with the lack of accountability and ignored emails, is appalling behaviour. This is not what I would expect from a luxury brand.

I will never buy from them again and would caution others to consider this experience before placing an order.

Final Complaint

Final Complaint – Order [Ref 25016698]

Dear Baobab Customer Service,

After four emails and more than six weeks of repeated mistakes, I am extremely disappointed with the way your company has handled my order and my complaint.

I have given Baobab every possible opportunity to resolve this issue in a professional manner. Instead, I have received nothing but generic apologies and a refund that does not even begin to compensate for the time, frustration, and disappointment caused. What was supposed to be a thoughtful gift turned into a month and a half of delays, empty promises, and complete lack of accountability.

This is not the service of a premium brand. In fact, it is the exact opposite: careless handling, no real responsibility, and no respect for the customer’s experience.

At this point, I am done giving your company additional chances. I will not be purchasing from Baobab again, and I will make sure to share my experience publicly so that other customers are aware of how complaints are treated.

You had every chance to turn this situation around with a genuine solution and a meaningful apology, but unfortunately, Baobab has shown it is unwilling to take responsibility.

Kind regards,
Thijs Smit

Parcel lost, no compensation!

My parcel was lost by the delivery service and neither them nor Baobab are willing to reimburse me! I am now left without my order and without any money in return! Absolutely beyond disappointing from a big company like Baobab! One would think that the customer service for these VERY expensive products would be up to tier, unfortunately that is not the case! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!

DISRESPECTFULL CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM

I placed my order on December 10th 2022. After 3 weeks with no email, no calls, I emailed them like 5-6 times but they don't even reply.
After 1 month of waiting, I communicated with them on Instagram, they responded they will send refund within that day. Until now, nothing arrived, they only "seen" my messages and emails, leaving no useful information about the order. It's like they do it on purpose. I basically lost money, and they don't even care to help refunding. Not only they RUINED MY XMAS, THEY ALSO SHOWED HOW DISRESPECTFULL THEY ARE TO THE CLIENTS.

Want to buy luxury candles at this price??? Go to Trudon, Byredo, anywhere except this horrible brand.
