Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 84 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the quality of the clothing, finding it stylish, well-made, and offering good value, especially during sales. The 'try before you buy' service is frequently highlighted as a game-changer, allowing people to order multiple sizes and items to try on at home without immediate payment, which is particularly helpful given the unpredictable sizing. However, some customers also noted significant issues with customer service, including unresponsiveness, difficulties with refunds, and a lack of support for product problems. There are also concerns about order fulfillment, with some experiencing long delays in dispatch or refunds, and others receiving items that did not match the website's description or were of poor quality.

Dreadful service

Ordered 9 days ago and delivery was supposed to be 5 working days. Received an email to confirm my order and nothing since.
When I made contact to find out what was happened I was told it would be within 5-7 days as per the confirmation email, but still no sign of the coat even being despatched. No replies received to my follow up emails (and just no response to online chat either).
To summarise, dreadful customer service.
This was my first order with French Connection and will probably be my last.
Wish I had read the other reviews on here before ordering.

French Connection return

Firstly got order wrong; different colour to what was requested. Secondly ask for return have to go back and forth with emails. Told label were attached when there weren't. Despite requesting post office QR code to return.
Need to review there return procedure, especially as they made the error. Should not be down to me to keep on rectifying French Connection mistakes.

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service, it is impossible to get in touch, they do not reply to mails and the live chat doesn’t work, the delivery of my order is incredibly late and I don’t know where my parcel is at the moment because also the tracking provided is not working. Absurd..

Shop FCUK on-line

FCUK - my most favourite brand of clothing which I can order in confidence knowing the clothing is true to size and great quality. Stand out from the crowd designs :).
Customer service is excellent! I recently made an enquiry and even though its sale season it was dealt with promptly.
Thank you FCUK!

Great home products Good customer care

I have only discovered French Connection home this year so glad I have! They have a wide range of fabulous home furnishings and home accessories .
Both my son and I have lots of items in our homes.
Customer service Anna and Kurt recently dealt with a return of a couple unsuitable items …refunding well within their guidelines. Thank you.

Lack of Information

I never got my order confirmation nor the expected delivery information and had to contact your Customer Service team. In future I will have to always keep a note of the order numbers of items I buy on-line in case anything goes wrong which, believe me, does happen from time to time.

Never regretted a buy more. Soles of my shoes started to let loose within 2 weeks. In the trash within two months... Wish I could give less than 1 star

I requested the number of breathability and waterproofness, yet they give something else I don't want.

Excellent client service

EU regulations have made it more difficult to send goods from and back to the UK and it can be the reason not to order at all. However, with the excellent client service of French Connection it is no problem at all. They were very helpful and quick in answering all my questions, getting my order at my address in time and also providing information on how to send goods back safely!
