Would not recommend anyone to use this company

I made an online order over 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing from the company. They do not respond to emails and I cannot get through by phone. Will now have to raise a dispute to reclaim the funds I have already paid this company! Terrible service! Could not provide an order reference as the terrible service meant I did not even receive an order confirmation email! After escalating through Paypal funds were returned as my order wasn't even in stock!

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE!!!!!

I am so annoyed I didn't read any reviews before I ordered! I ordered some perfume, got no confirmation but payment was taken. I then received an email advising it was out of stock and whether I wanted an alternative but got no response when I replied and started to feel nervous as I never received any form of confirmation / order number. I have since sent several emails but suprise suprise, no response and the telephone number on their website is dead! What on Earth is wrong with this company and how are they still trading???? I have contacted my bank who are going to start a dispute and looking in reporting via trading standards.

PLEASE DO NOT EVEN THINK OF ORDERING FROM HERE!!!!

very unhappy customer

I ordered some items 11 days ago and im still waiting!! I was told my items would be with me a week ago but obviously this is not the case. They took the money out of my account straight away yet im still waiting. I have emailed several times but i just keep getting fobbed off. Absolutely shocking service, will never order again from them. All i want is my order not much to ask considering i have paid.

Thanks for your message - this customer has now been refunded. We had not been able to send it as there had been some confusion over the delivery address as the customer does not reside in the UK it appeared.

bought a Aftershave on this site

I bought Paco rabanne x black for my partner. On the 13th december. Never received a confirmation email or the item. But they took my money. I have emailed a number of times over and over. My partner now won't have a Christmas present. I am going to complain to my credit card company now.

Don't buy from them. They ruin your special occasions.

Many apologies for any inconvenience caused - this customer was refunded as stock sold out as new orders were taken and we were not able to send the item for the timeframe required. This does occasionally happen during busy periods like Christmas. Apologies once more.

RUINED CHRISTMAS

I wish I had seen these reviews before ordering £158 worth of perfumes for Christmas presents on 2 December. I too have not had a delivery and have tried emailing and phoning. As all have said, the telephone line is dead and there has been no response from customer service. I am so angry that they have taken my money and provided nothing. I paid through Paypal and have reported them, so hopefully will get some response. However, it will arrive too late for me to be able to purchase the replacement presents. Please, please, DO NOT use this company. They have ruined my Christmas.

Even though they replied, only after I started a case on Paypal, to say they had despatched the item and it would arrive by Thursday, IT HASN'T. I have to go out and purchase the items again now and be severely out of pocket at a time when every penny counts. So very angry and disappointed.

Hi - we apologise for the delay with your order. Some perfumes were in limited supply and we waited for new stocks of them to arrive. Your order has been shipped today and will arrive by Thursday. Once again we apologise profusely for the delay. We have been fortunately been very busy this year with many happy customers (despite the odd unhappy ones on here!) and this has led to delays. We sincerely hope we haven't ruined your Christmas and would like to offer you a £20 discount off any future order.

Disgusting service!

I ordered Christmas gifts from HalfPrice Perfumes on the 16th November. The value of the order is £44.95. We are now the 19th December and I still have no goods! I have emailed several times and had apologies that they were waiting for part of my order still. I replied could they please post out what they has as they were gifts for work colleagues. They never replied. I then found a phone number Sterling Pharmacy Ltd t/a Halfpriceperfumes 0161 445 3753 ( different to the number on Sterling Pharmacy which is out of use!) and called them. After 5 calls today I have experienced a variety of responses: 1) We are nothing to do with Half Price Perfumes 2) A woman who answered and then just hung up on me. 3) Polite young man who said the gentleman who deals with HalfPrice perfumes was not in the office, call back after 11. 4) Please email - unable to deal with enquiries by phone 5) No one answering!
This makes me very wary of this company! I wonder if they are just taking all the cash from Christmas orders before folding! Please, please do NOT order from this company. There is NO customer service - I am unable to shop at this late date to replace the gifts I had ordered through them. I also cannot walk through crowded shops because of a disability.
I am disgusted!!

The reference number provided for this review is NOT one of our reference numbers - we will be happy to help if we can be provided with some more information about this order. It sounds as though the customer reached a couple of wrong numbers before calling us via our sister company Sterling Pharmacy. Yesterday we were experiencing some telephone problems and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Item not received and no refund given

This firm took the payment from my bank knowing the perfume was no longer available and said they would issue a refund after I queried where it perfume was. Still waiting for refund I was promised and sent numerous emails to customer services that have gone unanswered !!

Hi - many apologies for this delay. The product you ordered is infact a discontinued line that we have been trying our best to get for you from various suppliers - you were emailed about the delay but perhaps you didn't receive the message. If you would like us still to try please let us know, if not we can offer you a refund. Once again, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Very poor customer service

I placed an order on 1/12/16 for a birthday present, as the order hasn't arrived I ve emailed them twice without a reply. The telephone number on their website is incorrect. I managed to find another number only to be told the item was out of stock, I was told inlay be in stock next week or the following week. They will let me know when it is in stock even though it was shown in stock when I ordered it.
They are either incompetent or dishonest I can't make my mind up at the minute.

Absolutely awful service

I placed an order via Sterling Pharmacy on 17 November and promptly received an order confirmation from Half Price Perfumes. 2 weeks later my goods have not been delivered so I fill out their contact form, a week later still no response so I try telephoning them, the number listed on their site does not work. I have sent 2 further emails and still heard nothing. They have had my money for 3 weeks and not bothered to respond to any of my contacts. Dreadful service and robbers.

Hi - we are sorry you've had a negative experience. In this case, a discontinued product had been ordered that we had very limited stock of - this lady's order unfortunately wasn't able to be fulfilled although we tried every avenue to get some more stock. She has since been refunded.

AVOID! PRODUCTS TAMPERED WITH

Purchased a gift for my fiancée this christmas and immediately had my suspicions. Product came in different packaging as to how advertised on website and different in all department stores.

The seal was sliced around the bottom of the tin and shows signs of where it's been prized open - PRODUCT LIKELY TAMPERED WITH!!

Stickers over the barcode on the tin also lead me to have my suspicions.

AVOID AND DON'T LET THIS BUSINESS RUIN YOUR CHRISTMAS

Hi - we understand that you have now sorted this matter out with our customer service department and you will be refunded. We would like to say that we have received the product back and there is no evidence of tampering - the other products are the same - this is just how we received them from the suppliers. We certainly do not "tamper" with our products. We apologise once again for any inconvenience caused.

Tester Perfumes

A well-kept secret in the beauty world - you can buy manufacturers genuine tester bottles of their fragrances - at a fraction of the price of the properly packaged bottles that are sold in department stores etc - I'm sure the perfume houses don't like it though. This Website sell loads of them - they are the genuine perfume without the fancy packaging and sometimes no lid - bottles are the same though but the box is just plain white. I thought it was a mistake when I ordered but I must tell you...it's the best kept beauty secret in the business. Does everyone know about this or is it just me? I got a Ghost perfume a Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance and a Paul Smith one but there's loads of them.

Never let down

Have to say I'm a bit surprised by these negative reviews on here! I've been ordering from this website for years and years and never had a problem! The odd time there's a been a mistake or a delay it's been quickly rectified and sorted. Their prices are amazing, even though their delivery time is definitely a big longer than some I reckon that's how they are keeping their costs down. Please carry on doing what you are doing halfpriceperfumes.

Love it

I ordered several perfumes and make-up bits and bobs from halfpriceperfumesand I have to say I was very impressed by the speed of service, quality and price of the products – I even managed to find some L’Oreal lipliners that have been discontinued that I love at a really discounted price! It’s definitely a no-frills service – no fancy packaging etc but at the end of the day – that all gets thrown away doesn’t it! Loved it and you can be sure I’ll be ordering again.

Useless

This is the 2nd order I have placed with this company that I have had to chase up only to be told the items I have ordered are not available (even though they still appear on the website as "in stock" nearly 2 weeks after I placed the order).

When items are not available no one bothers to contact you to let you know your order just sits there "being processed". I tried contacting the company via their contact form but NEVER get a reply. Eventually had to phone them up.

I have given them the benefit on the doubt once, twice and they lose my custom.
