What a joke this is. I ordered a jumpsuit that eventually came and was awful. The sizing was all over the place and the quality was so so poor. When asked for a refund they said you can return to Chin... See more

Absolutely gorgeous bracelet, which my husband loves. He’s had one from here before and it lasted years even without him ever taking it off, which is surprising because it’s leather! So I know they ar... See more

Hi

I’d suggest contacting PayPal and asking them why they are taking so long. It was sorted out end on 1st December at 9.22am

Hi June. I’m pretty sure we had a telephone conversation but maybe I’m mistaken. Refund was done straight after and it’s then in Mastercards hands to do the refund which sometimes takes a few days

Failed to send bracelet

Failed to send bracelet. Took money which took days to refund. No explanation or apology. Had to chase with customer services what was going on and if I would receive a refund. I did get one eventually but disappointed to not receive my order due to the manufacturer discontinuing the bracelet.

Hi Charlotte. We literally refunded the item as soon as it was cancelled. Unfortunately we cannot get a credit card to issue that refund back to you any sooner. You ordered on the 21st and the order was cancelled on the 22nd. I can only apologise for the item being discontinued by the manufacturer (not us). Again it’s out of our control

Pointless order

Tried to order 4 rings, order was cancelled straight away due to manufacture problems but nobody had emailed to explain why it has been cancelled until I reached out. Nothing on the I asked to be kept in touch when it was sorted as I still wanted to make another order but company never replied to me. So now I won’t bother nothing on the website to say items are out of stock so don’t waste your time.

Cancelled order without any…

Cancelled order without any correspondence.

After calling to follow up myself (no contact from H&M) the individual I spoke with was quick to get me off the phone and told me he would send over some alternatives - nothing has come a week later.

Very poor way to do business. Customers shouldn't be chasing you for the sale and then not being met half way. Unprofessional.

Order cancelled with no explaination

Order cancelled with no explaination. Pretty annoying and gives a poor impression of their communication/customer service.

Sorry Ian the system doesn’t allow us to send an automated reason as to why it’s cancelled. We put the order through and we’re informed it is now discontinued by the manufacturer

Avoid poor customer service

Started off with a rather slow "express shipping" it's there only shipping option I think taking about Week to come and costing £5 extra you'd expect it to be well express.

Next the ring didn't fit. Odd considering I'd had my ring size checked only a couple of days before. Sent them an email regarding this assuming they sent wrong size. No reply to the email for two weeks.

When they did eventually reply the customer service has been dreadful, they lied saying the check and have definitely sent the right size but to return if and they would send the next size up well that's fine, but I had the ring size checked and they had in fact sent the wrong size. I asked for them to refund my shipping and my return postage cost they refused to refund the initial shipping given there mistake and delayed time in actually shipping my order in the first place I considered this reasonable.

So I ended up cancelling my hole order and requested a return label they agreed because that makes sense? But still waiting for the label.

Long story short I won't be using them again it's a shame given we'd picked out quite a lot for our wedding

Hi Ashley

Couple of things.

1. We don’t make any money off shipping it’s simple what it cost us to send it out

2. It wasn’t 2 weeks to reply to the email

3. ‘Customer service dreadful’ not really true. I personally checked we had sent the correct one and it was explained that because of the width of the ring it might the reason it’s come up small

4. I didn’t lie about anything. I said I’d check they ring the supplier sent via the paperwork that came with it and it was the correct size sent.

5. We agreed to send a larger size and you were insistent on us refunding the original postage. It was explained that we would be free delivery for the next ring but you seem very keen that £5 should be returned

6. We agreed yesterday to issue a return label for the original ring as you wanted to cancel as you weren’t getting your £5 back of which we are issuing today so it costs you nothing.

Long story short. You can’t please everyone and we don’t want your business.

We will issue the return envelope as promised. How dreadful is that

Fairly good experience!

I ordered a bracelet from the website and everything went smoothly. The bracelet arrived and everything was great! The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the delivery time, I paid almost £6 for delivery and it was sent 2nd class and I waited a week. Apart from that I was happy with my experience and I would purchase from them again, in the future!

Slow delivery and and poor customer care.

There has been a delay in delivery and still the bracelet hasn’t been received yet. Little information provided by either yourselves or Royal Mail. Quite disappointing!

I appreciate that you have no control or progress details regarding Royal Mail. I was however disappointed that I was not informed that you obviously didn’t have the item in stock yourselves. I only happened to discover this when I chased the item to see why the order hadn’t progressed.

Your FAQs clearly state “ Orders processed here will take 2-3 business days to arrive.” Even if it arrives tomorrow, which I suspect it will not and allowing for bank holidays, that’s going to be 5 business days and counting.

End of.

Wow that’s a disappointing review. Your item was ordered one week ago today (30th April). We then had bank holiday Monday the day after. You contacted us Thursday (4th May) at 9.32PM asking if there was an update. At 9.33PM we responding explaining that we didn’t have your size so ordered the item in from the supplier of which they couldn’t send out until Tuesday due to the bank holiday. That doesn’t really marry up with your ‘very little information provided’ statement. We then mentioned that you should have it Saturday. The item was dispatched via Royal Mail on Friday (4 full working days from when you ordered) 1st Class. The fact that it hasn’t arrived is on Royal Mail. I suggest a review on their website would be more suitable. Thank you for your business and we apologies for ordering your item in, answering your message at 9:30 in the evening, and dispatching 1st class. Sorry to be so blunt but I’m not really sure what else we could possibly have done.

We sell a lot of Unique bracelets each week and sometimes we go out of stock and have to order them in for you. If you have an issue it’s maybe worth you calling us tomorrow to discuss rather than trying to make out you’ve been hard done by in some way and trying to discredit us as a company. I think most people reading your review with all the facts stated above would see the logic in our reply. Slow delivery (I’d beg to differ). Poor customer service (how on earth can you claim that)

I’m sure it will arrive when Royal Mail get to you
