Very slow delivery
This company said a George Jensen kettle was in stock with delivery in 2 weeks and it arrived 2 months and 1 week later after repeated chasing. Emails took quite a while to answer.
I would strongly advise avoiding Panik…
I would strongly advise avoiding Panik Design.
I placed an order on 3rd March for £217 and received an order confirmation, but after that there was no communication at all. I sent multiple emails and attempted to call but received no response.
After chasing, I was eventually told there were issues with delivery to my country, but still no dispatch confirmation or clear timeline was provided. I then formally cancelled the order and requested a refund, which was ignored.
I had no option but to open a PayPal dispute. I was very lucky that I had used PayPal! The company failed to respond within the PayPal case as well, and I have just received a refund from PayPal. If I had payed with my debit card I think I would not have received a refund.
This experience shows a clear pattern of taking payment without providing goods or adequate communication. Based on my experience, I would not recommend purchasing from this company.
Totally rubbish. Almost criminal.
Totally rubbish. Almost criminal.
Ordered some excellent looking stuff. Never arrived. 2.5 months later. Emailed them. Called them. Nada. Total rip off. The worst of retail summed up. Avoid like plague.
I had to take Panik Design to court
I bought a pepper grinder that broke. Panik Design originally confirmed it had a 25-year guarantee & said a replacement would be arranged.
What followed was over four months of extremely poor communication. Most follow-up emails and calls went unanswered. On the few occasions I did receive a reply, I was first told a replacement was on the way. When nothing arrived, they claimed confusion and then blamed supplier delays. Despite repeated chasing, nothing was resolved.
With no progress in sight, I ultimately had no choice but to issue a claim through Money Claim Online after I sent a Letter Before Action that they ignored.
They didn't respond to the court claim so I won the County Court judgment by default. They only paid after I emailed to make it clear that enforcement action would follow if the judgment remained unpaid.
This was a straightforward warranty issue involving a modest sum. It ended up taking six months, formal legal proceedings, and significant persistence to resolve — all of which was entirely avoidable.
Consciously scamming people out of money
Ordered some glasses as part of a Valentine's Day present. The company never sent the items, and never responded to my emails OR my phone calls months after the purchases. But they were very happy to take my money. Avoid at all costs
Total failure - no product delivered, zero responsiveness
Ordered a lamp in early January and by mid-February no sign of delivery and zero updates from seller. Have now escalated to credit card company to resolve. Be very wary of ordering through this company.
Terrible
Terrible, awful, miserable, I can go on and on. I have asked for refund about 2 weeks ago, still waiting. I sent multiple emails for refund status update but no answer. The worst experience ever with this store. Stay away from them.
Terrible customer service
Poor, poor, poor!
Bought a pricey Georg Jensen kettle which started malfunctioning after around half a year. Complained to Panik Design mid-December, got an acknowledgement three weeks later - apparently there was a replacement shipment on its way. To date, no news, no shipment, no replacement.
Poorest customer service I’ve ever experienced, avoid by all means!
Do not waste your time or money with…
Do not waste your time or money with Panik Design. I ordered a $5,000 daybed in November based on their website’s claim of 'Delivered within 10-15 business days.' It has now been over 8 weeks, and the only communication I have received is a generic order confirmation.
I have tried calling multiple times, but nobody answers the phone. They have essentially ghosted me after taking a massive payment. Their website continues to advertise fast delivery times that they clearly cannot meet. After looking at recent reviews, it seems this is a pattern: they take money for stock they don't have and refuse to communicate with customers. I am not even sure if their physical showroom still exists at this point. Save yourself the stress and shop elsewhere.

We ordered a mirror for delivery to the States in September 2025. Since then, there has been zero communication or update on the item and why it hasn't arrived after FOUR months when the promised delivery date was a few weeks. I have phoned and left messages and emailed repeatedly and have gotten no response. How this place is in business is a mystery. I wish I had reach the reviews before ordering.
Immoral Fraud
This company is taking money without having the stock. They fail to answer any contact methods to resolve. Read their Companies House profile.

Ordered a lighter for USD 1500 plus 3 weeks ago, promised will be delivered in 13 days from the order date. Contacted their support and replied they dont have stock, and they dont know when it can be delivered. try to contact them few times and ask for the refund, no reply at all from them.
It's a totally scam website, please avoid
Do not use this company
Do not use this company. Totally unscrupulous. Accepted £1320 from us for eight dining room chairs with promised 4 to 6 week delivery time. After eight weeks no communication. No replies to repeated emails and repeated voicemails. Had to initiate Visa chargeback on our credit card via our bank.
Bad experience
Bad experience. Product was displayed as in stock. After 2 weeks waiting, contacted them several times per email, no answer. They don't answer on the phone neither. I threatened them with a scathing post on Trusted Review. They reacted once telling the manufacturer might produce the thing for them in December. Problem is that the product was a limited edition that the producer will never do again. They don't give back the money. I have had to report the issue to my bank. Shop to be avoided.
Good to know this company do communicate
I thought I was not going to be responded to in terms of a replacement item as I had tried all modes of communication, however, I have received a return email stating they will replace the broken item in my parcel. I will edit this review again when I receive the goods that were broken.
Order never arrived
I ordered a stool in July - after sending in the region of 20 e mails, as at 20 October, I have nothing to show for £500. Promises of delivery not honoured and eventually I was ignored. To resolve, I made a dispute with Mastercard. Utter waste of my time.
poor communication
I purchased a white kettle from this company which has now discoloured and whilst I appreciate that Panik Design are not the manufacturers of this product, they have not replied to any of my emails. Communication is not their strong point.
Buyer beware
Placed order, payment taken 6/6/25. Small item in stock at time of order and currently on website but I have not received item. No response to several emails.
Hard-to-find Georg Jensen kettle secured with great service
I had been trying to buy a Georg Jensen kettle for months. They are so popular that even when Georg Jensen confirmed stock, the kettle sold out again within hours. I contacted Panik Design to check if they had stock, and they confirmed more was due the following week.
They emailed me as promised the next week to confirm stock had arrived and that they were holding a kettle for me if I would like it. They also arranged delivery to the Isle of Man with no problem — many companies do not deliver to the Isle of Man. The product arrived as promised and beautifully packaged.
I will definitely order from Panik Design again. My experience of their customer service was second to none. They are a smaller, growing company, very helpful, and they managed to secure an item I had been trying to get hold of for six months, quickly and without fuss.
I am posting this review for both Panik Design and Panik Outlet, as I see they have two Trustpilot pages.

Incredibly disappointed
Incredibly disappointed. I ordered an expensive set of chairs in February with an estimated delivery time of 3 - 5 weeks. Three months later and I still have not received the items and have been provided with no expected delivery date. I have no idea how to cancel my order so I can purchase from elsewhere.
