Dreadful customer service

I have purchased items from this company for a number of years with no problems. However, I bought a bracelet for my daughter for Christmas which was faulty so she returned it and ordered a different one which broke. My daughter spent many weeks trying to get them to refund the money before finally telling me what happened. Since then I have been trying to get the money refunded to me. They have finally told me that the money has been refunded via Link Pay (who I have not heard of) because they claim that this is the medium I used, which is totally incorrect because I only ever use my debit card or PayPal. Plus they are only prepared to pay me £10 less than the original price. I would definitely not buy from them again

Thank you for your review, and I’m very sorry to hear about your experience.
This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, especially for a long-standing customer. I completely understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly given the issues with both bracelets and the time it has taken to resolve the refund.
The concerns you’ve raised around the refund method and amount are important, and I would like to look into this properly for you. We will be in touch shortly.
We truly value your past custom and are very sorry this experience has let you down.

A very memorable significant gift and experience.

We were spending the day in Keswick and wanted to see if we could find an extra special ring for our very precious daughter for a very significant birthday . We were with friends and just called in by chance. The service was amazing and immediate. The ring we needed was her birth stone. Steve and Michelle brought out every ring with an aquamarine stone in. They were beyond professional and attentive. We eventually found a gorgeous ring that needed downsizing. This was Saturday the 1st March and we needed it for Monday 9th as it was really important she received this special gift from her parents as a memory token. We live in Newcastle and the post isn’t good here but they said they would do their very best to get it sized for us to come and collect it. We left the shop and felt reassured they would do their very best best to accommodate us. We wondered all week if we would get her ring and to our delight Steve rang us up to tell us the ring had been sized and delivered to their shop. I can’t emphasise enough what an asset these two people are to be the ambassadors of selling your wonderful jewelry. She was delighted with her birthday present as we were the the overall experience in this shop with these super professionals.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review.

We’re truly honoured to have been part of such a special and meaningful occasion for your daughter. It’s lovely to hear how Steve and Michelle looked after you so well in our Keswick store—they will be thrilled to know their care and dedication made such a difference.

We understand how important timing was for this gift, so we’re especially pleased everything came together in time for her birthday. It sounds like a truly memorable moment for you all.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing Shipton & Co for such a significant purchase. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Definitely Recommend.....

Having used this company for many years now, it goes without saying that the quality, the price, and the whole package are excellent. I thoroughly recommend Shipton & Co., and I shall continue to use them. I have found items that, although they are at the bottom end of the price ladder, are just as beautifully crafted as the more expensive items.

My customer experience

Ordered two items a lovely bracelet and a 18 CT gold plated scarf. Unfortunately the scarf was faulty, and a full refund was given for the scarf. Excellent service, highly recommended.

We’re sorry for the slight delay in dispatch and for the change to the free gift – we didn’t want to delay your order further while waiting for the original gift to come back into stock.

Quality items at a reasonable price+ free gifts as a bonus.

I’ve purchased several gifts from Shiptons and they have all been good, and their free gifts are an added bonus. Would recommend them for quality jewelry at a reasonable price, especially in their sales.

Faultless service throughout. 10/10

For the first time in many years ,I had to return a bracelet,which I realised would not be a suitable gift.
I telephoned the customer service department on receipt of the item. I was given instructions of
how and where to return (free of charge) the item. On receipt of the parcel , a member of the customer service department telephoned to ascertain my card details to refund my money. The whole thing was carried out in their usual professional and friendly manner.

Beautiful necklace

Beautiful necklace, arrived quickly in a beautiful presentation box. I have problems fastening necklaces now because of arthritis in my hands, but this one slips easily over my head. So it's easy to wear and looks fabulous. Thank you.
