Cannot Fault Temptation Gifts at all

Cannot Fault Temptation Gifts at all. I’ve made several orders with them for Jelly Cat items and they are well priced and not over charging, communications are great and dispatch & delivery times are fantastic.

Sharp practice with online trading

When purchasing 2 china mugs I was unaware that in addition to a delivery charge I was expected to pay 21€ of customs charges from FedEx.( UK-IRELAND) ( This was nearly more than the cost of the mugs) I told them I no longer wanted the mugs but they still appeared on my door step. Fed Ex then hired a collections agency to threaten me . Never never again!!! Buyer beware.
In response Temptation gifts ...you have an email from me saying I no longer wanted the items as I did not want to pay customs charges. However they were left on my door step and not signed for! This was then followed by threatening letters from FedEx ( whom you hired to deliver) you cannot abdicate responsibility from this situation. Again Sharp Practices.

Thank you for your review. As per our email correspondence, all international orders are subject to customs tax and charges, depending on the destination, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. Any customs or tax charges are the responsibility of the customer and as per our terms and conditions, I am sorry, but I’m afraid that we cannot be held responsible for any charges levied by customs and excise. Please see our international delivery page on our website for more information on this. I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with FedEx. We are unfortunately unable to stop the parcel from being delivered once it has left our warehouse. Kind regards, customer service

Great Quality Products at Great Prices

I was a little skeptical when I saw the prices of things and some of the reviews but I have ordered from them three times now and have never been disappointed or had any issues. Official branded merchandise such as Kate Spade, Ted Baker and Jellycat at a fraction of the price. Dispatch to the UK was quick and efficient. Great quality products at great prices.

What a sham of a company

What a sham of a company, I ordered a tealight house from them on the 19th Jan, priced at £23 18p which included postage, today I received an email from customs saying I owe them 23 euros, to say I was shocked was an understatement, I have been buying from the UK for years and I have never been charged tax before, on ringing customs to find out what happened we were told the package did not have a customs label attached so they guessed a price of 76 euros and charged me tax on that, after contacting the company they told me that they send out parcels for ireland normal post without a customs label, how ridiculous can you get!!!!!!!!!! They offered to take the house back but I would have to pay postage and also lose the postage to have it delivered to my home, I will Never buy from this company again, thank you temptation gifts for your brilliant service and for ripping a pensioner off, I hope it makes you proud!

May I just add that we do not have to pay customs tax on any item under 135 pounds, if they had taken the time to fill in a declaration form stating the cost of the item then it would have been delivered to me free of any custom charges,
Every other company I have bought from does this as a normal thing,
What a way to run a business,
If anyone from Ireland is reading this you have been warned!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your review.

Since Brexit, all orders being shipped to EU countries are now subject to customs tax and charges, the exact amount is determined by customs and excise in the country of destination, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. We are unable to arrange a system of delivery to the EU than means that the customer does not have to pay vat/local sales tax and or duty on the goods. However, as in our international delivery information, in our experience, the implementation of additional fees and charges on international deliveries is somewhat haphazard and varies from country to country, so we are unable to estimate what, if any, fees may be charged to you. We therefore recommend visiting your government’s customs and import website for further information if you are concerned. We provide all the information requested on the electronic customs declaration. Despite the information being correct , Ireland are only the county that have had issues with our parcels and TARIF codes.

Any customs or tax charges are the responsibility of the customer and as per our terms and conditions, I am sorry, but I’m afraid that we cannot be held responsible for any charges levied by customs and excise, please refer to the link below.

You would have been made aware of this once in the checkout of our webstore and again on your order confirmation, we advise that any customs or tax charges are the responsibility of the customer and as per our terms and conditions.

Kind regards,
customer service

Great customer service

We had an issue with a Christmas present and I contacted Temptation Gifts today. I received a very rapid response from Roby who was incredibly helpful and who has issued a replacement for me. Very impressed with the customer service.

A superb company

I really can’t recommend Temptation Gifts highly enough. I have done two Christmas orders with them….both faultless. Beautifully packaged. The second one a present which arrived in less than 24 hours with the recipient. Ordered on 22 Dec and delivered on 23 Dec! A superb on-line shopping experience and thank you to all the staff who make this happen. A real favourite on-line store and one I shall return to again and again.

Perfect experience

Ordered 2 items as Christmas gifts for my daughter. Dispatched and delivered within days. Each item beautifully wrapped in tissue. So much so that I haven't even unwrapped them.

Good Customer Service

Ordered baubles twice now and both times a couple of the baubles weren’t to standard. I emailed in photographs and the company were very quick (both times) to send out replacement baubles without me having to return the faulty ones. Really appreciate the top customer service. Orders were received promptly too. Thank you, Temptation Gifts.

Poor Customer Service

Having placed a ‘significant’ order, I realised that I’d forgotten to include an item. Almost immediately, I emailed the company requesting to add to my order. Despite the order not having been processed at this stage I was advised that this wasn’t possible and they suggested I placed another order for the additional item. I asked if they could waive the postage fee for the extra item but they refused. This simple goodwill gesture was refused which was a very short sighted decision. As such, I didn’t order the additional item from them and I won’t shop with them again in the future. My first and last shopping experience with this company.

Missing parcel?

I have kept contacting and I am trying to figure out where my parcel is. I ordered on the 23rd November and on the 25th I asked if there were any updates. They replied saying it was busy times which I understand and it has been dispatched and it will be with me in 2-5 working days. It has now been 2 weeks since I have ordered. I am hoping to receive it soon or get a refund. If I could get any help that would be great. Thanks

Worth giving a go

I was a bit weary after reading the reviews but very pleasantly surprised with my own order. The yankee candles were better priced and had more availability than yankee themselves - everything was well wrapped for the courier and nothing broken on arrival. I did go for the 24 tracked royal mail postage for just a pound more than the standard rate and it came very quickly within that time. So very happy for ordering candles from here!

Rebecca sorted out a problem quickly for me, Thanks very much!

Had a slight issue with purchasing a Dunoon mug last week but to their credit this was picked up straight away and rectified swiftly by Rebecca. Great customer service after my initial disappointment.

The best place to get gifts in the UK

The best place to get gifts in the UK! I'm a fan of Jellycat. The stores have a large collection of Jellycats. Very fast delivery: ordered on Saturday, shipped with Royal Mail 24 Tracked and delivered on the following Sunday! The customer service is superb. I contacted the service team via phone for one of my orders and the staff was very responsive, helpful, professional and friendly. I'll absolutely purchase again soon! Highly recommended!

Fabulous service

Just received my order of a large Yankee candle and wax melts from Temptation Gifts. Ordered on a Friday and the goods arrived on Monday. Fantastic speedy delivery. I was struggling to find the candle on other sites but Temptation Gifts had exactly what I wanted at a great price. Will be shopping with them again and would definitely recommend their services.

Missed an item in my parcel and never wanted to resolve issue claiming their trusted staff never do a mistake without any cctv checks. Useless. Waste of money.

Thank you for putting my original…

Thank you for putting my original review on line. Temptation gifts contacted me afterwards, through customer services. The lady requested we sent photos of the damaged baubles, which we did and then she arranged for replacements to be sent out.
These arrived promptly this morning.
The pale green badger and toadstool bauble arrived in good condition.
Although the antique gold baubles were a vast improvement on those originally sent still showed marks and slight damage to what I believe to be a thin coating of some gold foil like material (kingfisher and blue tit).
I was assured the baubles were glass but I still have reservations about this as they were not transparent or translucent in anyway. They also felt very light.
They were obviously designed by Gisela Graham but there was no information to say where they were made.
I was asked to send back the damaged baubles wrapped as they came, which my husband has just done. They paid the postage.
I really hope they are not intending to sell them onto another customer.
I am happier with my purchase now and have 4 out of 6 baubles that are as they should have been originally. I would advise other customers to avoid the antique gold baubles by Gisela Graham.
