Great customer service

I think the best review you can give a company is when something goes wrong as can happen it is how they resolve the issue.
Dylan on their customer service line was polite and really helpful and solved the issue in 1 phone call I was very impressed.

Never again! Zero customer service

Never again!
I purchased an 80th birthday present ‘on the day you were born’ poster. I carefully completed details required and my husband checked ( after all it was THE DAY YOU WERE BORN!)
After completing the order with a 2-3 day delivery timescale 4 days later and close to when the present was needed … nothing! No delivery updates nothing except the invoice and there on checking the small print of the order the date was INCORRECT! I contacted them immediately regarding the order and error and heard NOTHING.
When it finally arrived I again contacted them in regard to my disappointment of the error on the printing of the date I, I received no acknowledgement or apology.
It cost £20 plus postage and was a simple printed poster in a cheap frame and could easily have been re-printed but they chose to simply ignore the complaint and left us embarrassed on a significant birthday giving a present which was based on the date with the wrong birthdate. Very poor service & consideration to customers!
Never again would I use this company or recommend them!

Badly run company

I ordered an item 8 days ago in time for fathers day and have still not received it. After several phone calls and emails to the company they said they had no order from me. I then had to prove I made the order with copies of bank statements and screen shots of the order confirmation . What company makes you do that when you have an order number. After getting no where for days they finally tell me the order is out of stock. This company never once called or emailed me to tell me this was not of stock. It's now to late for me to order else where. A very bad company that have severly let me down. I have been told they will refund me , but the way they operate I will be lucky to get it this year if at all

Very good customer service

I had a query about purchasing an item and contact The Gift Experience by telephone. The agent was very helpful and answered my query efficiently.

It is the first time I have used the Company to purchase a gift and I got a 20% discount off my first order.

I am now awaiting delivery of my purchase.

Really good gift

Just received the item I ordered and very pleased with result. The website does not do the gift justice. It is better than expected. Great framing and a lot of information included. Quick delivery and nicely packed to avoid any damage. Hopefully recipient will like the gift

I have just received my order and…

I have just received my order and unfortunately I am very disappointed it’s supposed to be a mantel clock but the clock is so small it would be nearly impossible to read unless you are very near it also the writing is difficult to read because it’s at the back I don’t think I’ll be buying anything else from you

Not a High Quality Product (Plastic frame & Plexiglass)

I wasn't provided with an update for when the product was shipped so I had to chase them for an update. Then, no one responded to my email within 48 hrs (as promised on the website). When I did reach them over the phone, they advised that they did email me, but I never received the email.

Also, the frame this anniversary gift comes with is quite low quality. I guess the price reflects this, but I would be willing to pay a bit more for a frame that was a bit more substantial (e.g., actual wood frame with actual glass).

As it stands, what this comes with is a plastic frame with clear Perspex or plexiglass which isn't what I would call a quality product. Thus, I now have to source a decent frame.
