Worked for me

Worked for me! I was a bit worried by some of the reviews here which I stupidly did not check properly before ordering. After reading the reviews I was imagining not getting my product for 3 months or longer. Happily my bedspread arrived after 7 days. I was updated at every stage. The bedspread itself was exactly the colour shown and exactly the colour I wanted. The largest size was just right and comes down to the floor on all sides of our kingsize bed.It was the Lixa cotton quilt in teal. It was really a thick blanket though not a quilt, which is what I wanted for the summer. Nice quality. I think you have to check first if it's an item that's "ready to ship" and mine was, so it was quick. Some items are made to order I think and from other countries, so can take a while to get your items delivered in that case. Anyway, I was very happy with my experience. Thanks Urbanara.

Relieved customer!

I placed an order for a Nunja rug via the UK website on 27 Feb. It was delivered on 4 Mar. Given all the awful stories on Trustpilot about 'in stock' items not being delivered for months, I contacted customer support _before_ placing the order. Arnand responded promptly, assuring me that the item was in stock and that it would be delivered 5-7 working days. Still full of doubt, but relying on the fact that I was protected from loss, if not from hassle, by my credit card company, I placed an order. The rug did, indeed, arrive in 5 working days, it's beautiful and, despite my earlier concerns, I'm really pleased that I placed the order.

Extremely poor!!!

Ordered 2 x cushions, 20th August last year. At no point has this company contacted us to give update on delivery. Chased in October and received response that unavailable and will be new delivery in November. So patiently waited. Note money taken in August. Nothing happened November, no correspondence from them Again. Chased in November, they said I would get in December. Nothing received December. No update again. Chased again in December. Told 2nd week January. Chased 15th Jan and told will receive this week. Guess what!? Shocker. Nothing received.
Made me chuckle when I read previous poor review responses from the company saying send email to customer services for update. What’s the point their updates are as bad as their delivery service. This company now had our money since August last year. What can they expect me to rate other than than extremely poor!!? Come on guys sort this nonsense out. Order number UK-4932.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your message and feedback. I apologize again for the delay in delivery and thank you for your patience so far. Since some of our products are sourced directly from our partner manufacturers around the world, and we place great value on working with smaller companies and on high product quality, there may be long waiting times. Our business model is based on the direct purchase from the manufacturer without intermediaries and the avoidance of high storage costs in order to be able to offer high-quality products at an "affordable" price.
We always endeavor to forward any delivery delays directly to our customers, and we have done the same for you. We proactively informed you on October 21, 2019 and you were ok with the delivery date at the end of November. We are happy to send you the communication. In addition, due to the delay in delivery, we have already reimbursed you £ 20 as small compensation for the long waiting time. We can also prove this. You are absolutely correct that we didn't informed you further due to the busy christmas time. This was absolutely our fault. Since we prefer honest feedback and do not want to argue about 2 pillowcases, we will now reimburse you the full value of the goods and send you the available pillowcases for free. These will be sent out within the coming week.

Best regards,

Your customer service team

Apprehensive

So far, I’m disappointed.ordered a rug way back at the beginning of December, no update on delivery times as yet, now 31st December. I’ve just tried to call them and their number doesn’t seem to exist, a bit worrying, so, where are they? I’ve emailed them now and await a reply......nervous that this is not going to end well.

Dear customer,

Thank you for your honest feedback. Since we sell a lot of products with a longer delivery time, I ask you to take a look at your order confirmation first. We are also happy to help you. For this purpose, I ask you to write an email to our customer service, stating your order number. So far we have unfortunately not received any email from you. We try to answer as soon as possible.

Best Regards

Warning do not buy from this company

Warning do not buy from this company, if you read the reviews it becomes very suspicious that their reason for delays is the same every month-IT problems! When I order 2 small throws at £149 each I don’t expect to be ringing a week later and they havnt even been dispatched, very bad service. I have read about their IT problems from reviews in set oct and nov, something very dodgy about this company

Hello Sian,

Thank you for your review. Whilst we appreciate your concerns regarding current and past delivery issues, we should point out that these are completely unrelated and that our usual delivery times for available items are 4-5 days. We must however, refute your defamatory remarks about our company, since they do not reflect our usual operations, and we do not experience IT issues "every month". We should also point out that your request to re-fund the order was dealt with professionally within minutes of you contacting us. We do not consider this bad service, nor do we believe this constitutes any form of "suspicious" activity. We understand of course that the delays to your order were anything but ideal. However, all currently delayed orders will be shipped in due course, as was the case when our external warehousing experienced similar IT issues at the end of September.

Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

With kind regards
Your URBANARA Team

Bad first and last experience

This was my first and last time shopping at Urbanara. As other reviews have stated there was an apparent IT problem around the time of my order in September. It took 5 week to arrive, simply not good enough and some items arrived too late for my holiday. I had to return some items so rang to arrange a UPS collection. On the terms and conditions, it states you can arrange a convenient collection time, but the man I spoke to at UPS said "it had to be tomorrow as I had left it too late to request a specific day" (baffled!!!). I therefore had to arrange for someone to be in for the collection as I was at work. Also, I tried to leave a one star review for an item but it hasn't been shown on the website, so they obviously censor reviews too. It is a shame the company is run so badly as they have some nice items online.

Hello Sophie,

Thank you for your review. We are of course very sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with our service. Unfortunately since our warehousing is run externally, there is relatively little we can so, in the event that IT errors or similar occur. A delivery time of five weeks does not reflect our usual standards, and we apologise sincerely for the delay. Our shipping partners UPS provide a largely reliable and cost effective service, and we are sorry to hear that your experience with them has been sub-optimal. Any issues you may experience with UPS, can of course be resolved with our help. Please note that our product reviews are intended solely for product specific feedback, and we will not share feedback that is irrelevant to the quality of our products. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
With kind regards

Worst customers service ever.

Worst customers service ever.
I loved their products but in all my orders I cannot remember one delivery on time. When you ask they can only reply with a standard message about IT problem that caused delay in about 1,100,1000 orders and good will be dispatch in middle of next week. After more than 1 month I received 1 of 5 part and not yet news about the rest. If I reply as they do, my customers, my company will loose all customers in 1 week. I’m so so disappointed, I even ask to be refund and they just ignore me sending me the usual standard answer. I suppose the company is managed by robots, for sure in the customers service dept... but I’m sure that this is my last order with them.

Hello Paolo,

Thank you for your message and interest in our product range. I am sorry to say that we are currently dealing with a backlog of many orders orders resulting from a system error two weeks ago. Unfortunately as a result, we are currently unable to guarantee any delivery times. We assume the backlog will be cleared by the middle of next week. Your order has been packed and is awaiting shipping. Since you have been waiting very long, we have already escalated the matter internally in order to get your goods shipped as soon as possible.

If you are no longer interested in the products you can send them back for free. When UPS attempt delivery you have the option to reject the package, meaning it will automatically be redirected back to us. Alternatively there will be a prepaid UPS return label in the package which you can use to send the unwanted goods back to us free of charge. When the package arrives at our logistics centre we'll then action a refund and confirm via email once this has been done. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this delay might have caused, and if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to get in touch again.

With kind regards

Poor communication, no customer service, slooooooowwwww delivery

Item ordered on 10th September. No update on the item until I emailed them on 17th September, when they told me my item would be delayed. I asked for them to cancel the order as it would arrive too late (was a present) and they said that was not possible.

I chased up again on 27th September and raised a dispute via PayPal which seemed to have prompted my item to have been shipped at least. Conveniently the item was updated to "shipped" within a couple of hours of me raising the dispute.

UPS tracking says that the item was shipped on 30th and is due to be delivered by 4th October.

No customer service to speak of, only provide updates or information when you complain. Now I will have to go through the return and refund process which has poor reviews.

Try find the item elsewhere. I have no faith in this company.

Hi there,

Thank you for your message! Of course you are absolutely right. This delivery delay is absolutely not in our favor and I would like to apologize again to you for this. Since our IT problem, there are only limited information available, but we pass it on to our customers as quickly as possible. I am very sorry that this did not work in your case. We would like to meet you now. Please tell me your order number so that I can refund you the value of the goods. We would like to give you the delivered product due to the inconvenience. So you have no circumstances with a return. I would like to emphasize again very clearly that this delivery delay is in no way our standard and we will do everything we can to prevent this from happening again. I really hope that you can accept our apology.

Best Regards

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service. I ordered an OUTDOOR rug which turned green after being out for approx. 9 weeks - during the summer months. I was told that this was because I had not hung it to dry when it got wet! I was a little confused by this given the description stated it was extremely water resistant and also given it was an outdoor rug. I would have expected this had I left it out over the winter months. This was clearly not fit for purpose but the company refused to listen and also refused a refund. I posted a review on the rug to warn others that this was not an outdoor rug and the review has not been published. Use this company at your own risk the customer service is shocking and the returns policy they state on the website it non existent.

Response to response - the rug was wet due to showers a handful of times and it was hoovered regular. Although there are no care instruction on the website nor did the rug come with any. To clarify the Bottom of the legs on the coffee table we’re rubber not wood!

Hello Donna,

Thank you for your review. We sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with our service. However, once again we would like to point out, that even rugs that are labelled "outdoor" will require a certain level of care in order to guarantee their longevity. As opposed to wool rugs, our PET outdoor rugs can be exposed to considerable amounts of moisture and weathering. This does not however apply when the rug is exposed to such conditions for months on end, without being dried and cleaned regularly in between. We should also add, that furniture and other objects may trap moisture and cause greening of certain areas of the rug. Lamentably we are unable to add the photos you provided on this thread.

Our returns policy of 100 days is based on good will and only applies to unused items in their original packaging. Since the rug was not defective when delivered, we were unable to accept it as a return item.

We thank you for your understanding and welcome any further questions you may have.

With kind regards
Your URBANARA Team

Happy with bedding, but......

I bought their cotton Percale bedding which is very good quality with a great smooth texture. I'm very happy with it. My bugbear is that most of the bedding I needed was out of stock. It also took weeks to come as they were having issues with their suppliers. They also sent me the wrong pillowcases.

Very helpful and would recommend - the only thing i didn't like is that the parent company in Germany kept sending me emails written in German to fill in a questionnaire!

Lack of transparency in refund policy

Refund policy clearly states that refunds are possible before product is dispatched. Customer service contracted this. When parcel finally arrived ( 9 days from order date) I had to be home to refuse it in order to get a refund. I would not use this company again.

Hi Louise,

Thanks for your interest in URBANARA and your valuable feedback. We are again terribly sorry that it was not possible anymore to cancel your order as it was already prepared for dispatch at the time of your request. Since our logistics team at the warehouse works hard to process orders as fast as possible, we only have a very narrow period of time for cancellations and thus refunds. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment it may have caused. If there's anything else we can do please don't hesitate just to get in touch again.

Kind regards,

Customer Service Team

Extremely high quality of customer…

Extremely high quality of customer service, found upon a slight problem with the order – isn't this the only way to tell how a company really performs on customer service?

Extremely happy with the outcome. Quality cotton bedspreads.

I would have absolutely no hesitation from ordering from this company again.

Thank you very much Urbanara.

a very satisfied customer

Arrived promptly and very pleased with the quality.
It’s as described and all dealings with Urbanara were professional and helpful.
Wouldn’t normally order a rug online as thought I’d need to see it but it’s excellent!
