Zero stars (if I could give a fewer stars I would)

A really disappointing experience. My order was never actually dispatched, despite being given a tracking number for a 48-hour delivery service. The tracking never updated over a 5 day window, when I contacted them to query the tracking, I was told the issue was with the tracking system and to just expect the delivery the following week.

That didn’t sit right with me, so I checked reviews on Trustpilot and quickly realised this seems to be an ongoing issue with them. Based on that, I decided not to wait any longer and raised a chargeback on my credit card.

Would strongly advise avoiding using this company.

Edit:

Interestingly, as soon as the chargeback was approved, the tracking information that had been provided has now mysteriously disappeared altogether. This only reinforces my concerns about how this order was handled from the start.

Edit (after company response):

They’ve now responded four weeks later, claiming they have “no recollection” of any contact and can’t find my emails. That’s surprising, given I did reach out at the time and was told to wait longer from the orders@ email address and from the same member of staff replying to trustpilot reviews

Shifting the issue onto customers for supposedly not getting in touch, or suggesting there’s no record of communication, doesn’t reflect well on Urban Surfer at all. I have already raised and completed a chargeback due to the lack of delivery and unclear handling of the order.

This response only adds to the overall lack of confidence in how issues are managed and affirms my believe that people should avoid purchasing from Urban Surfer completely.

11 days to neither pack a helmet nor explain the delay.

" Hi xxxx,

Thanks very much for your order, it's really made our day! A computer in the warehouse has just made a loud "bing" noise to alert the staff that our number one customer has entrusted us to quickly and efficiently pick and pack their order.

What's next? As soon as we've packed your order we'll send you an email... "

well it's been 11 days and no email so presumeably not packed. why? i guess they don't have it and took my money with a plan to do something but clearly not what their 'folksy' email said i could expect.
i've emailed them.
we'll see

Avoid

Avoid, returned an item bought online using the returns procedure. Tracking shows delivered however no refund. Emails are not answered, had to request a refund through my credit card company. Terrible experience, avoid at all costs.

Further update to say that I did eventually get a refund but only after posting this review

Hi Tom,

I can't seem to find an email with regards to a return from you or an order with us.

We process returns within 7 to 10 days of receiving and an email is sent to confirm once this is processed.

Do not buy from this vendor

Do not buy from this vendor. Absolute scam! He lies about arrival times and gives you a much later date once you have bought the item. He then cancels your order without confirming this but gives no refund. Luckily I went through PayPal and received a full refund.

Hello Urban Surfer Team. I’m reaching out this way as I have had nothing back from a number of emails I have sent. Royal Mail tracking through the service you provided in your returns information shows my item arrived back with you on 09/02/26. When can I expect a refund? The postal address shown on the label is DH6 5AT which is different to the one showing now on your website. I really need the refund. Please can you help? Order number 26608

Hi Rach,

My sincerest apologies, on this occasion we failed to provide the service we should have done, we recently moved warehouse and fulfilment centre which had caused a few delays with returns and deliveries.

I can see my colleague sorted this for you but again, I apologise it took longer than it should have.

We do appreciate your custom.

Kindest Regards

Good communication

I have had to liaise with the customer service team and they were really good in responding to my queries. They replied each time I had to e-mail them.
I chose Urban Surfer primarily because they use Royal Mail to deliver. My items did take a little while longer but it was worth the wait knowing I would not have any delivery problems.
I will be purchasing from Urban Surfer again.

I’ve not received my order

I’ve not received my order, calls aren’t answered and emails not replied to. Worst experience ever. I just want my money back now, but that looks unlikely. Really really poor and upsetting. DO NOT ORDER FEOM THEM!

Miserable retailing experience

Took 2 weeks to arrive
Staff were notably unsympathetic and lacking in apologies
Delivery date was not kept to
Packaging poor
Returns process painful

I ordered online as I wanted a quick and easy purchase.... couldn't believe how far from this it actually was

Avoid of all cost

Avoid of all cost! Appreciate your own mental health? Don't like dealing with people who make feel you are fool!? Great,find another online shop. Because Urban surfers will drive you to insane, supousley the worst online store across UK.

Are they still operating?

Order due to be delivered a week ago - no sign of it, no communication. Have tried to get in touch multiple times with no success… Live chat hasn’t been online at all - unsure if they’re still operating!

Good experience with this website despite the negative reviews. Delivery is maybe not as quick as some but the service can't be faulted.

Happy customer.

I felt I had to leave a review for Urban Surfer to offset so many low star reviews. This was my first experience of ordering from Urban Surfer so I didn't know what to expect. The Superdry shorts I ordered were a really good price although the delivery time was a bit longer than other retailers. I decided to go for it because I wasn't in any great rush. I have to say that delivery then did take longer than expected but a quick email to check up on my order received a fast response to update me that they were awaiting delivery from their supplier. Within a few days my shorts arrived and they're perfect! I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Urban Surfer in the future 😊

Many thanks for your review Gareth. Unfortunately Trust Pilot has been mainly used for disgruntled customers (unfortunately every company has 1 or 2) so it's great to hear from you and we look forward to serving you again soon.

Scammers

Scammers. They try to give lower refund than what I paid for the item. They know what they're doing.
