Order Reference: 31039 (WEB31039) It seems like this company have given up. They're quick to take your money but the items you buy don't show up, and they don't respond to emails.

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…

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…

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.

No issues for my order

I was concerned after reading the reviews but ordered a Bart’s bobble hat as they were cheapest and it was all processed and delivered within 3 days. No complaints so just wanted to say my experience was really positive

I purchased a Roxy hat before reading any reviews. And obviously began to panic once I had.
I e mailed the company, and received a response within the hour, giving a Royal Mail tracking number. The product arrived a few days later.
I for one have no reason to complain and the service was faultless

Order delayed and delayed so asked them to refund which it was. Charged £2.87 for a 3 minute customer service call. Shocking.

Hi Jo. We offer a number of ways to contact us including email, chat and messenger so you are welcome to contact us in other ways if you prefer. I'm glad we were able to sort out your refund and I'm disappointed that this warranted a 1* review.

This is a scam website

Update to the original post, below. The company has been in touch and it seems they moved premises and were have operational issues that delayed the delivery, which I then cancelled. They’ve informed me they’re not fake and it’s not a scam, so I wanted to update this review to reflect their comments.

This is a scam website. Do Not buy from them. I ordered Dirty Dog sunglasses and, after missing the delivery date I emailed them to enquire about my order. I was told that they’ve moved premises and my glasses will be with me shortly. Still not got them and have had two further emails ignored. The telephone number just hangs up when you call. It this type of crap that means we all end up just going to Amazon rather than independent traders. I’ll be contact trading standards about this fake company

Hi David. I'm sorry for the poor experience you've received. As you know, we've gone through some internal changes recently including a warehouse move which has meant a poor service for some of our customers. As per your request, your refund was processed on 5th September. We do have the sunglasses in stock and now that our issues have been resolved, we can dispatch these immediately if still required.

Hi Steve. I'm sorry to hear of your experience. We have recently moved premises and all staff have been involved in getting set up in our new warehouse. This means some emails have had a delayed response (although all emails do get answered within 24 hours) and our phone lines have not been working as expected. You haven't provided your full name or an order number so I'm not able to check the status of your order. Normal service has recently resumed so please let us know if you still require further assistance.

Thieves!

Terrible communication, phone numbers which don't exist or don't get answered, I ordered in March, and have had a cancellation from them only 2 days ago. No explanation, though reading the reviews its all there. Amazing how desp people can still rob your money and get away with it.

Hi Adelle. I'm sorry to hear of your experience. The previous owner of Urban Surfer unfortunately went into liquidation in May 2024 and were not able to fulfil all orders or issue refunds due to the liquidators taking over the bank accounts. All orders are covered by your bank and you'll be able to claim a full refund from them. Since the end of May Urban Surfer has been ran by a new owner and the normal great service you would expect from us has now resumed. I hope to see you again soon.

BEWARE - Company Is In Liquidation

Do not order from this company.

I have just queried an outstanding order from 5 weeks ago. Just had a reply from their office manager stating the company is in liquidation. Despite this their website is still up and trading. This is what the legal position is, "It's your statutory duty to cease trading if your company is insolvent, and therefore, enters company liquidation".

Copy of the e-mail I received is below.

Hello Adrian,

The company is now liquidated and we have been advised you should contact your bank to ask about a refund.

My sincerest apologies.

Kindest Regards
Emma Roberts
