Many reviewers like Chi Chi London dresses for their fit and finish. Many customers also report long waits for refunds after returns, or refunds that never arrive. Several shoppers say they cannot use the returns portal or that tracking does not work. A small number of reviews single out staff members who fixed individual cases.
Examples from available reviews (Oct 2022 – Mar 2026).
Returned coat two months earlier and still no refund despite providing new details.
“Over two months and several emails later I haven’t had a refund.”
Unable to use returns portal and customer service ignored emails for two months.
“Everytime I try and use the returns portal it comes up with an error.”
Dress delivered quickly, fits nicely and is well made.
“The dress fits nicely and is well made.”
Staff member Corinne helped promptly and resolved the refund issue.
“I really want to thank Corinne so much for her care and cooperation”
Many reviews say refunds were not paid even after returns were confirmed. Several customers describe chasing payments for weeks or months with little or no progress. A smaller group mentions quick help from named staff who resolved the issue.
Several reviewers call the clothing well made and fairly priced. Some say return fees and money they could not recover made the purchase feel less worthwhile. Value complaints appear less often than refund or portal issues.
Many shoppers report a returns portal that fails, with error messages when they try to start a return. Several orders show tracking that does not work or no dispatch updates. A small number say the site is easy to use and the size guidance helps.
Many reviews describe dresses that fit well and feel well made. A smaller number say items did not match the photos or expected quality. Positive product comments show up often alongside complaints about after-sales service.
Many customers describe emails going unanswered, slow replies, and phone lines they cannot reach. A few report success after finding messages in spam or after direct help from staff. Some shoppers say refunds were offered as vouchers instead of being returned to the original payment method.
Reviews split between strong product satisfaction and weak after-purchase support. Unresolved returns and refunds drive most negative impressions. A smaller group reports smooth resolutions and a satisfactory purchase.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.
