Feedback swings between fast, personal help and repeated operational problems. Many shoppers applaud specific staff and quick fixes for orders and refunds. Others often describe rude treatment, refused refunds, and deliveries that arrive missing or damaged. Several reviews also question pricing practices and share frustration with some automated chat exchanges.
Examples from available reviews (Apr 2024 – Mar 2026).
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
“So helpful So friendly”
Reviewer believes prices are inflated and value has declined.
“They inflate the RRP a lot these days.”
Item arrived missing and customer service did not resolve the issue.
“the bracelet box was empty which means no bracelet!”
Candle produced black smoke and caused costly damage to bathroom.
“Candle burned black smoke and ruined my downstairs toilet”
Many reviews describe strong frontline service and often name staff who quickly fixed order or delivery issues. Just as many report hostile or dismissive store encounters, promised exchanges being refused, and damaged or empty deliveries left unresolved. Complaints repeatedly mention security and management conduct, alongside accounts of helpful local managers and online agents.
Several reviewers claim RRPs are inflated and that in-store discounts break down at the till. Some object to collection fees and say they were overcharged on orders. A smaller number mention good finds on affordable branded items.
Some shoppers say website filters and the chat option make buying and refunds quick and simple. Others criticise the chatbot for requesting irrelevant details and say they could not change delivery information before dispatch. Delivery timing and collection steps regularly create friction.
Reviews repeatedly mention damaged, stained, or faulty items, including pilled clothing and parcels that arrive empty. At least one review says a product caused safety or property damage. A few comments note secure packaging and fast delivery, but quality complaints appear more often.
Many reviews praise quick replies and named customer-care agents who rerouted couriers or processed refunds. Others describe ignored complaints, blocked email addresses, and unclear stock or delivery details. Prompt updates sit alongside cases where communication feels withheld or inconsistent.
Reviews are sharply split between five-star stories of efficient, friendly help and one-star accounts of unresolved issues and poor treatment. The most common operational problems involve refunds, delivery accuracy, and clear pricing. Overall impressions often hinge on whether a named staff member stepped in to fix the issue.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.
