Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People report issues with their orders, particularly regarding delivery times. Many consumers mention delays, with orders taking weeks or even months to arrive, despite initial promises of delivery within a few days. A significant number of reviewers also express frustration with the company's lack of communication. Consumers report that they are unable to reach customer service through phone, email, or live chat. This lack of responsiveness has led to considerable dissatisfaction, with some people stating they are seeking refunds through their credit card companies. While some reviewers are satisfied with the products themselves and the website's ease of use, these positive experiences are overshadowed by the prevalent issues with order fulfillment and customer support.

Non existent customer service - order unfulfilled

Non existent customer service, who don’t respond to any form of contact. The phone line’s down due to a technical error.. (in this day and age really?!), the web chat function is completely useless and emails are never responded to. Didn’t hear anything for over a week after placing my order, no confirmation my order had been dispatched, despite stating 2-3 days for delivery. Had to raise a dispute with PayPal for a refund. Avoid and take your custom elsewhere!
