“Appalling customer service, I ordered a coat from blacks mollycoddle to receive the wrong item, after numerous calls to their customer service , I was told to return the item at my expense, not my fault the item was incorrect, I have since tried to get a refund for the postage but to no avail, so I will not be using this company again, for mail order, unless I buy in store”

“Placed an order for two thermal t shirts, and one pair thermal pants, package delivered intact, but minus one t shirt!! Got in touch with customer service, who was trying to there maybe another parcel on the way, leave it a couple of days? Then tried to put the blame on the courier, as I said parcel intact? Then told to fill the online form, this has been going on since the 10th November!! Just had another email asking me to fill in the I wish to deny row, with tracking number, I cant tell you how many times I've given this information, reading reviews on here, I feel lucky to have recieved at least two of the items purchased, very will I buy anything from this company or any other store linked to them.”

“Ordered three items, a coat and two pants. One pair of pants didn’t arrive, had to send off forms and get in touch for there to be no resolve. One month later and they won’t issue the refund until I close the case with PayPal. Customer service was absolute dog sh1t”

“Ordered a pair of walking boots which arrived within a couple of days. Found they were too small so returned them using their recommended courier and supplied returns label. Was told a refund would be made within 28 days. Guess what? No refund and no way to contact them. Absolute waste of time. A shambles of a company that used to have a good reputation.”

“Similar experience to all of the preceeding reviews. Ordered 2 items on 3rd November and still not delivered. Seems to be an I.T. issue at their end if initial response from them is to be believed. Recent chasing of Customer Services Dept does not elicit any response. My advice is to avoid this company until they can sort out their internal problems.”

“I made an order on the 22nd of November, which I have yet to receive - today is 7th Dec. The online tracking service doesn't work, so I have no idea what the status of the order is. I've emailed Customer Care 3 times but only get an automated response email telling me someone from Customer Care will contact me, but I hear nothing from them. Very poor service.”

“Two Orders since October not delivered!! I have been told today (1st Dec) that Blacks will be unable to fulfil my order placed on 3rd November. My first order on 24th Oct was lost by the courier and I was persueded to re-order (as they can't resend). My second order on 3rd November has been damaged and is on it's way back to the Warehouse as on 1st Dec. They are unable to resend so this is my second order since October that has not been delivered. Apparantly there was an issue with the delivery company Hermes and the Parcel was damaged. They are unable to resend my order even if they have the stock (why?) and will refund so I will never get the goods I ordered. I feel sorry for the customer service staff, they have no capability to help out, it's a shambles. I CAN ONLY STRESS - DO NOT USE BLACKS and would suggest you avoid any other of the group of companies. Save yourself the pain.”

“I placed an order. Received an update it was being processed in the warehouse. One month later no delivery, foundctgat the item wasn't in stock. Requested a PayPal refund. Told it would be in my account by the end of the day. Called a week later to be told it would take up to two weeks for a refund and that they had made a request to PayPal for the refund. Funnily enough 2 weeks later and still no refund. Terrible service. I get the impression the staff dont care about the company reputation or they're about to go bust and they've given up caring.”

“Avoid Blacks online store at all costs. What a nightmare. Placed an order and after 2 weeks of no communication dropped their customer service an email. I would have been better off heading down to the local supermarket and having a conversation with a Teflon frying pan. Nothing is their fault. This team is full of excuses, all of which seem like generic copy and pasted ranging from the order is stuck in the system, we are waiting to hear back from out IT team. Absolutely abysmal service. Escalating to Consumer Direct - their an absolute farce and should not be allowed to operate. Stay well clear.”

“My daughter and I have been to and fro with Blacks after my parcel was not delivered in the first week of October. Hermes have marked it as delivered but there is no signature or photo as proof. I’m now utterly frustrated as I’ve now stuck between false info from Hermes and Blacks total inability to understand so still have no walking boots, and Blacks still have my moneyNightmare!!”

“Placed an order for I stock walking pants, money taken by CC then following day money refunded but less the delivery fee!? The problem is they never confirmed the order by email or provided purchase information. Assuming this is a good way to make money when goods are out of stock... nice little earner or scan. Pls don’t use this company no order number no can refund postage ...!”

“Total rubbish. I ordered a pair of (expensive) boots on 25 September. Seven emails and two phone calls later, I have only got the response noted below by other angry customers. This must be a scam, or are they going bust?”

“I ordered 3 items from blacks in their website since 8th of October. Today is now the 4th of November, I haven't received my order. I emailed them many times they said there is an IT issues and my order was stuck and another email said, it was preparing at the warehouse. I phoned them, they said they'll raise the issue. I asked them, just refund the money back to me, but they said, they can't do it until the issue is sorted. Until when this issue will be resolved? They can't give me a definite date. Have you heard anything like this? Unbelievable!!! Refunding is also not possible yet and delivery is not definite yet? So rubbish!!!”
