Made an order. Said it was to be delivered in 2-3 days. I was not given a tracking number. Then when I went to message them 2 weeks later, they said it would be late.. 10 more days.. which is fine.. i understand during these difficult times there will be delays. I messaged again last week and was told that my order was re sent back to the company and that there was nothing they could do about it. Said I got a refund.. but I dont have the refund yet. I think this company is a scam and fake. Do not buy from them.

I've ordered a handful of times from them, and their "next day" delivery always takes up to a week as they use Hermes. In this most recent order its been a week and all they can say is that they're waiting to hear back from Hermes. Customer service is generally helpful; however I've rated one star as their Twitter team are so rude! After sending two DMs I got a reply from somebody called Hannah, saying "Please be aware that this is not an instant messaging service." In my opinion there's no need to be rude or snarky, particularly when dealing with a frustrated customer who hasn't received the items or service they paid for! As a result of Hannah's poor attitude it's sadly unlikely I'll bother shopping with Beauty Bay again. :(

Purchased a lip pencil - very poor quality does not draw clear crisp line just a smudgy one - complete waste of money

Placed my order on 31st Jan, received an order confirmation and despatch email within the day. Order delivered today (1st Feb) and I didn’t pay for expedited shipping! Great product prices, some cheaper than other sites, recyclable packing and swift delivery in my case.

Placed an order and can’t even get something as basic as an order confirmation! Seeing all those bad reviews about their shipping performance on the internet I’m starting to regret purchasing from them. I’m in touch with your CS already getting nowhere. Now, I’ve asked for my order to be cancelled - again, silence at the other end.

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered something jan 13th it is now jan 23rd no tracking information. Customer service only answers Twitter DMS but takes forever to reply. I've gotten absolutely no where from with them. very disappointed.

Dear beauty bay, I really Am so upset with you! I really don’t want to email you guys because it takes forever to hear back from you and I need this ASAP! my name is Poppy Stevens and I have a beauty bay account and I am so so stressed out about this. I have got a beauty bay gift voucher for Christmas and activated it 2 days ago. It told me to wait 2 days for it to be used, so I did. Now I have got everything in my basket ready to pay and you guys make it so freaking complicated to use this stupid gift voucher! So It finally discounted my voucher and I still had some money to pay. So I payed and it went through into my bank. Then 10 minutes later didn’t go through my bank and so I tried to pay again on the website and now it says that I have used my gift voucher when I haven’t!! Can I please have some professional help I am so fed up with beauty bay I’m NEVER using it again!! Please please help me out! Thank you Poppy

Ordered Skinceuticals CE ferulic from Beauty Bay. Took over 3 weeks to arrive. Poor packaging. Opened it and it fizzed all over my sink ... they said they would send a replacement. Now nearly Jan and nothing despite contacting them by email serveral times - with photos of spilt product.

Horrible experience with shipping and customer service Shopping on Beauty Bay has taught me one thing. Everything is fine until a problem arises. As soon as that happens they either ignore your emails or are completely unwilling to actually solve the issue. I do not even know why I bothered buying from them again since I had a bad experience in the past too. I only know that this will certainly be the last time after what happened. My parcel was dispatched on November 16 and today, a month later, I have not received it yet. I paid 5 euros for delivery and it was supposed to arrive in 7-10 working days, something that of course never happened. Instead, my parcel shows no tracking update since November 24. I contacted customer service and they keep telling me that they will contact the courier and get back to me. However, it has been more than a week since then and I wonder how long it takes them to track a parcel. It feels like they are just ignoring me and trying to avoid giving me a refund. They do not seem to realise that, whether the delay is their fault or the courier's fault, I placed my order on their shop so it is their responsibility to find a solution promptly. At this point, I am so disappointed and angry with the shipping as well as the customer service that I just want my money back now.

Outrageous experience with Beauty Bay. In less than 24 hours my purchase was in my hand. Packed carefully with tissue paper for me to use as my purchase was a present. Along with 10% off my next purchase and a bottle of hand sanitiser. I'm in awe. Thank you!

I would say this is my worst shopping experience. It is all easy and quick to shop but then its almost 3 weeks now and i got a email to review the products. How would i do that? there is no way i can cancel my order. My friends also had the same problem and will never use this website to reorder.

Have sent messages on Facebook and Instagram. Also posted on posts they have posted for an update on my order. Not one reply. Placed my order 3 days ago and have have no communication since. Says my order was dispatched but got no tracking number to track. Absolute disgrace for getting back to customers. Will never order off yous again and the customer service is non existing

Such a horrible website and poor customer service, I Ordered over €100 worth of products got a haul number and they took my money. Auto correct changed my address and i didn't notice until i had placed the order, i have contacted them several times and they refused to make any amendments due to the fact that they are so busy due to black friday. Beauty Bay has plenty of competitors to choose from. I would urge you to pick from any one of them, over this rude, unhelpful company that has proven they could not care less about their customers, so long as they have their money.

My products were as described, well packaged and arrived quickly. However, I bought on Beauty Bay because the prices of the products and shipping were reasonable, until I received a notice saying "duties" were due before my package would be released upon reaching Canada. The package had also been opened and noted by Canada Post as damaged! Defeats the purpose of shopping online during a Pandemic for lower prices, when you get charged duty equal to half the cost of what you paid for your items! Won't be shopping with Beauty Bay ever again, plus I am still waiting for the second order I placed a few days after the first order. My second order seems to be stuck in limbo, and I know I will have to pay more duty on this second package! Customer service was a "Bot" when I tried to contact them, and totally useless. Not happy! Definitely shopping elsewhere. I will also not be paying duty on this second order and it can return back to Beauty Bay!

Such a horrible website and poor customer service, I ordered several products on the 8th of November and chose next day delivery and it still hasn't arrived!! Tried contacting them more than once and still haven't received anything. Hermes has also stolen my parcel after they received it and when I contacted them tried to tell me they couldn't find my parcel? LOOOL but its funny how I got an email saying my parcel was at their local depot. DONT ORDER FROM BEAUTY BAY AND DONT TRUST HERMES
