“I've ordered from Cult Beauy a few times over the last three years. They always deliver what I ordered and always within the time frame they promise. My experience has always been great.”

“I am deeply disappointed with the level of customer service provided by Cult Beauty. Despite returning an item over two weeks ago and following up multiple times, I have yet to receive my refund. This prolonged delay and lack of communication are unacceptable. It's disheartening to experience such disregard for customer satisfaction. I urge Cult Beauty to address these issues promptly to avoid further dissatisfaction among customers”

“Some of the worst horrible service I have seen! I have gotten different answers about the same issue from different agents and issue was never resolved! One of the agents just ended chat mid discussion. I wasted a lot of time on them. I don’t recommend them!”

“Ordered off cult beauty with no record of my order, just took the money and have no intentions whatsoever of sending the item which was not cheap!”

“As per other reviews, one of the items in my order was incorrect, replaced with an item from the same brand but of lesser value. Contacted CB (I note that their Live Chat feature is permanently unavailable) and was told the item I had ordered was now out of stock, so they could refund me. The only way I can get this refund, however, is to return the incorrect item to them, meaning I am now out of pocket because of their error! Online chat is useless so I reached out on social media, and they still haven't got back to me. Avoid avoid avoid!!”

“Horrific customer service! If you are an online shop then please conduct yourself like other online stores! It’s like the brainless bots they use repeat the same message and you can’t get through to sort the problem! I will never be using this site again! Beyond frustrating when trying to get a refund for an item they sent that was wrong!”

“The items I put into my basket and paid for were switched to inferior items - after looking at reviews it seems this is a common problem. Do not buy from these scammers!!!”

“Cult Beauty sent a wrong item - Online Chat Customer Services were extremely unhelpful stating that I must arrange a return for the wrong item and wait for said item to be received and receipted at their warehouse before they will send the correct item to me. I have sent the return but am therefore now without my order or my money and an unknown wait for the correct item to be sent. Poor service considering the error is solely their own but it is myself that is penalised. Have used them numerous times before but will not use again purely because of the customer service aspect. A wrong order happens and wouldn’t have been an issue if they had attempted to resolve in a better manner”

“I recently experienced significant issues with CultBeauty, which I feel compelled to share. After attempting to place an order that initially failed due to insufficient funds, I was surprised to find a charge on my bank statement nine days later without any notification from CultBeauty. This lack of communication was particularly concerning given that I had received an email confirming the order "was not processed." Upon discovering the charge, I attempted to cancel the order through CultBeauty's website. However, I encountered a glaring technical issue that falsely advertised the ability to cancel orders. Despite following the website's instructions, the cancellation process was inoperative, presenting a facade of functionality that, in reality, did not exist. It's alarming that CultBeauty does not notify customers of subsequent charging attempts after an initial failure, nor does it provide a functional mechanism for cancellation. This experience has severely impacted my trust in CultBeauty and highlights a need for significant improvements in their customer communication and website functionality. In summary, the combination of unexpected charges, lack of clear communication, and a dysfunctional cancellation process paints a disappointing picture of CultBeauty's customer service and operational integrity.”

“I am writing about the missing order 528089573. It is been 3 month since submitting the 'Non-Receipt of Goods' disclaimer form, and there was no action nor refund, despite the initial estimate of 5-7 days. Cult Beauty support team has showed zero desire to resolve the issue and is not willing to help in any way or form”

“I’ve shopped at CULT for a very long time, I had an issue with the pumping mechanism of an expensive produce, so contacted cult via message. Over a month later after numerous follows up, I get another reply from them saying they have sent to a department for a response but haven’t got one and do me to be patient . Patient 30 day after an initial response saying 3-5 working days is more than patient. And I still have no resolve . This is the last time I would shop here .”

“Awful customer service. Don’t actually feel as though I’m talking to a real person, just keep receiving the same standard stock replies. I returned an order and using the tracking number I can see it was delivered back to Cult Beauty on January 2nd. I have been chasing to receive a refund and they maintain that the parcel has gone missing in their warehouse and until it is found, they cannot give me a refund. I’ve done everything right on my part so I don’t understand why they won’t refund me when it’s not my fault it’s gone missing? Will never place an order here again and will warning everyone I know not to shop with them.”

“Awful experience with customer service. Was having issues with the website (lagging, auto refreshing) whilst ordering but still persisted and managed to get my item in my basket. The first order I placed, I was charged the full amount but no order was registered via the website or via email confirmation. I flag this up via my bank, chalk it down to payment system errors and reorder the same item again. This time it goes through and I get the email confirmation immediately so I thought all was well. WRONG. I get an email from Royal Mail today telling me that the parcel is on its way to my old address (which is my saved address on my account but I’d edited it prior to placing my order). The website clearly must have auto refreshed and defaulted back to an old address. Anyways, I reach out to Cult Beauty to see if they can help via their customer service chat feature. The customer service agent I speak to basically refuses to help me and tells me that I am liable as I ‘typed my address in incorrectly and should have been more careful’. Which doesn’t even make any sense as my delivery address and billing address are the same so how would the payment have gone through if I’d typed in the wrong address? She then informs me that it is my responsibility to retrieve the parcel (which is 210 miles away!) and return it, as if I don’t do this then they won’t be able to refund me. I explain the multitude of issues I’d been having that evening but she clearly didn’t care and was insistent on waving any liability from their company and their clearly faulty website design. So now, not only have I paid TWICE for one parcel, I am also not even going to receive said parcel? There’s been no resolution to this so far but I’m just frustrated and disgusted with this customer service experience. She was rude, unhelpful and defensive. If I could give this company 0 stars I would in a heartbeat. DO NOT USE IT!!!!”

“Appalling customer service - I was a new customer and was trying to use a gift voucher. Basket was £44 with free delivery and voucher value was £50. As soon as I used the gift voucher code I then had to pay for delivery - what?! I added a new customer code which gave me free delivery then couldn't use my voucher. The CS team member just said repeatedly "one code only to be used" and was no help when I explained the situation and could not give me an answer on what would happen to the £6 left on my voucher. Shocking and v frustrated”

“The worst customer service I have ever experienced - they refuse to provide refunds for items which they lost in their warehouses, despite providing tracking numbers and proof of postage.”
