“Nothing wrong with the item but the return policy is unacceptable, charging for returns, I have never had to do this and I shop online all the time. I will not be using them again just due to this policy!”

“Visited Roman in Yate this morning, searching for a Wedding Guest Outfit. Had excellent service and advise from a member of Staff working, unfortunately didn’t get the Ladys name. We Found several dresses to try on, she was so very helpful, very honest, and obviously had experience retail, and what suited me. My husband came in to view the dresses, and agreed on the choice we all decided on. Would definitely recommend visiting Roman at Yate. Thank you so much for your help today. I hope this review gets back to the Member staff. Great assist to Roman Stores.”

“Postage is free for deliveries. The quality for the price is exceptional. If you need to return an item the refund is always straight forward.”

“I think that the returns policy is so out of kilter with other shops it will impact on sales eventually. Like other I will vote with my feet once I've redeemed the voucher I was given which forces me to shop there once more. Indeed, it's that feeling of being dictated to that really annoys me. If I were the director of this company I'd seriously consider changing the policy.”

“I am loathe to tick even 1 star. 0 would be far more appropriate. I purchased a black glitter jacket to wear over the Christmas holiday. Whilst I expected there to be some shedding of the glitter, I certainly did not expect to cover myself and everybody around me plus the carpets and furniture. The shedding was so excessive that I had to return home to change into something less embarrassing. The staff in the Burton-on-Trent store were obviously speaking from a well rehearsed script to address this problem as was the person who answered the phone in your customer services department. Fortunately I still had the label that was attached to this garment and managed to find the stick on notice that customer services mentioned, well hidden might I add in the inner fold that the glitter may transfer. Definitely not a part of the original printed label, so I assume this is something you have done to cover yourselves from what I can only imagine to be numerous complaints. As Scrooge would say, "Roman Originals, bah humbug." I will never shop in any of your stores again!”

“This store would actually do ok if they were fair. I had a job interview and wasn't too sure about a £45 dress, I told the assistant that I may not wear it, wasn't sure. Etc... At no point was I told I couldnt be refunded, I wouldn't have bought the dress. The NEXT day I realised it wasn't right. So took it back! That's when all the non refundable with no faults literature was shown to me and talked about. As a good will gesture they should have refunded as the girl who served me was there and openly admitted it was her fault she didn't tell me. So I called head office from the store, a woman put down the phone on me. Then they gave me store credit. I don't shop in there! It was a one off! I am 38, the clothes are a little mature for me personally. So I had to give the card to my mum so basically lost almost £50. Training must be poor as nothing was communicated to me to make me aware . They kept telling me the refund policy after they had my money. This company must only be interested in money, customer service isn't important and clearly neither are the customers! I will never use this brand again and I will tell everyone I know about the service there are plenty of shops in the high street who value you.”

“Will never shop at Roman again . Fairly good customer service when I went in looking for a top for a special occasion . I realise now it was a hard sell . The two assistants couldn't e more helpful but I was running it of time . I took two to have a better look and decide at home as I hadn't to go . I felt under pressure and after all their help I felt I neded to buy something . Despite what the woman said afterwards no She didn't explain about the no refunds policy . It's exchange only . I wrongly assumed it being a high street store that I could take back for a refund. The lady even said keep the necklace safe in case you need to bring back . I didn't like them after all with the time and space at home . I returned both . I walked in to the store at Solihull and one of the lady's who had helped and couldn't do enough at the time I was buying was there. She seemed to know I was bringing back as she asked from halfway across the shop as I entered in a very loud and abrupt tone " can I help you" ? I explained when I got nearer a bit taken aback that I was bringing back . She then became even louder explaining it was exchange only and that she had explained that clearly at the time as she remembered me. No Shen didn't or I d never have taken one being unsure let alone two . She was quite bombastic , verybliud like she wanted everyone to hear . She told me I had to find something there and then . Isn't isn't have time . Also I felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed . There were customers in the shop could hear everything. I just wanted to leave . I found out later they could give a gift card Valid for 12 months . I felt she was deliberately embarrassing me perhaps even trying to bully me in to keeping it . Luckily I deal too with a different woman when I returned and I got a gift card. She didn't have much to say for herself and virtually hid in the changing room when I returned. If the exchange/ refund policy had been explained that would have been best or failing that politely , calmly and quietly explained in a professional manner that would have been acceptable . It was not it was put to me loudly, aggressively almost and to cause embarrassment and conflict . I In”

“I bought a jacket in the Friday reduction sale and although I tried it on in the shop it was so busy I didn't notice there was anything wrong with it till I tried it on again at home. the back of it was 1 and a half inches shorter than the front, the press studs when used the neck higher on one side and the front lower on one side. So took it back to the Taunton store the day after for a refund on faulty goods. It was refused, the manageress refused to look at it, the assistant pulled it around to try to prove it was not faulty. even though when on a hanger the fault was obvious. the manageress by this time was 'extremely' rude to me, I told her how disgusting her attitude was, and then she just rammed it back in to the bag, thrust it at me and stormed off in a rage. Quite frankly if this is the kind of staff that Roman employ , then it's a wonder that your company is still operating. I 'had' to accept a credit note in the end but still have to find a coat to buy somewhere else, i am 73 years old and have never in my life been treated so disgustingly by a shop assistant before.”

“I used to shop online with Romans quite frequently .But last time its worst experience and I dont think I would buy anything from Romans again. Staffs at Staines are worst.Most unfriendly. I went to return one of my online purchase as it was not the right fit. I was happy to exchange the purchase with gift card. But the staff said she cant do it on Saturday and they made me come again on Sunday. The same lady was there and she was so complaining about the policy their shop have and treated us so badly. Im going to exchange the money I spent.But the lady there treated as if Im getting her money. Never again in Romans!!!! Return policy is worst and staffs are very bad atleast in Staines branch.”

“Roman must be the worst company to buy from I have been a valued customer to Roman from they first opened in Solihull I shop in it about twice a week always purchase something the staff know me from going in so often,I bought a garment on my lunch hour didn't have time to try it on got it home and it didn't fit as I always buy the same size from them unfortunately this size came up smaller I brought it back with tags still on it and in the Roman bag but could not find my receipt. I didn't want a refund I just wanted to try another garment in the same size to see if it fit better,the staff wouldn't hear tell of it after knowing me for many years as we always have a chat. I will not spend anymore money in this shop think they will have to change there exchanges policy if they want to stay in business.”

“Bought 2 tops in a stretchy jersey fabric. Very pleased with both until I washed them ( by hand I should add). One top looked as though a rough comb had been dragged all over it. I returned it with the receipt and exchanged it for the same top, I hoped the first experience was a one off. I have now worn and washed the tops again and both have gone the same way. I have been into the shop this morning to ask if I can return them as faulty. I was told not without the receipt or proof of purchase. I felt like a criminal. I should have quoted the trading standards rule book at them as they clearly don't know or don't care that it is law that they should take back any faulty goods with or without a receipt. I was told to go and get proof it is theirs. I suggested the label is proof enough. I am to request bank statements!! I am not that desperate, I will vote with my feet and spend my clothing budget elsewhere. The tops? I'll do my housework in them. Thank you Corby Roman.”

“I don't know what all the fuss is about. Play them at their own game. I too disagree with their gift card refund policy - it's something you would get in a street market or back in the day! This is the 21st century and they should keep up. However, in the main this will work. If you can get to a shop have a look and try on - decide what you want. Then order online but hunt online for a discount code first. There always seem to these codes that work. I have successfully received free delivery and 20% off a few times now. I think they offer free delivery on over £20.00 anyway. IF you still have to return anything - return it in store to avoid paying the £3.00 return fee. You will obviously only get the discounted amount you paid - it's not a Charity! Then use the Gift card next time you shop online and use a discount code. You will be quids in this way rather than if you use the Gift Card in store without a discount. I shop this way as they don't seem to have discount days in store very often. I also refuse to pay delivery where I can. Simples!”

“Poor customer service, faulty clothes are not acknowledged with a cash refund, upon production of receipt and tagged clothing a week later! I will never purchase from here again! Previous to this occasion I'd made lots of purchases! I haven't recommended Roman to friends or family since. In my opinion consumer rights don't exist with this company. I spoke to CAB regarding this and I should of had a cash refund - I got a gift card in the post! Upon speaking to elderly customers, being unable to return faulty goods is a common occurrence.”
