“Ordered goods on 27th November. Received notice my purchases would be delivered 1st December. Nothing arrived and despite phone calls, emails and chat line I am no further forward knowing when anything will arrive. One of the items was a birthday gift which is now too late. Unfortunately I placed a second order on 30th November, obviously not knowing the issues with this company, and again no idea when it will be delivered. Usual excuses - COVID and Christmas !! Ordered goods from John Lewis 5th December and already know the purchases will be here tomorrow. I will never order from White Company again and no doubt obtaining a refund is going to be a nightmare. I would also give 0 star if it was possible.”

“Worst service ever. I ordered a pair of cashmere socks (£64 incl. postage). After 3 days still hadn't been despatched and I heard from a friend that her order took 3.5 weeks to arrive, so I was nervous and called them to cancel. My "query", as if it was ridiculous, had to be referred to the "team leader". Was given the third degree questioning as to why I wanted to cancel. The best the team leader could do was look into it further and respond by email. I asked how long I would have to wait for their decision. "48 hours". So I tried Chat - with Ronaldo. He seemed perfectly nice and polite. After 27 minutes - see screenshot - he finally said it was cancelled and gave me a ticket number. Said refund would be PROCESSED in 3 - 5 days. That's going to mean at least a week until the money is back in my account and I'm not holding my breath. I am only awarding one star because there is no option for no stars.”

“Half an order, 5 phone calls several online chats ended abruptly, still no completed order, no follow up emails. I am £52.70 out of pocket, this is my hard earned money. You may not think this is a lot but me it is. I shall not be buying from you anymore.”

“I ordered some wrapping paper, gift tags and some tree decorations, Order arrived in good time, but packaging was awful. Someone had flattened a normal cardboard box, put my items inside and cello taped the edges together, no protection at all. One item was missing. Called customer services, waited 30mins for an answer. Was told the item would be replaced. A couple of days later got a parcel from them with the wrong item in it. Tried to call, but phones weren't working, so I emailed instead. Got a response this evening to advise me that the item was out of stock and discontinued, no mention of a refund. Called customer service tonight, on hold for 80mins! Gave up in the end and used the live chat feature, which only took 30mins! Awful customer service, I won't use them again.”

“UNACCEPTABLE! I placed an order for a gift and paid for overnight shipping. I received an email stating that I returned it and would receive a partial refund. I didn't return something that hadn't even arrived yet. The gift is late and I want a FULL REFUND OF $74.00 or my attorney will be the next phone call.”

“This company is ridiculous. I have ordered a pillow on the 27th of November that cost £45!!! I paid for a regular delivery 3-5 days, and almost a month later I have yet to receive the pillow. In the meantime, I have moved to a new home, called the customer service and they won't change my address even though the pillow hasn't been dispatched yet. They suggested having the pillow deliver to the old home, and if I can get hold of it, call them back and let them know that the pillow has been lost. This is utterly ridiculous. £45 for a pillow and they can't even change the address!!!!”

“Hello there, I just recieved a robe I ordered online. Unfortunately the quality is poor for the price. It just seems like a cheap robe that definitely didn't cost 104 euro. The pyjamas I ordered are great quality.”

“Clothes are way to over priced, even on sale. Would never give them my money. RIP off. Some of the clothes on sale looked like they were worn. And even the sale prices are high”

“Sent back 1 month ago (30 days) a £75.00 item of clothing, poor quality, included the Hermes tracking proof of sending, 30 days later, 6 e mails all promising to escalatd the issue, phones not answering and no sign of a refund. We are initiating a CCJ in the small claims court which is dealt with at Rushton. It has crossed our mind, is White Company in trouble, hence withholding refunds.”

“Got a generous gift card, but honestly, I had no idea what to buy there because it’s a store full of overpriced and low quality items. Ordered bed linens now on sale, which are still more expensive than similar quality in other stores. Wish I got a gift card from John Lewis or Amazon instead. I would have had much more joy spending the value there. Let’s see how long delivery takes. Don’t expect much looking at the reviews.”

“I ordered a dress from the White Company so when I received an email telling me it was on its way via HermesI was delighted. It said I could track it on the Hermes website. When it hadn't arrive after 8 days, I did track it only to find and I quote ' We're sorry your parcel has been delayed, we'll have it on the move in the next 24hours'. After four days it still hadn't arrived so I rang the White Company only to be told it was lost and offering me a refund. An hour later I received an email from White Company saying and I quote ' We're sorry that these items weren't suitable this time', suggesting I had returned them. Clearly this is not the case. I am surprised they are using Hermes as they do not have a good tract record for safe delivery.”

“I ordered 2 white pjs offered with a 20% sale code which was accepted however at the end of checkout the code due of $43.60 was never applied. I requested it be applied to my paypal as a credit and the answer 5 times was no. That I needed to either return the 2 pjs or order a new piece of clothing and get the discount. A true bait and switch. Never ever again will i order from this company.”

“I have just received an £89 blouse from The White Company advertised as ‘premium pure silk’. According to its label it is 100% Polyester !! Not what you expect for the price - or from this company that says it prides itself on its thought care and attention. I have tried to call and speak to someone but it isn’t possible at the moment. So unhappy.”

“I placed an order 3 weeks ago. Until now its not even dispatched . Tried to reach customer service by phone(not possible) by mail(no reaction) through chat( gave my order number etc 3 times no response). Unbelievable bad customer service. And Corona is no excuse at all. The questions below are useless as you can not fill in more than one option.”
