“Order still pending two days later! Customer service 36 minute wait. This will be my last time ordering from The White Company. Appalling communication. Will also be returning my dinner service which has stained and squeaky!”

“Extremely disappointed by bad practises of The White Company - ordered an item from their online shop on Monday 23/08 - this is a gift I need by Wednesday the 01/09 - 3-5 days delivery - was hoping for the item to be with me on Friday 27/08 or Saturday 28/08 - nothing. On Sunday 29/08 I checked status of my order and it turns out nobody has even started processing it - 6 days after I've placed an order. Contacted their customer service - turns out the item is out of stock and they are waiting for when they have more of this stock so they can allocate my item to my order. It was out of the stock and it let's you order it and nobody updates you on the fact, that they don't actually have it and it could take weeks or maybe even months until they get hold of some so they can finally send it to you!! So folks if you need a gift and it needs to be with you by particular time - even if you order next day delivery it might actually take weeks or months until you receive the item, because the website doesn't tell you it's out of stock and nobody else bothers to let you know either!”

“Ordered a gift and asked for a personal message which was screwed up within the box. Was very disappointed I didn’t get a small bag to put the gift in, as you do in the stores with the classic black ribbon and tissue paper”

“Ordered next day, did arrive but duvet cover packaging and duvet damaged, big rip. Did replace but took 2 days. Not as good quality as previous bed linen, same thread count etc, but does not seem as white and not as soft and luxurious and does not wash and iron as well as their other older bed linen. Don’t think I will go back to them! Had been a regular customer”

“The pajamas I bought shrunk horribly. Who would ever think pajamas would shrink with normal washing? They would not replace them or accept any responsibility. Never again!”

“Vile customer care, appalling stock updates on their website. I feel cheated, the company gladly took my money but I never received the items which I paid for and now they claim are out of stock, when they where still available to buy online days later. Still waiting for a refund. Stay away.”

“I have been left feeling very annoyed after finding that a quilt cover that I bought in the summer of 2018 is not the proper size of what it was sold as. On contacting customer services I was offered a goodwill voucher for £15.00 which is very poor considering the quilt cover and pillowcases cost me £99.00 and now I can't use them. I still have the receipts to prove this. I bought three king size quilt cover sets at the same time and had just been using two of the sets. When I used the third set it seemed very short and when I measured it found that it was over 21cms shorter than it should have been rendering it useless as it's too short for a king size quilt and too wide for a double quilt. While I'm having a moan about the White Company I will just add that the buttons on their quilts do not stay on and mostly need to be sewed on again properly as well. Not very good when much less expensive producers manage to get their buttons to stay on.”

“My mother ordered and paid for a beautiful cocktail trolley for my 50th birthday. It arrived promptly but it had a number of significant scuff marks on the stainless steel. I have seen other reviews complaining about the quality. It's not cheap - it's £325 so you would expect a well-made product. My mother is elderly and very unwell with a heart condition so I helped her to deal with customer services and chatted to someone called Lorenzo who said that the item would be redelivered the next day and the damaged item picked up in a few days. It seemed like a great solution and I was impressed by the ease of getting the situation addressed. It never happened though. Since then (it's been 3 weeks) my poor mother and sister have been on the phone endlessly - being passed from person to person - all making promises and never delivering. She has even been on the phone to the delivery company for hours trying to organise delivery and now it seems the order is no longer showing on her White Company account and Wincanton (the logistics company) have told her that her delivery has been suspended. We still have no clue when the item will be delivered. My mother has been crying and worrying for days about this, and because she is so unwell and has had such a terrible experience, I have had to try to take over. I have just been told that we were 'misadvised' by Lorenzo and there is no way that even a large and expensive company like the White Company can organise an expedited delivery even in the case of fulty goods and it would cost them 'millions' to change their contract with them to be able to organise an expidited delivery - which I thought was a bit steep and also a bit inprobable. Apparently if things go wrong - there's absolutely nothing they can do about it. The item is in stock. Apparently they have 64 of them. But they won't deliver them. Who knows if I will ever get this item? Neither the White Company or their logistics company seem to know. Given the prices that this company charges - you would expect significantly better service. Don't order from them for a special occasion. They will let you down. They will promise the earth. They won't deliver. They didn't spoil my 50th birthday but they spoiled it for my sister and mother who cried telling me about the whole ordeal and couldn't apologise enough. I've had my mother crying on the phone again just now. The White Company wanted my mother to give her permission for them to deal with me. I am now having to travel half an hour away to see her as she has worked herself up trying to tell me what has happened. I am furious. I could care less about the cocktail table now. I am only chasing this because my mother won't rest until the matter is sorted. Do not deal with this company.”

“I ordered a skirt from them. It arrived sooner than they estimated. DHL emailed to ask if I wanted to waive the signature so they could just leave the package. I did and it was left on my door step. The box was a bit banged up but the skirt was in pristine condition and it is GORGEOUS! I am so happy with my purchase! Thank you WC.”

“Absolutely awful service. Ordered a candle for a bereavement. Didn’t get a confirmation email but the payment was shown as pending on my bank statement. Two weeks later and nothing. I check my bank statement and the payment is not showing up. I feel I’ve really let down this person, and I hope the white company feels they’ve let me down. I will never shop there again.”

“Unfortunatly every bad review herw is true. I made a 600 pounds purchase to Israel before i read these reviews. I was hoping it isnt true but the delivery service is by far the worst i have seen. I work with dhl and ups all the time and its nothing simillar. I still havent recieved my package, its been a month. I have also paid already for the release of the package and still, getting no answers. This is unfortunate as it seems the company itself have nice quality things.”

“This company doesn't even deserve one star. I have made numerous email complaints since receipt of my goods on 21st November 2020 only to receive acknowledgement emails, some cobbled together in various fonts, stating they are genuinely sorry and it has been escalated to senior management who will contact me within 48-72 hours. However, after over 8 weeks I am still waiting for a resolution to my complaint. I certainly won't be purchasing anything from this company every again!!!!!!!”

“Absolutely dreadful experience with White company. Customer service ( if you can even call it that) is the worst I have experienced in ages, rude and poorly mannered ready to blame their customers. Average waiting time if you have to reach customer support is 30/40 min. I have given up on the White company and returned everything I have ordered”

“A product advertised discounted price but system charged full price, I contacted the white company and informed the problem with proof of screenshot with sale price and asked them to arrange refund for the difference. They claimed the discounted price for different colour although the screenshot clearly show it was for the colour that I ordered. Instead of rectifying this and honour the price advertised, they told me I can cancel it or proceed at full price!”

“I made an order for a comforter in November, and a few hours later I found out that I would not receive it before Christmas, so I called in to the company for cancellation, got a confirmation number and etc. A month later my credit card statement showed that I got charged, and I have got no merchant delivered nor notice of any kind from the company. I tried many times to straighten out the matter but not successful. They just made it very difficult to cancel orders. They charged you anyway, without anything delivered to you. That's equivalent to SCAM!”
