“Rubbish at crediting your account when you return items. I have waited 21 days still no refund had to ring customer services who sounded uninterested but have said i will get refund in 3 to 5 working days. DO NOT BOTHER BUYING FROM THESE AMATEURS”

“I ordered three tables when they arrived the courier threw them at the door rang the bell and then hammered on the window so hard that I thought it was going to break, he then got back into his van and drove away at high speed. When I tried to assemble one I found that it was damaged. I then tried to return them but my closest place to take them is a shop almost ten miles away. I am now left with three expensive boxes of parts that I can neither return or use.”

“They enticed my elderly Mother to buy a product due to disability but when she tried to return the product the listed outlets for her area had never heard of Chums let alone the return of a parcel to them. 6000 outlets advertised but this data is wrong. Do not sell to the elderly, it is cruel.”

“I bought both my boys slippers for Christmas and within a week both pairs had split at the sides. At £22 a pair I was really disappointed that both of my boys had rubbish presents for Christmas. What sort of a mother am I that buys her 50+ boys slippers that don't lady a week. I sent them back and eventually got a refund but so disappointed.”

“Is this a Chum you really want? 05 December ordered X2 foot stools for elderly relatives 11 December opened to Christmas wrap and X1 badly damaged 11 December emailed them twice explaining problem and attached invoice. No reply to either email. 15 December Chums website said post back via Sainsbury's - shop not accept item. 16 December rang Chums - agreed will collect parcel on 17 17 December waited in all day - no collection 17 December rang Chums said Hermes to collect on 18 18 December waited in all day - no collection. 21 December - Contacted by a Rep. and a collection arranged. 22 December - waited in - no collection 23 December - Item collected 07 January - No further contact and still awaiting news that they received the item and when I may get my £37.93 back. 10 February 2022 I've still not got my refund back. The products are very, very low quality Chinese, very expensive and, to be honest, if I ever get my money money back I will never used them again. The words 'old' 'rope' and 'money' spring to mind. I'm wonder if they also do gun fights and round-up cattle?”

“Ordered ‘wide fit’ gents shoes. Not wide at all. In fact narrow. It said ‘wide fit’ in both shoes. Just looking at them told you they weren’t wide. Appalling misdescription. Total waste of time. Rubbish service. Why bother ?”

“Having ordered a pair of walking boots I was amazed when they arrived that I had been sent a battered old pair with stones stuck on to the soles and uppers which had been well used. If they had apologised right away I would have accepted that someone had had a bad day.However it took many unanswered e mails before I got a refund.Easily the worst Company I have dealt with ever.”

“Absolutely appalling and discourteous service Absolutely appalling service. My order was placed 16 December and has - apparently - been making's journey its from Liverpool to Nottingham since 17 December. Emailing the company with all the details of the order gets an automated reply asking for all the order details. ~ Sending the order details again gets yet another gets an automated reply asking for all the order details. I note they just happen to have a 13p per minute phone line - wondering if that's the scam. Referring to Martin Lewis Order number is 3411107 ..”

“They are an absolute disgrace and are preying on the elderly and people who are unable to shop online or actually get out to the shops. I was horrified to discover my Mother had ordered 8 Christmas selection boxes for her grandchildren at £6 each. She thought she was getting a good deal as it was buy one get one free. So the original price was actually £12 each. The same chocolates retail for £1 in B&M.”

“Bathmat that I ordered was out of stock and was offered a refund or future credit unfortunately I opted for a future credit. I have sent numerous emails to customer services with the hope of receiving the credit against another order. Sadly that failed, a letter to Paul Gray was never answered nor a follow up email. I refuse to phone at 13p a minute so have given up on hoping for my £12 credit - obviously Chums need it more than me. I am sure they will keep sending the brochures but we do have a good recycling system for waste paper.”

“Keep your money in your pocket. Clothes I ordered not true to size. Two sizes too small. Not easy returns for larger items. Plastic fence already broken before even assembling which was cheap quality. Customer service 13 pence a minute. And still using covid as excuse for poor customer service.”

“Chums are still advertising on tv, free delivery and return but they do not say it's free when you order £50 or more. My order was £40 and they charged £5.95 fot delivery. Misleading and does that trading standards?”

“Placed an order which should have taken 3-5 days. 2 weeks later still not received and not even received any form of communication or apology from Chums. Appalling service. Avoid at all costs unless you are willing to just sit and wait and hope your item turns up!!!”

“I ordered curtains with tie backs in a butterfly print. The curtains had the printed fabric but the tie backs were plain white ( even though the photo in the catalogue clearly shows butterflies on the tie backs ) after a couple of contacts with customer services they were unable to help me. I will not be buying from Chums again. False advertisement in their catalogues.”

This company should be shut down by the authorities.They’re a bunch of con artists.The items aren’t what they seem on the photos.The customer service,or lack of it,has to be the worst I have ever witnessed.Don’t even think about getting a refund,it won’t happen,so when you’re stuck with whatever you’ve bought from them THATS IT! They will make every excuse not to send you a refund including saying they have !AVOID AVOID AVOID YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!”
