I order 3 items from River Island and paid express shipping for a wedding I was attending in 3 weeks. I received the items when I returned home from the wedding. Although I do have to say that the clothing was great quality and nicely priced. I was irritated I didn't have it for the wedding. I kept 2 items and returned 1. I have not received my refund yet but they did confirm they were processing it. Over all I think if you are not in a hurry then they are worth it.

Zero customer service, have returned an order 45 days ago, still no refund given, have contacted customer services 4 times and they keep saying they will process the refund. Like, is this a joke?

I did pay 6£ for them to bring my parcel ok the next day. They didn’t brought it on the day that it supposed to be delivered plus they didn’t gave me the option to re-delivery they brought that to the store to me to collect it. Very disappointed with this shop I will not recommend it to anyone.

Last Sunday 8th January my friend and I went to River Island Altrincham Cheshire to look around . Ifound this beautiful coat and couldn t resist. I took to pay for it and is when I was served by Floor Manager OLAIDE . What a fantastic person so polite and lovely smile and so so helpful . What a pleasure to go in a shop ans find such a fantastic person. You have done a very good choice to chose her as a Manager . And by the way my coat as been a success admired by everybody . Absolutely beautiful coat looks very very expensive . Keep choosing such good staff MARIA DE SOUSA-CUNNINGHAM

I went into River Island Mayflower Basildon, to buy some items for my Son who just got his 1st Job, a very polite young lady helped us pick some really nice clothes, casual but really smart, so I like to say a big Thankyou to Brodia as the company complimented him on how nice he looked on his 1st day at work.

River Island has terrible customer service! Don’t order from them it’s not worth it. Going back and forth for over a month to get a refund for an item they never sent.

I ordered two clothing items for my 6-month-old girl, only one item arrived out of the two, the second item was a dress that my daughter had to wear for her first Christmas. It never arrived, I wrote to the people at River Island and they told me flatly that they see the order as delivered and that's it. Of course, I paid for both products, but I received an incomplete package. I do not recommend River Island, extremely unserious!

This website is so irresponsible with their customer service. I ordered something 3 weeks ago and it’s been sitting in a different state for 2 weeks!!! They don’t answer their phones or emails!!! Think twice before wasting your money.

I placed an order on the 24th November. Which did not arrive and I was told it had been lost and it would be refunded and I would have to reorder the items. This was after 2 weeks of waiting. Which I did and they were supposed to be delivered but they did not arrive again. So I phoned again to be told it had been despatched and they would check with the carrier. I then received an email telling me my items had been returned and a refund raised. With no explanation, I needed the items for a birthday present and I ordered them a month in advance. M&S lost my parcel too, but they had my parcel reordered and delivered to me the next day. River Island need to up there game. It has put me off ordering from River Island again.

The team in River Island Portsmouth couldn’t do enough to help. Especially Sales employee Flo who tried so hard to find me the right item. I left the store not only feeling so happy I had a beautiful new coat but Flo made the experience personal and friendly. Thanks for your help
