“What a stunningly beautiful dress for an upcoming christening! So flattering too - the laru wrap dress”

“Blouse is pretty. fit is not similar to photos. The arms are very narrow. The bust area does not allow for any breasts at all. The sleeves are so tight, and I have very thin arms. Love always pretty. The length of the shirt is long enough to tuck in. Would not recommend this shirt.”

“I ordered 2 garments from SilkFred and purchased the next day delivery as I needed them for the following evening. I was sent 2 delivery documents via email that stated 2 garments and 1 delivery. The following day I received one garment and the other was missing. I contacted customer service to be told that I purchased next day delivery on only one garment and was told at checkout that the other was a standard delivery. Obviously because I wanted both garments I wouldn't have purchased them if this was the case and has anyone ever heard of anything so ludicrous as to buying next day delivery on just 1 item when you're purchasing more than 1. I spoke with 3 customer service agents, the first one who cut off our conversation followed by another 2 with similar demeanor. I would never use this company again as they are fraudulent. There was no attempt to show any discretion at this and this was just told repeatedly that it was only next day delivery on 1 item. Avoid at all costs and save your money.”

Hi there, I am really sorry to read this. Please be assured we are not a fraudulent company. As a website for over 900 independent brands, not all of the brands offer next day delivery. At checkout you do receive a shipping option for each individual item, you must select next day delivery for each item, however some items will only be available on standard delivery. I am sorry for any confusion caused. Tamsin @ SilkFred

“Please never purchase from them! Horrible returns process. I followed all the steps to return and my package was sent back to my address with no refund. I contact customer service and the returns from SilkFred generated had the incorrect address on it. I was then asked to do the same process again with the correct address. I was then informed that they provided the incorrect address again. Horrible customer service and returns process. Please do not risk ordering from them.”

Hi Katrina, I am really sorry to read this. I can see my colleague has been in touch and the original label did have the correct address so we will be looking into why the parcel was returned to you. I can also see your refund has been processed for you, this will clear in your account shortly. If you need anything else please do come back to her email. Thanks, Tamsin @ SilkFred

“Refused return of an item despite it being extremely poor quality. SilkFred takes no responsibility for selling independent retailers items as well as their own, you may as well be buying from Ebay. I paid £45 for something that probably cost £2 to make in China and feel very ripped off. Will not be using again and would not recommend.”

Hi there, I can see my colleague has been in touch explaining that the reason your return wasn't accepted is because you were out of the return window. If you had contacted us within the returns timeframe, of course we would have been able to accept this return back. Our returns process is stated on our website, I am sorry if this was missed.

“Disaster for refunds DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM - seems I’m not the only one with this issue, reading the reviews on here. It was my first time ordering from them & certainly my last”

Hi there, I am sorry to read this. I have taken a look into your order and can see that your return doesn't show as back with us yet. As you are unable to provide your proof of postage, we are not able to track this and find out where the item is. There is a chance this could have been lost in transit and if it has been, you would need to make a claim with Anpost. I have emailed you to ask for some more info, could you check for this and come back to me? Thanks, Tamsin @ SilkFred

“Poor customer service and poor quality. Ordered some dresses for a ball, they were awful when they arrived, fabric was horrible and they were expensive! Not at all worth the £66+ for each dress! Didn’t realize the returns period was 14 days and my daughter had been very poorly so was quite distracted. Presumed the returns period would be 28 days as most places are online, when my baby was better I tried to return the item and was unable to. Explained this via their customer service online chat but they refused to refund then £130 on two dresses that I’m now stuck with. It’s quite a considerable amount of money and I feel extenuating circumstances. I will never purchase from Silk Fred again and would highly recommend if anyone does they look at the returns period and look elsewhere for much better quality dresses at a fraction of the price! I ended up buying my dress from Bohoo for £28. Far superior quality and service. Also always purchase from ASOS and never have had any issues with them! Returns policy is also fab! I understand there is a 14 days return policy but I think in certain circumstances a little decent customer service would go a long way.”

Hi there, I am sorry to read how disappointed you are. I have taken a look into your order and can see we have been in touch and I was able to accept 1 of your items back as goodwill. Unfortunately, we can't make decisions on behalf of the brands and we can't override their decision to accept a late return. If you need anything else please do come back to me. Thanks, Tamsin @ SilkFred

“Do not buy from this company. I spent over £200 on dresses for a wedding. One dress arrived which I decided to return as the fabric was such poor quality…still waiting on a refund for that return which was over two weeks ago. The rest of the dresses were never delivered, either stolen by the courier or off of my doorstep whilst I was at work. I have been speaking to SillFred regarding this for a month now and still have no idea what is going on. They have now stopped responding now that I have requested a refund. I cannot afford to just spend £200 on clothes that never arrive and I feel completely at a loss with what I should do.”

“They lost my package, were sympathetic but slow at responding and left me without an outfit! It could have been shipped next day but apparently that was too much to ask after spending nearly £300 with them! Choose better couriers or offer better alternatives!”

Hi Alexandra, I am sorry to read this. I can see we sorted this issue for you within just over an hour and as it was too late to ship a replacement on next day delivery we processed a refunded as requested if it wouldn't reach you in time. I do understand this is disappointing to not have the order in time however courier delays are out of our control and I can only apologise on their behalf.

“Do not buy from silkfred!!! Have been a good customer to this brand, never had to send an item back before this one.sent coat back on 10th Jan, they sent an email to me confirming that the item was received on 20th Dec,said my £65 refund would be with me by the 3rd Jan, after numerous emails back and forth and promises from the so call team, it is the 7th Jan now and still no refund and just generic replies. I can ill afford to lose nor wait for my £65 refund, I am sick of the excuses. Silkfred needs investigating, this is theft , know doubt I will get another pathetic 'we are so sorry' reply well your not sorry ,just give me my money back, other companies never take this long. Something is very wrong with this company, think twice before you buy anything, they are out to rip you off!!!!”

“This company charges so much for delivery for sale items and then you have to pay to return sales items. I also didn’t have a package delivered and they were no help so I lost the money I paid for the item. They really need to catch up with the times and sort their delivery prices out. A lot of people buy sale items, but then have to pay for postage is a joke. I was going to order 3 dresses but I won’t now as it’s nearly £8 delivery and I’ll have to pay return costs id they don’t fit.”

“I have bought and returned a number of items from Silk Fred over the last 4 years and have been really pleased with my purchases and ease of return. However - I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience. I ordered an item which was not suitable. I was not given the option to return it on my account because the status was - and still is - track package only. When I contacted SF about this - initially I had no response. Today - via live chat - they have told me that as I didn’t return it within 14 days - I cannot have a refund . The customer service live chat did not seem to get the message that I had no option on my account to return it. I have taken pics of the status of the item on my account. Just awful. So surprised and disappointed that I will not have the confidence to order anything from them again.”

Hi Jan, I am so sorry to read how disappointed you are. As stated on our returns T&C's a return does need to be put through on your account within 14 days of delivery. If you do come across any issues when requesting a return, please do contact us straight away and we can of course get this resolved for you. However as we didn't hear from you until 25 days after you received your order we aren't able to accept the return. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thanks, Tamsin @ SilkFred

“DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. I returned a dress (£49.99) as it didn’t fit. I followed the returns procedure via SilkFreds website. Evri provided the returns label and I printed it at home and dropped item at designated parcel drop shop. I have provided photographic evidence of my paper receipt to SilkFred when I did not receive my refund. Only to be told that I had sent it to the wrong address and was therefore not eligible for a refund! I have sent countless emails providing all evidence of my return of the item only to be met with more evasive rubbish about being at fault and then them blaming Evri. Evri is silkfreds chosen delivery service but they take no responsibility for anything. Evri now seem to have not delivered my item to anywhere!! It’s been over a month. This has got to be a well thought out scam. Beware.”

Hi Lisa, I am really sorry to read this. I have looked into this and can see your refund has been processed. Evri is not the courier stated to use on our returns process. we do send Royal Mail labels to customers when a return is requested. Our brands do choose their own couriers, and some do use Evri for delivery. I can see this has now been resolved for you. If you need anything else do get in touch. Thanks, Tamsin @ SilkFred

“Another customer who missed the 14 day return notification period by a few days. Same response from customer services as everyone else seems to have received even though they would get items back within a 28 day window. Terrible and unhelpful customer service. I will not be ordering from them again and recommend nobody else does either.”
