“I feel duped”
Written on: 16/04/2013 by janLincoln
I ordered a 10 drawer farmhouse chest over a month ago- the money was promptly taken out of my account! £199.95 I had to phone up to chase delivery and was told it was "lost" I am still waiting a month later- I was told to put my concerns in an e mail and would receive a reply within 24 hours- this did not happen and I am still waiting for the thing to either turn up or some sort of contact from the company. Why did I order this! (read more)

“Notorious SPAM merchants”
Written on: 29/03/2013
Whether you are a customer or not, they will flood your inbox with SPAM e-mail on a daily basis if they ever get hold of your address. Would you want to buy from a company that: 1. Sends SPAM e-mail completely unsolicited 2. Ignores all requests to be unsubscribed from their mailings That alone should demonstrate that they clearly have no notion of customer service. (read more)

“Distinctly Suspicious Trader”
Written on: 19/03/2013
Ordered set of knives from their catalogue. Within days they were rusting away. I returned them as directed by post with a customer returns number. Over a month and 5 calls (premium rate) later they still can't tell me whether the parcel has been received as there is "no paperwork from the warehouse". It seems that this company cannot be contacted directly, they hide themselves behind a call centre who are unable to help you personally as they are totally reliant on their client sending...

“Let me order and pay for a non existent item!”
Written on: 14/01/2013 by Gemit
This company should be avoided at all costs! I ordered a cutlery tray on 3rd January 2013 only to receive an e mail from Paypal 10 days later saying I have been refunded the full cost! I was patiently waiting for my delivery so e mailed Jean Patrique to ask what was going on. They have informed me that the item had been discontinued! Surely the item should not even have been advertised then? Awful experience, just glad I got a refund! (read more)

“Never A Problem...”
Written on: 19/03/2012
I have ordered about 10 items from Jean Patrique. All orders have arrived quickly and exactly as described. One set of stainless steel knives tarnished after 18 months and they were replaced free of charge without question and without having to return them. Everybody has their own personal experiences, but mine has been great. The products are fantastic, speedy service and great customer service. I have recommended to many friends and family members and they have all been impressed. (read more)

Commenter - please be constructive and accurate - not speculative and derisive!
Since writing the review I have had a problem with one order - problem with website not logging orders after completing payment with Paypal - took a little while to sort out with customer service, but the order did arrive.

...but not fantastic either. Jean Patrique kitchenware was recommended to me by a friend who first came across them through a relative - both of whom were happy with the quality and the service. I had also used my friend's knives and cookware previously. I ordered a set of knives and pans. I didn't receive any email notification that my order had been placed - but my new site account showed the order as 'processing'.

“Are they complying with the law?”
Written on: 12/02/2012
As far as I am aware, Jean Patrique, like many other internet selling companies must comply with the Direct Selling Regulation. Within this is that for returned / unwanted items, they must refund the INITIAL cost of P&P (not your return postage). They don't comply. Therefore, they owe everyone who has returned unwanted items this cost. It is important that this is raised. I believe Next and Debenhams may have lost a case on this and had to pay out. This would tun into thousands if everyone... (read more)

Just switched on PC - have been bombarded with three emails to my work email within the space of 36 hours. I've never heard of the company before nor do I use my work email for home shopping, so I'm really annoyed they've clearly bought a load of emails and mass SPAMmed everyone on it. I won't deal with a company that sends you so many emails without permission and suggest you don't either - it's the only way to stop them. (read more)

In November 2012 I ordered a cheeseboard with knives (allegedly reduced from £59.99 to £19.99) as an Xmas gift and a set of cutlery for the extra place settings for our Christmas meal from Jean Patrique. The payment was taken out of my account immediately and an email confirmed the order would be delivered as standard delivery. After 2 weeks the goods did not arrive and I emailed customer services to query progress, received no reply and rang (at huge cost) the expensive customer... (read more)

All e-mail complaints or concerns go to a totally inadequate call centre, who DO NOT (by admission) liaise with customer service staff who deal with same but by phone.

Written on: 05/01/2012
This is my experience too with customer services that should certainly be renamed customer non-services. My experience has left me without goods or refund. My money has gone into a black hole presumably together with members of staff especially anyone beyond the level of a bored customer service person who is rude and disinterested for whose lack of help or response I paid a premium rate. This company should be blacklisted and/or investigated by financial services regulators.

I had never heard of Jean Patrique until I found a leaflet inside a magazine. I ordered a set of knifes and a knife block on-line which came with 6 ceramic pots as a free gift. It was only after ordering that I searched for reviews and was appalled at all the bad reviews I read. I then worried about the order I had placed. Had I read the reviews first, I would never have ordered. However, I have to say that, a few days after ordering I received the goods. including the free gift. I am... (read more)

I've given them plenty of chances, but after many emails to Jean Patrique over the course of over three months I've come to the conclusion that Jean Patrique have no interest in complying with anti-spam laws. The first few times they sounded very apologetic and promised to remove my details. Nowadays they just ignore me. Don't think you will be able to avoid spam by buying from them without setting up an account. That's what I did. Jean Patrique set up an account for me anyway and... (read more)

Written on: 07/02/2011
The most important lesson from dealing with this firm Jean Patrique is if you have a complaint ring their ordinary line on 01795412007 and ask to speak to a supervisor and do not be put off with being passed on to anyone else. Their premium line is 10p per minute from BT and 40p per minute from a mobile.
To get my undelivered goods reimbursed took £20 of premium rate calls but I finally got through to supervisor on 01795412007 who has now reimbursed my costs.
