“Excellent customer service ”

★★★★★

written by Daisydot1 on 12/03/2023

Having found a chair we liked the look of online we were struggling to find a local retailer to see the chair. I happened to see that Holloway of Ludlow did stock the chair. Using the contact form online I sent a request as to whether we could view the chair in store. The manager arranged for the chair to be taken to the store nearest to our home and contacted us to let us know it had arrived. When we visited the store staff were happy to help us with any questions and were helpful and polite. We purchased the beautiful chair and are thrilled with it and with the customer service that Holloway staff provided both by email and in person. We would recommend this store.

“An Australian customer”

★★★★★

written by groperbaby on 16/12/2017

I ordered a couple of Jielde lamps (made in France) from a lighting shop in Sydney a couple of kilometres from where I live. After waiting nearly five months the wrong lamps turned up (incorrect order, not Jielde's fault), after I had identified the lamp on the shop floor. Frustrated, I found Holloways on the net who sell the Jielde brand. Unfortunately, the colour I wanted wasn't available in London so had to be ordered from France, which meant a longer wait (especially as the factory was closed during August). I received the correct lamps three months later for AUD$400.00 less, which included shipping costs and cost of changing the plugs. As I had nearly given up on getting the lamps I was delighted. The service from Holloways was excellent.

“Returns service”

★★★★☆

written by on 14/08/2017

I ordered two external lamps. When they arrived (the next day - for which no extra charge was made), the bulb ceramic bulb holder of one of the lamps was broken. I spoke to a friendly and efficient person in Ludlow's Returns department and a replacement bulb holder reached me within one working day. Congratulations.

“Friendly, helpful service. Very happy with the product too”

★★★★★

written by LittlePeter on 29/06/2017

This was our first purchase from Holloways of Ludlow. We purchased a Birdy floor lamp. We love this lamp which is now installed in our lounge and we are delighted with it's looks and functionality. We were also impressed with the fantastic quality of the packaging and all the bits that come with it (gloves to ensure that there is no damage to the product when handling it, special plastic spanners to tighten/loosen the nuts which control the adjustability, a booklet explaining the product and its design origins etc). Finally the construction and material quality of this lamp seem or be of a very high order so it's everything we were hoping for. The shop staff were very helpful and eager to please. There was a slight hiccup with the delivery which came a day earlier than requested. As we were going out at lunchtime we called the shop and they made sure that the delivery driver would arrive before we left. This all worked and it was a pleasure to deal with the staff who made every effort to get things sorted out. Overall a very pleasant shopping experience.

“Dreadful service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/05/2016

It has taken more than a month for a simple lightbulb to arrive: I am still waiting for it. E-mails are answered with apologies and promises but the promises have not so far materialized. Their stock looks great online, lots of interesting things, but this is the second time I have had bad experience with their service once an order has been placed. Never again.

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear of the experience that you have had, please contact me in customer service and I would be happy to look into this for you.
We have a large selection of bulbs in stock and I am surprised to hear this has taken so long to arrive to you. I would appreciate your feedback so that I can investigate the situation and ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Kind Regards

“Good product, not to good customer service”

★★★☆☆

written by holly1805 on 20/02/2016

We ordered two of the Scandilux lights, and are really pleased with the product. However, it wasn't clear from the website whether the lights had their own switch (rather than being turned on from a separate wall switch) so I emailed them to find out and never got a response. I also think that the website isn't that easy to use either, split into contemporary and traditional, which isn't always useful. The delivery was quick and easy though.

Hi,

I have tried to contact you regarding your review as we have not received an email to our customer service I'm afraid. I can see that you received your order within 2 days of placing it, do you still have any questions regarding the product that you have purchased?
Please accept my apologies that you found the website difficult to use, I will pass these comments on.
Kind Regards
Jessica

“Speedy service, good price, fabulous light”

★★★★★

written by enTucker195 on 01/02/2016

This was my first time buying from Holloways of Ludlow and I have to say I am impressed. I'm in the process of renovating 3 bathrooms at the same time, so this necessitates a lot of shopping around, a lot of online purchases, and a lot of disappointments. But I have to say I wasn't at all disappointed with Holloways. I found a beautiful, unique, characterful light for our cloakroom, at a great (reduced) price, and it was delivered almost instantly, with loads of packaging. I've yet to see it in situ, but I can't imagine I'll be anything but delighted. Love the website, love the quality of products on offer, just wish I could afford more of them! Thank you for the one I did pick!

“Excellent Customer service and products”

★★★★★

written by cleone2 on 28/01/2016

Having ordered from Holloways of Ludlow on several occasions over the past year, I felt moved to write and praise their service and products. Their attention to detail and communication has been second to none and very considerate and personal in its nature. When a product didn't suit its intended use, they were also speedy in refunding my order without question. The most recent light I bought from them is unique and of great quality and has attracted a lot of positive comments and admiration - I couldn't be more pleased!

“Good product selection & nice price match ”

★★★★★

written by EtienneInKilt on 16/01/2016

Always wanted a specific spotlight, but could not find it in the finish I was looking for. Found exactly what I wanted from this website, and got a price match from the other website that didn't had the right finish (Got a quick answer by email). Item arrived quickly and very well packaged. I cannot fault the service and would gladly recommend. Thanks!

“Service beyond expectations”

★★★★★

written by Andyrawle on 15/01/2016

Firstly they have probably the best range of lights you could ever find. Yes they're expensive but sometimes you just have to pay for nice things. To be honest I was probably quite a difficult customer, I had loads of questions and needed some advice. All my emails were responded too really quickly and with some great advice. Nothing was too much trouble. My helper even made a special trip to the warehouse to check for stock and sent me a different set of pictures from different angles. Thoroughly recommend, the best lights and the best people.

“new light fixed very quickly”

★★★★★

written by Izzy28 on 04/01/2016

I took delivery of two Scandinavian lights, one of which didn't work. Within 24 hours of Holloways knowing this they'd despatched an engineer to my house, at a time to suit me, who fixed the (simple if you know what you're looking for) problem. The manufacturer, Northern Lighting, recommended Holloways as the supplier and I was pleased with the response and service.

“Beautiful lights, delivered fast. Perfect!”

★★★★★

written by on 05/11/2015

I don't ordinarily write reviews but.....I saw some Swedish-made lights I liked and Holloways stocked them. In all their colour ways. I ordered - they delivered - incredibly fast, and they are beautiful. Truly lovely quality and safely packaged. I couldn't be more pleased. I have browsed through their site and am impressed - they really have picked the cream of the crop for their stock list. A really super range, and a good scale of prices. I have more lighting to buy - I'm going to go and visit their showroom...

“Brilliant service”

★★★★★

written by Suzyhawthorn on 18/10/2015

I looked around everywhere for an urban light with a difference and finally found what I wanted at Holloways of Ludlow. They stock items that are different to other lighting sites although they are expensive. The lights arrived the very next day and look brilliant. The quality is good and looks like tradional workmanship. We are very pleased and would not hesitate to use them again.

“Avoid like the Plague!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 21/08/2015

Take my advice & do not deal with this company. They were obtuse & insulting in any dealings with them, claiming it was my electricians fault they didn't understand what I wanted. They were unhelpful & lax in sending the right orders. I even contacted the owner in an effort to resolve issues, he was as obtuse & disorganised as the rest of them. I have a file full of e-mails from them (under various different names), all concluding with - do not hesitate to contact them if they can help further (HA HA!). If I had read reviews of Holloway's I would not have considered dealing with them. Don't make the same mistake I did. I am out of pocket but have finally given up trying to pursue any recourse. I would say if your name is Piers or Jocasta & you live in a chi chi area of London then you will probably get some sort of customer care from them. If you have an ordinary name & live in the north of England then 'hard cheese'.
