“Bought some shoes £79, did not fit returned expected...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AndyBrown59 on 12/12/2022

Bought some shoes £79, did not fit returned expected 75.50p refund after postage deduction. Received £59.70 as they took off my refund a discount of 20%.Not sure why as I paid $£79 of my own money. My issue is I paid £79 of my money, returned goods expected £75.50 back taking an additional £15.850p of my money away and not refunding it to me. Paid £79 got back £59.70, so returning cost me £19.30 not the £3.50 that it should have done. That dodgy practise should be made very clear to everyone before ordering a product. On query no detailed explanation just took away my money Appalling business practise lost a longstanding customer will never use again. AVOID

“Alley cats?”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Heathuu492 on 28/07/2022

Having received a parcel of glasses which in fairness arrived swiftly, it was obvious it contained some broken glass. The initial response from their so-called Customer Service seemed positive and I was asked to submit a photo of the damaged item found inside the parcel, which I duly did. That was the last I ever had any response from them, despite sending several emails over several days. Clearly a department that seems to have little or maybe no real intention of offering any genuine service to its customers. Recent online customer reviews consistently reveal a vast majority of customers seeking help receive decidedly little …..over 220 giving 1 star review ratings in recent months. . My experience suggests to me I need to entirely avoid this company at all costs.

“Postage ridiculous!”

★★☆☆☆

written by jbham on 08/03/2022

You would think an online company would now realise especially when ordering shoes that paying for postage over a certain amount spent is bad customer service. No free returns to change size ... so every time it is £10 to reorder and then send back. COME ON.... get with it ... other good companies offer free postage when ordering over a certain limit AND free returns with shoes!!

“AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Saigek230 on 18/06/2021

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST. I returned a jacket because it was too big and after several emails almost 2 months wait I still see no refund and no one is answering emails. This review will be posted on multiple sites.

“Don't use Brandalley”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Flanaganpl243 on 22/12/2017

I ordered a Christmas present in November - Brandalley took my money instantly ... now after chasing 3 times they have said 'we will refund you in 3-5 days' .... Now I have no time to replace this Christmas gift in time. Are they even allowed to sit on my money for a month ? This service is unacceptable. I recommend you don't use Brandalley. I have marked value for money as 1 star also ... it's not bad value for money ... but if you don't get what you ordered and it causes lots of unnecessary stress then it's no good to deal with them at any price. ** VERY POOR **

“Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Rachd0822 on 10/11/2017

Anyone that intends to order with these DON’T. Placed a order for 2 items a few weeks ago, I was aware the order would be ‘split shipped’ and i didn’t mind that. 7 days ago had a email saying the first part of the order was on it’s way (2 x 2 pillows) happy days. Order arrived a the next working day, this is where the problems started. The parcel was OPEN and had clearly been sent like it and the packaging was far too small for the items, so I thought email customer services and that’ll be that. Had a reply from customer services (t..ya) saying sorry that it’ll be fed back to the warehouse, ok fair enough that’s the end of the matter. A while later I had another email from the same person insinuating that I was lying and they wanted photographic proof, which I had and sent with a request for compensation. later in the day another email from same time individual claiming that she could not open the photos could I re send in a different format? No please, no sorry for taking up your time ( I could view them fine on my phone, tablet and pc so found it all a bit too convenient), so photos re sent in a different format along with a request for the other part of the order to be cancelled. The following day I had a email from a different agent c..ol saying that it was too late to cancel order as it was preparing for despatch (outright fib the order status was still at being processed by supplier) and that she had credited my account with a £10 voucher, to which I emailed back declining as never will I shop again with brandalley. No reply so I took to Twitter and within 2 hours the second part of the order cancelled and a full refund for that item and the postage, but no £10 but not worried about that too much. Yes I appreciate mistakes happen but it’s how the issues are addressed and the standard of customer services that matters.

“False advertising and wrong size.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 750nig on 11/04/2017

Bought a duvet cover set, a make I had not heard of but a supposed retail price of £160. When it arrived the labels stated M&Co. We have an M&Co in town, the retail price is £55. The quality was £55 certainly not £160. Same order, ordered size 10 Jack Wolfskin trousers. Size 10/12 arrived obviously too big. Returned both items. Brandalley fault but I still had to pay to return items. NEVER AGAIN !

“Lies and more lies”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 98Smith on 28/03/2017

I have been shopping with Brand Alley for some time but I have to say standards have just dropped through the floor. Orders not turning up and refunds not processed followed by repeated lies both on the phone and by e mail. Still not resolved 6 weeks later. Be very careful using this company.

“Missing item fro parcel - not being resolved”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ymPritchard124 on 26/10/2016

Generally I am usually happy with Brand Alley, great products, good price, delivery service can be very hit & miss with long delivery dates. Recently I purchased 4 Ted Baker purses and received only 3, being charged for 4 & the delivery note stating 4. I immediately contacted Brand Alley by telephone & e-mail who advised they would come back to me. Almost a week later & several phone calls & e-mails later I am still awaiting a response. The purses are not cheap hence I cannot afford to be out of pocket for this missing item. I am not happy that I cannot get any answers out of Brand Alley which is very frustrating & disappointing. I am still awaiting a response from them, it appears they are not good at resolving problems!!!!

“Bad attitude and poor customer service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Anonymous4321 on 25/08/2016

Poor attitude and bad customer service - I won't bother ordering from Brandalley again!! I was told that I could not amend an existing order, so having placed another order from the same sale/brand (as advised), I was then told that they would not refund the second lot of postage costs. This is ridiculous as the orders are both for the same brand and will be dispatched by the same manufacturer at the same time!! I will be sharing the feedback online as an example of bad customer service! There are plenty of other online ordering companies who do get it right and treat their customers a lot better than Brandalley!

“Perfume recently purchased ”

★★★☆☆

written by Ruudee on 10/03/2016

Black orchid 100mls recently purchased does not last for even 2hrs. Wondering if it's a fake. Waste of money really. A total let down.

★☆☆☆☆

written by aandddoh on 02/03/2016

i spent a completely wasted half an hour shopping for some items for the family, I wanted a decent amount of shopping to make the £5.99 delivery fee worthwhile. As I was in the checkout/payment page I get the message " some of your items are no longer in stock" only to find half my basket has disappeared!!!! what a waste of time !!!!! never again. Do not use this website!

“Utterly appalling!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ariadne666 on 18/12/2015

On 4th September I ordered a Fogarty king size duvet and two pillows, at a cost of £55 and with an estimated delivery date of 5th October. Today, 18th December, one pillow arrived, although the dispatch note referred to it as a duvet! I phoned Customer Service to find out what was happening - what a laugh! The woman didn't have a clue, told me that although we had the duvet, we couldn't have the pillows as they were out of stock. I'm not a stupid person, but I couldn't understand her gobbledegook, which invariably ended with me being told to send an e-mail. I asked why she couldn't explain things to me, and got the same response. I don't think she was listening at all to what I was saying. I do wonder if they have so many complaints that they just want to get people off the phone as quickly as possible. I've now been told to send it back for a full refund, but won't hold my breath. What a complete shambles!If I could give fewer than one star I certainly would.

“Carvella Boots”

★★★★★

written by Nadiaj157 on 07/12/2015

I recieved my item 2 days after placing the order which considering it is nearly Christmas is very efficient - My item was packaged really well and the delivery driver was extremely helpful - The item I purchased is available on the high street for 3 x the amount I paid for them so I have made a fantastic saving meaning I can spend the difference on more items :) . I would definately recommend BrandAlley to friends and family and will be using this site again

“query whether the goods are counterfeit??”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Milo207 on 14/11/2015

I ordered a pair of knee high boots in one of Brandalley's "sales", that were listed as Carvela/Kurt Geiger. They arrived very poorly packaged and in an unbranded box with a piece of paper sellotaped to the top with the brand name on them. Apart from that - no branding!!! The quality of the boots was very very poor and I have sent them back immediately, without even bothering to try them on. From the quality and the packaging, I would not be surprised to find that these are fakes and not from the brand advertised at all. I would be VERY wary of buying anything from this company.

“Avoid!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Dalrymple333 on 30/10/2015

Please don't be tempted by the fabulous offers they have. Yes, they do advertise some great bargains, and sometimes they can even actually supply them, but often they simply can't. Also, don't ever order matching items, as chances are you'll only get one of them. I ordered 2 sets of underwear, i.e. 2 sets of a bra and 2 pairs of briefs. Firstly I received one full set, after about 5 weeks. I'd forgotten what I'd ordered, so didn't notice it was the wrong set until I'd worn them. As for the other set, I only received the bra. I waited another 3 weeks after it was delivered, then, after asking about the briefs, I was suddenly refunded. As I had no use for an odd bra, I returned it and was refunded minus p&p!? I have written to them twice now explaining that it wasn't my fault they couldn't fulfill the order and I had to return the bra. So far, they've ignored me. I've had several wrong items supplied, but after waiting so long, it's easy to forget what you've ordered, so always check back. The other annoying thing is they have our money for many weeks, whether or not they can actually supply the items we've ordered. They also are slow to refund it.

I have had similar problems with this organisation, orders taking months to arrive or not arriving at all. I had some stuff arrive after about 8 months which I had forgotten I had ordered. Just had a major disappointment with them when I ordered something for a 21st birthday present in September, I placed the order at the end of July hoping it would arrive on time, it didn't so had to arrange something else with next day delivery from a reliable source. I have also just discovered that the prices are not always as good as you might think as the watch I ordered from them which did not get here was actually cheaper elsewhere online. Will not be using Brandalley again.

“Avoid”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Dippy491 on 19/08/2015

Appalling - Have now requested refunds for orders placed the first week in July and now informed that delivery will not be until September. Pity as the products on offer are excellent but my e-mails went unanswered, my telephone calls to customer service were met with a negative response and I will not be ordering again.

“Customer service 0”

★☆☆☆☆

written by RiyaBeck66 on 28/07/2015

Three times I have returned goods and have had to wait weeks for a refund, the last refund took 10 weeks !!!!!!!! Each time you have to continually phone or e-mail. Customer service always claims that this was a one off error, that refund took so long. Do not deal with company, they have NO regard for their customers. In fact I would go as far as to say they treat them as a joke …. laughing all the way to the bank, because our refunds took so long, and they earned interest on our money for months at a time.!!!!!
