“Earful company”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Christinej441 on 05/12/2022

Poor company. Ordered, made a mistake cancelled within MINUTES. A day goes by and They refused to cancel over email, followed by a ‘coincidental’ dispatched notification so all costs would sit with me (and they made that very clear). Done deliberately and the timeline backs this up. Even told me if I refuse delivery then costs would sit with me…. You couldn't make it up! Poor show of a company - avoid as they pile on the costs to cancel anything.

“Terrible customer support”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/01/2022

I’ve had good dealings with Speedyhen in the past - but, then again, there haven’t been any niggles requiring customer support. Made an order for a Christmas present, via Amazon, back on 13th December - the money went out of my account a week later, but no delivery made. I’ve been trying to resolve this since 29th December, including several phone calls to Amazon, but no joy. The order is apparently showing on their system as ’pending’, and they say they can’t do anything, and that I need to contact Amazon, which I’ve done. No doubt, if they see this message, they’ll reply to say (yet again) it’s Amazon’s fault, and there’s nothing they can do to resolve - but Amazon say otherwise. I’m happy to believe this is a computer glitch - and Amazon have tried contacting Speedyhen themselves - but this company ignore them and me, and just bounce it back to me, rather than making even the slightest effort to resolve directly.

“Speedy delivery and excellant customer service”

★★★★★

written by sqHayden174 on 13/02/2017

I am a regular customer of Speedyhen's and I always get my orders extremely fast and if I never need to speak to someone the customer service department are so helpful. I always recommend Speedyhen to people who are looking for an alternative to Amazon as there prices are so competitive. I will always use Speedyhen and I would recommend Speedyhen to anyone who wants a good reliable service from a company who goes the extra mile for it customers.

“item on in stock”

★★☆☆☆

written by Orlandop1990 on 29/01/2017

if you ever see your chosen item is not in stock, don't buy from speedy hen. You are not kept informed of when the item will be available and eventually will get an email stating that your order is cancelled and you are refunded. Ok a full refund is great but when you want the item and you've waited a month and then told that speedyhen renegade on their commitment to your order is just not good enough.

“Delivering a hardback book over a 6ft gate...”

“Reliable”

★★★★★

written by Kellen257 on 30/03/2016

Have had a few transactions with Speedy Hen and so far have been impressed. Dare I say it in todays society, they do inspire confidence. Given the opportunity would buy from speedy Hen, even if price was more expensive. I suppose confidence in your supplier is very important!

“Don't buy Filofaxes from them...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SonnyHatch64 on 20/01/2016

...unless you want to receive one in used condition with last years diary in it! Abysmal customer service, take 48h to reply and then are not in the slightest bit helpful. If you do decide to buy anything from them, use PayPal as you've got more chance of getting decent service via PayPal when they send you a damaged/old/used item.

My Filofax leather organizer started to fall apart after 3 weeks and Speedy Hen will not repair or replace it. Nasty, aggressive customer service as well.

“Perhaps others have had different experiences but I've...”

★★★★★

written by 422Sears on 17/12/2015

Perhaps others have had different experiences but I've ordered a CD collection and a book in two separate transactions, both arriving in pristine condition, both within 3 working days ( even at this time of year ) so have no complaints. Will use again without hesitation.

“Awesome product, rapid delivery”

★★★★★

written by Cochran361 on 25/11/2015

I don't often write reviews of online companies, and if I do it tends to be to highlight the negatives. I ordered a book called Anartica after seeing the price was considerably cheaper than my usual supplier. I ordered it late on a Friday night and it arrived early on the Monday morning. Packaging, quality of product and communications were all 5 star. I will be using these guys again.

“Utterly Abysmal. AVOID.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AJR1984 on 14/10/2015

Nobody bother with SpeedyHen. They're absolutely appalling. I placed two orders earlier this year; one item being in stock and one item being a pre-order, and they couldn't deliver either of them, but were happy to take my funds immediately. The first item, despite showing as "Instock", became unobtainable straight after I paid and they had no date for a restock, so I cancelled it. The second item was a pre-order, which I paid upfront for, and despite it being released only yesterday, they are already out of stock and, again, have no idea if/when it will be restocked. I've cancelled that too. They are happy to take orders indefinitely for items, taking the money instantly, despite never getting enough stock to cover the amount ordered. They also don't bother to notify you if something becomes out of stock, or if your order can't be honored, and if you have paid orders in place, be sure to check your account regularly, as they'll just keep your cash until you ask them to do otherwise. They have a duty to tell customers if an item they have ordered, and paid for, becomes unobtainable through them, but they only appear to do this if you contact them first and ask questions. (You can also expect pointless, inaccurate, copied and pasted responses from their team. Particularly the person I dealt with .) Their staff come across as unbearably rude. I literally got a forwarded reply from them which I had been previously sent over two months ago, despite it not pertaining to the same order inquiry. Pathetic.

I had the same experience with regard to copy and pasted CS replies.

It had three different phrases in one email, none of which pertained to my query!

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SkylerCarney359 on 23/09/2015

i purchased three books from speedy hen a while ago. the books arrived later than scheduled and all three arrived damaged. the packaging was appalling and did not secure the books. i informed them and sent pictures of the damaged books as requested. they offered me a 20% discount if i kept the damaged books but i refused. i wanted to return the damaged books and replaced with new ones. they ignored my requests for about two weeks . after finally informing them i would sue their company, they replied and lied they had not received any of my emails. they organised a free collection of the books. afterwards they told me that the books were no longer in stock. but they had those three books for sale on Amazon.. i asked for a refund and this took another two weeks for me to get. this whole saga took five agonising weeks! this company never apologised to me about the extended delivery time i endured, never apologised about the damaged books and never wanted to refund or replace my books. it was a horrible experience and speedy hen were rude and condescending to me when communicating. they don't care about their customers, standards and reputation. i would never recommend this company to anybody. Please, please avoid at all costs. i buy from book depository and wordery in the UK. any of these two are excellent. i had a damaged book from book depository. after sending pictures, they told me to keep the damaged book and sent a new replacement undamaged. no hassle. this saga took only a week.

“Awful customer service ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TrinityMurray332 on 12/07/2015

Terrible customer service. Failed to update address as requested, even though I received an email confirming the address had been amended, now blaming me for this change and quite blatantly lying about not receiving emails which they definitely did receive as they replied to them. Refusing refund even though I do not have the product I paid for which is entirely their fault. Awful. Do not use these sellers. No respect for their customers.

“What is everyone else on about?”

★★★★★

written by LeeC123 on 12/06/2015

I have ordered from SpeedyHen several times and I have yet to be dissapointed in any way. Like another reviewer here, I also collect hardback graphic novels and want them in mint condition. SpeedyHen has always packaged the books well and the speed of delivery is second to none. In fact, I actually stopped ordering from another (perhaps more well known) online book retailer due to their poor packaging, which then led me to find SpeedyHen who were not only better but also cheaper! In addition, I have contact customer services a couple of times with queries about books. These have always been answered quickly and to my satisfaction. So, overall I really am confused about all these negative reviews. I would (and have) happily recommend them to anyone.

“Appalling packing. Books always arrive damaged.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 435Hanley on 04/06/2015

I collect hardback graphic novels which are often heavy & expensive. SpeedyHen's packaging is really poor & the books are not protected. They always arrive damaged. I have emailed the MD/owner & doesn't care. Won't be buying from them again.

“Abysmal service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 30/05/2015

The book I ordered arrived damaged due to inadequate packaging and also with some damage clearly having been incurred prior to packing. I was offered a 15% discount if I kept it but requested a replacement in good condition. This arrived with damage due to the same, inadequate, packaging. At each stage I was asked to provide photos of the damage so SpeedyHen could "send them to the publisher for their quality checks". I twice requested a Freepost address or pre-paid label for the return of the books and was ignored. They instead asked me to repack and label the two damaged books and wait in for a day for their courier to collect them. 25 days after ordering the book and being charged for it, they finally got around to initiating a refund.
