Genuinely the worst online shop and most unprofessional customer support team I've EVER had to deal with. I bought a curling iron in January 2021, it stopped working in April 2021, and I sent it back to them for inspection as per their request (after numerous of emails and having to request information on the return process multiple times). We're now in September and this case is still going on. It's been taking months and at least 30-40 follow ups over email and phone from my side to request either a new curling iron or refund (no one was getting back to me and mind you, I also ended up paying for the shipment of the defect curling iron from Dubai to the UK which I also needed a refund on). They finally processed a refund in August 2021 however, not with the full amount (part of the amount was missing for what I paid for the curling iron). I started chasing them again and I've provided bank statement proof for them to see that they've refunded the incorrect amount, but still without any luck. I keep getting strange replies whenever I follow up, replies that are not even relevant to the actual issue that I'm following up on, as if the customer care representatives are not even reading my emails. It's been extremely frustrating and I won't ever purchase anything on BeautyBay again or recommend it to anyone I know.

Avoid. They r selling expired products. I checked one of my skin care products, and the expiry date and it was 3months ago.

Ordered 2 Eye shadow Palettes at $40.- each, came damaged with eye shadow powder all over me as I opened package. Beauty Bay packed palettes in a flimsy box and wrapped Palettes in paper when it should have been concealed with styrofoam. Of course I want a full refund of my $81.50, so instead of them taking responsibility for how they packaged, and in order for me to get my full refund. I have to pay $63.- to mail back damaged products to there United Kingdom. They need to email a Prepaid Return Label, they are not responding with a prepaid label. Its been weeks. No Refund, Yet.

I haven't bought from them, but I was going to before I read the reviews. Now im going to spend more than twice as much for the same item elsewhere because I know it will actually arrive, and they use Hermes for delivery and Hermes has lost everything I have ever ordered in the past....

The product came well sealed and maintained but but but unfortunately the worst service ever🙄 When courier guy came to drop my products he asked me to pay. When I told him I cleared all the amount he told me this is Vat. What Vat??? I cleared everything through online payment, now whats this vat bruh. Atleast it should be mentioned while checkout. When I tried to communicate through email they told me (( BEAUTY BAY accepts no responsibility for these fees, they will need to be paid by yourself prior to the delivery of your order)) What if I had no money ??

I ordered for about 2 months ago. Never received my products! I sent several emails to customer (no) service. Always the same standard answer,although I gave all information about my order. I asked for a refund. And then, surprisely, the day after I received an email that hermes tried to deliver my haul but nobody was there. I was home all day. And normally a delivery company leaves a paper to say they went by. No paper either. No answer, no products and money gone! I am also in business and if I treated my clients like this, I was already in prison!!! CRIMINAL!!!

Beauty bay were unable to fill my complete order so I cancelled the entire order within 20 mins of purchasing. That same evening my order was despatched, I emailed customer services to enquire why it’s been despatched - THEY BLOCKED ME. Honestly never had this type of poor treatment from a company. Absolutely criminal

Parcel was chucked outside front door on an open plan garden. Absolutely shocking customer service. As soon as the words i want to return the item it became a ping email for reasons why they dont want it back. The min u open a box to look thats it you have no rights. Well im going to trading standards and will be using the consumer act as i have a right to return i told them the day it was delivered. Avoid this company at all costs there are a lot better more professional ones

I have never received my order, customer service is dreadful they send you from one person to another only through email. So far I have been contacted by five different people obviously evading the issue! I was told my order had been sent to a Co op store, it never arrived. I was then informed that it had gone to a completely different shop that I didn’t request. It had not arrived there either! I have asked for a refund this hasn’t been issued and my request has been totally ignored. I have asked to be referred to a manager as I am beginning to think that this company is not legitimate.

Customer service is awful. My package never arrived and they don’t reply to emails. Do yourself a favour and never order from here.

Run away. Horrific customer care or lack there of. Made an order for an item that never arrived and I still have not received a response on a refund. It’s been 6 days. Of back and forth and they have continuously dismissed my request for a refund. I’ll never be purchasing from hear again. Don’t waste your time, go to another platform cult beauty or anything is better.

If i could give 0 stars I would. Brutal costumer services with no contact number have to wait days for people to get back to you. Over a month ago my boyfriend sent me an e voucher, when I went to use it, it didn’t work. I wrote to beauty and stated they couldn’t issue me a new code but that I would have to spend my own £30 and when the item had been dispatched let them now and they will refund the value of the original gift voucher £30. I waited 4 weeks for my parcel to arrive and nothing contacted the courier and they have not received anything from beauty bay. So I then wrote to beauty bay and they say they will refund me, now coming back and saying the refund from the 31.03.21 when I spent my own money is the refund, But I am still out £30 for a voucher that was never working and now items ??? Absolute disgrace of a company with costumer with no brain capacity to see they are robbing people. Taking it public now

I’ve ordered numerous serums and oils, especially ordinary products. But none of them have an expiry date. And their product code is printed on the bottom Of the bottle Instead Of the usual place. I was just wondering if there are legit products or not.
