If you have problems with your order then you are basically screwed. I had an order delivered where an expensive exfoliator has spilt all over the parcel, leaving maybe 30% left in the bottle. Three other items were also missing. I emailed several times over a week, spoke to 3 different people, every single one asked me to send photos and then never responded. Eventually they offered me a 40% refund on the exfoliator which obviously isn't acceptable, and asked me to send photos of the box delivered, even though it was 10 days later. At every turn they have been incredibly unhelpful and so frustrating it's made me want to throw my laptop across the room. I would stick with LookFantastic or FeelUnique, who are brilliant at customer service and offer similar deals and discounts. Will never order from BeautyBay again, it's taken years off my life.

Beauty Bay have given me some of the worst customer service I have experienced in a while. Firstly I did an order of 2 x face serums, I then received an email a few days later saying that my parcel hasn’t been delivered because it’s damaged. There was no explanation of what next steps I could take, if I would be getting a refund/ I should reorder etc. I contacted their customer service team via email twice and received no reply. 10 days later, half of the parcel arrived so I only received 1 serum. I then managed to finally complain to beauty bay via twitter(??) and was met with hostility, I sent a picture of my half parcel that had arrived and explained I was upset because I ordered the parcel for a mother’s day present and the experience had been appalling. Instead of sending a new version of the missing serum out, they just refunded me (but only for the price of the serum and not postage), so I had to reorder the serum and essentially pay postage twice! This whole process has lacked communication from Beauty Bay and Hermes, and I barely feel my complaints were read let alone understood. Will never be ordering from Beauty Bay again.

Bought a scarf, opened the package and saw that it was much too short. Immediately re-packaged everything and asked for a refund. Was advised that because I had opened the plastic packaging covering the scarf (!) I was not allowed a refund. Online purchases are covered by the consumer contracts regulations. It is funny how during the covid pandemic this company tries their best to lie to their customers. You cannot by law decide to not refund someone for a piece of clothing unless you believe it was handled more than it would have been if it was bought in a shop. To make matters worse, you have to constantly chase this company's customer service team to get anywhere. Don't waste your money, plenty of better companies out there!!

Ordered from them on 25th Feb. On 1st March tracking updated to ‘mis sort by carrier’ and hasn’t updated since. Finally got an update today on 8th March to say the parcel was being returned to Beauty Bay with no explanation why. Terrible company

I cancelled my order in just 6 minutes and they ended up telling me that it had already been dispatched. Like .. excuse me? Plus I think their browser had an issue cause I accidentally order different products than the ones that I had placed in my cart, that's why I cancelled the order in the first place. When I told them in the last email that it's impossible that it had already been dispatched and it was their fault since I immediately had cancelled, they never replied.

I have placed my order on Feb 10th and never got my items. Tracking info is not updated since Feb 18th. I have emailed 5 times to customer service and no response regarding my order. Such a bad service. My $105 is wasted. Don't buy from their site.

Made an order. Said it was to be delivered in 2-3 days. I was not given a tracking number. Then when I went to message them 2 weeks later, they said it would be late.. 10 more days.. which is fine.. i understand during these difficult times there will be delays. I messaged again last week and was told that my order was re sent back to the company and that there was nothing they could do about it. Said I got a refund.. but I dont have the refund yet. I think this company is a scam and fake. Do not buy from them.

I've ordered a handful of times from them, and their "next day" delivery always takes up to a week as they use Hermes. In this most recent order its been a week and all they can say is that they're waiting to hear back from Hermes. Customer service is generally helpful; however I've rated one star as their Twitter team are so rude! After sending two DMs I got a reply from somebody called Hannah, saying "Please be aware that this is not an instant messaging service." In my opinion there's no need to be rude or snarky, particularly when dealing with a frustrated customer who hasn't received the items or service they paid for! As a result of Hannah's poor attitude it's sadly unlikely I'll bother shopping with Beauty Bay again. :(

Placed an order and can’t even get something as basic as an order confirmation! Seeing all those bad reviews about their shipping performance on the internet I’m starting to regret purchasing from them. I’m in touch with your CS already getting nowhere. Now, I’ve asked for my order to be cancelled - again, silence at the other end.

Dear beauty bay, I really Am so upset with you! I really don’t want to email you guys because it takes forever to hear back from you and I need this ASAP! my name is Poppy Stevens and I have a beauty bay account and I am so so stressed out about this. I have got a beauty bay gift voucher for Christmas and activated it 2 days ago. It told me to wait 2 days for it to be used, so I did. Now I have got everything in my basket ready to pay and you guys make it so freaking complicated to use this stupid gift voucher! So It finally discounted my voucher and I still had some money to pay. So I payed and it went through into my bank. Then 10 minutes later didn’t go through my bank and so I tried to pay again on the website and now it says that I have used my gift voucher when I haven’t!! Can I please have some professional help I am so fed up with beauty bay I’m NEVER using it again!! Please please help me out! Thank you Poppy
