Horrible experience with shipping and customer service Shopping on Beauty Bay has taught me one thing. Everything is fine until a problem arises. As soon as that happens they either ignore your emails or are completely unwilling to actually solve the issue. I do not even know why I bothered buying from them again since I had a bad experience in the past too. I only know that this will certainly be the last time after what happened. My parcel was dispatched on November 16 and today, a month later, I have not received it yet. I paid 5 euros for delivery and it was supposed to arrive in 7-10 working days, something that of course never happened. Instead, my parcel shows no tracking update since November 24. I contacted customer service and they keep telling me that they will contact the courier and get back to me. However, it has been more than a week since then and I wonder how long it takes them to track a parcel. It feels like they are just ignoring me and trying to avoid giving me a refund. They do not seem to realise that, whether the delay is their fault or the courier's fault, I placed my order on their shop so it is their responsibility to find a solution promptly. At this point, I am so disappointed and angry with the shipping as well as the customer service that I just want my money back now.

I ordered my items last week .still haven't received an email confirming dispatch. Money was taken and I'm sickened I didn't read up on the reviews before hand. Very disappointed.

The slander and bullish customer service this company put on our daughter has caused her to start self harming again after 10 years. She had nothing but problem after problem to which they did not want to resolve. After taking the complaint to Trading Standards, the whole incident which spanned over a month came crashing down. We have to now pick up the pieces of the shattered mental health of our daughter. Although we knew what the company was doing to her, we didn’t realise how bad it was until reading all the messages she’d sent, the 357 screenshots stored on her phone as evidence, to all she received was bullying online in an open forum, via private message online and email. If you wish to protect yourself or your family, then a disagreement with this company isn’t worth the pain and trauma. 10 years of mental health growth and recovery have been flushed down the drain by a 2 month period with BeautyBay employees. We and the family now have to start all over again. Thank you BeautyBay for resetting the hard work not only by our daughter, but her family, doctors, consultants, physchologists, therapists and her long standing partner.

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.

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.

I would say this is my worst shopping experience. It is all easy and quick to shop but then its almost 3 weeks now and i got a email to review the products. How would i do that? there is no way i can cancel my order. My friends also had the same problem and will never use this website to reorder.

My order was supposed to arrive within 4-8 days. Don't beieve them. It's been over two weeks. I emailed customer service 5 times before they responded, informing me I was right that my order was late and they would "investigate". Well, they never responded again! I've sent three more emails with NO RESPONSE. And there is no number to call, so there is no way to communicate with this bogus company. Company based in UK, where The Original products are made, yet order coming from Sweden for some reason. Products are probably just as bogus as this company. Worst experience ever, will NEVER order from BeautyBay again, and you shouldn't either. Choose a more reputable company.

My order went missing and beautybay completely ignored me. Took me over a month to get my refund, only because PayPal sorted it out!

BEAUTYBAY:122297 Your service is appalling and the worst online purchase that I have ever made. Why do you bother having Twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp when you don't respond to messages. Customer services took 3 days to respond to all the messages that I left and now don't take ownership on their errors. I did, in error, send the order before checking my delivery address, but Beauty Bay did not respond to any messages sent. Hermes was no better, however they at least give the opportunity to leave feedback, which i did, and wasn't good. All I can say is that I will leave bad feedback on your site so people are aware that even though you appear to be in the digital world, its more like 'snail mail' as opposed to email.

Long story short every order I have from them is either wrong or damaged. I email them, DM them on twitter and get ignored. I sent the orders back with trackable shipping (which paypal told me to do) they still ignored me so paypal refunded me. I have had an email today from Hannah from Beauty Bay's "Customer Service" team who has said sent me a vile, threatening email claiming that they never received goods back. Good job I sent the goods back via recorded delivery. Will never use again!

Would leave no stars if I could. Ordered Saturday for next day delivery (mother's day) and it's still hasn't arrived it's now Wednesday. Company claims they're looking into it. I've explained I don't want the product now it was meant to be a mother's day gift. Apparently nothing they can do at this point. Stay well clear of this scam company

I have never received my order! The worst thing is that nobody replies to my emails. And the stupid auto-Bot, that they have at the communication form, cant help.

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. :(

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered something jan 13th it is now jan 23rd no tracking information. Customer service only answers Twitter DMS but takes forever to reply. I've gotten absolutely no where from with them. very disappointed.
