“Like many other customers, I had the worst Customer Service experience possible, and I shop a lot online. For an online retailer that positions itself as luxury, this is very bad. I even asked myself if, maybe, I was being a Karen. But no, just absolute disrespect and borderline theift. Not only did I had to wait for ages for my order to be sent, but they sent a wrong product. Then they asked me to return it so they could give me a refund, AND THAT I PAY FOR THE RETURN ! And of course the only way to contact them is though the most inconvenient message box since there is no chat, email nor telephone. Also every single message was written by a different person who clearly didn't bother reading the previous ones. Talking to the customer service team felt like talking to a wall, just frustrating back and forth exchanges that led to nowhere. It's like they just want to discourage you until you lose patience and just give up. Do yourself a favour, save your money, time and energy, and shop somewhere else where they don't take you for an idiot.”

“I’m beyond, beyond shocked at the Customer Service and overall experience I’ve had. I placed an order with next day delivery as I was going out of the country and needed to stock up on a few things, it was meant to be delivered on a Friday, Friday comes and goes, the parcel does not get delivered. I message Customer Service who initially was helpful and apologetic, telling me to reach out again if the parcel doesn’t get delivered by 9 PM and they’ll give me a refund. When I’ve had to message again, I was told to wait for 48 hours for delivery. I would’ve been out of the country in 48 hours, so I’ve had to go and spend mire money to replace the items in this. I had to sacrifice the time I was going to spend with my family to run around like a headless chicken because people couldn’t do their jobs. It’s been a week now since I’ve been trying to get my money back from them, Natalia from the customer relations team needs to be fired instantly, the girl can’t do her job to save her life. She messaged days ago saying I will be receiving a refund, no word about that since, so I followed up again and she’s suddenly asking me to confirm my email (The same one she used to email me at first, so confused why she’s asking to confirm it) to send me a label. What label and for what, only she knows.”

“Cult beauty has the worst costumer service ever. They do not have a live chat nor phone. You have to leave a message on their website and someone will get to you a day after ignoring everything you say and give you a vague answer. When you request a return your message simply gets ignored. Cult beauty you are not sleek, you are disgusting! I will keep spreading how horrible you are. Please avoid at ALL costs if you do not want to waste your time and money.”

“I regret to say that my experience with Cult Beauty has been nothing short of a nightmare. This company’s approach to customer service is negligent, dismissive, and, frankly, deceptive. I encountered a serious issue involving unauthorized charges and an unwanted voucher, and Cult Beauty has not only failed to resolve it but has actively avoided accountability. To recount: I initially attempted to purchase a voucher using my Swedbank card, but the transaction failed, as confirmed by an email stating that payment could not be processed. I then successfully completed the transaction using my Revolut card. To my disbelief, €50 was subsequently deducted from my Swedbank card without my consent, and a second voucher—entirely unnecessary and unwanted—was issued to me. This charge was made without any prior communication or authorization, which is both unethical and unacceptable. Since raising this issue, Cult Beauty has done nothing to address my concerns. Instead, their customer support has ignored my clear and repeated explanations, refused to acknowledge their error, and blatantly lied by claiming that the second voucher has already been used—an outright falsehood. This is not just poor service; it feels like an attempt to gaslight the customer into dropping the matter. Their failure to provide any meaningful answers or to rectify this situation is an insult to anyone who values transparency and integrity. Cult Beauty’s handling of this issue has caused unnecessary stress and wasted hours of my time. It’s appalling that a company of this size would treat its customers with such disregard. I strongly urge anyone considering shopping with Cult Beauty to think twice. If anything goes wrong, expect to be met with evasiveness, dishonesty, and zero accountability. This is not a company that values its customers or respects basic ethical standards.”

“This company is an absolute disgrace! I placed an order, they sent me an incorrect order with nothing I ordered in it! Instead of shipping the correct products they took a week to get back to me! Closed my account refunded the money and refused to ship to my address!!!!!!! This level of customer service is appalling, I ordered gifts for Christmas over Black Friday and they will not honour my order!”

“Processing my order after 4 days. Pretty sure they lost it in the warehouse. Even after contacting them every day on every platform they just refuse to pack it. Happy to go pick it up myself if it’s such a huge effort. Now they can explain my friend why she doesn’t have a birthday gift.”

“Cult Beauty did not deliver my order and refused to give me a refund. This is illegal and unacceptable and I will be taking it to the financial ombudsman - I advise everyone not to order from them, their customer service is awful - chat keeps crashing and customer service are so rude and unhelpful and clearly know nothing about consumer law - just want to brush you off - especially supposed "manager" Lydia she was really unprofessional and did not understand how to do her job at all.”

“I order few items for my holiday last week and my entire order came damaged and broken, setting spray bottle came broken and glass particles were everywhere, I had no other options but ti dispose everything. Mind you all the makeup was worth over £150. I reached out to them with pictures of the damaged broken items regarding my order and they keep saying that they can’t refund my money back and it’s been over a week now and they’re not willing to refund me back my money. They keep saying they’re investigating and then they refuse to refund me my money. This website need to shut down immediately as their customer service is horrible and they’re not willing help or provide any resolution for their customers! Absolutely horrible!!!!!!”

“Never got my products and they are giving me the run around to try and get a replacement - going by other reviews, I will likely never get it. 100s of pounds lost to thieves. Keep away and shop somewhere else.”

“I made a recent order for a facial oil and this wasn’t added when my order arrived… I reached out to their customer service support… the first person who responded to my claim was clearly clueless who didn’t look up my details to see that my claim was correct… I then proceeded to send yet another message with more information showing them that I did order this but the oil wasn’t added. I asked that this should be sent via next day delivery as it was clearly their fault and three whole days later, I am yet to receive any email confirmation showing this is on the way. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ZERO”

“Having used cult beauty for years and never had the need to complain I assumed their customer service would be good. I couldn't have been more wrong I can't actually think of any company that is worse. My package full of products for my holiday arrived yesterday with something inside clearly leaking. I immediately took photos of the sealed package and when I opened it, one of the product's lids was off. Again I photographed. My message to customer service was submitted minutes after the delivery. I have now had 4 messages, each one has asked me for photos I have already submitted and asked me what the problem is. They've asked if I've ever purchased the product from them before presumably to ascertain if I'm lying and have photographed an empty one even though they have my entire purchase history and the sealed package is saturated in oil. They then requested the batch code and expiry I sent it and a photo to be told that it wasn't the batch code... It is. I've worked in the beauty industry for 25 years. The worst thing is this product is for a holiday I go on on Wednesday. No sign of a replacement. It has frustrated me so much I will go from being one of their most frequent customers to somebody who shops at their competitors. Avoid at all costs”

“The worst most infuriating customer service experiences of my life. Continously though as it’s not happened just once!!!! 30 messages to deal with one issue, every customer service agent is different so you have to repeat the entire story everytime then get asked for the same information over and over again because they are too lazy to go through the thread themselves!!!! I’m a level three customer too. Also, what company gives you a £25 gift card for your birthday but you’ve got to spend over £100 to use it. Doesn’t make sense!!!”
