Ordered a valentines card and a gift on February 9th, I received the gift on 15th February.........better late than never! The card still hasn’t arrived, they obviously blame everyone else and to this date 17th February are refusing to reimburse me. If you have an important date you need a gift or card by......... go to a company who will fulfil there promises.

JENNY ANDREW 5 reviews 1 star: Bad Updated a day ago Do not order from this company. This would be zero stars if the option had allowed. I ordered a large,framed heart-shaped arrangement of photographs for Valentines Day. When it arrived, several photos had no heads on or half a head. I had received no link which enabled me to edit before production, even though they said they had. Why would I have agreed to this, had I been sent the template first? Getting Personal said everything is automated and no-one checks what they produce - so no quality control. I wasted a few days trying to message them for a refund. As I couldn’t contact Getting Personal by phone, I asked for a manager to ring me and gave them my number. No phone call but messaged vis their own link yet again,and was told repeatedly it was not their fault. Different people from Customer Service replied and didn’t read the history properly of my messages. The photos I sent in had heads on, but when I asked for a copy of the original order, they didn’t have it. I was sent a pdf of the final result and told this is what I ordered. What a waste of time. I had this same result in the frame that I was complaining about. No full refund was accepted as requested,but finally, I was offered a 50% discount and free postage if I paid to reorder. Absolutely disgraceful. Consumer Rights clearly states that anything purchased must be fit for purpose. They were not interested. Don’t risk putting yourself through this stress and upset. Order from a reputable company who will check that you will receive a quality result. I will take this further with PayPal and with Consumer Rights, but meanwhile I have no gift for my partner for Valentines Day

Item is not fit for purpose and unable to give as gift. I did put 2 digits for the year but a quick check from you and this would have been sorted but all that was said is the information is pulled from a programme, your fault, can't do anything about!!. The year could not have been anything else when you knew it was for a 60th.

Received item in good time so can’t fault that. I ordered the heart shaped collage of photos in the biggest size. The frame quality is horrendous, it states solid oak but it’s bolsa with one pass of oak stain on, it’s also plastic fronted instead of glass. Worst part though is the quality of the pictures, they could of been printed in the 80s just looking at them! Also, even though I ordered the largest size frame, they still print the pictures really small so you can barely see them unless u have a microscope. One of the worst quality products I have been duped into buying for a very long time. Avoid

The worst customer service I have encountered. Refused to give me a refund after they sent out a duplicate order. Told me I wouldn't be charged but was twice! When questioning about my refund on the Live Chat 'Jess' stopped my account so I could no longer access it and cut the chat conversation. Not one helpful person in this company can tell me if they are refunding me therefore they are being taken to the ombudsman and CMA for fraud, negligence and unprofessional service!

Terrible customer service. Tried cancelling an order straight away as stated in terms of conditions that you are allowed to cancel an order within 30 minutes. Page brings you to a form that you fill, which sends an email. They answered several hours later saying they were unable to cancel order as the order had already been processed. Unable to cancel the order and they went along

I ordered an item on 16th January. It has still not arrived despite 5 emails. They either want me to confirm my address and order number. How many times do I have to do this. Their last response I felt was really derogatory. They suggested that maybe I was getting mixed up with a previous order. Following my review on another website they have again requested my order number. The item was a gift to myself to cheer me up in these difficult times. All it has done is cause me more stress. I know it probably not the right thing to do but i have told them to forget it and I will put it down to experience. I can't take any more the stress this is giving me. It's not worth it!!

I ordered an item on the 13th to be delivered on the 22nd. There were no email stating details of where my item was after ‘Getting Personal’ had dispatched it. I simply just wanted to know where it was and what time this item would be delivered. I got No help after i spoke to a woman called Laura, in arranging or chasing for my item to be delivered sooner. Excuses and lack of responsibility was given because they had handed my purchase over to another company. (Behaviour of wiping their hands off it). With the knowledge of me having not received my item from the delivery company, they neither chased and got explanation as to why. I was not given any information or tracking details for me to get in contact with the delivery company to find out a delivery time. I was just told it’s the deliveries company’s policy and I have to wait until 10pm for an item I ordered 9 days ago. I was also told I had to wait 10 working days for ‘Getting Personal’ to do something about my item and for an refund to be approved. Otherwise I would have to send the item back to get a refund. I was made to feel it was my issue that although I ordered three items from ‘Getting Personal’, ‘Getting personal’ was ordering the items from two different suppliers. So they are a suck it up and deal with it company, instead of a company that cares that a customer hasn’t received their item. They are happy to have their customer frustrated and disappointed. Their lack of care and acknowledgment of customer service is despicable. I live chatted to a person I believe to be a manager but he never stated. Unprofessionalism is common in this company.

I am so angry with this company. I placed an order mid November for a Christmas present. I got an email end of November saying it had been dispatched and should be with me in 2-3 days. It never appeared. I emailed them and was told wait 10 working days. I waited and emailed them again, there was a problem at the manufacturers and it hadn't been sent and it would be sent start of this week (w/c 14/12/20). I didn't get a dispatched email so emailed them again. Get told it would be sent the end of the week. So I sent a ranting email as getting a bit close to Christmas and frankly the story keeps changing so what is the truth! Get an email back saying item is out of stock and it will be back in two weeks, but understand I'm frustrated so here's 10% of next order! NEXT ORDER! Seriously!!!! I haven't been told the truth yet and clearly I'm never going to see this item, certainly not before Christmas and now I'm probably going to have to chase them for the refund. Yes I ranted more at them but their emails are so infuriating. So if anyone is daft enough to use this company - here's the 10% code, but don't be surprised if your item never arrives! CSTEN2018 Absolutely the worse service I've ever had. If the item was out of stock why was I allowed to order it - and why not just say that in the beginning so I had time to go elsewhere and actually get the christmas present I needed to get?! Now I'm paying twice for this present (as presuming the refund will take forever as clearly this company doesn't believe in customer service) in a year where money is tight. Nice one Getting Personal, and stop sending me your junk emails as hell will freeze over before I use you again after this!

Lovely card for mum but the writing inside was nearly off the page, perhaps it was an internet error as all has been well before

I ordered a card on 5 November for a very special birthday on 12 November. Despatch is supposed to be next working day first class however it had still not arrived on 10 November so I contacted Getting Personal who said they would ensure it was send immediately by courier but instead I received an email on 11 to say they had only just despatched it and now it's the 12 November and the card hasn't arrived. I have complained but received a totally unapologetic reply so needless to say I will not be using them again even though I was going to order several calendars one thing I will not do is give money to companies who have such poor customer service.

Disgraceful customer service !! Just not interested in helping solve the complaint, all you receive is the same automated message basically telling you there is nothing they can do !!! I had been a loyal customer for many many years and spent a lot of money, and they were happy to loose my custom all for he sake of £10 .. after 10 unsuccessful E.Mails I asked the question ! is it not reasonable to accept that on the odd occasion it could be an error on your system and not the fault of the customer ???? Guess what ! Sorry on this occasion we can't help you !! If a customer service Manager had contacted me like I had requested it would have been appreciated!! but no just another can't help message !!! Maybe now a Manager would like to read the messages !! It wasn't even about the £10 in the end it was the principle of continuous, it's not our fault !! REALLY .........

I ordered a photo collage for my daughters birthday when it arrived the photos weren’t in the order I had placed them and 5if the photos were duplicated. I contacted the company twice only to receive 2 pre-set responses. Totally unhelpful I have had to reorder from another company costing me a further £33 and the photo frame will now not arrive until after my daughter’s birthday. Very annoyed.

I ordered what I believed was a 2021 diary as this is what it was labelled. I was sent a diary for 2020. I emailed and explained just to be told they don't have 2021 diaries in stock yet. The website is misleading. Bad site and even worse customer service!!!

Getting personal have not given me a refund for a faulty item, over 14 days have passed. I have escalated this issue to PayPal. Getting personal have told me they will not refund me unless I resolve the case... with no guarantee of refund. Following PayPal advice, I have not accepted this and communicated this to the company. I have been told that the customer service team does not help or knows anyone who will help. I wish I had never bought from such company. Initially polite, even when I had forgot about my discount code and queried a full price refund. Now unhelpful. Still no hope of a refund but so thankful I have PayPal protection (which I do not if I click resolve). Be very cautious!!!

Worst company I've ever dealt with. Order an anniversary card. Never received the card. Now the company won't refund me or dispatch another card. The staff just keep fobbing me off. Nobody wants to do anything about my situation. I have contacted them on several occasions and no one is willing to help. Please DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. Save your money and shop anywhere but here.

Ordered a photo print & frame for my daughter who is working in the NHS during Covid-19, to fund her Medical Degree. Item sent to wrong addressed and was returned to GP. 17- days later and still waiting for item to be posted to correct address. GP hides behind the Covid-19 crisis for not answering any of their telephone numbers. They suggest using LIVE-chat... which isn't working on their website. Emails never get answered in a reasonable time. The customer service from this company is atrocious and blatantly bad.

The worst place to buy from! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!! I purchased a baby’s first passport and gift tag for my cousins baby as a gift the name I wanted on it was ‘Lily’ it came saying ‘Ljly’ it also came damaged due to the packaging not being substantial enough. I contacted the email address as the live chat they say they have is none existent, it took them a good few days to first reply, on the reply I was asked to upload pictures of it which is fine so I did only to then receive a reply over a day later saying please print a returns label off and take it to your post office with a note inside as to why your returning 1. Ive already explained in my first email why I want a refund 2. We are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I am on furlough so not at work and unable to print a label also on an NHS letter stating I cannot leave the house for 12 weeks. I explain this and asked for a label to be sent out but to no surprise they couldn’t help with that. So I’ve basically had to go well out of my way and against the advise of the NHS just to return a gift that came wrong and damaged from you ? Clearly your customer service is diabolical and I will never ever use you again and will definitely be sharing my view on your company to make sure no body else does either ! I’ve yet to receive my refund I’ve no doubt that will be a battle aswell
