“Ordered £46 of clothes. Went over £40 to get the promised free delivery. Have had 2 deliveries, only half of the items, and 2 are incorrect. They've taken money for these from my bank and charged me £4 postage. No response to emails. Worst online shopping experience I've had during this pandemic. Wont be doing it again.”

“3 to 5 days delivery is not true. Weeks later still not received items, unable to contact by phone as they've closed the phone lines, emails ignored. Read the comments on their Facebook posts before placing any orders... if you do order then pay with PayPal so you have a hope of getting a refund d”

“Promise a delivery window but don’t stick to it. Impossible to contact by phone as they have suspended phone lines. Don’t answer e-mails. My advice is spend your money elsewhere.”

“IT Luggage Divinity Suitcase large size cost £55 to collect, although the money came out of my bank account, there is no receipt or any type of email to prove I can collect, in fact it’s like the product is only on “my bag” like it wasn’t paid. I really need the luggage urgently or my money back. There’s no phone line to contact as they use COVID as an excuse to close down the lines, there for there’s no answer to my complaint I lost my money and no luggage”

“Click and Collect. Surely after several lockdowns you would have got the click and collect service down to a tee look at all other retailers for guidance. Waited outside St Helens store for 10 minutes knocking on door . Called number posted on the door . Could hear phone ringing in shop still waited further5 minutes before miserable shop attendant came .No smile no good afternoon nothing. And this is not the first time Dreadful service Never shop there again”

Dreadful experience spent quite a lot only to receive some of the goods, customer service lines not running convieniently emailed so many times to no replies wrote on facebook Instagram nothing took full payment and never sent items I have now taken this up with my bank that way but disgusted by Matalan dreadful experience real shame as always shopped here they took all the full payment exactly as someone else said I SUSPECT THEY ARE GOING BANKRUPT AND TAKING FRANKLY STEALING ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN FROM THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS ALONG THE WAY”

“Myself and my wife have used the store for years, with no problems until recently. My wife made an order online, for four items of clothing. One of the items did not fit, so she returned it to the Waterlooville store on 02/03/21. After nine days, my wife returned to the same store to query the missing refund (not paid into our account). The staff member she dealt with was extremely unhelpful and generally rude in her manner. She insisted that it was our responsibility to pursue the refund with the Matalan head office and insisted there was nothing that she could do locally in-store. Eventually, the staff member reluctantly got the Manager to assist. The Manager checked the order details and assured my wife the payment would be in our account within the fourteen day returns window. It's now nearly three weeks and we are still chasing up our missing refund with no joy. The store have insisted they have refunded the item, yet no money has been paid into our account. We offered to take a bank statement to verify this but got no response.”

“Over £100 worth of items ordered 4 weeks ago. No delivery. Chased numerous times through email and social media. They don't respond and you can't currently call as Matalan have closed their phone lines. Finally an email to say my package has been lost by the courier but instead of resending they are cancelling my order and will refund. The customer service is terrible. Why Matalan are spending budget in a TV sponsorship when they can't get the basics right is beyond me. This company needs to prioritise its spending!”

“Without a doubt this company have gone downhill badly! Ordered goods which were due to be delivered on or before 25 Feb by Hermes (that was the first red flag). Goods of course didn't arrive and untraceable, so then the inevitable delaying tactics and emails started. We are now on the 'let's try and get a refund' stage which has also passed the time estimates given. A complete shambles start to finish!”

“Received my order delivered by Hermes, 3 of the items where smashed to pieces and one item was missing, I’ve emailed every day with my order number and have been totally ignored, I will never buy from Matalan again even when the stores reopen, I am disgusted with their customer service department. SHAME ON YOU MATALAN 😡”

“Abysmal customer service, wouldn’t even rate it 1 star. I ordered an item on 25th January 2021, was sent an email confirming my order and the money was taken from my account. Weeks went by and I received an email saying my item had been dispatched ... well we’re now nearly mid March and I haven’t received my item. I have emailed the customer service team several times (their phone lines are closed) only to get pitiful responses from their incompetent team. I got one email saying my item was missing and they couldn’t source it so she had sent the money back to me and it would appear in my account 3-5 days ... that was 11 days ago now and no refund. I am still waiting a response to my emails, an apology and my money back. Absolutely disgusted in their lack of service and that they would withhold people’s money in these difficult times”
