“I placed an order on 24 February and received email confirmation saying it will be delivered by 18 March. Nothing has been delivered. I have emailed many times and sent a written letter to which I have received no reply. It seems impossible to get a refund as my emails are ignored and the phone lines are closed. Would not recommend or use again.”
“I have spent over £40 and still haven't received my order, order was placed 6th March, it is now 7th April and no sign of my order. No response to my emails and the phone lines are closed. Disgusting treatment, give me my money back you theiving robbers.”
“Customer service is a joke. I've had a delivery come through and half the stuff is missing. I've waited for the relevant 15 working days on the sales items and now its been over a month, I'm getting no response from their customer service. There is no phone number to call. Absolutely frustrated now.”
“Joke of a company, placed 2 seperate orders, one dispatched and lost the only part fulfilled as items are no-longer in stock?!! Still awaiting 2 refunds, absolutely shocking service.”
“Waiting a month for my order no response from customer service team. Poor customer service! The items clearly aren't coming and I can’t get a response from anyone to get a refund!!”
“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.”
“Rubbish company as per all the below 1 star reviews items ordered out of stock or take weeks to arrive. why is it showing as a 4.5 star company when you scroll below they are nearly all 1 star where doses the other 3.5 stars come from?”
“Wouldnt bother ordering from matalan . They don’t arrive , and what ever does arrive isn’t what you ordered . Waste of time . Took over 5weeks to arrive and it wasn’t even in the correct size .”
“Absolute rubbish company waited over 4 weeks to be told my parcel had been sent out.4 days later its missing and they have issued me with a refund yet said it had got sent out.7 days later still waiting for my refund of nearly 60quid.my bank said there is no refund as it would have shown on there system liars”
“Ordered an item for elderly shielding parent over a month ago
Hermes tracking say it is out for delivery to the wrong address
Hermes customer service a joke and no phone line for Matalan customer service
No reply to 3 emails from Matalan
Money went out off my bank straight away
Very poor service even in these times
Won’t shop there 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.”
“Ordered online and returned to local store on 5 March, no email received so contacted CS who confirmed items had been received and credit would be 14 days. Now 18 days later and no credit to my bank account”
“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”
“Unfortunately just like everyone else i only received half of my order and they took full payment. Thieves shamelessly ripping of customers! 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.”
