Unbelievable customer service from a store that prides in self in selling such high end goods. I have to keep chasing customer services for a product that was received damaged only to be told by one person that it is being investigated after I sent photos, then no response then to be told by someone else I will receive a partial refund for no fault of mine. Then I called in for the 3rd time to be told it will all be resolved by the morning and I receive an email saying a request for refund has been made and I will be informed. Nothing about how I can purchase the same item again @the 20% sale as it was a Christmas gift. Its totally shambolic! Please sort this out as its unacceptable!

Read Trustpilot, where they have a rating of 1.8 out of 5 with over 1,400 reviews. We didn't until now and it was too late. Order # 103316167. Called customer service multiple times and e-mailed them 3 times. It was a complete waste of time. It is strange when a store that sells high-end items treats their customers so poorly. I'm from the U.S. and am used to the type of great customer service that Nordstrom or Amazon.com delivers so this is all pretty new to me.

My worst shopping experience ever My order: two Loewe bags costing 4100£ in total I received a completely wrong bag (first bag) and a slightly defective bag (second bag). I have taken photos of both bags and the problem of the second bag. I was so disappointed. So basically I took them out for 5 minutes for photos. Since I can’t get an exchange so I decided to refund and order again to get the correct one and a better bag. They refused to refund for the said second bag saying I have damaged it without providing any information of what happened actually. I spent my last few days chasing for an explanation without success. It is a 2000£ bag! It has wasted so much of my time and I genuinely suffer from serious emotional distress. I am still chasing.. SO BE CAREFUL THEY SEND OUT FAULTY ITEMS AND ACCUSE YOU HAVE DAMAGED IT. AVIOD THE SHOP AT ALL COSTS.

Selfridges arranged a collection of a… I purchased a pair of designer shoes online as Selfridges, like many stores, were closed during lockdown. The shoes were too small therefore Selfridges arranged a collection service direct with DPD. Six weeks on and I still haven’t received a refund as Selfridges advise their company policy “won’t refund the customer until the courier either delivers the collected goods to Selfridges or admits liability of the lost items” resulting in the customer carrying the financial burden of the transaction. As a result of this, I wouldn’t feel confident ordering online again.

Don't Trust These Incompetent Liars. Absolutely disgusting service, placed an order for three tablets costing nearly £900 only to have my order cancelled the following morning stating I hadn't passed security checks and by pure coincidence the price of each tablet had gone up from £297 to £349. On speaking to a member of customer service they informed me it was not actually anything to do with a security check and that it was Samsung that had cancelled the order and not Selfridges and that they would contact Samsung to find out why and get back to me. Apparently the items are shipped straight from Samsung and they can cancel your order even though your order is placed with Selfridges which is not on. No one got back to me so after 24 hours I contacted customer services again and spoke to a different member off staff to be told a completely different story and that the order was cancelled because it hadn't passed the security check but no actual reason was given and that what her colleague had told me previously was wrong, so basically I've been ignored and lied to and they wont honor the original price. What a circus and I'm sorry I didn't see all the negative reviews before I placed an order with these clowns, the staff at Chicken Cottage have better customer service skills so vote with your wallets and buy elsewhere because the bottom line is that they simply do not care, you have been warned.

Updated: Potential customers DO NOT GET FOOLED with below ‘ contact social team they will be happy to help’ this is done just to make themselves look better. I have contacted Social Team and they are ‘ unable to help me further’ so as below they keeping my item/ my refund. Please save yourself hassle and money and shop elsewhere!! Dreadful experience! I should of read the reviews before purchasing shame I haven’t! I’ve purchased Gucci scarf- delivered all correctly. Didn’t like the colour so decided to return. Item was returned approx 20.07 ever since then I still haven’t got my refund. I have sent approximately 10 chasing up emails - no reply from anyone - no communication Eventually I’ve opened the case with them on Resolver- again no response since 01.08 so it’s another month going and I haven’t heard anything from customer service who probably lost my parcel hence no refund and no communication £225 short and big lesson learnt- avoid Selfridges at all costs

Alexander McQueen Ladies Trainers My 18-year-old daughter has wanted a pair of Alexander McQueen Trainers for 5 to 6 months at a cost of £360. She had saved up and wanted to but them before the Covid lockdown. But had to wait as she missed it with the shops shutting. As soon as Selfridges at Manchester Trafford Center opened on the 15 June she could not wait any longer, so excited she went and bought the trainers and she had wanted for so long. Very pleased and proud of her purchase she brought them home to show them off to us her mum, dad and her sister. The next day on the 16 June she wore them for the first time and went to show them to her friend, she wore black pants/jeans. On the 17 June she went to put them on again and noticed that they had discoloured from the pants/jeans she wore the previous day. I returned them to Selfridges on the 17 June and spoke to the shoe department manager Stacey who told me that there was nothing they could do as it was not the shoes fault. That my daughter’s fault and that she should not have worn dark long pants that could meet the shoe as it was her fault. Basically, telling me that she should have only worn shorts, a dress, light coloured pants ETC that would not meet the shoe. Firstly, shoes should be made to stand contact with other colours from clothes and pants, at least more than once, before discolouring. I have worn white trainers for many years with dark black and blue jeans and I have never had this issue ever. You purchase what is supposed to be a top brand from a top brand store at a cost of £360 you expect certain things from them both. You expect to be able to wear the trainers more than once before any fault occurs. This is a design fault as I believe that they should have had some sort of fabric protection applied to the shoe to protect the shoe form this can of occurrence. After all you can get stain resistance carpets that will repel bleach but you can not buy a pair of Alexander Mcqueen trainers to with stand wearing pants or jeans. If it is the case that you cannot wear dark clothes then Jessica and other staff at Selfridges should advise the customer that the shoes are not fit to wear with anything that is long or dark as colour transfer will take place. My daughter was miss sold this trainer as Jessica and the manager Stacey who are more than happy to take your hard earn wages £360 but not advise you about how rubbish this shoe is at withstanding normal wear and tear.

The very worst on-line shopping experience I ever had. They cancel the transaction due to lack of stock, but they don't cancel the trasanction. It happened twice and Istill writing for my money back. I called customer service because by email they didn't reply, but it was useless as it is related to another department. I am still waiting. Don't BUY NOTHING THERE!!!

I was charged extra for water and whipped cream for my hot chocolate. Furthermore, without asking they assumed I wanted to pay in USD rather than pounds, adding more to their bottom line. The service was terrible at Alto. The assumptions of kindness and honesty towards a visitor from the US were unmet, especially during this time of duress for all!

I could give a zero, I would do. I had lots of problems with a refund. It’s taken for me about two months and 1000 phone calls as email never been replied . I had the promised to have compensation as soon they receive my order. But when I sent an email about compensation as always no reply. As proof email from selfiriges Dear Ekaterina, Thank you for our phone call. I am writing to you to confirm our recent phone call regarding your return of order 88713582, as discussed on the call I have looked into your case for you and I will be looking into having this solved as soon as possible for you and I will be calling you by 4 today for any update regardless. Once we have managed to arrange the return as promised I will be passing this to the relevant department to look into compensating you for the time the return has taken to be arranged and also the numerous phone calls you have made to us. In the meantime if you have any queries at all please do ask, if not I will be in contact later on today to discuss an update. If you have any queries, please do ask. Kind regards,

I wish I could give the company zero starts! They are absolutely the worst!!!!! While they have some great deals and brands, do not expect to get a refund if an item you order does not fit you. After a month since I returned my order, I finally contacted them and asked about my return. Oh, well, they do not know what happened to my return!!!! I returned an item with DHL the day after I received it. The DHL employee picked up a package in person as they always do when I return something I bought on European websites. However, DHL does not usually give me a receipt, which I do not care much about since there is never an issue with their services. So I provided Selfridges employee with a return ID from my email confirmation of a pick up. Apparently, Selfridges has no record of my return and they refused to give me a refund. I would at minimum expect them to contact DHL and find out about what happened because other Selfridges' customers could have an issue with their deliveries and returns. Instead I just got an answer that Selfridges does not know what happened and they are not going to refund my purchase! That's some shitty customer service. I advise everyone to spend your money elsewhere! I will never order from Selfridges again!!!!!

Worst customer service ever. I shopped 4 pieces of cloth on 9 Dec, however, it’s been more than a month, I haven’t received this delivery and no tracking information at all. I contacted customer service for 5 times, only got auto-reply and twice with someone telling me that they’re gonna look into it, but never got any follow up. My Christmas gifts are now just nowhere to be found and I can’t even get a refund.

I ordered a Tom Ford £380 wallet for my husband’s Christmas present and received an empty TF box with just a price tag in it. After exchanging emails with customer services I was told they believe I received the wallet and were not going to refund the money! Be wary of making expensive online purchases from Selfridges. Their packaging people steal the goods you have already paid for and get away with it.

Long story short, I ordered a product online because two stores (London & B'ham) had no stock - a whole 18 days before Christmas. Selfridges lost my parcel before it arrived with the courier, and I had to call 10 days after ordering to find this out. Then - "We will refund your order, wait 3-5 days and then place another order" - umm, no. A manager then promised to refund my order to a voucher, but then use this voucher to raise a new order and express deliver it for my troubles. I should hear from them tomorrow - okay, great! I wake up to an email - "We were out of stock online, so you have no new order but here's a e-voucher refund (which can only be used online - not in store). Selfridges didn't have the decency to call and explain/discuss - this is a total cop out. I called again to complain, and the 3rd supervisor I spoke to started rattling T&Cs at me and showed no sign of remorse. So, end of the story - my partner is left with no Christmas present, I'm left with a voucher that I don't want to grace Selfridges with (not that my product is in stock anyway), and I receive nothing in the form of compensation. Thank you @Selfridges, you've not only ruined someone's Christmas but also lost a loyal customer and brand advocate!
