purchased two items from Hobbs. Both expensive items. First purchase arrived within day but had to be returned because of size. 6 weeks later I am still awaiting a refund. The second item never arrived and despite producing the tracking details to prove that the item was still in their wearhouse, I had to send daily emails to try and get a refund. I have always purchased Hobbs, but this experience has left me very dubious that I will never shop online for Hobbs again....... Unfortunately this is the only way I can get to them to look for my refund.....

don't waste your time or money ordering online from them they will take your money but you will never receive your good from them or even receive a response to your emails had to do a change back with Mastercard to get my money just a complete waste of time

I made an order from Hobbs which arrived in a few days, but had to return as it was too big. I paid €255 plus postage and then postage when returning, which I did well over two weeks now and I have yet to receive a refund...... Another order I made the same time online valued at €504 hasn't even arrived after 3 weeks of waiting. So now I am €759 in debt with nothing to show for it. Am furious with their support team which just constantly send generic emails, thanking me for my patience, which is well and truly running very thin....... Phone calls are not answered. This appears the only way I can get their attention is by threatening their star rating.......

if there was less than 1 star, I will rate them less. it is actually scam; they offered 10% discount for new customers which was my case, but it doesn't work! they have the werst customer service and follow up as they never tell you about the hidden charges for ROW online delivery which is almost 25% of what you have paid plus the delivery charges which you already paid; I never recommend that very bad experience to anyone.

I felt so much disappointed and frustrated about how the customer service most especially the manager. To make the story short Hobbs should be the one accountable and responsible to admit their mistakes not the third party. It is so annoying that Hobbs has taken your money fir your bought item and still you haven’t received it. Hobbs is not professional to admit their mistake and solve the problem as quick as they could. They kept promising the manager will speak to you within 24 hour and many 24 hours have gone by still no any sorts of communication I have received from Hobbs, very frustrating

Ordered online with their 3-5 day delivery window, 6 days later I am still waiting for my dress (that I need urgently as I am moving house in two days time) and their incompetent courier company, Evri, seem to have lost my order. Despite repeatedly contacting their dire customer service centre who are incapable of helping me resolve this issue, I am still no closer to finding my items. As for trying to speak to their courier company, well they are even worse (all AI generated bots). So goodbye Hobbs from a previous loyal customer.

Had 2 emails to inform us that our parcel was delayed but we the parcel had been delivered the previous week, this was the red flag.....Returns..we were only refunded for one of the items out of the two that were in the same parcel...As we guessed bad service on our first and probably the last order

Placed order 5 weeks ago and it still hasn’t arrived. Got an email ten days after the order was placed saying sorry but it will be delayed but with no timescale. This after paying £2 for the 3-5 day delivery. Sent a customer service enquiry 3 weeks ago which has not been replied to. The link to their website to track the delivery crashes. All in all a disaster. It seems from all these reviews that Hobbs doesn’t know how to run an online business and should stick to old fashioned shops.

Despite how nice the clothings are, I will NEVER shop from Hobbs again! If you live in Switzerland Do NOT order it from Hobbs online. I’ve ordered a coat, a sweater and some small items. After receiving confirmation email with all the products I’ve ordered, they sent me another email telling me my coat is canceled one week later. I have to pay both delivery and import tax for the rest of the item without being asked if I still want to keep them. Ok, so I immediately informed them I wanted to cancel the rest of items because it’s not worth for me to pay the high cost of international delivery on top of the import tax. So another week passed and they only copied and pasted the same email and told me they are contacting DHL but nth happened till 2 days ago I paid for almost 50chf tax on the item that costs around 75 gbp. I am surprised why haven’t I recieved the items and today Hobbs CS told me they have got back the parcel that I’ve paid tax for!!! As if they are doing me a favor!!! All they offered is the 75gpb refund, they excluded the delivery cost I’ve paid and the Tax I have already paid. So i paid for 20gpb delivery and 50chf tax and they got back everything!!!! Their lack of communication in CS and lake of sense of responsibility is really disappointing!!!!!!! I will NEVER EVER shop from Hobbs again and I will make sure my words spread so there won’t be victims like me in Switzerland!!!!! I am hoping they will contact DHL and told them they have never delivered the parcel to me and refund the tax to me. Also I want them to refund the delivery cost back to me! It’s not only about money, it’s how they handle this simple situation and can screw up to the max point has totally shocked me! I love their coats and when you hear Hobbs, you think of the nice UK brands but now I hope they are ashamed of how they treat their cosutomers and they have totally caused me a lot of hassles from 28/9 to 12/10!!

Ordered a jacket, computer crashed and because I didn't receive a confirmation email/order number I assumed my order hadn't been processed. Silly me - my bank account was debited £130 + premium delivery. 5 days later, a 50 minute wait to talk to customer services and numerous online chats I still haven't received the jacket or been given any idea when the jacket will be despatched. Very incompetent customer service - don't order anything from Hobbs if you need it for anything special. You can't rely on it. It's not how Hobbs brand themselves 'Hobbs - Luxury British Fashion' - there's nothing luxury about the service. If there's a problem with stock and delivery, why allow customers to order. I'm very disappointed and won't use their online system again.

No communication, paid for Premium deliver within 3 day, 4 days later not even shipped 100% unreliable. Never ever again. Even the phone lines are closed, Money taken under false pretences. On line sale avoid like the plague.

Low Compensation Standards I ordered a coat online and it arrived to me ripped on the inside of the armpit. The coat also stinked of fried food very badly. The cost of this coat was 150 pounds. I contacted customer service to report the issue and the three options I was offered was 1. to return the coat and get a refund 2. to be offered a maximum of 20 pounds to repair the jacket 3. to be given 10% discount on the 150 pounds. This particular coat was out of stock for a very long time and I waited until it came back into stock. Once it was back in stock I ordered it but it arrived to me in this condition. Now is out of stock again so I cannot order it again even if I return the faulty one and get my money back. I understand that these three options I was offered by the company are following the rules of the Consumer Right Act but from a brand like Hobbs I was expecting more. It is an expensive brand so you would expect some higher standard of compensation. It seems that my compensation was even more inconvinience (return the coat back or take it for repair). The 10% discount from such a brand sounds comical. Amazon is an example of great customer service that in cases like this they will just send you the same item without having to return the faulty one and if the item is out of stock they will just refund you without expecting you to return the faulty one. I am speaking from a personal experience.

As far as customer service goes, this company has got to be the worst I have had the misfortune to deal with. Given the cost of the clothing from this company I would have expected a better service. I lost button from a raincoat I bought from them, and wrote asking if they could sell me either a single button, or a new set of buttons, in which case I would replace them all. I supplied all the requested, necessary details, product code etc. After getting no reply for several weeks I contacted them again only to be told they had just heard back from the warehouse and they didn't have any spare buttons. The ratio of supplying one button, to me never buying anything from Hobbs again doesn't work out in Hobbs favour. But then, given the majority of reviews I have read regarding Hobbs, it would seem they you don't care anyway.

I lost button from a raincoat I bought from Hobbs. I contacted customer service and supplied all the details requested, product code etc. Was informed by CS that they would check with warehouse and get back to me. I never heard back so few weeks later I contacted them again. I was told that they had just heard back from the warehouse and they didn't have a spare button. I was quite happy to pay for a new set if that was the only option, but again was refused. Disgusted, given the amount of clothing I have bought in the past both from in store and on-line. The ratio of cost to yourselves for the supply of one button, to my never buying anything for your company ever again is not good. One button, is all it would have taken to make a regular customer happy.

Ordered a dress on October 18th, still don’t have it. Tried to contact them with no success. Finally I open a dispute through the credit card company then, they e-mailed me saying that my e-mails to them were blocked for whatever reason. I received a message that the package arrived in USA on November 15th and estimated delivery date is Monday November 23rd. Then, the delivery date was changed to Wednesday November 25th. Now, message says estimated delivery date to be determined. This was my first order from Hobbs and is going to be the last, for sure.

Shocking customer service. I ordered a pair of boots online. When they arrived, I discovered they had a scuff mark on the toe which had been painted over! Hobbs knowingly sold damaged goods. Customer service told me I would have to return them via the post office during the lockdown. I could wait to return them to a store but, in the meantime, I would be £469 out of pocket for £200 boots as if I re-ordered a new (hopefully undamaged) pair as they would no longer on sale and I would have to wait until after lockdown for my refund. I was offered a price match refund if I ordered new boots and them emailed Hobbs upon receiving the items, to chase them up. So, in summary, I was sent damaged goods in purpose and yet I am out of pocket and significantly inconvenienced. It is lucky this is not an American or Asian company as they would be out of business for such appalling customer service. I will be sticking to other, more reliable retailers from now on.

Good clothes/shoes but not affordable in Europe/Australia I have many Hobbs clothes/shoes either bought through John Lewis or bought through Hobbs online. I now live in Europe but earn GBP. If I want to order from Hobbs online, I can only buy using the EURO site where Hobbs uses an exchange rate of circa. 1.50 instead of 1.12 which it currently is, in addition to reasonable delivery costs. This means I have to convert my GBP earnings into EURO which costs money and pay the Hobbs mark up of 0.38 EURO per pound. I have ordered other goods as presents to Australia and Estonia when the site was GBP based - I won't do this any longer. Shame on Hobbs.

Westfield white city Hobbs very bad store. Some girls are young and customer service zero. All the girls are standing near counter and talking to each other and ignoring the customer . Assistant manager have a lot of tattoo on her hands and showing the tattoo . I didn’t know this store have zero customer service until other few family friends told me. I think management in Hobbs is very poor.

Awful, awful, awful. I would give no stars if I could. Ordered a silk dress. Paid for next day delivery as I am going away. Didn't arrive next day. Arrived day after. When removed from packaging in an appalling state. It had obviously been worn. Was severely wrinkled and the belt had been tightly knotted. Sent photos to Hobbs. Spoke to their customer services team this morning. My post office is a long way away and always very busy. I am busy packing. I cannot understand why I should be put in a position where I do the quality control Hobbs should have done before sending this out. Then spend ages in post office to send it back to them. Spoke to customer services. If I had at least received a big 'how awful, this shouldn't have happened' what can we do? it would have been ok. Instead I was told I COULD trek to the post office or have it dry cleaned but up to a limit of £25. Lucky me. both requires me to take up the slack for the job they should have done. Asked to speak to the supervisor of the team. She was rude, unsympathetic and accused me of shouting at her (I wasn't). I was, however, extremely angry at this point. All the way through there was complete lack of I am really sorry - it arrived a day late, unwearable, this is embarrassing for us as a company. so sorry. Am now off to the dry cleaners where I have to photograph the receipt for cleaning the dress the should NEVER have sent out. Awful

Poor quality dress - zip came away from its runner on second wear. Whilst at work! There was enough slack in dress for this not to have happened. Notified the customer service team at Hobbs but because I purchased the dress from a concessionary outlet they said they could not help me further. I thought they might want to check the dress but they just wanted to shift the burden. Real shame as I thought it was a quality brand. I’m now nervous about wearing the other Hobbs dresses I purchased. In comparison a few years ago I bought a Jigsaw dress and the wool unravelled and they simply switched it for me , no fuss once I had explained what happened and showed the dress. I would be nervous re future Hobbs purchases.
