Ready not happy with customer service I…

Ready not happy with customer service I tried to return a bottle of perfume which was not smelling right when I try to return for a new bottle not asking for money back , I was refused!!!! last time I spend my money with a perfume shop. I’m a regular spender and at this time I did spend £200 never again customer service terrible. I’ll shop elsewhere.

Emma, a Star sales person

I have been a customer of the perfume shop for last 15 years. My experience this time at Edinburgh St James branch was made special by Emma. Emma during the busy time has given me and my family full attention and respect. We bought more perfumes than we planned during our visit. Thanks and well done Emma. Keep it up.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service, I reported a missing item from my parcel after spending a substantial amount and was assured it would be prioritised and I would have a replacement by 09/09/26. It is now 11/09/26 and I have still not heard anything. I will be taking this to the ombudsman to recover my money and if need be small claims!

WHAT CAN I SAY!!!

What can I say, very professional, polite, patient and very knowledgeable staff at this store. No pushy sales tactics. I was greeted by Nicola....what a women so professional and amazing at her job. Will definitely be back if that's the level of service. Keep up the good work team. You are all an Asset to your store at Silverburn. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend your store.
Thank you Nicola 😊
