An absolutely terrible company!

Been trying to contact them for 4 weeks attempting to get a refund of £83.50. Emails are ignored as well as messages sent through Instagram and Facebook. Luckily I have the proof of return by Royal Mail with the date when the return was received by them. Now have no option but to submit a chargeback through my credit card company. That's the first and last time I use Balou!

UPDATE: Re response below from Balou yesterday. I immediately emailed them AGAIN and still nothing. Now submitting details to my credit card company for a chargeback.

AS REQUESTED: Order # 1539

Fast delivery

I received the order in time, all good. I am not sure about customer service, as the products were perfect and didn't need any support.

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. Returned a dress to exchange. No acknowledgement of return or exchange being shipped out. Same has happened with my sister.

Beautiful dress but sizing is completely off. My niece will need 2 sizes smaller.

Very worried I'm not going to get my exchange. We have a wedding next weekend and she has no dress to wear.

Unprofessional/ SCAM

I haven’t receive my dress, kitchen utensils were send instead! Unprofessional way of dealing with the situation, seems like SCAM to me! I am asking for refund and they never came back with an answer! More than a week to reply. Stay far away.

Amazing quality staples and stunning designs 😍

Such a gorgeous brand with beautiful quality clothing.
I ordered a number of pieces from their linen range for my daughter and I and was so impressed by the speed of delivery and the gorgeous quality and designs. It feels so luxe! These are staple pieces I'll be wearing year in, year out! Lots of compliments when we wore them out too! Would highly recommend and will be looking for some more pieces for a wedding we're going to.

Over the moon with my order! Bought a collar jacket for my nephew and I was so impressed with the quality of the material and overall style! Will definitely be shopping here again. Highly recommend!

Great quality

I have purchased a few baby outfits as gifts from Balou, they were really loved. I also bought a couple of items for myself too. The quality is great. They wash well and look great on. Very happy with this brand ♥️

Gorgeous fashion for mums and children!

Ordered from this website and loved how different the children’s clothes were to mainstream fashion. I loved the pink dress for 1 year old and fit wonderfully! Received so many comments! Will definitely be ordering again! It has an easy to use website. Delivery time and packaging was also spot on.
