Took payment never sent items, ignored all communication. Do not buy from Candle Factory you will not receive the goods and you will not get your money back.

As with everyone else

As with everyone else, we ordered Yankee candle gift sets and got a dispatch text. Waited 3 weeks and nothing. Filled out the online contact us form and heard nothing. Email sent and still nothing. I hate to say it but I feel we’ve been done over. Low life scum!!

Avoid

Same as the others on here, ordered mid Nov, no reply from emails. Can't believe I've been done over. As if things aren't bad enough there are people out there doing this sort of thing. Fuming.

Ordered 2 Yankee candle gifts sets from this company. Was told they had been dispatched on November 21st and have not received anything. When I tried to email them to ask about delivery, tracking no etc I have not had any answers at all. Obviously a scam. Please do not use this company. It’s disgraceful to take nearly £50 from me. I am so angry with this company.

** Updated* Gerald Glennon Fraudster Takes your money and don’t fulfil orders

I have now reported this to the Action Fraud team- I would ask everyone to do this , it takes 5 minutes to complete the form on line and the more people that do this the bigger chance this fraudster gets his comeuppance (10/12/20)

I placed 2 orders for advent calendars for my family, money taken but totally ignoring emails - obviously a scam. I have raised this as a dispute, I have checked companies house and showing as trading. How he can live with himself taking peoples money fraudulently and made worse after the year we have all endured

My mother ordered yankee candles for xmas, her experience is the same as everyone else here, took the money, no real tracking details sent, no response to emails sent over the course of a month. Obviously a scammer, the site should be taken down and the owner prosecuted if he is in fact stealing peoples money. No good can come from stealing from people like this, they should place their focus on something that doesn't effect others negatively. Setting up a site with the intention of allegedly scamming people is a really low level thing to do.

Scammed by Gerard Glennon :-(

Very disappointed that I fell for this scam on this fake website. As with others here, placed an order back in November for an advent calendar and candles. Didn't receive - even after following up on multiple occasions and requesting a refund. Had to contact credit card company and reported the company (GLENNON TRADING LIMITED) to trading standards through the online form. Have now fortunately received my money back. Really horrible that the owner Gerard Glennon feels entitled to scam innocent people at Christmas. I hope that others similarly affected are able to get their monies returned. I hope that this website gets shut down by Trading Standards. Please avoid and do NOT send Gerard your money.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM

Placed an order back in November, they took payment. But never sent the item. Had emailed them to see if they could help me to track the item. But no one emailed backed. When i found them on facebook. a couple of people had commented and thats when i found out that they are a scam company. They take your money but don't send the good. Contacted Action fraud and reported them. Others need to do the same
