First time purchase!

First time making a purchase with English Elm. They have remarkable pricing, however there ratings seem questionable and there’s not a lot of presence in their marketing. I received my box within 5-6 days but no communication or updates of shipment, which made me very uneasy with making the purchase. I had to email customer service since there is little evidence of a customer service line. If you follow their instructions you can email them and they promptly respond! My package literally was arriving the next day! The package was neat and no fussi LOVE this set i scoured everywhere for! Thank you for being a stand up company!

The rug is lovely and just as described. I was confused however by the lack of information about shipping. When l asked for clarification l was told to expect delivery in 5-7 days. A rug arrived the next day.l couldn’t unwrap it due to a construction delay. Several days later l was told my rug was ready to be shipped. This disconnect had me wondering if l had received the right rug or was going to receive and be charged for a second rug. Eventually, customer service assured me that wasn’t the case. In the end, all is well but the confusion was stressful and seemed unprofessional.

Very disappointed

I never write reviews. I am writing this because my experience was so awful that I think the company needs to make some adjustments in how they operate. Customer service is literally impossible to get a hold of. There is no phone number to be found. You can’t talk to anybody and you’re unable to reply to the one email that was sent regarding the purchase despite the line on the email that says “if you have questions, simply reply to this email”. Communication on my purchase and the shipping process was close to nonexistent. The shipping company brought the box in and placed it down on a side, so there was no way to notice that the side they left it down on was torn open. The box was taped together every which direction because it had obviously been falling apart. It was my understanding that the shipping company was going to assemble the table and remove all packaging which they insisted was not the case. I would not have purchased a very heavy piece of solid wood furniture at the considerable purchase price that was not going to be put together and the packaging removed as I am 5’2” and weigh 105 pounds. I have no way to do this on my own.

Hi Brooke, we’re truly sorry for the difficulties you experienced. This is far from the level of communication and support we want to provide. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive almost no updates, to struggle reaching customer service, and to have the shipping company deliver the item improperly and without the assembly service you expected—especially given the weight of the furniture.

Please email us at sales@englishelm.com
with your order details so we can review what happened, address the delivery issue with the carrier, and work on a solution that supports you. We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us identify where we need to improve our processes and communication.

Beware!

I've had the ottoman less than a month and it's peeling on the top and this place doesn't have a customer service number. Shady.

Hi MTQ, we’re so sorry to hear your ottoman is already peeling—that’s definitely not the quality we want our customers to experience. We also apologize for the frustration of not finding a phone number. Please email us at sales@englishelm.com with your order details and photos so we can review this right away and work on a solution for you.

Super helpful

The team reached out right after my order to let me know it was backordered, and gave me the option to wait or cancel the order. I decided to wait, and it was really fast and the item is beautiful, I love it. Will shop here again!

Still waiting for my order that was…

Still waiting for my order that was recently cancelled by Metropolitan, the delivery carrier. I see from the tracking it’s been in NC for at least a week and no new delivery date has been scheduled. It’s marked “on hold” in their system, and tracking shows NC. It must be in a warehouse somewhere, hoping I get it by the holidays. Can’t give a good review until I see it in the house unfortunately. Been waiting for shipment since 9/15, so it’s been 2 months and I do understand there have been delays, but it was unfortunate to expect delivery today as scheduled, only to receive a call that they don’t even have it and no new delivery date can be scheduled. Hope to update this review once delivered.

Hi Susan, we’re truly sorry for the long wait and the frustration caused by the carrier cancellation and tracking delays. We understand how disappointing it is to expect delivery only to learn the item is on hold with no new date—especially after two months of waiting. Please email us at sales@englishelm.com with your order number so we can coordinate with Metropolitan right away, locate your shipment in NC, and work to get you a clear delivery update as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience, and we’ll do everything we can to help ensure this arrives well before the holidays.
