Disgusting

Attention: Store Manager - Formal Complaint Regarding Staff Order Cancellation Dear Store Manager,I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unacceptable handling of my online order. Your staff abruptly cancelled my purchase purely because they could not be bothered to locate the item thats in stock had one left.When I first enquired about my order, because not despatch your staff told me:"Hello yes everything’s fine. We haven’t mailed it yet as we were waiting on more orders. Is this okay or do you want it sent out straight away? Payed for item and delivery"Shortly after responded, they completely cancelled my order and sent this message:"Hello, I haven’t had the chance to find this item yet, it’s with our Christmas stock. To make things easier I’m just going to cancel your order and remove the item from sale until I’ve have a chance to start on Christmas. Sorry for any inconvenience caused."Cancelling a paid customer order simply because staff find it too inconvenient to look through Christmas boxes is shocking customer service. They actively chose to throw away my order rather than spend a few minutes looking for a product they chose to advertise for sale.As the manager, I expect you to personally look into this lazy behaviour. If the item is physically in your building which it is I want it located send the item to me which it wasnt look forward to your direct reply to this email. Which was ignored was one left in stock on line I ordered last one comes up now out of stock but they one left order number P30704 but order not they now because you cancelled I already have bk carriage need the front one now this happened on your facebook message site and never got email bk never shop with you again rubbish and am sure come on here make excuses

Hi Wendy,

I understand and appreciate your feedback- I'll address a couple of points.

1. Your order has only been dealt with by the owner of the business directly- none of our staff have been involved at any point.
2. The initial delay with your order was in processing due to parcel volume- we do state this may happen in our delivery policy (available on our website).
3. There was a miscommunication regarding the cancellation of your order and for that we apologise.
Our Christmas stock is stored in a totally separate building and upon visiting this store to locate the item she discovered a stock error. Since you had been in touch frequently chasing your order through multiple methods of communication my boss made the decision to cancel your order and refund you fully rather than keep your money for an indeterminate amount of time while we searched for the missing item (we have now confirmed we definitely do not have it in stock at all). She did not want to hold your funds and prevent you from looking elsewhere for the item.
This was obviously not communicated clearly to you during the cancellation process- which is something we will look at on our end and take steps to make sure doesn't happen again.

I am very sorry this stock error and miscommunication have caused you such inconvenience and distress.

Had a great experience

Had a great experience, my payment failed on an order but after speaking to Lynsey who was fantastic we got it all sorted out. Price is great especially in the current market of everywhere overcharging and really couldn’t have asked for better help from the customer service side of things

Will definitely be aiming to get some more things from here in the future!

Rare LoL Toy Immaculate Packaging

I wanted to write this review as I had reservations when I first placed my order. This is a brilliant little shop that stocks toys you won’t get anywhere else. A couple of points to note, they aren’t fast it always takes about a week to get to you so if you need things next day this isn’t going to be a good fit. The tracking is rubbish so you’ve no idea where your order is but be assured it will get there. Now the positives, they never take your order if they haven’t got it and most importantly they have stock you won’t get anywhere else at a very competitive price. So here’s my recommendation if you can wait 5-7 days and want rare toys no else has then this is a great store so definitely recommend it.

What a gem !

What a gem ! Found Harrys Department Store on line when looking for a specific item that wasn’t in stock anywhere else. Ordered on the Friday, parcel arrived from them the following Monday!! I got the items I wanted, in perfect condition and at a good price 😁. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for such great customer service x

Worst Customer Service ever

Worst Customer Service ever , order not received since 1st week of June , raised complaint multiple times no response received about the delivery , their Live chat is a Joke not even once worked. We are in 2022 even small firms have better customer service than harrysdepartmentstore, you will loose the customers if you continue like this in no time.
Bad, bad, bad.

Hi Imad, we're sorry to hear you're unhappy with our service.
We struggled to find your order until we discovered you ordered the items from us on 3/7/22 (not in the first week of June) and had it sent to a different delivery address under a different name. Tracking shows this parcel was delivered on 7/7/22.
We have checked our records and do not appear to have any written correspondence from you regarding complaints.
We would recommend you get in touch with the gentleman at your delivery address to retrieve your parcel.

We admitted fault for this mistake and asked the customer to give us a period of time to try to solve the problem. Unfortunately the billing address ended up not being a physical location and so, although we could not retrieve the goods, we did provide a refund. At the time of this review, it had not been 20 days since the order was placed.

Friendly pre-sales advice and fast shipping when order was placed. The order was well packed, postage fair and the overall shopping experience very positive. We would definitely not hesitate to shop with Harry's again!

I had a great experience with this department store. I wanted a specific bike for my young daughter and during the pandemic bikes were hard to come by as everyone was buying bikes. I found the bike i wanted online at Harry's department store on the Shetland islands. As I live in England I was concerned about how delivery would be undertaken. I contacted them and everyone i spoke to was lovely and very helpful. Delivery was prompt with no problems at all. Great service thanks!
