Perfect order quality and price

Ordered some Joules clothing, perfect transaction almost half the price of Joules direct, was a little worried about the low starred reviews on here, hence the reason for my 5 ⭐️ review, great product, value, service and delivery would recommend and definitely use again thanks 👍🏼😀

My second time at the summerford park site . Very rude and arrogant staff . Security pins all over the floor and to call a very obedient quiet nervous dog " that" was just disgraceful . Lost a sale today and will never visit again

I experienced very poor and…

I experienced very poor and disinterested service from this company, despite spending hundreds of pounds over the past year buying goods from them. A good business reflects on customer service, and this company only appears to be interested in profit with zero customer service or assistance. I received a damaged item within my order, and was not offered suitable compensation or a replacement. In my opinion, I strongly feel this company is dishonest and I will never purchase from them again.

Bought 2 new hats recently

Bought 2 new hats recently, had to do a number of interactions with the stores and customer services to arrange holding certain low stock sizes and collecting items and discounts- everyone was super helpful and knew what was going on so that was really great!

The worst customer service!

The worst customer service!
Order was placed on 11th November, received communication to say there was a problem with my order 6 days later, 1 item was out of stock but they never sent the rest of the order, did not get a response to the email I sent stating the alternative I wanted low and behold they claimed the email was never received even though they admitted they could see it in the email thread. 10 days down the line and I still had not received anything. ruined 2 events my daughter was meant to attend and left me severely out of pocket (£120). Chased up and was told I had to pay the difference on the alternative I chose (£12 but they would meet me half way at £6)
I said I wanted to make a formal complaint and a full refund for the missing item would suffice, apparently the manager was away, chased up today and they said there was no need for the manager to contact me… what a way to run a business. To top it off order finally arrived and 1 of the items was damaged and would have been easily visible before being packed and sent.
They really should make it clear that not all items on their website are actually in stock even if it says they are.
As many others have stated the same problem as me, don’t hold much faith the internal investigation they have done to make sure it doesn’t happen again will work.

Great customer service

Had a small issue with an order, emailed about the problem and got a response quickly offering to exchange the items in question. Got an update when the items I posted back had arrived and the replacements were sent out the same day.

SUCH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE

SUCH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE

Company sent me faulty product , instead of arguing that we had tried the stirrups ( they had accidentally sent display ones which was the fault issue as the safety mechanism had been demonstrated repeatedly ) I was offered immediate replacement , no argument just paid postage to return and they sent them straight out with proof of postage so I had them for PC camp .
Been using HVS for years but this was really great service- this busy mum appreciated the help resolving this so easily !

Shocking

Please avoid using this company for online orders, they do not listen when you tell them you need a certain delivery date as nobody would be available.

I was expecting a pair of boots to be delivered tomorrow as no one home to accept them, they were sent today I had to rapidly find out if my brother was home and change the address . Even after having confirmation of address change the parcel was delivered to wrong address .

Bare in mind I have my job to do.

I called DPD that was a total waste of time, called hope valley spoke to a girl called Grace the girl I spoke to about the order and delivery date on Monday . Grace decided it was my fault she put the delivery date of Thursday and why they came today. I asked for a refund so I can go and get a pair of boots after work it was refused, I was told they would contact DPD and get the parcel re delivered.

Problem here like I had explained to Grace on the original call I needed to boots for the weekend. Grace totally blanked me like she put me on mute,I was talking and she had what seem liked walked away from the phone.

I was then put through to her colleuge that was as helpful as a wet tea -towle she came across rude and because I point out the rudeness of her and Grace she told me she was hanging up . I rang back as I need to know what is happening with my refund and they will not pick up the phone.

Apparently no one in the store can deal with refunds as Judy the manger and Owner is away, so what I would say is be careful because if you end up needing a refund you could be waiting sometime.

If this dose not get resolved I will be speaking with trading standards , and no it's not as easy as just getting them from the address they have been delivered too .

I will never use Hope Valley again just shocking , Judy if you are reading this please contact me ASAP

Good Afternoon,

I do apologise that you are disappointed with your experience.

DPD delivered your parcel to a neighbour, as was requested on your DPD tracking. DPD do advise that they will deliver to a neighbour if there is no answer.

As has been explained, Grace put you on hold as she asked advice from her colleague on if there was anything else she could do to help you in this, I can only apologise if this came across as rude, that was not the intention at all.

The reason that the phone was hung up was that staff members were being insulted down the phone, whilst I appreciate that this is a frustrating situation, we did not choose to deliver this to that specific neighbour, and nobody has done this deliberately. We do request that all staff members are treated with respect over email and on the phone.

You have now retrieved the parcel, and we have sent over instructions on how to return this free of charge to us and we will issue a full refund once the item is in the post.

Kind Regards
HVS
