Top service

The customer service at Laura James is just excellent. Special thanks to Erica and Caleb for helping sort an issue.
I have bought two items from this company now and will definitely purchase again.

Do not buy from this store

Do not buy from this store. Ordered a carpet on July 19, until now havent received my order. 3 times emailed them they only respond by apologizing and saying because they moved to a new warehouse but no clear solution of the issue. They've just kept moving delivery date. Very poor customer service. Beware!!!!!

Wont refund my cancelled order!

I ordered a desk and a chair from Laura James. When they didnt arrive between the estimated delivery dates given I made contact with the company, only to be told that the items arent in stock and it would be another 4 to 6 weeks before I would receive them.
I cancelled my order mid august and am yet to receive a refund. Having to chase up with emails daily and still no joy.
Stay away from this company.

Beautiful furniture but delayed

There was a delay in the furniture being sent out (around 3-4weeks later than stated on the website), but the customer service had timely responses back when I sent queries. The furniture itself is beautiful, and there were no problems with the delivery that was arranged. The website time frames given weren’t helpful and this can make you feel mistrusting but I am happy that we kept our order and there have been a lot of positive comments on the furniture.

Amazing Customer Service!

I bought a bed in 2020 from this company and had some issues after moving ( losing some parts). Regina went above and beyond trying to get me the parts unfortunately we weren’t able to get them but she called me to explain how to get new ones at hardware stores and were so apologetic for not being able to supply the bolts. Considering the bed is 6 years old and is just as good as it was when it was purchased shows how good value their products truly are

rubbish customer service and delivery.

The product is brilliant, great quality. But delivery has been a nightmare. originally told at checkout it would be three days has now turned into 8 weeks. Excuse is they have moved warehouse (halfway through the season) and having issues booking delivery. Issue is good weather will be gone by the time the furniture arrives. Have been promised twice, it will be here in two weeks. Lies lies lies. Avoid unless you want to actually get in time for summer 27.

Ticket number #719008

I spoke to an assistant two days ago who only continued to tell me there was issues at the warehouse no updates time line. I was promised a call from a manager, still no call back………

another three days on, no reply to this chain, no call back from manager that was promised a week ago

Good morning, Scott,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you have had. We completely understand your frustration, particularly as the delivery times originally shown when placing your orders have extended significantly and you are still awaiting several outstanding items.

We appreciate that you purchased these items to enjoy during the summer months and understand why the continued delays, revised timelines, and lack of updates have been so disappointing. We also recognise that you have been promised updates and management contact on multiple occasions, and we are sorry that this has not happened as expected.

Having reviewed your case, we can confirm that:

Your sofa was delivered previously.
The missing coffee/side table remains outstanding.
The dining table remains awaiting dispatch.
The two dining chairs remain outstanding.
Your case has been escalated to management for review.
A refund of your delivery charges has been requested.
A £40 Laura James voucher has been approved as a goodwill gesture.

We fully appreciate that the delays caused by our warehouse relocation have had a significant impact on your experience and that this explanation does not change the inconvenience you have experienced. We also understand your disappointment that the outstanding furniture has not been available for the season you intended to use it.

Our management team has been asked to make contact with you directly to discuss your order, your outstanding items, the delivery refund, and the goodwill options available. We can also see that further attempts were made to contact you recently, and we will continue trying to reach you to discuss a resolution.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delays, poor communication, and frustration caused. We genuinely value your previous custom and regret that this experience has not reflected the service standards we aim to provide.

Kind regards
Milissa Jansen

Delivery date promised but delayed…

Delivery date promised but delayed without any notification. Apparently they are moving warehouses which is not acceptable. If that is the case do not promise customers with delivery date and take payment, then delay the delivery date without notifying the customer. Very disappointed and will not be ordering again

AWFUL experience with Laura James

AWFUL experience with Laura James - avoid this company at all costs. I placed an order for a bed on 25th June. The bed was in stock and due to be delivered the first week of July. The bed never arrived and after many attempts I finally got in contact with a customer service assistant who advised that they were missing a part of the bed and the new delivery date would be the start of August. It is now September 3rd and I still have not received my bed nor any correspondence with customer service to update me. I did receive a notification on 28th August to say that a courier would be in touch with an update within 24-48 hours , however I have not received any correspondence. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and use this company. I didn’t do enough research before ordering and have since heard multiple stories of customers who have had similar issues.

Very disappointed – delivery promises don’t seem to mean much.

I had high hopes for this company based on the reviews, but unfortunately my experience has been pretty disappointing.

I ordered furniture on 14th August and was initially given an estimated delivery date of 19th–21st August. Great, all looking good.

Then, without any communication from the company, this changed to 21st–25th August. I only discovered this by checking the tracking myself on 20th August because, well… I still hadn’t been given a delivery date. Not ideal, but I thought, okay, a few extra days.

Then on 27th August, I received an email saying the delivery window had now moved again, this time to 3rd–14th September.

At this point, I’m starting to wonder if my furniture is actually being delivered by carrier pigeon!

What makes this particularly frustrating is that today, the exact items I ordered are showing on their website as “in stock”, with a delivery estimate of 7th–9th September if ordered today.

So, to recap: someone ordering these items today apparently gets them delivered before someone who ordered them three weeks ago.

Meanwhile, customer service responds that my order “remains active”. Well… you have my money and I don’t have my furniture, so I certainly hope the order is still active!

I completely understand that furniture deliveries can be delayed, and I appreciate that some things may be outside of the company’s control. What I don’t understand is repeatedly moving delivery dates, providing very little communication, and then advertising the same products as in stock with an earlier delivery date to new customers.

The company’s own website is currently setting expectations that they simply aren’t meeting for existing customers.

I’m now three weeks on from placing my order, with no confirmed delivery date and very little confidence that the latest estimate will actually be met.

It’s incredibly disappointing, particularly from a company whose reviews gave me confidence in the first place.

Good morning Rebecca,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback.

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you have had with your order. We completely understand your frustration, particularly given that the estimated delivery dates have changed multiple times since you placed your order on 14 August.

We appreciate that delays can happen from time to time, but we recognise that the lack of a confirmed dispatch date, combined with changing delivery estimates and the information displayed on our website, has understandably caused concern and damaged your confidence in us.

Following our recent conversation, I carried out a further review of your order and was able to locate stock for your chairs within an alternative warehouse. To help minimise any further delay, your order has now been reallocated and split into separate shipments, allowing the table and chairs to be dispatched independently rather than waiting for the entire order to be fulfilled together.

While I appreciate this does not change the delay you have already experienced, it was done specifically to help get your furniture to you as quickly as possible. Tracking information will be issued as soon as each shipment has been dispatched, and the relevant courier will contact you directly to arrange delivery where required.

I also understand your concerns regarding the delivery estimates shown online. Website delivery dates are based on current stock and allocation information at the time of ordering, whereas existing orders can occasionally be affected by stock allocation and warehouse processing issues. However, I appreciate how frustrating and contradictory this appeared from your perspective, particularly when you were still awaiting dispatch.

We are genuinely sorry for the disappointment caused and acknowledge that our communication should have been better throughout this process. Please be assured that we are continuing to monitor your order and will provide tracking information as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience, and once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards

Do not use this company

Do not use this company. I ordered a dining table and 6 chairs on 5th May 2026, the dining table arrived fine with no issues- however the chairs arrived with black legs when I’d ordered mango wood legs. I reached out to Laura James and they assured me the mango wood legs would be sent. I received 2 sets of mango wood legs a few weeks later, 2 sets for 2 chairs when I had 6 chairs with the wrong legs! I reached out again and was told there was confusion but now there was no mango wood legs in stock and I’d receive them in July. July comes, I didn’t receive them. I called them AGAIN to be told I’d receive the legs in August, August comes around I get a text message saying I will receive the legs in October. I called them AGAIN to be told on the phone they didn’t know what I was talking about and I should still be getting them, then they checked my notes and seen it now did in fact say October. I was given a £50 voucher as a gesture of good will, £50 when I’ve spent over £1100 on a table and chairs 6 months ago and still don’t have what I ordered! And to top it off, I got an email 2 days ago stating I now won’t be receiving the chair legs until NOVEMBER! Absolute utter joke of a company. Never again.

The desk was beautiful

The desk was beautiful, just like the picture. It looks expensive, perfect measurements too. Not difficult to assemble. I also received great customer support from the team when I had a question. Delivered by the trusted DHL. This gave me confidence in the purchase that I was making.

Very easy ordering process

Very easy ordering process. Unfortunately the furniture wasn’t right for my room. The return process was straightforward and Chrisharna kept communication going right up until I received my refund. Very good all round service. Delivery men were professional too. Thanks to all concerned.
