Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service from Edward Williams, Business Development Manager, responding to a product issue. Very pleasant, quick and full resolution. Things don't always go right, and a company's values can be well judged by their response. Thank you; will be a returning customer.

Thank you James

Absolutely amazing customer service. I ordered some plant pots but the product was faulty. I emailed customer service about a refund and sent a photo as proof. They refunded me straight away, apologised and said not to send the plant pots back. I huge shout out to James Blewett for his help!

We recently had a small issue

We recently had a small issue, with some faulty wine glasses. Without having to return the products, we just sent a few pics, the problem was resolved in a few days, with replacement glasses sent. Thank you James and the team. Will definitely be using Red Candy again. Excellent customer service

Super fast delivery to EU

I fell in love with Hamish and despite Brexit and custom formalities and paymentsI received him within 3 days after ordering...neatly packed and in great condition. Throughout the whole process I was kept up to date by tracking information.
Hamish himself is great quality...I'm totally enthusiastic about him.

Amazing customer service

I purchased a joseph joseph recycling bin unit around 2 years ago from red candy, as they were by far the cheapest place to buy one from. The lid recently stopped working, although I've been really happy with the beautiful bin. I contacted red candy who replied immediately. Within hours they arranged for a replacement lid, which then ended up being a whole new replacement bin from Joseph joseph, due to stock issues with lids. Edward from red candy was so helpful,and kept me informed throughout. Within a couple of days from my initial email, I had a brand new bin delivered for free. I will definitely use red candy again, very happy customer. Thanks again 😍

Fantastic service. Ordered Winston, who was out of stock. I was given an expected arrival date and he turned up the day before. Excellent product. Trying to stop the wife buying another 😁

Paid £20 for the fastest delivery on an order placed early morning. Finally get the dispatch email after 10pm the next day. The DPD email says it’s been sent on 2 day service. Don’t bother paying for faster delivery, all the “if order received before 1pm” stuff must be a load of crap and any premium you pay for delivery is just more profit for them.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and let us know about this issue.

Firstly, I’m very sorry that you’ve still not received this order. I have raised this issue with our dispatch team, who will be following this up with DPD.

I can see from your order that you chose Saturday Delivery, which although is the most expensive service, it varies slightly to express delivery as this service is intended for delivery on a Saturday rather than soonest possible date. We include more information about this in our delivery and returns page on the site: https://www.redcandy.co.uk/delivery-and-returns

Our warehouse team hold all Saturday Delivery orders until Friday when the specialist pickup occurs, so that is why you received the tracking email the next working day. Regardless, the parcel should have definitely arrived with you by now, so we sincerely apologise are raising a claim with the courier.

The tracking shows that this order should be with you tomorrow, but if you do not receive it, please let me know and we can look at getting a replacement sent out. We have also fully refunded you for the shipping on this order, so you will see these funds return back onto your original form of payment.

Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused!

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Placed an order 2 weeks ago and have received no update since. Called them today and was told 3 of the 4 items were out of stock. I advised it would be better customer service if they had contacted me about this rather than waiting for me to call them. The girl I spoke to said that they're showing as out of stock on the website so I would have known this when I ordered. An absolutely ridiculous statement as they weren't out of stock 2 weeks ago when the order was placed. Staff answering customer calls should be 100% sure that any statements they make to customers are correct. Very unhappy with the service.

Hi there! I'm terribly sorry to hear that you've had this negative experience with us. I have just sent a message across to you requesting more information regarding your details and order number, so that we can investigate this further and get this issue resolved ASAP. We're a small team of six and we've admittedly been struggling with capacity recently caused by both Brexit and the pandemic - stock ETA has been changing daily, so it's been difficult for us to keep all customers informed on changes, so your experience with us definitely wasn't up to the standards we hold ourselves to. We have been using a third party PA system to help out with some of the call overflow, so we will be investigating this to ensure that they aren't giving out incorrect information to our customers. We are currently looking to get extra staff in-house and are planning to move to a new customer service platform to help prevent this kind of issue from happening again in future. Our sincerest apologies regarding this experience and for any inconvenience caused!

Brilliant service!

Wow! Cant believe how quick these guys are. Ordered yesterday morning and my lamp arrived today! Delivery was free, so was expecting 4-5 days at best. Great item too. Really Impressed and will definitely use again!

Ordered an item next day delivery never got it

Ordered an item next day delivery. They put it on normal delivery. It then got stuck a Hermes depot for three weeks whilst nobody at Red Candy made any attempt to contact Hermes and get it delivered. Never did get the item. Order was eventually cancelled.
Rubbish service.

Hi there! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and we are terribly sorry that you've had this negative experience with us. Unfortunately, when we learned that your original order was not delivered within the requested timeframe, we were out of stock of this item and unable to issue a replacement. However, there were definitely gaps in communication on our part following up about the whereabouts of the original order and we sincerely apologise about this. We're a small team of six and we've admittedly been struggling with capacity recently caused by both Brexit and the pandemic, so your experience with us definitely wasn't up to the standards we hold ourselves to. We are currently looking to get extra staff in and are planning to move to a new customer service platform to help prevent this kind of issue from happening again in future. You have now been fully refunded for this order and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Terrible product received

I ordered a cat shaped lamp for £20, looked great on the photo but when it arrived, the state it was in was shocking. The wire that connects the battery pack was completely snapped off leaving the components of the lamp actually visible.

The item genuinely looked like something from poundland upon inspection, and absolutely not a £20 gift (It was an Xmas present for my mom)

I complained and got my money back, which there was no issues in doing so. The customer service was very polite actually.

Overall it was a disappointing experience and I won't be shopping here again as the product I purchased simply was overpriced junk

Hello! We are terribly sorry that you had this disappointing experience with us! The product you received was definitely faulty and we have since notified our supplier of this issue and have requested that they carry out more thorough product inspection before sending stock to our fulfilment centre. We are very sorry about this, but we appreciate you praising our customer service team! As a small team of six, every customer is extremely important to us and we always do what we can to ensure every query or issue is dealt with care. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused!

Sorry your xmas gift is lost, no more til January

Ordered a gift on 10th december. Waited 7 days as requested for delivery. On day 8 I contacted them to be told it must have been lost by Hermes, but they were out of stock so I couldnt have another til January. Emailed to say this wasnt acceptable as it was a xmas gift. Told I could have something else instead. Then told they were chasing it up with Hermes and trying to find another, then nothing. So i looked elsewhere and found the supplier had them in stock along with others. Red Candy had told me they would find another supplier and send it express delivery but clearly they didnt look or they'd have found one as easily as i did. Ordered elsewhere and it arrived next day with a reliable carrier. Red Candy use unreliable carriers and dont keep track of their orders. Once you've paid they dont seem interested, just make empty promises they dont follow up on. If you need it for a specific date I wouldn't bother getting it here. Yes they have good products, but you will find the products elsewhere. Managed to act on my refund request quickly, but only because i believe that was the option they wanted me to take in the beginning as they couldnt be bothered to fix the issue.

Hi there! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and we just wanted to take a moment and apologise again for the inconvenience caused by this issue! As we are a small company of six, we use a third-party fulfilment centre for our packing and dispatching. This company has contracts with Hermes as well as other couriers. Please know that we were equally as frustrated when we discovered that the original order was not scanned into Hermes' system properly upon collection from our warehouse and have fed this information back to our fulfilment centre. We are constantly looking to improve our systems and experiences for our customers, so we will be taking this experience into consideration when we come to renew our contracts. Unfortunately, due to long response times during the peak season (we are still chasing info on your original order), we knew we'd be unable to locate the original parcel in time for Christmas, and unfortunately when we received your initial email, we were out of stock of the Benton footstool and still waiting on ETAs from our suppliers, so we couldn't issue a replacement at the time. This is why we offered an alternative footstool. However, we totally understand that Benton was your #1 pick (of course he was, he's just UDDER-ly adorable), so we are glad that you were able receive an immediate refund and then source it from an alternative shop in time for Christmas. Again, we're terribly sorry that our stock levels prevented us from getting a replacement out to you and and we apologise that your first experience with Red Candy was less than ideal!

Awesome customer service

One of my packages got lost by the courier company and Red Candy could not have been more helpful. They kept me up to date and sent me out a replacement.

Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and helpful - really great customer service and my products are amazing

Great experience

Great experience. Recently purchased a gift that wasn’t in stock. I emailed to ask if it’s expected to be here in time for Christmas, they replied with the exact dates they have been shipped from the supplier to them. Very helpful and put my mind at rest! Thank you

Happiness is discovering red candyrobot

Happiness is discovering red candy. The choice of goods is fantastic. Add to this customer service of the the highest level and you have a company that is my first port of call. Yes occasionally you can find the goods slightly cheaper elsewhere but you know with Red Candy if there is any problem it is dealt with straight away and returns are free. So well worth paying, in some cases, a little extra . You also get a personalised response - they do read the mails - not an automated

I live in Denmark

I live in Denmark, but got my orders ( ordered twice) really quick. There were some technical problems ( not their fault ) but it was addressed imidially, so the customers service is really great. Can't wait to give one of the two items away as a Christmas present.
