Superb customer service

Superb customer service, and so friendly.
Highly recommend Danielle at The Happy Cross Stitcher for all your cross stitch needs. For this order, which I needed quickly as I had been let down by another company, she did everything possible to get the kit to me quickly and in time for my holiday!
Thank you.

Yarn purchase

I purchased some yarn from The Happy Cross Stitcher and it was beautiful yarn. Danielle was very helpful, and answered all of my questions re the yarn.
Will definitely use this site again, and recommend to friends

Very helpful and nice

Ordered 2 items however one was out of stock. The lady on the phone was very nice and kept me informed on when it came in and all items were sent and arrived fast as they could.

Kit out of stock but very helpful and good outcome

I ordered a kit for a birthday present. Unfortunately it was out of stock and delivery was delayed, so Danielle called to let me know. As it was a birthday present, she allowed me to choose a different kit that was in stock, wrapped it and sent it with a gift card directly to the recipient. Fantastic service, thank you!

Excellent Customer Service

I ordered a couple of cross stitch kits just after Christmas and one of them was out of stock so Danielle phoned me to see if I wanted the one which was in stock sent out or to wait until the other was in stock and they could both be sent out together - I opted for the latter option! I did have to wait a few weeks, but as I wasn't in a rush, so it didn't bother me. Today I received only one of the kits so I emailed Danielle to say that I'd ordered 2 - she promptly called me back and admitted her error. She was going to post the kit out today. I had a chat to her on the phone and she seems like a genuinely lovely person who is running a business aptly named.
We all make mistakes and we can always make room for improvement (nobody is perfect)! Despite these couple of blips in my experience, I'm more than happy to purchase from this business again.

Not happy with this place at all, the first and last purchase I will ever make from them!

I placed an order on 5th December and there was no mention on the webpage (or anywhere else on their website either) when I was placing the order, that this item was out of stock or this item is a special order.

A week had passed since we placed the order, and we had not received any further email from them (other than the order confirmation one) to say that there would be any delay. So I decided to email them to ask if my order had been dispatched. Credit where its due I got an email back a couple of hours later saying that:

"The item you ordered is a special order item and can take up to 14 days to arrive with me"

Why does the owner not show on their website which items are special order and therefore can take 14 days to arrive with them, and then from there get packed and posted out to the customer. And even more so at this time of year for Christmas. Most other transparent online shops with items showing available to purchase usually get dispatched maximum two days from placing the order, and arrive a couple of days after that. That was what I was expecting with this order with what I have mentioned above.

Another thing that infuriates me is the fact that I paid for the order at the time of purchase even though the item wasn't in stock and was a special order. I'm sorry but customers should not be charged for an item that is not in stock, and they should only be charged at the point where the order is getting packed and posted out to the customer. Businesses should ensure they have the adequate funds to run their business properly, instead of getting their customers to pay for it, while the business orders it from their suppliers!

I've dealt with many online shops, and I cannot remember any that either do not mention that the item is out of stock, or is a special order and that it can take x amount of days to arrive. It should not be my job to contact the seller after a week from ordering to query the whereabouts of my order, that should be the job of the seller to contact me and inform me that it is a special order and can take over 14 days to be delivered to me, and even more so if they cannot have a decent website which shows which items are special order and can take 14 days to arrive with them.

This will be the first and last order I will be placing with them, as I would rather deal with online shops that are more transparent and upfront with providing customers with clear and concise information as to which items are in stock.

WOW WOw Wow wow

I had specific requirements for material I needed. I submitted a query using the online contact form and despite it being a Sunday, Danielle replied promptly and by the end of the chat she offered to contact her suppliers to enquire specifically if what I was after was possible.

Hey presto a day or so later, Danielle called me to say she'd found what I was after ans had ordered it in for her. She called once th stock arrived and left a voicemail explaining my next steps.

A few days later, I placed my order online, it arrived the very next day.

THANK YOU Danielle for your amazing Customer Service

Excellent Customer Service

I ordered a cross stitch cushion cover and separate backing kit. After a week they telephoned to apologise for the delay and explained the supplier could not provide the backing kit I requested but they did have a suitable alternative. This all then arrived promptly including a cash refund as the alternative kit was cheaper than originally ordered. I just love the personal service which I know would not have been possible if dealing with a large retailer.

Fantastic customer service

I recently bought a kit from this lovely company and my puppy decided to eat a hank of threads! Danielle has been amazing in trying to track down the DMC numbers. I am pretty sure that any profit she may have made on the original kit disappeared quickly given the amount of time she gave to helping me. This is great customer service and I will definitely be ordering from The Happy Cross Stitcher again.

Ordered 2 skeins of thread.

Ordered 2 skeins of thread.
Thread itself is good but disgusted at p+p
It was placed in a scruffy small brown envelope with a first class stamp the thread wasn’t wrapped up and yet I was charged £2.95. It does state on website items will be posted 1st class but a first class stamp is 85p it wasn’t even a first class large letter at £1.29, you would expect a Jiffy bag and threads wrapped for that price, there should be a cheaper price for small orders! Won’t be using again
