Slow delivery but lovely items

The order was slow to be dispatched (I ordered on 11th November and only received today). I didn't email customer service on a couple of occasions and they responded within a reasonable timeframe.

I didn't look at the reviews on Trustpilot until after I'd ordered and was expecting not to receive the items or for them to be damaged; however, I was pleasantly surprised. The items I ordered were in good condition and I really like them.

Only thing that could be improved is the speed of receiving the order.

Faulty lamp and no response

Faulty lamp and no later response to my email to exchange for one in good condition. Was told to pay to send it back… when it was their misdoing in the first place! Happy to take this review down if they can improve on their customer service, as right now I’d not recommend their company at all.

Reply from thewhitelighthouse.com

Thank you for making our day! So are we!! We value our products and want to see them go to good homes. Yours has to be toxic after seeing your 27 reviews about 25 are 1 star negative. A very sad and angry individual. Please get a life and stop bothering people. No one actually cares about your negativity. Truely laughable!!!! :)

RESPONSE: LOL again, we really don't care about trustpilot, we refuse to pay trustpilot for their "service" (currently about £700 a month i believe) as all those with "5*" do so, we are actually very happy with the low amount of negative reviews that we have considering that we have been selling online for about 20 years and with a massive volume of sales. There is also the factor that alot of the people that do leave a 1 star review are a little unhinged, not pointing any fingers but take that how you will. Imagine reviewing because you didn't get a response from an email which may or may not have actually been sent. Clarins is nicely hiding behind trustpilot anonymity. All in all still so happy none of our lovely pieces have ended up with you.

ALSO... remember that a "company" is people too. I think you may have become detached from humanity

Placed an order and received…

Placed an order and received acknowledgement. A week later still nothing from the company so emailed them. Didn’t receive email back so emailed them again, nothing emailed again , nothing. Phoned them as it states open 8am to 8pm no answer and wasn’t given the option to leave message. I then read the reviews on trust pilot! After reading these I contacted pay pal explained situation, I also email once again the supplier and mentioned I had contacted PayPal. Well would you believe it I got an answer that the product was leaving them on Monday. I went back and said ok I’ll take the product they then came back and said sorry PayPal have taken the money back and that they (supplier) won’t be supplying me any further orders!!! I wouldn’t want to order from them again,
It’s funny that as soon as I mentioned I had contacted pay pal they were answering my emails.

Like the majority of reviews

Like the majority of reviews, I ordered an item of furniture in July and it never arrived, despite four emails. I tried calling several times and no one picks up and you’re unable to leave a message. I can’t understand how or why this company is still in business. PayPal had to refund £299.

No communication from this company after i placed an order and the item didn't arrive. No response when I emailed them. Had to get a refund through PayPal.

This is a scam organisation who kept my money despite me returning their poor quality product. I tried to reach out over a period of 3 months but received no response. They owe me £42

Avoid at all costs

This company stated that they were indifferent to bad reviews so here goes. Ordered the Sag Harbour coffee table which arrived after a delay of over a month, due to shipping difficulties which we accepted however it was appallingly inadequately packed and as a consequence was badly damaged but not beyond repair. We were offered £60 as a reduction which was not acceptable. Increased to £100 but we still felt this to be inadequate. Unsatisfactory correspondence over it being collected for refund with the company refusing to offer anything other than DX collection with an 8am to 6pm collection window even though the issue was of their making. When we suggested that they might not like to receive a bad review we were told they were indifferent to bad reviews and furthermore were not prepared to offer a replacement coffee table. Judging by the other bad reviews on here a company to be avoided inspite of their very glossy Insta page.

AVOID !!

AVOID !!
If I could give less than one star then I would.
Ordered two items, both very substandard quality. Cheap 'made in china', no worth the box they arrived in. No customer service whatsoever! When I attempted to return the items they were sent back to me - at my expense. Royal Mail stated "undelivered business shut" The white light house company are now £350. better off! The biggest scam is the ONLY positive reviews are the ones that they have written on their own website. If only I had read the trust pilot reviews before I placed my orders. AVOID THIS COMPANY - AN ABSOLUTE SCAM!!

Atrocious Company - BEWARE

Everything is wrong with this company, I'm surprised they are still trading!!.... I've had a unfortunate experience with them (reviews left some time ago) .

I took them to small claims court where they lost the case and had to pay me back a small amount for the item & instructed to collect said item.

They paid back amount in coins eg 2pence' s & 5 pence' s in a bag like something from slot machine...... . Sad but probably trying to make a point.

They also collected the item which they broke into pieces in front of my home (caught on camera) ....which happy to share .

My experience was atrocious.. it was not a big purchase but I felt it was worth the bother for others to take note
I donated the coins to charity.

Good experience

While I had a delay in my order I thought having almost been put off by the other reviews I would write one. I had to contact customer services and they replied prompty, the issue was resolved instantly and the good arrived in 2 days. I am delighted with the unit.

No issues

I’ll be honest I was unsure about placing an order with this company after reading the reviews on here. I decided to risk it as the items looked great. I can’t fault them, I ordered 10 items and every single one were packed brilliantly, far better than many other home retailers I have previously purchased from.

They are thieves

This company is horrific they sent me a damaged chair had to pay for my own return to Ireland and organise it .. They offered me a 60 pound refund to keep it but it was unusable. They told me I would be refunded my return postage. I asked for a total refund so they have ignored me so now I have lost nearly £230 pound don’t use this shambles of a company it’s a disgrace

Couldn't be happier with my experience with this company. My goods arrived promptly and well packaged. Both the mirror and range of pottery that I ordered are both beautiful and excellent quality. A Very happy customer. Thank you.
