Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 35 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently report a complete lack of communication, with emails, phone calls, and voicemails often going unanswered, making it impossible to get updates or resolve issues. Many people experienced significant delays in receiving their orders, or never received them at all, despite initial promises. Some customers also received incorrect products or found items were out of stock, and their attempts to obtain refunds or replacements were often met with silence. This consistent pattern of unresponsiveness and unfulfilled orders left many feeling ignored and regretting their purchases.

This company said a George Jensen kettle was in stock with delivery in 2 weeks and it arrived 2 months and 1 week later after repeated chasing. Emails took quite a while to answer.

Dreadful experience ordered a product…

Dreadful experience ordered a product over four weeks ago, still haven’t received it with no definitive date of delivery.

Extremely slow and poor communication, as a customer I have had to do all the chasing.

I would recommend not using this retailer!

Do not be fooled by the sleek website and premium products on sale. Ordered an item at start of Jan and still have not received. Emails and telephone calls went unanswered and in the end had to claim money back through PayPal. Scammers!

Sadly I will never shop here again

Made an order in September and I have not received it or heard anything, it’s now December. My emails and phone calls to them have not been responded to. I wish I had read these reviews before I ordered.

AVOID!

AVOID. Made a purchase in July. Was told it would be a few weeks. Now November and there is no sign of my purchase and they are not answering emails or calls. Companies House website lists the business as active. An earlier purchase (in Feb '24) was fine, yet this time around, I have neither product nor refund. Would give 0 stars if I could.

No Good - do not order from them.

Ordered an item on 23/9 was told 3-5 weeks. No item delivered when I emailed they said another 2 weeks delay or I can have a refund. From the reviews I thought best to get my money back however since requesting a refund I have had no response and still no goods. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

Failed to deliver my order.

Ordered a vase on 12 July, delivery was quoted 5-7 business days. Still yet to receive the item and Panik are not responding to any of my attempts to contact them. Hugely disappointing, will continue to seek a refund.

Do not order from this company

Do not order from this company - you will not get your goods and you also risk losing your money. I did read the Truspilot reviews before placing my order but I really wanted the tables so gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered anyway. The tables had a lead time of 5-8 weeks. After 8 weeks I emailed for an update but got no response. I then sent an email asking to cancel the order and receive a refund - again no response. I am now waiting for a response through a paypal chargeback. Meanwhile I have lost the interest I could have earned on the money I gave to them, and now I have the hassle of fighting for a refund.

They have ignored multiple requests by phone and email. I am waiting for my delivery. I read on Trustpilot that other customers have the same experience! I am now doubting that I will ever receive my table. I just need them to tell me whats going on or not with this delivery?

Dear John,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Panik Design did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, as we strive to improve our services and ensure all our customers have a positive experience.

The lead time we had advertised on our website for this item was 3-5 weeks meaning your order was dispatched within this timeframe. When you spoke to my colleague yesterday over the telephone Paul was more than happy to accept your return and told you the relevant steps to take in order to start the returns process.

Our team is committed to providing excellent customer service, and we regret that you felt like we fell short in this instance.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust in Panik Design.

Kind regards,
The Panik Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you feel your experience with Panik Design was not satisfactory.

We always aim to provide the best possible service and value our customers' feedback greatly. However, we believe there may have been some misunderstanding regarding the situation you described. The item you ordered had a lead time of 3-5 weeks due to it needing to be ordered in from our supplier in Italy. Due to high levels of emails we aim to reply all customer service emails within 2-3 business days which our automated message states. We strive to ensure all our customers have a positive experience, and we take all reviews seriously.

We cant wait for your to receive your order and will keep you informed with any updates we receive!

Kind regards,
The Panik Team

That communication is very poor

Have purchased a vase from you online, and returned the item for refund. I have had no response from you, therefore have left numerous messages, sent emails etc, but still no reply. I just want to talk to someone?

We are big fans of Paul and Panik

We are big fans of Paul and Panik. We've been customers for the last few years and have bought some beautiful pieces for both indoors and outdoors. Paul's knowledge and enthusiasm is second to none so we're very happy to make a strong recommendation to others.
Our latest purchase is an outdoor furniture set (KARTELL BUBBLE CLUB) which is not only fun but looks great.

Panik Design new website, great range.

Having visited Paul at his showroom, have to say I loved all that he showed us- what brands and all the surprising, stylish furniture and lighting.
have to say his knowledge on everything he stocks is second to none.
New website is a great showcase.
Wish we could have bought more!

Huge choice, great service and new website

Huge choice, amazing brands and now a website that really does the stylish choice from Panik Design proper justice.

Our house is peppered with furniture and lighting that Paul helped us choose - all with great personal service and advice. Excellent delivery. The Panik pieces are always what guests ask and talk about.

Highly recommended.

Great customer experience

I recently purchased some lighting from Panik, it arrived promptly and was everything that I’d hoped for.
I found the staff to be very knowledgeable about their products and were able to match me with exactly what I needed.
Excellent and friendly customer service, I’m already looking forward to my next interaction with them…

The new updated website has been amazing - absolutely stunning way to showcase the beautiful pieces! Also having the pleasure to have met the wonderful owner, Paul really helped me with how I design my space and projects - thank you!
