Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 35 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant delays in receiving their orders, with some items arriving months after the promised delivery dates or not at all. Reviewers consistently experienced a lack of communication, as emails and phone calls often went unanswered, leaving them without updates on their purchases or resolutions for issues. People also encountered problems with products, including receiving incorrect models or broken items, and found it difficult to initiate returns or obtain refunds due to the unresponsiveness of the company. The delivery service was frequently criticized for being unreliable, with many customers noting that promised delivery times were not honored and that the company's website advertised misleading shipping speeds.

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.

It can take a while on certain items but to be expected

It’s difficult as with this stuff the lead times on stock is quite long, I have bought from other retailers of these kinds of products and it can take a while .. especially when the factory closes for summer!
Was difficult to get through to someone but there were valid reasons and When they were in touch they were extremely helpful
I look forward to receiving my item!
I would buy from them again

Great Customer Service

A couple of years ago, I purchased a couple of skull candle holders, when they arrived one of them had a small blemish, Panik said no problem, and they promptly changed it with no hassle, I’ve been buying from them ever since, great service, well done.

two-month-old Trouble with a lamp

If you're lucky enough to buy something they have in stock it's probably fine but if they have to order something for you it becomes a problem but for the buyer they keep extending the delivery time as if a standard lamp would be made especially for you. I do not recommend it, it's just trouble.

Panic…. Don’t panic, they can help…

I have used Panik for many years now and must say the service and quality of the products are excellent. The owner Paul is very very passionate about what he sells. He would not sell anything that is bad. I’ve also had the pleasure to meet Jilly who has handled many of my sales and the passion runs through to his team. If you see something you like. Don’t be afraid to ask. They are more than happy to help you.

Great Customer Service

I have dealt with Panik-Design over the last 10-12 years and have always received first class service. I recently purchased a Menu salt & pepper mill and was so delighted with it that I have now bought the same set for my son and daughter-in-law. Thanks for your great customer service.

Complaint rectified efficiently with apologies. I give ( stars for their helpfulness

Very disappointed. Ordered two George Jenson photo frames on June 3rd. Order no #PD4098 no sign of them. Finding it impossible to negotiate their website and find out what has happened. The frames were expensive.
Used Shop Pay. Their website is useless , it requires loading an app to track the package. Never had this problem before. Just want my purchase or a refund

Very poor customer service

I made an order over a month ago and still haven't received it. Have left messages on the phone and emailed and no response. I'd shop elsewhere in spite of the fact they have lovely items.
