Absolute disgrace of a company, but I see I'm not the only one. Goods arrived faulty and waited at home for the three collection days offered. Blamed DPD for not collecting!! requested a refund on 12.... See more

This is a good company

Ordered an SKK frying pan on 16th of December. Phoned them last week as it hadn’t arrived, and as I couldn’t get through the lady from Richmond Cookshop phoned me straight back and said that she would send another pan straight away. She was very helpful. This is not a large company and I agree with other reviewers that we should cut this company some slack.

Over the top reviews

Ordered a pan that is quite hard to get in the U.K. the price was really good and got a free gift which is always nice. Service was great when contact was made. People need to take into account this isn’t a large online shop so timings will be different to Amazon etc but if you have some patience and want good quality I couldn’t fault it.

Item was delayed so had to follow up via email. The woman was very kind and explained that they were waiting first on a delivery from a warehouse. Think this is just an older ‘mom and pop’ shop and they don’t have the capability or capacity to meet the demands of bigger retailers - let’s cut them a bit of slack!

Britain's worst online retailer?

Still no reply from them, no reply to e-mails, no answer to phone calls. There is a word for people who take money from you under false pretences. Next stop court action.

Avoid. Money taken No Product Sent or Response/Answers to Queries

Ordered an SSK frying pan for £77.50 on 5th November. Service was very quick, in that they took my money. I have heard nothing from them since. No replies to my varied methods to contact them. Their phone number appears disconnected. No activity/posts from them on their fb site after Jan 2020. Wish I hd checked trust pilot before I purchased. Now going through th Paypal resolution service. I do not think that Richmond Bookshop are trading anymore... avoid for now I'd say.

AVOID. THIS IS A SCAM

I bought a chef's knife from Richmond Cookshop. I was a little sceptical from the beginning because it was cheaper than anywhere else online. I placed the order, and then found all the negative reviews. I called Richmond Cookshop but the number is out of order. I emailed them but I've had no response. Luckily I paid via PayPal and they intervened and have refunded my money.

Good experience

Bought Alessi kettle, good price, as described.
Had to wait 2 weeks, was a bit worried, but at the end all good.

Excellent Service and follow up

Excellent Service and follow up. Totally trustworthy family business that went through a tricky period that can impact any small business owner. ( I called them as I had great service in the past and was shocked to see such bad reviews recently).
Thank you and wish you well.

I ordered a carving set and payment was taken, but I had no communication. I did become concerned when I read the Trust Pilot reviews, also when I found that there was no option of leaving a message when I telephoned. When they did respond, my order was dealt with by a very pleasant lady, who informed me my items were out of stock. I was regularly up-dated and my items duly arrived. Just surprised that payment was taken immediately, when the company knew that they did not have the item in stock. In total, I waited about 24 days to receive the item.

Really don't use

Really don't use, don't trust the positive reviews. We went to our bank who helped us recover our money via Mastercard. This works even if you use a debit card, so do battle through. They send the wrong pan, could not use as was not induction. did not reply to emails or calls, tried very hard. First call got through and got a sob story about mother, after that no contact.

Have used before so ordered some more alessi jars. Good price 2 came very quickly but 3rd took some time. Nice lady phoned to explain she had a relative unwell and apologised. Not a problem , they've been very good in the past and I'll use them again. Hope they get over this rough period.
