Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 319 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. However, many customers express significant dissatisfaction with orders, frequently receiving incorrect or missing items, and report poor product quality, including clothing pilling quickly or having inaccurate descriptions and inconsistent sizing. Reviewers consistently highlight appalling and difficult-to-reach customer service, alongside major concerns about delivery delays, missing packages, and unfulfilled next-day promises. Conversely, opinions on the payment process are mixed. While some people find making payments quick and easy, appreciating features like friendly reminders and flexible options, others felt dissatisfied with difficulties making payments, unexpected credit checks, or slow refund processing times.

What can I say? APPALLING

What can I say?
Don't bother ringing customer services - you get cut off after waiting 20 minutes.
Want next day delivery and pay the extra? If you are lucky you'll get your parcel the following week. Unlucky? Never get it and then have to fight over email to get a refund. That takes weeks
Paid 24 hours delivery and it didn't come in the contracted time? Well they just give you a promo code and won't refund you the amount in the original transaction which is countering the consumer act 2015.
No integrity, no interest in customer services and no interest apologies.

Hi Elspeth,

I apologise for the negative experience you've had with our customer service and delivery promises.

Long wait times, delivery delays, and issues with refunds are not reflective of the standards we strive to maintain. Your frustration regarding next-day delivery and the handling of refunds is understandable.

So I can look further into this for you, I have asked for some additional information, please do confirm your full name, full address, account number, mobile number.

I do hope to hear from you soon to look at getting your query resolved.

I hope you have a lovely rest of your day.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Abigail - Simply Be Team :)

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service. My parcel is lost in transit but marked as delivered on my account. I have been trying to speak to someone for over 2 weeks….impossible because they just stick you on hold and ignore messages. Now have £185 outstanding on my account for items i havent received and evri have admitted are lost in transit! AVOID unless you want unnecessary stress put on you!

Poor Quality item received

Poor Quality item received. The Clothes description was inaccurate.
Although I contacted customer service and they agreed to refund the postage fee.
I returned the item within an hour of receipt by courier. It was received in the warehouse within a matter of days, however the Refund process is so slow. I've been waiting 2 wks. I will not order again for this reason.

Zero Customer Service

Ordered a pair of boots, never arrived at the Parcelshop. Tried to inform Simply Be. Live chat - 1077 people in front of me in the queue?! Rang them and the recorded message says to use Facebook to message Customer Services, 3 days later no reply! Tried ringing again, on hold indefinitely! What an absolute shambles, will never use them again

Good delivery subscription

Simply Be Unlimited gives you 12 months of unlimited free delivery, nominated day delivery or click & collect delivery for one £10.99.

They use Evri as a courier and luckily we have a great courier in our area so deliveries are 99% on time

The website is easy to navigate and good choice of clothes. The products though should have more than one picture. If the model is promoting a black top, make sure they have a different colour bottom on. Websites should show the product tucked out so us curvy ladies can see where it covers

All in all very pleased with past purchases and quality of clothes and shoes.

Once again shame no photos can be uploaded

What is going on with Simply Be?

What is going on with Simply Be? I usually have no problems but this time have received extremely poor customer service with no responses to my communications both via their online form or via email.
I am waiting for £100+ worth of refund and not heard anything, no updates nothing since 4th November!
I can't afford my credit card to start charging me interest!
I will have to consider shopping elsewhere!

Woeful

Mysteriously my review posted last week seems to have gone missing - I wonder why...... I was looking for it so that I could update it with Part Two so instead I've put both Part One and Part Two in the same review. I do hope others find this helpful.
Part One: I’m absolutely shocked by the customer service I’ve experienced with SimplyBe. I ordered two items and only one was delivered, with no notification whatsoever about why the second item wasn’t sent. When I checked my account, I was redirected to a generic page claiming my order was cancelled due to a “credit check” and refusal of a “Pay SimplyBe” account — even though I never applied for credit and paid in full by credit card, which has already been charged.
Trying to return the item that DID arrive has been a nightmare. The returns portal repeatedly failed. I spent 45 minutes on the online chat, getting passed between multiple agents, and just as one finally claimed they would arrange an Evri return, the chat crashed with no confirmation. Calling customer service took several attempts just to reach a person, only to be told their system had “crashed” too.
What’s even more frustrating is that when I finally got through to someone, they confirmed that:
I had never requested a SimplyBe credit account
No credit check had been refused
The real reason the item wasn’t delivered was because it was out of stock
Nobody could explain why I wasn’t informed of the cancellation
In the end, I managed to create the return myself — using the exact same details as before — clearly showing nothing had been set up by the chat agent as claimed.
I’ve now wasted over 90 minutes dealing with issues that should have been straightforward, and I’ve completely lost confidence in SimplyBe and its associated companies. I won’t be ordering again.
Part Two:
And it's now even more incredulous.
For four days, SimplyBe kept sending a courier to collect an item that I'd already sent back. I had to contact the courier directly to tell them not to bother.
Additionally, ten days after I placed the next day delivery order, and 9 days after the claim that my order was cancelled because I'm a credit risk - which we've established I'm not - I receive a letter from SimplyBe advising that one of the items is out of stock. A letter. That's bonkers. I've had an email from SimplyBe confirming the order and an email advising it's on its way. Since 15 November I've had nothing, no explanation for the missing item in the order or why I've been accused of being a credit risk. Yet someone at the company, in their infinite wisdom thinks the right thing to do is send a letter. This letter was (allegedly) dated the day the item was supposed to be delivered. Here's a thought - how about communicating by email, like all the other communications about this order? Why print a generic letter, not bother signing it, put it in an envelope and post it (thereby also leaving it to the mercy of Royal Mail)? I'm so glad I've made the decision never to deal with this company or any of its associated companies ever again.

A parcel that was due to be delivered…

Acc Number: S7321115 A parcel that was due to be delivered by EVRI to an ASDA petrol station was delayed by a week then was
lost. EVRI have said they will liase with retailer and advised me to inform Simply Be of the situation as it is up to them to decide to give me a refund. So I have no parcel and no help from Customer Services. I would advise anyone NOT to use them I certainly will avoid!!!

Truly shocking customer service

Truly shocking customer service. I bought a pair of shoes that became faulty after barely any use, and Simply Be has made getting a refund an absolute nightmare. I’ve emailed FOUR times, sent all the photos and details they requested, and not one person has bothered to reply. I’ve also phoned FOUR times and got nowhere. When I tried the online chat, I was 94th in the queue — completely unacceptable.

There is absolutely no reason a customer should have to chase this hard, especially for a clearly faulty item covered under the Consumer Rights Act. I’m appalled at how badly this has been handled. This is by far the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, and I will not be ordering from Simply Be again. I strongly advise others to think twice before buying from them.

I wish I could have given 0.

I wish I could have given 0.
After being a long term customer with Simply Be, never had any issues, never made late payment or missed a payment.
I placed an order recently and had it immediately cancelled, my credit removed and was told no further orders would be accepted.
I have been trying for days to get an answer and it is like secret service I keep getting told it's been escalated, but never a response. I have been given dates when I would get a response but these just pass.
Appalling Customer Service.

Account NumberZ3560497
I have sent my details and I wait for response.
I have made a complaint using the email address provided and although you are promised a reply within 24 hours so far 4 days later - nothing.
I was told this issue was due to my credit rating on more than one occasion which has been proven not true. After a week my account opened back up and I received a message about something on the order I had cancelled had been subject to fraud, no explanation really, no apology, no acknowledgement that I had been accused of poor credit rating.
Overall extremely poor experience that has caused anxiety.

APPALLING customer service. Please shut this disgusting company down.

APPALLING customer service. This company needs shutting down. They are just robbing, greedy and corrupt. They like to set people up to get in debt and make out peoples are liars 🙃 I went from £200 in the catalogue, to over £1000 to a debt agency after they would not help me because they decided to change my payment dates on they’re own accord 😅😅 as well as not allowing me to set up direct debit. What a joke of a company, I really hope they go into liquidation and burn.
