VERY POOR COMUNICATION AND SERVICE

I paid in full to a firm in Whitby, in January , then I got a message from a shop in Ashbourne saying thanks for the order it will be delivered to us on 04.04.25 and then posted out. I didn't expect any delay as this was not mentioned when ordered. This was a wedding ring and as I had ordered it well in advance ,I was annoyed but decided to wait til April. The date came and went no ring no correspondence. I contacted them and was told oh sorry it didn't arrive it will be another 2 weeks. 3 weeks later I contacted them again and said send me the ring or refund as this is not a service. I was told oh sorry its completely our fault no one has chased it up. I eventually received the ring 4 months,, yes 4 months after ordering and me contacting them 4 times . You would have thought after such a poor service an apology and discount would be offered but no nothing.

Hello Barry, I am sorry to hear you did not have a smooth experience with us. Your ring came direct from manufacturing and we appreciate you taking the time to highlight this experience.

5 month delivery time!

The item would be a 5* item, however the service has been very poor. I ordered a bracelet for a friends' birthday in Janauary, it was in a large size, which after looking at a number of sites I knew was in short supply. Hamonds were showing stock and accepted the order (and payment). It then appeared they were struggling to source and supply the item. It took 5 months for the item to be delivered. The only communication I received was when I contacted Hamonds for an update - I have to say they did always reply.

We received our package in a timely manner. Updates were supplied. We were very pleased with the products and presentation when we received our order. I have used this company a few times in the past and have always been happy with the service and products.

Still waiting for a refund!

Still waiting for a refund on an item that was sent to their returns team on the 16 May. Was advised that a refund can take up to 14 working days, which in this day and age is really not acceptable. Sent an email enquiring about the refund yesterday but no response yet.

I would be interested in understanding why it takes so long to process a refund! This is the slowest I have experienced anywhere for some time!

Product good

The Clogau ring was good, only issue was showing product in stock but then took 3 weeks to come. Called and was told that the last one in stock was substandard so they had to order another one

Slow slow slow to refund

I ordered a Georg Jensen bangle which was not suitable from W Hamond .I was advised on the phone to return the item to CW Sellers( the same company but at a different location)as the "refund would be issued more quickly".I followed this advice.I returned the item on May 9th 2025.It was registered as being received on May 12th,2025 .
I am still awaiting my refund.
Very poor customer service all round .
Other Yorkshire based jewellers such as Berry's Jewellers in Leeds offer an exemplary service in comparison to the sub standard service from W Hamond and C W Sellers.
Updated review in response to the Retailer's reply -
The refund was indeed issued on May 29th because I phoned W Hamond, to request this was issued immediately,this initiated the refund ...had I not taken this action I am sure I would still be waiting.Anyway it's now completed ,thankfully I do not have to interact with this jewellers again .

Hello Clare, I am sorry to hear that, your item was received back and processed by returns. Our team advised refunds can take 14 working days to show back and I can see this was processed by the 29th.

The site is easy accessible and I found the prices affordable. My item purchased is for a birthday present and I am very pleased with it. I do feel though that the photos do not always show its true size.

Hello Carol, thankyou for your review. We aim to have sizing details in all our descriptions but as a lot of pieces are handmade they can vary. Our team would be happy to measure stock piece for you.
