Fast delivery – but beware, they pass the buck to their supplier. I ordered four Bouclé-style chairs, and one arrived defective (the backrest was visibly wonky). I paid via Klarna (30 days), so... See more

Delivery was fast BUT terrible customer service

Fast delivery – but beware, they pass the buck to their supplier. I ordered four Bouclé-style chairs, and one arrived defective (the backrest was visibly wonky). I paid via Klarna (30 days), so I flagged the return with Klarna immediately and sent AboutLiving photos of the defect.

It’s now been 12 days since I reported the issue, and they still haven’t arranged a collection. Every reply blames their supplier, saying they are responsible for pickup.

Under UK consumer law, the retailer is responsible for handling returns and failure to collect an agreed return within a reasonable time (typically 14 days) is a breach of contract.

If this isn’t resolved soon, I’ll be reporting them to Trading Standards.

Prompt dispatch times

Ive ordered from this company several times now, and every time my parcels have been dispatched very promptly, and arrived wrapped in tissue paper and in great condition ..
I would not hesitate in ordering from them in the future

Do not order from this company, terrible customer service

We ordered a book as a Christmas present which came wrapped in plastic as some books do but the book was not what we expected and sent it back to About Living. They refused a refund as the book wasn't in the plastic and claimed it was damaged which we did not do. They also said they would not send the book back to us unless we paid for the postage, nor would they offer us a credit note for the store. The book was £100 from Assouline so not cheap at all and it makes the whole experience even more disappointing given it was a gift. The customer service was absolutely terrible and we would strongly advise not to order or buy anything from this company as if there is an issue they will not help you resolve it. They are now not responding to any of our emails and have the book we purchased in their possession

Excellent service

Excellent service
Quick dispatch and packed with great care.
Would definitely recommend and will buy from the company again no hesitation.
I love that they don't overload you with follow up emails too as some companies tend to do which is off putting.
Their website is lovely and they have so many interesting and lovely items.
Definitely recommended as an online retailer you can trust to fulfil your order in a prompt and efficient manner.

Great customer service and products. …

Great customer service when asking questions about their ranges. High quality products, well packaged and brilliant designs. Have purchased several items now for my own home as well as gifts for friends and family and have always been well received. It’s my go-to shop when I need to get something thoughtful and special for someone. Would always recommend to my friends too.

Great company!

I have ordered several times from About Living now and each time the service is flawless. The deliveries are always well packed & arrive quickly. On one occasion I had put the wrong shipping address by accident so contacted their customer service via email and had a very quick response to get it corrected. I’ll definitely use this company again ☺️

Happy client

The cutlery set I ordered was cancelled by another company and so I came across the same set with About Living. Great price and communication was good (age checks done due to knives in set). The piece arrived as promised today and is in great condition. Happy client 😊 Thanks Laura and team!

Excellent customer service, highly recommended

Very happy with About Living's customer service and attention to detail. Also, delighted with my Malini cushions - thanks to staff at both Newton Mearns shop and East Kilbride office for facilitating my order. Highly recommended!
