Very poor quality goods
Disgusting quality and when you want to return goods it’s at your expense to China I would advise not to buy if this site.

Buy Elsewhere. AVOID.
Without doubt the most arrogant, useless customer service experience I, and it appears many others, have had to endure. Just read the amount of terrible reviews. It is very easy to purchase the same products elsewhere. Do not buy from this company. No need to add anything else. AVOID.

Worst customer service
Worst customer service, website shows out of stock items, I paid for next day delivery and after waiting in found they had not shipped as promised. When I asked for my delivery fee to be refunded they only offered a discount code for my next order. After waiting a day for them to investigate and provide updated delivery eta I was then told they didn’t have stock. Now waiting 3-5 days to get my money back. Avoid

Shopamara-London.com. Scammers
I am referring to shopamara-London.com
Not even one star.
The Liliana dress I ordered is NOTHING like the one photographed or described. For a start, it isn’t yellow but a ghastly, and blotchy, shade of pink. The neckline and hem are crudely sewn in white thread, and it is made from cheap, thin polyester. The photograph would suggest the fabric is of a cotton blend, and there is no visible stitching round the neckline or hemline.
It is so awful I wouldn’t even dream of trying it on.
I have a feeling I have been scammed, but have no way of going about issuing a formal complaint. Judging by the number of complaints on Trustpilot this is a ‘company?’ that the BBC would do well to look into in their ‘Rip Off Britain’ or ‘You and Yours’ or any of their excellent scam programmes.
I am certain I will not get a refund, not probably any communication from them. I have wasted my money. Everyone else - BEWARE and do not buy from them.

Shein quality
Shein quality, material so thin and see through, sizing is off, way too overpriced for the shocking quality, bad zippers, overall DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS STORE!!! It is a scam and you’d be better off buying from shein for 5 bucks.

Poor quality items; Delay on refund not yet received t
I ordered 2 dresses from Amara London that arrived 01/04. The quality was dreadful and the fit appalling. Since this date I have tried to secure a refund but have been stonewalled at each step. There was a reluctance to agree to this with various offers of a partial refund up to 25% to keep the items. I paid c. £20 postage to return them 03/04/25 and since this date I have been advised customs is the reason a refund has still not been made. The amount due is c. £70. Based on my experience I strongly recommend not using Amara London.

AVOID PURCHASING FROM AMARA!!!
I placed an order worth £££ on 27/04/2025. On the same day I received an email letting me know that the order has been cancelled stating reasons given below in the email. There were no reasons given in the email! I have just spoken to customer services and they informed me initially that the item is lost in their warehouse! This sounds unbelievable! An item lost in their own warehouse? You do wonder how this could happen! After querying further with the customer services person I was talking to, she revealed that there is a stock issue with this item. So AMARA put on their website an item for sale which they do not have stock of. They make you purchase that item (parting with your money) and then they subsequently send you an email to let you know that the item is cancelled and you need to wait 10 days for your refund! This is daylight robbery!
If only I read the reviews before making this purchase. I had based my current purchase on my experience with Amara years ago when they were brilliant! What happened to them?!
To anyone out there reading this it is IMPOSSIBLE to get their customer service telephone number from their website. It was only after searching each option in the 'Contact us' tab that I finally got a telephone number. It is of course a deliberate action to hide their telephone number so that you cannot call them. For those of you who need it, it is 020 45380427.
They'll probably change it now that I have made this public!

Bought a luxury wool jacket which was polyester when it arrived extremely creased and poorly made.
I asked for a full refund and was told to send it back to China or accept 25 % refund.
False advertising and non of it my fault.
I did not receive the refund and was told there was an error in processing it.
No surprises there.

I ordered two robes for Amara at 82£ ea, one robe was sent. Amara insists they sent two robes even though I sent them a picture of the shipping label showing a weight of 1.5kg and the weight of one robe at 1.4 kg. They refuse to admit there was a shipping error and I am out 82£. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company. Avoid this company they will steal your money!!!!

Faulty product, terrible customer service – avoid
I ordered a pair of shoes from Amara London for £39.95 (on sale, previously listed £99!!). When they arrived, they were creased, marked, had a strong odour, and didn’t fit properly. Packaged in a plastic bag. I contacted customer service immediately to request a full refund.
Despite the product clearly being faulty and not as described, the company refused to cover return postage—insisting I ship them back to China at my own expense, which is completely against UK consumer law. They instead offered partial refunds (starting at 15%, later 25%) and ignored my legal right to a full refund.
To make things worse, the product page on their website advertises a “45-day money-back guarantee”, which they clearly don’t honour. Their entire refund process is designed to discourage returns and wear customers down.
After multiple emails and failed attempts to resolve this directly, I’ve now had to initiate a chargeback through my bank and report them to Trading Standards via Citizens Advice.
Would strongly advise others to avoid this company.

False advertising -
I bought a jacket that was advertised as a luxury wool jacket reduced from £124.95 to £49.95. When it arrived it was 95% polyester and 5% elastane and looked nothing like I had ordered.They have offered 25% refund or pay to send it back to China, which if it was my error I could understand, Total false advertising.

Quality is shockingly bad, and sizes are very small. Also clothes stunk of fish when they arrived! Be warned - if you want to make a return, it has to been sent to Asia and at your own cost, and down to you to prove agent in Asia has received it. Will never use this site again

Refused to honour my £20 voucher as they say it was issued B4 they acquired AMARA. Joking surely as no notice of them havING acquired AMARA or the effect that would have on gift vouchers, WAS EVER GIVEN. Also received broken glasses! Returned towel on 10 March via POST IT locker. Tracking shows Amara has the return. Yet 2nd April still waiting for refund despite emails and calls…not superb customer service agent seems to think their failure of a return system is my problem…told me staff took it out the locker and moved etc etc ….erm apologise and refund me wth. I have been forced to make an official complaint and will likely NEVER shop with Amara again as flannels acquisition of it has RUINED IT COMPLETELY.

Mix up with returning an item but it all got sorted
I returned a product that was not needed. Despite returning it in October, I realised that I had not been refunded in February when I received an email from Amara saying that they had just received the item and it was outside the returns window so I could not be refunded! I was fuming. The first person I spoke to was not at all helpful and it was a bit 'computer says no' but when I escalated my complaint I received five star service and an immediate solution. Melody, who dealt with his particular issue, was so polite and just really excellent in every way. So what started out as a one star experience was very quickly transformed into a five star experience. Thank you Melody for looking after me. x
