Just had an owner’s course for my new Bernina. Janet was so helpful with lots of good advice. Small number of attendees meant lots of individual attention when needed. And as always the Barnyarns crew... See more

Great customer service

After purchasing a beautiful Pfaff Sewing Machine from the website, I received a phone call within a day or two.

Letting me know when it would arrive, that the extension table would be sent separately when they had replenished their stock and to let them know if I had any questions.

I was very impressed that they took the time to call me and have enjoyed shopping again and again from Barnyarns.

They have an excellent stock of quality items and there is always someone to help when needed.

Great service and support

Ordered a lot of Madera threads as a surprise for my wife. Called initially to confirm suitability for her machine and ordered. DPD next day delivery was cancelled but one telephone call to Ellie sorted the problem quickly, efficiently and I am sure she had a smile as well. It is so good to deal with a company with such great customer support. Most companies run support as a necessary evil but Ellie was superb. Keep up this great service, it is much appreciated.

I ordered from them on eBay at the start of December. The tracking number was untraceable in the Royal Mail website and supposedly the package arrived 1 month after the despatch however not at my address as I received nothing. Neither eBay nor PayPal refunded me for the purchase I never received. Awful customer service. Be warned as they never responded to my emails on eBay asking where the item is. Unluckily for me eBay took their side despite many similar reviews of customers not receiving their package.

Good Morning Doris, We are so sorry to hear about your experience with us on eBay. A tracking number with Royal Mail is automatically generated on dispatch of your parcel. On a standard delivery service - the parcel is only scanned once it leaves our building & arrives with you, hence why you are unable to access 'tracking' during its transit. Please get in touch with us via support@barnyarns.co.uk and we can look into this for you straight away.

Recent poor service

I have used Barnyarns over the years without problems. It is disappointing that recently they have ignored emails and contacts over a poor quality item they supplied. I won’t be using them again

Steer clear of Barnyarns- nothing arrived

I ordered from them on eBay - no tracking- nothing arrived- ignore emails- pathetic excuses like'its been left with a neighbour, returned to the post office, left in a safe place or just LOST in the post.
Rude uncommunicative and I would suggest never even posted. Had a refund
