I quite like their stuff, but only ever buy if it’s reduced. What really let’s them down is poor quality of stitching. I’ve just bought 3 prs of shorts, all of which have very poor sewing machine work... See more

Order not received after 14 days

I placed my order on the 21st February and today 6th March I still haven't received my order. I contacted Bench via email and I told them that Evri had apparently attempted to deliver me once then I received 2 parcels from Evri on 2 separate occasions but I still haven't received my parcel. On Evri site it says that the parcel is on the way back to sender. I cannot contact Evri to ask them to leave it a collection point and Bench doesn't seem to do anything about it. I asked Bench to send it to a collection point because it seems that on this occasion Evri failed to follow their own policy of attempting to deliver on 3 occasions. I haven't been updated regarding my order and they didn't offer any solution. It is unacceptable to be treated like that! I received and email asking me to give feedback about the items but I haven't received them so I wouldn't know. I will soon contact the ombudsman and escalate the issue. The situation is unacceptable and the only way of communicating with Bench is via email and as I mentioned I cannot contact Evri. I do not trust Bench. Update: today, 27th March, I contacted them again because they didn't get in touch with me and they told me that my order has been damaged in transit and they will refund me. I find their trading standards very low. It is not acceptable to wait for an order for over a month and only when you enquire about it to get a refund ( it's been 34 days). It is not fair because the items were presents for my daughter and my family and it makes me look like a liar after I told them that I bought hoodies for them! At a certain point I worried that I have been scammed because there was this lack of response from them!

Disappointing

Disappointing. I buy brands such as Adidas & Nike and XL tee & polo shirts fit me great. Other brands made in far east tend to be smaller, so I purchased XXL Bench tee shirts, a little concerned they may be too big, however, they are smaller than the XL from the other brands. In fact, even though I am an official XL, the Bench XXL are too tight on me and are definitely not a typical XXL size. They are a small XL size. So once again, no quality assurance concerning what size XXL should be.

Buy with caution!

Shambolic

I order a product with express delivery. It failed to arrive. I emailed customer support several times requesting a cancellation, nothing.

I then received an email telling me my product was on it's way (despite me now being out of the country). When I emailed again explaining I had requested (several times) for the order to be cancelled, it was told its too late...oh and I can't have the express postage refunded either.....
Never shopping here again.

great experience

Nearly 5 stars due to only finding out that there was an out of stock when delivered and already being refunded, loss of one star due to lack of communication.
