Great website, curated selection of products and fulfilment. They also stand by their products with after sales care, e.g. replacing faulty parts, etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great website to know you’re getting the best quality. Before I make (pretty much) any purchase online I go onto BuyMeOnce first. I don’t have the time to research, so this site narrows it down for me... See more

I'd been looking for a food processer that wouldn't break down after a few months and found one assessed by Buy Me Once. Very speedy service and lovely solid product that has so far lasted really well... See more

This is a great shop as everything they sell lasts for ever, hence the title “Buy Me Once” I wish they would sell more British made products.

A deeply disappointing experience with Buy Me Once.
I placed an order on 12 August, with the website clearly stating Free Standard Shipping (3–5 days). Based on that, I expected delivery by around 17–18 August. However, by 18 September—over a month later—I had received nothing and heard nothing. No updates, no communication.
I had to chase Buy Me Once myself, only to be told the item wouldn’t be available until mid-October. This was not communicated to me at any point—I only found out because I followed up multiple times.
To make matters worse, their reply included a chain of internal emails (presumably sent by mistake), which clearly showed that the delay was not due to a stock issue, as they had claimed. It was actually a system error that they failed to act on for weeks. The emails even showed that the supplier (Piglet in Bed) contacted them on 13 August—and had to chase them for a response.
The level of disorganisation and lack of transparency is unacceptable. There was no apology, no explanation, no goodwill gesture—just silence and poor communication.
I also strongly urge Buy Me Once to update their website to reflect accurate stock levels. Selling products that aren’t available—and failing to inform the customer—is misleading and deeply frustrating.
This experience has completely undermined my trust in the brand. I’ve previously supported Buy Me Once for their values, but this experience has shown a serious gap between the brand image and actual service.

50% success rate

My first order with Buy Me Once was shipped next day and delivered with no problems.
My second order was shipped next day and then... nothing. Almost two weeks later the order has not arrived, tracking details are not recognised by the courier, and email & webchat enquiries have gone unanswered. As a previous reviewer has said recently, at this point I see no other option than to request a chargeback through my credit card.

Hi Ian.
I'm so sorry for your trouble. I'm looking into this now. It's very unusual and totally unacceptable that you haven't been replied to. I've been trying to contact my customer service assistant today with no success and I'm beginning to worry that she's fallen ill! But don't worry, I'll get this all sorted for you today, either with the product or a full refund.
All the best
Tara
CEO

UPDATE:

My customer service assistant had lost power due to a hurricane where she lived. She hadn't been able to inform us.

DHL had mislaid the order, but the brand is now sending out a replacement as a priority delivery. We will also offer a discount off any future purchase by way of an apology for any inconvenience.

UPDATE -

I have now had contact from buy me once - they have chased up their supplier and have asked for a Saturday delivery. Now contact has been made, the service has been excellent

I’m starting to wonder if this is a legit company. Ordered a pan a week ago and it’s not been dispatched. Emailed, webchat and FB messenger over a few days and no reply. Think I’m going to have to do a credit card charge back if I don’t hear back in a few days

Hi Charlie,

I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been replied to. That's super unusual and I'll look into why right away. I know my customer service lady's kids were ill in the last week and she hasn't been able to spend so much time on email, so it may be that yours fell through the cracks.

I have chased Soliteknics on your behalf. They are usually much quicker to dispatch than this so I do apologise.

I've reached out to you directly by email too. Please let me know if you'll accept 10% off any future purchase by way of an apology.,

All the best,
Tara

They do the research so you don't have to!

We needed to get some new pans after switching from a gas to an induction hob. We really appreciated having a small curated range specifically selected for quality and longevity to choose from on the website, rather than having to do the research ourselves. We've been really pleased with the pans so far. Thanks buymeonce!

Unexpectedly disappointing

The customer service people are very pleasant, but I've not received either of the items ordered 25 days ago. One had been discontinued by the manufacturer; the other is - I don't know where.
Disappointed.

Excellent customer service

I had fabulous customer experience with Buy Me Once. I asked for an update on where my parcel was and I got a very quick response and further updates without asking. It can be hard to find good customer service these days and I really felt they went above and beyond and were incredibly kind, efficient and understanding. Also the product is absolutely beautiful and everything we hoped for

Ordered on the 20th Dec

Ordered on the 20th Dec; delivered on the 21st - that's impressive. A lovely leather product, made in the UK that I'm sure will age beautifully. Thank you

Long lasting

Long lasting, researched products and really quick customer service when there was an issue with delivery with part of the order. All great!

Great products, and great customer service

All companies should behave like this, and encourage us to buy more thoughtfully.

I've purchased a few things from Buy Me Once and the quality is amazing. The price can be high, but the items I've bought will genuinely last a lifetime, so I think of it more like an investment. The Solidteknics pans genuinely do get better with each use.

The customer service is also great - Tara has been really responsive and helpful through all contact.
