BEWARE!! DON'T BUY FROM COCONUT BOWLS!!NEVER RECEIVED MY ORDER

BEWARE!! DON'T BUY FROM COCONUT BOWLS! NEVER RECEIVED MY ORDER AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE COMPANY!! TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY SIGN THEIR EMAILS "IN KINDNESS". WELL IT IS NOT “KIND” TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY. NON EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO SPEAK TO AN ACTUAL PERSON AND IT TAKES TWO DAYS OR MORE TO GET A NON HELPFUL COMPUTER RESPONSE TO EMAILS. RIDICULOUS. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. DON'T BE SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY.
UPDATE: JAKE HAS REPLIED WITH A VERY MISLEADING AND INTIMIDATING STATEMENT. HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT READ HIS OWN COMPANY EMAILS TO ME. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED: THEY REPEATED WHAT I HAD WRITTEN TO THEM IN AN EMAIL. AFTER WEEKS OF NOT GETTING THE PRODUCT- THE PACKAGE HAD NOT BEEN DELIVERED BECAUSE OF ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN. THEIR EMAIL WAS POINTLESS BECAUSE IT TOLD ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW AND WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM! IE THAT THE PACKAGE WAS SENT BACK ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN. THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT AND MY SON WHO THIS WAS SENT TO HAS LIVED THERE FOR 5 YEARS AND GETS PACKAGES EVERYDAY FOR WORK. THE DAY THIS WAS RETURNED HE RECEIVED 3 PACKAGES. JAKE THEN EMAILED ME THAT IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. BUT THE LOCAL POST OFFICE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR WALK IN SERVICE AND THERE IS NO NUMBER TO CALL. JAKE'S COMPANY HAS CHOSEN USPS AS THEIR DELIVERY MODE SO IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGURE OUT WHY USPS DID NOT DELIVER. – THERE IS NO WAY FOR US TO DO THAT!
IF JAKE'S COMPANY IS A LEGITIMATE COMPANY HE WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT BY SENDING ANOTHER BOOK IMMEDIATELY BY FED EX.

Hi Stephany, this is a really unfortunate review considering there is clear feedback from the courier "Your item was returned to the sender on September 28, 2020 at 6:00 pm in ATLANTA, GA 30308 because the addressee was not known at the delivery address noted on the package."

Your order was shipped on Monday September 21st, after being placed on Wednesday September 16th. There is tracking available throughout, and our support team have advised that once received at our warehouse we can re-ship following delivery address confirmation from you.

I am sorry that we could not resolve this any faster for you, however there was a delivery issue that is out of our control. We will resolve this via our customer support emails with you and we trust that you will reconsider your review.

Kind Regards,

Jake

Hi Mary, I do appreciate your feedback and apologize for the feelings you have towards our company.

I would like to first address this issue with the following.
- Your order was shipped September 3, DHL tracking was provided to you.
- There has not been any updated from DHL since September 8.
- We received an email from you September 15.
- DHLs policy is to allow 14 business days from date of last tracking update until they can deem a package as lost.
- Therefore we must wait until September 28th until we can ship a replacement to you.

I would kindly request for you to reconsider your review, as this is a courier issue and out of our control. I do not believe this is a fair review.

Kind Regards,

Jake

No Customer Service/Communication

This company has the worst customer service/communication. I bought a few items including the ebook. The link
For the ebook does not work and now tells me that I have exceeded my downloads. I have sent numerous emails and messages on messenger but no reply. The worst customer service I have ever come across for an organisation. Never again.

Never arrived. Communication is terrible, I haven’t got one email back in 3 weeks and will be taking this further. $200 down the drain. Would not recommend.

Never arrived!!
Been 3 weeks and I have not received a thing. Not even tracking information. They don't answer emails or messages on Facebook. I have received no actual communication except automatic emails. Always the same message. I have opened a case against them on PayPal. Will never recommend.

Lovely items.

Didn’t come when they were supposed to but I emailed, received a quick reply apologising and refunded the delivery cost straight away. I was then told they would promise to send out beginning of the week and they did. Items are beautiful, worth the wait in my eyes.

Rough start but I'm a happy camper now! :-)

I had a rough start with coconut bowls due to the shipping carrier, but thankfully I was able to get help from Jake the founder of coconut bowls. He was more than understanding and sent me a reshipment since the mail carrier delivered my package elsewhere. I have received my order and I'm in love with my bowls and everything else! And OMG the coconut lime candle is to die for!! I will be ordering more items soon, I cannot wait to order their cups. My 11 yr old daughter is all about save the turtles and eco friendly environment so she's beyond happy with her new bamboo straws ( which are perfect for drinking BOBA with)

Again thank you Jake for taking the time and making things right!! I'm one happy customer! (Just wish mail carriers where more responsible with the managing of your beautiful bowls)

Hi Nicole, this is Jake the founder of Coconut Bowls. I really do understand your frustration, and am sorry that you feel this way about our company. I have reviewed all available information about your order and also reviewed the support Ronald has provided you.

I am proud of our company and positive community that we foster, and to make the accusations as you have are false and out of line,

This review is unwarranted, unreasonable and unappreciated, however I want to address these issues in three parts to explain the entire situation for readers of this review.

1) Your order was shipped, and tracking has been provided door to door. With confirmed delivery at your mailbox by USPS - https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input?origTrackNum=9361269903505294991022

2) As Ronald has suggested, this is a courier issue that they have either mis-delivered or your package has been stolen. it is a reasonable request for you to speak to your neighbours, apartment reception or contact USPS to file a claim or seek further information. As the sender, of a recorded successful delivery - the dispute is now between the courier and the customer.

3) As a gesture of goodwill, we have offered to provide you a credit for the value of the items.

I am not quite sure what else would satisfy your expectations, but I have personally emailed you in an attempt to find a resolution in a friendly, fair and reasonable manner.

Would give zero stars but there is no…

Would give zero stars but there is no option! I ordered two separate orders with this company over 6 weeks ago, I have tried numerous methods of contacting them and have been ignored on all platforms (money for orders has been taken by the way!) You can't even check with your tracking number as they conveniently don't provide you with one despite asking you to check using your tracking number. Have got consumer affairs and PayPal dealing with this matter now.
Please avoid at all costs, extremely dodgy company.
Note: I have have had a response on this platform below however have not been provided with contact details to contact Jake. Can you PLEASE provide me with valid contact details if you say that all my previous attempts to contact you are not being received.
A contact telephone number would be preferred as I would like to speak with someone given I have tried every other means of contact....(your website contact form, email address, Instagram, FB) all of which I have had no response

Hi Jacqui, I'm really sorry to learn about your experience. As the owner of this business, I am trying to investigate and resolve this for you, I cannot locate any order or email enquiry under your name, could you please respond with your order number(s)? Thank you - Jake

Absolute worst customer service experience

Absolutely the worst customer service! I asked for an ETA and was told soon. When it finally shipped, I never received my order. When I contacted them and told them I haven’t receive it, they simply sent me the tracking number and said it was delivered to my mailbox. Believe me, nothing is there. So I emailed them back saying that and I haven’t heard back...it’s been 4 business days. I regret donating my money to this company since they don’t care about customer service, only care about the profit.

Update: they replied back. Send me my address then told me to contact the post office. Like I didn’t try that already. The post office tells me to contact Coconut Bowl, Coconut Bowl tells me to contact the post office. Considering I spent $100+ on my order, if shouldn’t be this hard. After reviewing positive reviews, I noticed the photos associated with them has their product in the photo....they are having employees and/or ambassadors leave fake reviews with some form of kick back because no company wants to have 100% 1 star rating.

Update: I was provide a fake (You read that right) voucher in hopes to prevent me from leaving 1 star reviews on multiple platforms. For a sustainable company, they have no code of ethics.

Not in the slightest impressed with this company.

- ordered about two weeks ago
- never received my items
- I email to chase things up
- They tell me my items were collected
- funny thing is they NEVER sent me any tracking information to even know where the items were
- they then tell me to chase up the courier myself and let them know what is said
- I pay and do not get the goods and they ask ME to chase it up!
- email replies are an utter jokes more than a few days for a reply which is ridiculous
- I’ve asked for a refund as this is all a waste of time and no reply!

Received leaking bowls

Received leaking bowls! One cracked.. and both drip around the bottom logo, which my daughter and I found out immediately upon use with milk trickling into our hands. The forks were also not sanded down with tiny splinters throughout, which caused an immediate splinter on my hand pulling them out of their packaging box, so I was too concerned to use them for eating. After kindly writing to customer support regarding these matters, they requested photos of the issues. Of which I took my time to take many for them (hard to show extent within photos, so took several), I also sent a video filming underneath the bowl of it dripping. They rudely responded, with condescending remarks, even suggesting ignorance that I didn't follow the "care" instructions properly (of which I did, and only used them once to learn of the leaking issues, receiving them only a few days ago). They stated for me to sand down the forks myself and that the bowls are misshapen because they're natural (umm, the obvious!), but they should be able to sit upright on a table, and they certainly shouldn't leak. What a waste of money, time, and effort in providing them with what they asked, only to have it brushed off within minutes of not being broken “enough”. Their refusal for my return of the items simply for a replacement or refund, ignores their 30 day "guarantee" and disrespects their customers!! Apparently the bowls have to be broken in half completely, or broken forks snapped entirely, for them to be rendered as defective/faulty items. Ridiculous! They’re absolutely unusable, other than dry foods; nuts. Forget any wet salad, fruits, or yoghurt, through the cracks. I also own a set of these from elsewhere, which are lovely.. and was just trialing a new company to get the set with the spoons/forks. Appalling product and service! Will be taking it to the ombudsman, simply on principal, not the $40+ They straight out said “too bad” and brushed all concerns off, not even allowing me to send them back to them to inspect properly themselves! Of which I would not trust their service now to do anyway. Ps. Wrote a review on their website,,, but they don't put up the lower stars! They ignore those too!!

Hi Andrea, this is Jake - the founder of Coconut Bowls.

First of all, I recognise your frustration and would like to apologise that your order did not meet your expectations. I’m really disappointed that you are left unsatisfied, and I would like to step in and confirm that Ronald has followed the correct customer support procedures. As Ronald mentioned in his emails to you, we are happy to provide you with a full refund, you will simply be responsible for the return shipping costs.

As you’re aware, our products are handcrafted from 100% natural materials, and like all artisan made products you will experience small imperfections, and the products do require you to observe their nature and acknowledge these imperfections and treat them differently to a ceramic bowl for example.

If you do want to proceed with a return, then please ship them back to us, and upon inspection if these are deemed faulty then of course you will also be refunded for the shipping costs. Unfortunately from the photos, as Ronald has mentioned, we cannot clearly see any fault.

Lastly, I want to make a note of the stance you have taken with your review, this really hurts us, both personally and as a brand. I really don’t believe your experience required this level of negativity, their is a beautiful human and environmental synergy that goes into the crafting of our products, and while you’re dissatisfied and frustrated, I believe our response and support provided to you has been fair, and reasonable.

Times are challenging for us all at the moment, and I kindly request a little more compassion from you, we are doing our best - and as noted, a return and refund has been offered in accordance with our 30 day guarantee. The return shipping costs is part of our returns policy.

Shipping takes forever!

I have ordered something from the site A MONTH AGO, yet they shipped it around a week ago. I understand that the current situation may cause some delays, but I payed 15 euros for express shipping and it still came 3 weeks late. I also just found out that they didn't even put my full address on the package, meaning I had to change the address myself on the DPD website. I should be getting my package on Monday, but very disappointed with the shipping.

Coconut bowls is the best!

Coconut bowls is the best!! I recently placed an order and it had some difficulties arriving, but the coconut bowls service was amazing. They handled the situation very nicely, and I really appreciate that. Not to mention, their items are fantastic. Every time I use them, people always ask, "Wow, where did you get those?"
