Great Supplier

As the only supplier to get uniforms for my son's school I was a bit dubious to buy online. But my experience buying from Direct Clothing has been excellent. It's not very often they run out of stock and if anything needs to be returned there is no hassle.

Wrong item delivered.

I ordered a senior school plain grey skirt for my daughter. A junior school pleated, checked skirt was sent, despite the correct skirt on the delivery note and order confirmation. I emailed direct clothing but had no response. I therefore had to pay to return it, re-order the correct item and pay further postage to have the correct one sent - all in all, postage for one skirt therefore cost me approx £15!

Although the skirt received is great quality, communication & customer service was not.

Returns and delivery take an eternity

Returns and delivery take an eternity. I still haven't received my order from August 21st, or any correspondence regarding it.
Emails also either take an eternity or there's no response. The phone system, when calling is also inefficient.

Poor experience and high prices but forced to purchase due to school’s uniform policy

Kids grow fast, so sizes often don’t fit. Making customers pay to return items is unfair and not what people expect from online shopping today. The exchange process is frustrating—there’s no easy way to swap items. Instead, customers have to cancel their order, wait for a refund, and then buy the item again. And when they do, they’re charged again for delivery. On top of that, the prices are higher than similar products sold on other websites. This mix of poor service, high costs, and extra fees makes it a very unpleasant experience.

Ordered something but not been told when it will arrive or when the shop is open. Dreadful communication as usual.
