More than happy with the dress i ordered, didnt wait long for it to arrive, and i was pleased with how it was packed folded tidy and in a pretty postage bag. 😁

Shocking. Placed an order on 11th April. Took my money then nothing. No items, no communication, just radio silence. I will be reporting to action fraud after the bank holiday. Looking at all other r... See more

Communication and customer service is absolutely awful. Numerous WhatsApp and emails have been ignored for weeks. Whilst I understand you have families etc so have we all and other staff need to be put in place to cover this. When my order arrived both items were awful. I ordered and dress and a cardigan both advertised as cashmere, both are awful, cheap, synthetic material, both have Chinese labels stating they are acrylic. Very disappointed.

Hello,

I can only apologise. All staff at DD over the Christmas period came down with flu and covid, in and out of hospital and we took a while to reply to messages during this time. We have a new member of staff starting next week, which will help with answering questions quicker.

If you’d like to send your items back for a full refund, please do so. I send our sincerest apologies and hope to see you at Downtown Dolly soon xx

Avoid

Ordered 11th December 2021, still nothing and it’s now the 19/01/2022.
Messaged on WhatsApp ignored. Emailed in had a reply (this was 22/23 December 2021)
Text to say been sent on 5th January 2022 and still nothing.

Emailed in again, no reply.

Will be contacting my bank to get this reimbursed.
Avoid.

Seeing as now downtown dolly has replied, I’m updating where it’s at so far:

Reply of review received 27/01/2022 blaming covid etc, seems to be the only answer they give to all their reviews. They are assuming I have received this dress, which still has NOT turned up. How can I send it back for a refund when the item has NOT been received?!!!! They really don’t read reviews do they?
I have opened a goods dispute with my bank to try and reclaim my lost money.

Don’t waste your time with this shop, goods don’t turn up, customer services is absolutely dismal.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Update 03/03/2022:
Had a text from this so called company asking why MY money had been charged back to me. My bank investigated the issue and claimed MY money back. Goods never arrived, ordered same item elsewhere which arrived.

After months of being ignored I gave up and opened a dispute with the bank and gave all the photographic evidence. They closed the investigation a couple of days ago with MY money being refunded for no show of item.

Find it absolutely rude for this company to text to why MY money had been refunded when I told them I will be contacting my bank. Months of waiting and nothing.

Poor quality and thus unusable goods. Not as advertised. Very disappointed. Already set aside for recycling.

Lovely product and very helpful and responsive. Royal Mail delivery delays at Christmas are outside the control of the seller - so although they were delayed, still very happy with product and service. Many thanks.

I placed an order with this company on 1st December which I have still not received (it's now 29th) I have sent umpteen messages to Louise but have had no reply.

Not at described

I checked with Louise before ordering “cashmere “ socks that they were actually cashmere. When they arrived they were made of only 35% wool, 36% polyester and 29% cotton
When I got in touch their response was apologetic and suggested I was sent the wrong item in error. I posted them back and sent photos of proof of postage. They were signed for on. 17 December and I emailed them twice regarding the return. I was reimbursed on 29 December
