Hi Alex.

Thank you for your recent review.

Firstly, I'm terribly sorry that you've had a negative experience with us, we appreciate how frustrating it must be not to receive your order.

I've had a look into your order with us and can confirm the order was shipped with valid tracking on the 26th of June. Unfortunately, on further inspection of the tracking it seems that your order has gotten lost in the post.

I can see you emailed our customer service department before it was shipped for further information on the order and they did reply to each of your email within 24 hours - to which you replied back to.

I can't see any emails from you explaining that you haven't received the order so this is why it wasn't resolved - we do need to be made aware if an order hasn't arrive.

I've just sent you over an email with a form to fill in so we can launch an investigation with the postal services and get this resolved for you as quickly as possible.

Once again we're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused to you and we look forward to getting this resolved quickly.

Kind regards,
Equus

So disappointed with customer service. Had part of my ordered delivered (very happy with) but with the items not received I did not get a refund. Numerous emails but still no refund. After a month I had to claim back via PayPal dispute.

Returns not accepted.

I have never heard of body protectors being a restricted item to return. Until now that is.
I measured and bought what was indicated by the information on the site, it has arrived (in good time, may I add) and it's far too big.
Pretty unusable and would probably cause more problems wearing it than not.
I went ahead and ordered a smaller size and packed the unused one to return. When I went to print a returns form thats when it states, body protectors are under the same category as underwear and are non returnable. I have checked a couple of competitors and they all accept body protector returns.
I think its pretty poor this isn't more obvious upon purchase.

I would go elsewhere as the measurements aren't accurate and you dont have return rights.

Hi Sophie.

Thank you for your review.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't realise our body protectors are non returnable.

I can confirm we do state on all listings of body protectors very clearly the following information:

Body protectors. A body protector is an important piece of safety equipment. Because of this, we expect you to have already been fitted by a qualified fitter and to know your size. For this reason, all body protectors on our website are non-returnable and non-refundable.

We also state this in our returns policy and our terms & conditions so that customers are able to see this 3 times before making a purchase.

I appreciate this must be frustrating and we are sorry we cannot accept this back as a return but unfortunately, due to it being safety equipment we don't allow the return of these items.

I've checked the item you purchased and the measurements that we have on the website are correct.

Once again we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Equus

Hi Claire.

Thank you for your recent review.

I'm sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with us, I've had a look into this.

I can see that you did indeed return 2 items to us and they have now both been refunded. Due to them being from separate orders and only receiving a returns form for one order it caused a delay in the second order being refunded.

I can see that we have a 12 email thread with you explaining this and that you have been responding to us, all our responses have been sent within 48 hours.

We are really sorry for the delay in processing the second refund and for the inconvenience caused but I can see that this has now been resolved for you.

Kind Regards,
Equus.

Poor communication
Discrepancies between e mail s stating why items not sent and when they would be sent.
Order cancelled but they conveniently forgot to refund.
Initially told refund 3-5 working days a week ago and now told 14 days.

Hi Alisa.

Thank you for your review.

Firstly, I'm so sorry about your order and that we couldn't fulfil it on time on this occasion,

We had some difficulties with the supplier in receiving your order with us in our main warehouse - the stock unfortunately got delayed and we appreciate your frustration in not receiving your order on time.

I can see that our customer service team have responded to all your emails within the 48 hours timeframe explaining the delays and giving you as much information as they could.

I am sorry that you then had to cancel your order as it was taking too long for you - the purchasing manager has been made aware of this and is speaking with the suppliers to put in something that will prevent this from happening again as the last thing we'd ever want to do it let a customer down.

Take care,
Equus

Avoid! You will not get your order!

This company is clearly going into liquidation. They are taking payments for goods but not delivering. Unless you want to waste your time chasing your items I wouldn’t bother with this company. I have asked to cancel my order and be send a refund, which fortunately customer services, have obliged.
I will now have to shop elsewhere, just wish I’d checked these reviews before making my purchase.

Still Waiting, No Updates

Ordered an item last month and I’m still waiting. Chased and was told there was a delay but they would despatch it as soon as possible, that was a week ago. Still no updates and it will be a month waiting at the end of this week with no communication unless I chase them. As it stands wouldn’t recommend.

Stealing. Do not use!

Been waiting for stirrup leathers for four weeks.
Emailed customer service who said they’d look into it. No response.
Chased again, no response.
Still showing as in stock on their website. Haven’t even had the decency to tell me order is delayed, I had to contact them.
Taken my money and now not giving me the item so actually stealing. Disgusting. Will NEVER use again. Have just contacted my bank to raise a payment dispute.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking customer service, they picked and delivered me the wrong size product, then insisted I return the item, didn't offer anything towards my cost of returning, said they couldn't replace the item and have now had my returned item a week without making any contact to confirm receipt, refund my money or even respond to my emails to their customer services team!!

Hi.

Thank you for your recent review and I'm sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with us.

I'm so sorry that the order was mis-picked and you've been sent the incorrect item - without your order information or name we're unable to search the order and give further information on this.

However, I can say that with any mis-picks the return shipping will always be refunded to the customer via our customer service team - this is our policy and something that they all stick by.

Unfortunately, we can't always replace returns which sounds like what has happened in this case and they will therefore be refunded. Once an order has been received by our returns department it can take up to 7 days to process the refund/return.

If it has been passed this time please get in touch with your order details and we'll get this resolved for you right away.

Kind regards,
Equus.

Lacking customer service

I placed an order for stirrup leathers and then read the reviews which were not at all favourable and made me a bit concerned about my order. On the website it did say they might take a few weeks to arrive which was fine as there was no urgency. I was pleasantly surprised and relieved when they arrived a few days later and I’m very happy with them. However at the same time I did order 2 plastic curry combs which I did not receive, I was sent 2 mane combs instead. I did send Equus a message and received an automated reply saying my query would be dealt with in a couple of days. That was 10 days ago and although my query was apparently important to them, I’ve given up hope now. Would I risk using this company again? Probably not. There are many other equine companies who offer excellent customer service and I think that’s important when you’re ordering online.
