Ordered an item in May by mid June it still hasn’t arrived so I requested a refund. Now almost two weeks later received an email stating there was an issue with the refund. If you don’t have products available don’t sell them on your website and at least give people their money back.

Appauling delivery times and no communication when I chased the order up. They don't deliver within ten days as stated in their terms and then leave you with no information regarding the status of your items. Won't be ordering from them again. Unprofessional and a waste of time

Hello Nikki,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the delays and lack of communication you experienced with your recent order. We understand how frustrating and inconvenient this situation has been for you.
Our goal is to despatch orders within 10 working days, with delivery expected within 3-5 working days after despatch. We regret that we failed to meet these expectations in your case, and we are taking steps to investigate and address the cause of this delay to prevent it from happening in the future.
We are also deeply sorry for the lack of communication when you tried to follow up on your order. I have searched for the email address you used to place the order into our email system and no emails are coming up. Did you perhaps use another email address?
Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services.
Kind regards,
Loren
Unreliable retailer and unfulfilled orders
Do not buy from this company, they offer goods at a lower price with free delivery versus their competitors to hook you in, then take your money and on order confirmation surprisingly state they will deliver in 10 working days (despite their website showing 3-5 working days) and then don’t fulfil your order nor provide any order updates. When you then try and contact customer services two weeks on to see why your goods have not arrived they do not respond or acknowledge emails. I ordered rugs from this company which was a significant purchase and luckily used my CC so have protection but will never buy from this company again as completely unreliable.

Very bad delay on order
Cannot believe how long an order can take to come, their website says up to 10 days from receipt of order.
Contacted customer services but still no answer as to why my order has not been received, the order was placed on 30th May 2024 we are now 20th June 2024, if you do not have the items in stock, customers should be informed with a correct delivery date.

Hello Emma,
I am very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with our service. Your feedback is important to us, and I apologise for the inconvenience you have faced.
We understand your frustration with the delay in receiving your order and the lack of timely communication from our side. Our goal is always to provide our customers with prompt and efficient service, and it is clear that we fell short in this instance.
The issue you encountered was due to the incorrect item arriving into the warehouse. I regret that our efforts to inform you were insufficient and that your follow-up email was not responded to in a timely manner. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.
To resolve this matter as quickly as possible, I have personally escalated your case to our Buying department. We will provide you with an update on the status of your order within the next 24 hours.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to make things right.
Kind regards,

Scammers
I placed an order on26th May this year. Allowed 10 days still no delivery needed item for a sick horse. £73.79 taken from bank straight away though. No answer from customer service no phone number to phone them. I have today phoned my bank who have said they will help me along with Trading Standards. I have been scammed and wish I had read all the reviews listed here before entering into contact with them. The item ordered is no cheaper than purchasing in an Equine shop so steer clear and don't get scammed !
Since writing this review today and pointing out the error of their ways I have had 3 e-mails confirming cancellation of order and a refund to be made to my account one saying 3-5 days and another saying 14 days which is pretty disgusting considering they took it straight away! So watch this space as to whether or not my money comes back!
PS Update on the above review. 14.06.24 The money was returned to my account today so thank you for that Equus. I also notice your response to my complaint, similar complaints by many customers and very similar apologies to those customers. Surely you need to up your game and get it right and stop putting genuine purchasers into turmoil. These people won't return to your company to purchase and I certainly won't. At 67 I can ill afford to lose money or cope with the stress you caused me.

We understand the importance of timely delivery and are sorry to hear that the delivery attempts were unsuccessful initially. Our records indicate that FedEx attempted to deliver your boots on two occasions, but they were unable to do so because no one was available to receive the package.

Please know that your satisfaction is important to us and we thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Absolutely shocking BAD service
Absolutely shocking bad service. Ordered fly rug, 10 days later it still hadn’t been despatched, emailed 3 times asking for refund and followed with Facebook message before anyone bothered to get back to me. Then received the excuse of warehouse issues and bank holiday (which was 9 days after order was placed) and that she’d emailed the warehouse manager to remind him to send the rug out in next 24 hours… I replied asking once again for a refund and no surprise… I have had no response! Will NEVER be back, and would not recommend.

Gave them another chance, which I now regret.
Gave them another chance, which I now regret and can't get an answer. Ordered when it said took up to 10 days to leave warehouse. Ok, chased up and was assured it would definitely leave by the end of 10 days. On the 11th day I chased it up and was then told some bull about stock issues, so there is a delay but cannot determine how long. Website still says 7 in stock. So not sure what to believe. But am pretty miffed I fell for them again! My mistake.

The only reason I didn’t put 5* is because my purchases turned up in 3 separate parcels/days, but they did all came next day delivery (I just had free postage due to the amount I spent) & received everything in 8 days of purchasing.
It was the cheapest I could buy the products online too & received good communication via email when I had a question.

Hello Nigel,
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, EQUUS did go into administration on the 19th of September 2023 and was subsequently bought out by another company and has chosen to continue trading under the name EQUUS. An email was sent to explain this to customer in September however I apologise if you perhaps did not receive this. Under the new company, we are unable to fulfil order placed before the 19th of September 2023. I would recommend contacting your bank to open a chargeback to receive your money back.
