Purchased a dress for £53 3 weeks ago.

Purchased a dress for £53 3 weeks ago.. Whilst I was at work I received a notification that it had been delivered and signed for at my address by Hermes.. When I knew there was no one home. I checked my ring doorbell and the courier had signed for it himself and left it on my doorstep. 8 hours later when I got home from work it was gone.. Tried to get through to Harkel on the phone number that is hidden on their website.. Waited 15 minutes each time then got cut off. Webchat service unavailable. Used the messaging service that didn't work. Last resort was to post on their Facebook page.. They ignored me and responded to posts either side of mine so I knew they had seen it. It wasn't until I mentioned trading standards they responded to tell me someone would message..Guess what.. No one did. When I asked 3 days later why they hadnt messaged they said they thought it was sorted... 🙈. Today I get an email asking what the issue is. 3 weeks down the line they still have my money and I don't have a dress. I've never known a company to have such bad service. I've now contacted Klarna to stop payments AVOID AT ALL COSTS.!! They don't really care!

Update.. Harkel have now advised that the courier left the package due to distancing rules.. Even though he rang the doorbell! So expect your package to be signed for by the courier and left on your doorstep to be taken.. And then try and get in touch with them.

You will notice that all of the glowing 5 star reviews on here are not from people with verified purchases.. So they are probably staff. 😂

Hi Claire,

Thank you for your feedback, I will ensure that our team takes this feedback on board and the relevant changes are made. We are always looking at improving the service provided to our customers; especially during these current times where we are experiencing unexpected difficulties caused by the virus.

As for the issue with Hermes, they are currently operating a contact-free policy due to the virus. Their policy is to leave the parcel on the doorstep and ring the bell (or knock on the door), and then walk away. I completely agree that this is far from an ideal situation however, the couriers have had to put these temporary steps in place to help protect their team.

These are definitely frustrating times but we will be taking all feedback on board and ensure we learn from this difficult and unusual time.

Thank you again and if you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact Sarah on the email thread that you've been speaking to her on.

Kind regards,

Mathew

AVOID!! Went to court to receive refund!

After seeing their adverts on social media I made an order of £200. The items weren’t right and so I returned them on the 1st March. It is now the 20th March and I have had no refund. Harkel have advised they have not received my parcel back despite Hermes saying otherwise.

Harkel have refused any refund and I am £200 down.

AVOID!

Edit: 28th April, still no refund. Hermes have now admitted fault and asked you to claim from them and you are refusing to do so and in turn refusing to honour my due refund. WORST ‘CUSTOMER SERVICE’ of all time.


Edit: In response to your reply, you have done nothing to assist. I have returned my order of £204 and your response has been sorry we haven’t received it. You have not helped in any way. I have lost £204 and Harkel could not care less. You clearly do not care for your customers and I can only hope this review and word of mouth spreads about your lack of customer care.

EDIT: 12/08/2020
After taking my case to small claims court, 5 months after returning my order, I will finally be receiving my refund. Harkel have done absolutely nothing in the way of customer service and I will never shop with them again.

PLEASE SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WITH A COMPANY THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

Hi Jemma,

Thank you for updating your review and keep us updated with the situation. I have looked into this matter and can see that the team was working with yourself and Hermes and we even raised this with the Hermes management team to help escalate the issue on multiple occasions. As confirmed by Hermes, the issue was due to you returning the parcel to Debenhams instead of Harkel; we were unable to refund the parcel as it was never returned back to us but promised to fully refund once the parcel was back with us.

We always recommend customers using our free returns service, as this will ensure that the return is sent back to us and not to another company in error.

We will always do our best to help our customers, even if the error was something not caused by Harkel.

I am really happy that you have managed to fix the issue and if there is anything else that we can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact the Harkel Help team.

Kind regards,

Mathew

My favourite new place to shop

Really fast delivery, unique clothing, excellent customer service. Literally cannot ask for anything more. I've ordered twice from Harkel. Was apprehensive at first but didn't need to be as everything about the purchase went smoothly. Delivered in a nice box with stars on it made me smile. Showered with compliments for every item of clothing I've bought from there.

Great clothes and brilliant customer service

A fantastic company selling great quality (and very different) clothes. Items arrive quickly and packaged very well. Communication is 100% during whole buying/delivering process and customer services replied to me promptly and were very helpful.

Well made, lovely style and super fast postage!

Dress was ordered on Sunday and arrived the next day! It is a lovely quality piece, clearly looks like care has been taken to consider details and fit, which is rare nowadays! Fabric and style are lovely, and it looks really nice on. Would definitely recommend!

Placed my first order and I am impressed with the whole experience. Amazing styles that you cant get anywhere else and the free UK delivery was very fast.

I bought 2 sizes and returned 1 for a refund which was processed quickly. Their sizing is true to size.
