Absolutely love the dresses from here

Absolutely love the dresses from here. Just had the Runa and it’s perfect! The detail on it with the beads is beautiful and the green is lovely for a wedding. Always quick to post and if something isn’t quite right the returns are easy and quick refunds too. Would highly recommend

Poor refund process

Negatives: I wish I had ordered this from Next I have found the waiting time for refunds too long.
I have chased a couple of times and been told that both my returns from the 4th and 9th of May are to be refunded but only one has been refunded so far today. That's two weeks after it was received back at Hope & Ivy!
The £4 deduction for postage is an extra stung in the tail as I have paid it twice!!
Had I ordered from Next I wouldn't have been charged this and would have had my refund within 24 hours.
I have said I wouldn't order from them again due to this sadly.

Positives: That said, absolutely gorgeous dresses (this one was too long sadly).
Customer Service Team responsive to email.
Delivery was quick

I would not buy again from this company…

I would not buy again from this company due to them ignoring my messages when I queried no refund. I am still waiting. I returned 2 dresses over 3 weeks ago. Why are they doing this to customers? It is a common theme with the reviews by their customers on here. They have the goods back in their warehouse and would then be able to resell them on but they then continue to hold on to customers money in their own bank account when they could just refund us. It is a really really poor service. Do they have cash flow issues why they are taking so long to refund customers? Very very poor service. Hopefully they will read the reviews on here and improve their customer service and customer experience and start refunding customers their money asap. It’s not right how they are treating customers and I am really not impressed. In future I will purchase from other companies who do not hold to my money when they have had the goods back for ages.

Hi Marcia, Sorry to read you are not having the greatest experince with us, i can certainly help you no worries. We aim to refund all customers with 5-7 working days of the parcel arriving back to us, and are currently around the 6 day mark due to peak season and bank holiday weekends. We would certainly never hold back a refund.

All customer emails are responded to within 24 hours (mon-fri), and from a quick check on the system i am unable to find an email from you. Can i make sure you are contacting us through the site only at: https://hopeandivy.co.uk/pages/contact

Do you want to drop me a call or direct email, and we can get this resolved for you today.

Again we apologise for your delay, and once we have your details from you this can be resolved - 07812538710 - beth@hopeandivy.co.uk

Beautiful dresses

Beautiful dresses. The downfall is returning . Iv now waited 3 weeks for a refund and still nothing after emailing maybe 5 times. The dress I want is in stock But I’m now reluctant to buy again. Just had an email stating my refund will take another 10 days . That’s from returning it on the 5th of April
And £4 return postage deducted
Not acceptable

Hi Sharron, please bear in mind refunds taking 10 days to be credited into your account is only guidelines from the bank, and most go through within 2 working days. Thanks again for your patience with this, have a lovely day

The dresses are absolutely gorgeous

The dresses are absolutely gorgeous, the colours are lovely. The sizes are horrendous - I am a size 14/16 and it wouldn’t go anywhere near me. I ordered a size 20 and that was still tight! Lol good job I’m not offended easily!

ordered four Juliette dresses for my…

I ordered four Juliette dresses for my daughter’s bridesmaids. Although the dresses were absolutely beautiful my heart sank as I noticed there was a two week return policy. Given that one dress was a slightly different shade and compounded by the fact that some of the bridesmaids were not available to try for size in that time frame.
I contacted customer service for guidance. I received a swift response and thereafter an outstanding!!! Customer experience. I was reassured that under the circumstances they could extend the return period in order for them to help me identify the right dresses. Many e-mails were exchanged and photos sent to to the warehouse staff to match the colour…they could not have done any more to help and we are so very grateful!

Room for improvement

I have updated my review following a full refund for my returned items. Overall, I would give the quality and cost of the wedding dresses a 5-star rating. The problem is there is no streamlined return and refund practices - and you can expect to chase customer services for a refund even after they've recieved your returned items. Once this company automate and optimise the process - I would expect it to be a 5-star experience overall. In the meantime, I strongly suggest buying hope and Ivy dresses from larger retailers like ASOS or NEXT, to avoid the headache of manually chasing things up.

Returns process

Dissapointed to have to return dress to H&I, as I got my wife’s size wrong. Really happy with the returns process and advised when money was back in my account.

Beautiful dresses at such a good price…

Beautiful dresses at such a good price for what they are! The quality is great and they're so different from anything else out there. I bought one for my graduation and will definitely be coming back here for all the weddings I have coming up

Beautiful Occassion Dress

I bought a dress from here for my graduation and it was perfect! I bought The Clara dress and it was perfect underneath my graduation robes. The print was really unique and beautiful and the fit was nice. I liked that it had a lining too as lots of Satin dresses don't have them. I had lots of compliments and the best part was that nobody was wearing the same thing as me!

Beautiful Clothes & Great Customer Service

Purchased a beautiful dress from Hope & Ivy for my friend's wedding. So many compliments about it and I felt so comfortable all day. Also had a great customer service experience from Shay when I had a query regarding another item. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Horrible!! DO NOT BUY

Horrible!!! Items were extremely small and when I went to return within 14 days, it cost me $150 to return to the UK. This website is a scam!!!

Customer service not so good the second time

I’ve previously purchased from Hope & Ivy and left a review because I had amazing customer service from them. This time I bought a dress in the sale and the dress was slightly damaged. Despite them still having the dress in my size, I was first offered a 10% discount for the inconvenience. I asked for a replacement and was told if I posted the dress to them, they would have the dress fixed and returned to me. They have since refunded me £4.80, which I doubt is enough to get the dress repaired. I shouldn’t have to take a brand new dress to be repaired. The dress should have been replaced for another one.

Hi, I believe you maybe getting mixed up. We have offered to repair this ourselves and return to you. As a business we strive to reduce waist, so if we can repair small issues like your inner small strap then we'd it saves it going to land fill. We hope that 10% off your £48 dress, return of original postage costs and the offer to be repaired would work for you. Thanks
