House of CB is a wonderful brand

House of CB is a wonderful brand! Shipping is so quick and the customer service is 10 out of 10 no matter what the team is so helpful and so generous they are willing to sit here and help you no matter what the situation is and their responses is so quick just like their shipping. This brand has been a personal favorite of mine for years and I am obsessed.

HORRIBLE experience returning to Spain House of CB

I have had the most horrible experience of returning my dresses to the Spain location. I ordered 2 dresses to try for my graduation, both of which too small, so I returned them the same day and ordered the larger size of the dress I liked. I went to my local courier PostNL and paid the most expensive delivery tariff with tracking and insurance, as was advised by the return policy. I did everything right according to the returns policy. However, upon delivery there was no one there to accept my package, the delivery company made two attempts within 3 weeks of the package just sitting at the Spanish posting facility, and it keeps getting ‘refused by adressee’, as my tracking information says. House of CB keeps assuring that they don’t refuse deliveries. So, the delivery companies started an internal investigation, and the result is that the House of CB does in fact refuse to accept it/ is not there to accept the package. The package is now coming back to me and I’m supposed to pay the €25-€30 again to return it while probably going through the exact same thing again. This has now been going on for weeks, with extensive efforts to resolve this from my side. Unfortunately it is not taken seriously enough from House of CB’s. I have for example been asking them for other return options, because this will definitely happen again if I resend it to Spain. I have for the past weeks been thinking proactively in resolving the matter - sending emails back and forth with the delivery company and house of CB. Don’t even bother asking for any compensation. It has made me stress out so much thinking about the financial and emotional burden and how much energy it is taking me to resolve this matter all by myself, even though it is House of CB’s problem to solve. They have a very passive and improvident approach to resolving issues. My advice is, even though their dresses seem nice, don’t buy House of CB if ordering online. Not worth the stress, anxiety and financial blow if you have to return something, which with their ‘not our problem’-approach will make sure is completely your own issue with a financial dent of more than €1000 to get just one dress in the end, which due to all the stress could not even be fully enjoyed while wearing it.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY - Illegal returns policy. They will refuse your return and keep your money even if the sizes are miles out the quality is poor or the dress looks nothing like the photos. Use your credit card or debit card charge back system. Never accept their illegal returns policy. Banks cannot refuse the chargeback even though they dont like trying.

From what we can see, your DHL tracking shows a delivery attempt between 0am-3am, which is outside our warehouse open hours. Couriers don’t deliver during the night, so this seems to be an error on DHL’s side. We recommend raising a claim with them so they can check what happened.

If the order we found is the correct one, our mail team is already in touch to help and offer another return option. We’re more than happy to accept your return back.

Basically the dress never came

Basically the dress never came. My first order with them. I sent it to a relatives house who shops from them and as a thank u I got something for her. Since I’m out of state my mother who doesn’t know English how to read or speak .. by accident sent them back a wrong item which is what I thought they had sent. Turns out the actual delivery was never made because the carrier decided to sign himself instead of waiting. I keep trying to explain to them that ups has told me to tell merchant to reach out n file claim but they’ve stated to ignore me. I’m shocked at the u professionalism. My last resort is to reach out to high authorities or my bank n show the evidence of the back n forth n how they ghosted me

Update.

So like I said I have never placed an order with u personally. So stop saying I ordered something previously. I even sent my ID to you to prove that ! I sent the order as thank you to the person who does shop with u all the time .. is that hard to understand ? So yes by accident an old order was returned because I myself am not there to check things. That’s why I said accidentally sent something back which we weren’t suppose to. Next I got the return address from that same relative .. not from any delivery that came. There I did receive the item back from you and yes the ribbon is missing but there’s no sign of wear or “soil” I can even take photos now and send. I was saying that the delivery needed signature which we didn’t know n hence my mom thought that skirt is what came maybe someone from the house received it and opened it. When we saw it needed signature we realized no one came asking for signature. We also have a video camera that can prove this.

I’m honestly just hurt n disappointed. This was suppose to be a surprise for my relative for helping us since I know she loves house of cb and has ordered from them a lot .. with the rudeness u guys talk to customers I see why the review is so low. You guys accuse n blame customers not thinking we are human n just money machine .. why would i use my money to sent an item back especially if I had personally ordered it before ? Why go through any of that I could’ve just said I didn’t get the item to begin with ! Please use your brain

Hi! Thank you for getting in touch. We’ve completed a detailed review of your order, and our records confirm that the correct item was dispatched and successfully delivered to your address, as verified by UPS.

The item you mentioned receiving in your initial email (therefore confirming that the order was delivered as such, since you let us know you also had the return address which is only available in the return sheet we put inside the box) matches a purchase you made under a different email address in 2020. The garment we received back arrived without its original tags, worn, soiled and missing the ribbon. For these reasons, we’re unable to accept it as a valid return.

As our records show that the correct item was delivered to your address correctly, and the returned item does not correspond to your recent purchase, we’re unfortunately unable to issue a replacement or refund on this occasion. The item from your 2020 purchase, which was returned to us as part of this claim, has been sent back to you free of charge. x

Hi!
We’re so sorry to hear that you’ve experienced issues with your delivery. Delivery to most countries usually takes 2–3 working days, though this can vary depending on the destination. Since this is an international shipment, occasional delays can occur while the parcel is in transit.

After checking your order, it appears that your parcel has been delayed at your local customs office. Unfortunately, this is outside of our control and depends entirely on your country’s import regulations and processing times.

If the order we’ve located is yours, it’s currently out for delivery. Please send us a DM with your order number so we can reconfirm that we’re tracking the correct order for you.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please know that at House of CB, we do everything we can to minimize delays, but international customs procedures can sometimes extend delivery times.

We recommend placing future orders in advance to allow enough time for delivery to be completed, just in case there are minor unforeseen delays in transit.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.x

I had ordered 4 items but only received 3, and after going back and forth over email they made me sign a form, and then after, they refuse to help me and say it was all delivered! A waste of time and very poor service and I will now have to take it further with my bank, I can't believe they treat their customers this way and I will not shop here again. Be very mindful when ordering and take photos of parcel at the door if you can, I wish I had done that.

Hi,
We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. After a thorough investigation, all of our records confirm that the items were delivered to you correctly (for all of your deliveries), and the package was handed over sealed, as shown in the Proof of Delivery photo provided by Parcelforce, as the post takes a photo on delivery as well.

Since our records indicate that the order was sent and delivered in full, we’ve now closed the investigation on our end and will not be proceeding further in this instance this time.

You are, of course, welcome to return the four items that were delivered to you for a refund, provided they remain unworn and with all tags attached.

Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you need any assistance with your return. x

Worst customer service I have ever…

Worst customer service I have ever encountered with a brand. I debated coming online about this but I feel like I should warn people. Literal scammers. I had ordered a dress for a wedding but plans changed and I wasn’t going anymore. I followed each step of the return policy (literally returned it the day after I received it) went to fedex and it shipped off. About a week later I had heard nothing from anyone, so I emailed them. They got back to me but said they hadn’t received it. I went back to fedex and they said it had been signed off at their warehouse by someone named H. Hector. I emailed House of Cb again, again and again trying to get an update on my return. They told me my order never came and told me I had to open an investigation which was insane. I did my part returning it and that was on them to figure it out. They refused me a refund on a $300 dress. Mind you I am not rich, I work full time and support myself. Luckily my bank reimbursed me, but the lack of communication and blame that was put on me was quite devastating. I had to go to FedEx over 4 times to get every single transaction that package made TO THEIR WAREHOUSE to try and prove to this company I made the return and they did absolutely nothing to help me. I talked to a Paul, Jazmin, Lanna and Erika, so if you get any of them to help you out, I wish you the best of luck in the world they didn’t do shit.

Hi there, so sorry to hear about this. Could you please share your order number and the return tracking ID so we can look into it for you?

None of our team members are named H.Hector/Hector, so it’s possible that FedEx may have delivered your return to the wrong location. In this case, we recommend reaching out to FedEx directly so they can provide the proof of delivery, which should include the exact address where the parcel was delivered. Please note that, as advised on our website, we don't take any responsibility for lost parcels whilst being returned to us.

If FedEx isn’t able to provide valid proof of delivery, you’ll need to raise a claim with them for further assistance. We can only process your refund once the return has been delivered to our warehouse. x

Hi,
So sorry to hear that you've had issues with your return.
Just a heads-up, return shipping is the sender’s responsibility, and we’re unfortunately not able to take responsibility for parcels while they’re in transit or if there’s an issue along the way. That said, we never reject parcels, so it’s likely that the issue lies with the postal service or shipping method used if the package couldn’t be delivered to us.

We’ll be able to process your return and issue your refund as soon as your parcel arrives back at our facility. The items must meet all of our return policies as well.

We recommend checking with your postal service for any updates or to find out what went wrong with the initial delivery attempt.
Could you please DM us your order number and return tracking ID? We’ll take a look and let you know the next steps you should take to send the item back to us correctly. x

If I could give this company a negative…

If I could give this company a negative 1 - I would. Ordered a dress that was not even close to what was portrayed on the website. Paid extra for shipping to get it for my daughters grad event. Asked for complimentary shipping for the return due to such a poor representation of the product. Was asked to give half a dozen photos in different lighting, a picture of the wash tag, the tag etc etc - they played around with me, wasted my time, to say they would not pay for shipping in the end despite how obvious my clear we received a pink dress that portrayed as off white. They would not let me speak to a manager either. To add to the fact that they employ slave labour in the Philippines and have only large breasted perfect models to display there product, and sell their overly priced polyester dresses, don’t waste your time with this company.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about your concern.

All of our items are accurately described on our website, so we always recommend checking the product description for full details before placing an order. Since device screens can vary, colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. This is something we are unable to control, which is why we include the following note in the product description:

"Colour may vary due to lighting on images. The product images (without model) are closest to the true colour of the product."

We believe we’ve found your order, but to be sure, please send us your order number so we can confirm. Based on what we see, you ordered the Seren Soft Pink Floral Lace Back Maxi Dress, which is listed and shown as a pink dress on our website. It is not intended to appear white in any way. If you were looking for a white or off-white version, we would recommend the Seren in Vintage Cream instead.

Of course, you're welcome to return your order for an exchange or refund. As noted on our website, return shipping costs are not covered.

We operate multiple warehouses around the world to support global delivery and returns, including the UK, USA and more. The order is sent from the nearest warehouse that has the item you picked in stock. This helps us provide faster and more sustainable shipping for our international customers.

Could you please reconfirm your order number so we can double-check the colour you purchased? Thank you! x

Horrendous Return Process – Never Again

I precisely followed the return process and even paid €30 for the return. There was no one at the location in Spain to accept the package, so it sat at the pickup location for two weeks. The support team was informed several times, but nothing was done, the holding period expired, and the parcel is now shipped back to me.

I already paid a lot of money, haven’t received any refund yet, and am now stuck with dresses I absolutely do not want. This experience has been incredibly disappointing — I will never order from House of CB again.

Update: tried to send it back the second time with another courier service. Now the address given by House of CB is incorrect and the parcel cannot be delivered again.

Update 2: My parcel is now stuck in spain, the courier demands a spanish phone number, which i don’t have. I paid a lot of money for something i will most likely never get back!

Utterly disappointing don’t bother

Items arrived, awful quality, creased, colours look nothing like the pictures and I felt gross trying them on! Please save your money, they have no right to be charging this much for the disgusting quality

Edit since I cannot reply directly: noted the response focuses only on the part where I mentioned creasing - I wouldn’t have mentioned this in the first place if it was minimal, but I order online all the time and the clothes never arrive this disheveled. I’ve never received clothes in this poor condition that feel like someone wore them to a 24 hour rave and then it was packaged up and sent to me.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out.
It’s quite normal for items to have a few wrinkles after shipping, as they need to be folded to fit into packaging. Some materials are more prone to creasing than others as well, but you should be able to remove them easily with a low heat iron (don't apply direct heat). While we take care to minimize creases, it’s unfortunately impossible to guarantee items will arrive completely wrinkle-free.

All of our products use high-quality materials, and we provide detailed information on our website (product description) to help you choose the right item before placing your order. Please note that colors may appear slightly different depending on the screen settings and display of the device you're using to view the photos on our website.

Please send us your order info when you can, and we’ll be happy to review this further for you.

Update:
Our response was based on the details that we had available in your initial review, for us to be able to look into this further, we'd need that you DM us your order details please. x

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING

I purchased a dress for a charity ball and within 1 hour, I had a gaping hole at the back of my £200 dress which was clearly from faulty fabric. The customer service is absolutely awful, they actually won’t let me exchange my dress or refund anything. I have pictures where you can clearly see there’s a manufacturing fault with the stitching to come undone… DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. I will never buy anything from house of CB ever again after this experience.
