When I shop online I like it clear
When I shop online I like it clear, simple and quick. You achieved all, thank you!
I love this shop so much!
I love this shop so much! I found them while in Dublin a few years ago and knew from that experience how friendly and helpful they are. Therefore, it was an easy choice to order the Orla Kiely bags I love so much from them! They always pack with care and ship very quickly. The bag itself is beautiful with all the details I expect from Orla.
Great sales

It was so easy finding the right birthday gift for my daughter. Also very hard deciding what I wanted to purchase! The Enibas bracelet is beautiful and she loved it! Thank you
Great website lacking wrapping option
Great website. I was looking for a gift and there were so many options.
Marked down a star because I wasn’t offered a gift wrapping option and couldn’t find any way to select it, which is a massive downfall when in store the wrapping is always special. This would urge me to shop in store rather than on the website.

The colour of the Rivake Mens fleece didnt match the photo online. Much lighter than the online photo.....not what I was expecting
Inflexible…
Mistakenly ordered wrong number of item and could not update order.. so paid two delivery charges when combined would have been free. Orders placed within minutes if each other and combining was not entertained by customer care rep. Very Very disappointing!
The Kilkenny Design website was very easy to search and order on.
The Kilkenny Design website was very easy to navigate and to order from.
And my order arrived very promptly and efficiently.

Great service with online shopping but delivery by An Post not great
Customer service extremely poor
Customer service extremely poor.
I originally got the wrong order,
then was told it wasn't it stock,
then was told it could be ordered,
then arranged to collect it myself in store to save the headache,
first was told the store was holding on to it for me,
then was told the store did not have it in stock,
the incorrect order was due to be collected last thursday and it was not collected until Friday (*lucky I was home),
then one part of my order came,
I reached out to say my Stanley never arrived.
Eventually got the wrong color in the end and just kept it as I coudlnt be bothered reaching out again
Great shopping experience
Compliments to the lovely staff at the Kilkenny shop in Cork city. It's always a pleasure to visit. Calm and friendly shopping.
online Kilkenny shop would not add gift…
online Kilkenny shop would not add gift tag. They would not send or divide three presents to same address separately. They could not wrap. The Manager just said "we are too busy". Maybe for one present it's ok but three presents to one address they can't deal with.The Manager wouldn't let me esculate or send feedback. I wasn't given the Directors email. My email was ignored.
Painfully slow delivery
Painfully slow delivery. Way beyond estimated standard delivery times. I’ve had items ordered from the US, shipped, customs cleared and delivered in half the time.
Terrible communication
I ordered a birthday present to be delivered in Dublin. I received no notifications or communication. I chased my order up only to be told they had an issue with the stock levels on their website and 2 of the 3 items I ordered were not available. I have no problem with items not being available but the communication has been very poor.
Absolutely shocking online order…
Absolutely shocking online order service and zero replies on queries. 16 days after ordering and no sign of order and no replies to emails from them. First and last time using them.

ZERO customer service
I have purchased many times with no problem. However, when there is a problem you can't talk to anyone, well other than an outsourced telephone service that only takes messages! I have asked multiple times to get a call back, nothing! Only an AI Bot called Laura who is beyond useless! A broken item has now been accepted as norm, as after a week of conversing with 'Laura' I am ready to rub raw onion's in my eyes!!! My last email explaining I was going to write this review was replied with Great, have a nice Weekend!!! So if any human in KS would like to call me to explain why on Wednesday you could not book a courier to collect your faulty item as they were too busy, but offered again to book a courier that is too busy to collect before refunding me on Friday, I would welcome the chat. Otherwise, this company has ZERO customer service and I will not be using them again
Additional TAX paid to Courier before delivery
I had to pay the courier another £79 in taxes before my order could be delivered to the UK.
My order was over £135 and so apparently I had to pay additional tax which was not highlighted to me when I purchased the item on line.
I had of course already paid tax on the goods. I was disappointed with the poor communication by KD. I would have ordered less than £135 if I had been advised of this criteria.

Ordered a charm on November 28th still not received and it’s December 5th. Tried calling customer service and no one returns calls!! Emailed loads and no response . First time ordering and it will certainly be the last
