Very good customer service
Very good customer service. Unfortunately my order arrived late due to shipping delays and then one char was damaged. Laura-James responded promptly and arranged to replace the chair and refund me my shipping costs as compensation for the delay. Product otherwise very nice.
One thing after another….
After nearly 3 months since ordering my garden furniture (summer is at an end now so won’t even be able to enjoy it)
I have only received 1 chair out of the 3 I ordered. I received a 2nd parcel only to open it and realise the side legs are missing from the box. I have had nothing but absolute stress and lies from this company. I will never in the rest of my years on gods green earth recommend this absolute joke of a company to any one, not even my worst sworn enemy. Who is running the show here? Is there any quality checks going underway? Why have I received half of a chair? Who’s idea was it to swap warehouses in the middle of the summer when you sell a large quantity of garden furniture? I’m seriously stunned and extremely disappointed, which I didn’t think I could get any more with this company until unboxing half of this chair. Order 789652.

Awful delivery service
Ordered furniture and it gave a 2 month delivery timescale. Pretty awful. But then after 2 months it still hasn’t come and the best customer service could do was say sorry it’s still being prepared.

Atlas dining table arrived and was all damaged. The build quality both on the top and underneath the table was so poor. All marked and not a true reflection what’s on their website. On top of this it arrived late.

The worst experience ever
The worst experience i have ever encountered. I ordered on the 2nd of August delivery was to be between 10th and 17th of August. Around the 20th when I still had no updates I decided to try contact Laura James only to find their phone number listed online is no longer available. I contacted dpd who confirmed they had to return the parcel as Laura James never provided them with my address & eircode! I emailed multiple times and a woman then asked if I would like a refund i said yes she then ignored me for a week!! I emailed the company again and was completely ignored. My refund was just processed- still no correspondence/apology/acknowledgement of the treatment I received as a customer. I understand mistakes can happen when ordering online however that treatment is unacceptable. I urge anyone in Ireland to avoid this company as their if anything was to go wrong, their Irish customer service is non existent! Ive never been treated so badly as a paying customer. I firmly believe a good company has a good customer service team and Laura James customer service is a joke.

Very fast and efficient assistance with rescheduling a delivery by Waheeb.
I ordered a table and chairs on the…
I ordered a table and chairs on the website and the site said delivery next week between 1st-3rd September. I was impressed, that was quick.
After placing the order I got the email below. Trying to make me feel celebratory about the poor level of service provided. No apology, no mention of a new delivery date. No mention of how to contact us to cancel the order or complain. If I treated my customers like this I’d probably be sacked. Why was this not mentioned at the point of sale?
Dear David,
Thank you for your recent order with us. We are writing to share some very exciting news about how we are improving our service to you.
Due to the wonderful support of our customers we have reached a milestone and are opening our own purpose built warehouse. This new space is designed specifically to allow us to provide a much faster and more efficient service for you in the long term.
We are currently in the process of moving our stock into this new facility. While we are trading as usual please be aware that this transition may impact our standard delivery times by a few days. Your order is safe and we are working hard to ensure it reaches you as quickly as possible though it may arrive slightly after the initial date provided at the point of purchase.
We appreciate your patience during this transition and thank you for being part of our journey as we grow. We look forward to delivering a superior experience from our new home very soon.
With warm regards,
The Laura James Team

Still not received my order
I placed an order on 9th August and still haven't received it - given it's bedroom furniture and I'm currently living out of cardboard boxes, I'm not best pleased. I'm hoping I will love the items when they eventually arrive but honestly, had I known they'd take this long, I'd have purchased elsewhere.
I will happily revise the star rating once I receive and build the furniture, but as the delivery date keeps getting extended, I won't hold my breath!
£1500 spent and 5 months wait
Purchased a garden furniture set in May, and we still haven't received the complete order.
A warehouse move was the excuse given by Laura James. We have now missed the summer due to constant delays.
I wish I had trusted my gut and purchased from a reputable organisation like John Lewis

Good Customer Service
Regina was very helpful and polite. She came up with a great solution to my query, which has been outstanding for the past two months.
Thank you.,
Extremely disappointing experience
Extremely disappointing experience
I am currently having extremely poor experience with this company. I placed an order for a table on 1 August, and as of 28 August, it still has not been delivered.
I have tried contacting the company on multiple occasions by email, WhatsApp, and phone. Most of the time my messages are ignored, or I am told that the delivery company has my order and that delivery is imminent.
Today, I contacted the delivery company directly, and they told me they have not yet received my order from Laura James. However, when I called Laura James' customer service, I was told that the table would either be delivered today or within the next few days because the courier supposedly already had it. This completely contradicts what the courier has told me.
I feel like I am constantly being given conflicting information instead of honest updates. All I want is the table I paid for, but after nearly a month of waiting and repeatedly chasing for answers, I have completely lost confidence in this company.
Can someone at Laura James please help resolve this and provide a truthful update on my order?
Based on my experience, I would never order from this company again.
