Avoid – Refuse to refund lost returns despite proof of postage

I’m incredibly frustrated with Senkels. I returned Order #58893 two months ago, providing full proof of postage and photos of the package.

Despite following all procedures, they refuse to refund me because they claim the item hasn't reached them. Under consumer protection guidelines (Consumer Rights Act), the retailer is responsible for items lost in transit once the customer provides proof of dispatch. Instead of my money back, they offered a useless discount code.

Since I challenged this "final resolution," the company has stopped responding to my emails entirely. I am now forced to escalate this through a bank chargeback and report them to Trading Standards for their refusal to honor my legal refund rights.

We're sorry to hear about your frustration, and we understand how disappointing this experience must be. We never want a customer to feel unheard, so we'd like to offer some clarity on this matter.

We take returns very seriously and have a straightforward process in place to ensure they run smoothly. In this case, the item unfortunately never arrived back at our warehouse. While we appreciate that a postal receipt was provided, it did not include any tracking information, which means neither we nor the carrier can confirm the parcel was dispatched to us or verify its journey. A receipt of postage alone, without trackable proof of delivery, doesn't allow us to locate or confirm a return.

This is exactly why we always recommend using a tracked return service. It protects both our customers and us by providing a clear chain of custody. Without tracking, we simply aren't able to process a refund for a package we have no record of receiving.

That said, as a gesture of goodwill, our team did offer a discount toward a future order. Not as a replacement for your rights, but as an acknowledgment of the situation while working within the limits of what we could verify.

We absolutely have not ignored any correspondence. If there are outstanding emails, we'd encourage you to reach out to us again and we'll be happy to revisit this with you directly.

We value every customer and always aim to find a fair resolution.

Finally received my order.

Received my order after loong time

Ordered two pairs of laces mid-December 2025, but didn’t receive anything. Senkels has kindly answered my mails, and confirmed the order, and replied that it has been shipped. They also did resend the laces.

But didn’t receive it.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026

I finally received the laces! They are very nice at fit my shoes very well. I would recommend them. But I hope it goes a bit faster next time..

Hi Silas,
very sorry that you haven't received your shoelaces.

I just looked into your order and can see that we have already created a replacement order for your, which is in production right now and will be shipped today/tomorrow.

Best regards

I love my new purple laces

I love my new purple laces, they are such good quality. The only negative experience I would say I had was the lack of description on the website of processing time and how long the laces take to make. Because its a niche product I think people have a warped idea of the length of time it takes to make this product (myself included) and I nearly dropped a message because it had been two weeks and I hadn't heard anything, but then they got sent that day. Also, shop tracking is pretty unreliable, on the day I received my laces the tracking was still on "shipping label created" which really doesn't reflect well on the company - even though its not their problem , but apart from those two point I am really happy with the service and love the vibrant range of colours.

False advertising!

Pathetic excuse for a business. They advertise free shipping to all countries when you purchase two pairs of laces. But when you go to check out, they charge you for shipping! I notified them of this and they STILL refuse to provide free shipping on my order. I’ll never shop there again.

Very Bad: defect product, no reimbursement

I sent back my order because it arrived broken, they said they never received it. I sent DHL proofs, and they disappeared and never replied again.

Hi Hadrien,

I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with our product.

Could you clarify what you mean by "broken"? You ordered 2 pairs of shoelaces, so the word "broken" does not make sense in this context.

I just looked into your case, and ultimately, we never received your return. The label you sent us as confirmation of your return does not show any tracking information, and combining these two facts, we are unable to refund your order.

I understand that you might be disappointed, but we are simply unable to issue refunds without receiving our products back.

I would be very happy to provide you with a discount code as an offer from my side, in case you would like to order another color, form, or length.

Best regards,
Team Senkels

Not what promised

I ordered items with a total cost of more than 90€ that qualified for free shipping. At the time of checking out, there was an indication that shipping will be free of cost.

After receipt of the purchase through post, I got a bill from fedex, totaling 31€, to pay for the shipping costs.

I tried to contact the company regarding the issue, utilizing all the available emails they provide, but with no answers.

Patience is rewarded with excellence

A few points up front, don't order laces from here and expect them to arrive the next day. They are made to order and, like anything bespoke, they reward patience. Order them to have in as stock and then don't worry about how long it takes for them to arrive. But, when they do, they are absolutely fantastic. I have a mix of styles and colours - round laces for my country shoes and flat for my city shoes. All look and feel fantastic. I will soon order another batch for the cupboard and will only use these laces from now on.

Product arrived: divine pleasure full of positive emotions :-)

Again I ordered from my favorite laces provider.
Different thickness of laces.
As usual everything about the ordering process was perfect. Product promptly shipped but not yet arrived so no more to add at this time :-)
Product arrived and is even more beautiful than my previous buy due to a different choice of Aglets material/color.
However wonderful my shoes/boots are these laces become the striking element of the total shoe, making each time of wearing a divine pleasure full of positive emotions :-)

Avoid at all costs.

Don't bother with this "company" if you're ordering internationally. Never got my order. They did reimburse me, but after about 4 months of consistent emails. Piss poor customer service and they somehow don't know how to deliver outside of the EU.

Hi Jay, thank you for sharing your opinion.

What surprises us, is that you are blaming us for an undelivered order caused by you, entering an incomplete address!
We paid for the initial shipment to you AND the shipping back to the EU, but still refunded you the complete order.

Plenty of customers from the states order and appreciate our products, the difference might be that they are able to correctly enter their address when placing an order.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Poor Quality

The laces were very expensive but snapped within six weeks on shoes which only worn occasionally. Very poor quality. No response from Senkels.

Hi Guy, sorry to hear that your shoelaces snapped early.
I just sent you a reply via mail.

Unfortunately, you have decided to use our thinnest, most formal pair of shoelaces with running shoes, obviously creating a mismatch between your needs and the product you ordered.

I have sent you a mail to find a solution with you.

Best regards

Scammer

No tracking number, no item was received and no one answered the several emails that I sent in and via the request form. And they advertise themself as luxury.

It's been 3 weeks and I still have not received my order.

Please avoid this place and report.

I have ordered 2 times at Senkels

I have ordered 2 times at Senkels, the same product both times:
1st time: I accidentally wrote the wrong address, tried to write a message to customer support but they did not get back to me.
2nd time: I actually received the product but the shoelaces look waaay smaller(thinner) than what they do on the website. Want to return but then I NEED TO PAY the return freight and PRINT OUT a return form?!?! What is this 1950s?
Also, the website has such poor UX. Won’t buy from here again.
