Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Many people are satisfied with the quality and design of the products, often receiving compliments when wearing them. The ordering process is generally smooth, and some users have had positive experiences with customer support regarding order issues. However, a significant number of people are dissatisfied with the return and refund policy.

Don't trust them (refunds)

Everything was ok until the point of returning and refunding. I returned two items from separate orders about 6-8 weeks ago and did not receive my refunds. Luckily it's all tracked via logging into my account as I wouldn't know where to find my tracking receipt.
To be fair, they were easy to contact and replied quickly, then refunded quickly. One misses refund I could get over, but not two. Feels pretty dodgy.

Won’t order from them again…

I am due 3 refunds and it’s taking forever, I had to message them, then received an email that the refunds had been processed but they have not been received at my bank. Went on their chat and am told it could take another 5 days depending on my bank. However my bank tells me it is the sender of the refund that is holding the release of the funds and they are still only in pending. Trying to get out of refunding initially and then delaying it as much as possible. Also deduct postage amounts for 3 items separately even though they are all from the same order and in same bag.

Used to order regularly from this…

Used to order regularly from this company but this is the last time I shall do so. Returns received 24th August. It’s now 16th September- outside of their so called 14 working day refund timescales. Tried chatbot and that’s next to useless. Avoid!
UPDATE: Reply from Silk Fred says refund now issued. I’ve had no email confirmation of this and my card hasn’t been credited so currently taking this with a pinch of salt.

Poor experience

This is my second time and last time using SilkFred. Customer service were very unhelpful, I was sent the wrong tracking number for one parcel and they did not help at all. The website did not make it clear that my order would be send in 5 separate parcels and that you have to pay the return postage for each parcel. If I had known this from the start, I wouldn’t have ordered from them. You also have to have a printer for the returns which is very inconvenient. The clothes themselves vary in quality and sizing and it took weeks for the refunds to be processed. I won’t be using them again

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. SilkFred is an online marketplace partnering with independent brands. Some items may ship from our warehouse, while others come directly from the brands, which is why you may receive multiple parcels and shipping confirmations. This also means that returns go directly back to these brands too.

We know our return process could be smoother, and we’re always working on ways to improve it. We hope to introduce QR codes soon to make returns even easier.- Faye@silkfred

Appalling refunds process

All the items online look really nice, what I received doesn’t match the quality as advertised.
Returns process and wait times are archaic and appalling. Silkfred deal with many brands so if your items are from multiple brands you have to return them individually and get charged for each item. From confirmation of Silkfred receiving my returns I waited 15 working days and still no refund. I contacted customer service who said my refund has now been processed. It’s like they wait for you to contact them before refunding in the hope that you will forget it would seem. Such a poor refund service I won’t be using Silkfred again. Other companies issue your refund as soon as evri collect your package, they really need to do better.

Shoddy returns…

Beautiful clothes but shoddy returns processing. I get the distinct impression they deliberately hold back processing returns until they are chased, in hope the customer forgets!

Return and refund issues

Quality and fit were good .. having to return one item was long and inconvenient unless you opt for store credit. The refund took an unnecessarily long time. I most probably wont order again because of this.
