Impossible to locate a website to view products on. Therefore, it has not been possible to order anything. Despite having once featured in World of Interiors,they seem to have disappeared.

Hey Sarah,

We don't seem to have any emails from you. Of course, we would have helped if a customer let us know their order had not arrived. I have issued you a full refund for the ice cream spoon this morning.

Thanks
Adam

Dropshipped and overpriced!!!!

I have negatively reviewed this company before on a different TripAdvisor page. It appears they're using a new one since then. I can't speak on whether it was to hide my review or not, but either way that was the result and I would like to keep the people informed of this company.

Reverse image search any of the listings on the website and you will find it on AliExpress for far, far cheaper. It will be the same product and the same quality, as I have proof that this company sends the products straight from AliExpress or other dropshipping websites.

You are paying for them to use AliExpress for you. This company charges exorbitant prices for products that are not high in quality, are not regulated, and may legitimately be unsafe for use.

This review is relevant as I have gone to the website and can confirm that the items are still listed on both House of Bloc AND AliExpress.

Please note: I did not spam anything. I commented once on their social media and got blocked so I went to their live chat to communicate with the company. Talk about defamatory.

Hi,

I don't know who you are or what your intentions are but please leave our business and our employees alone. You have been harassing us in November 2023!!

You use fake email addresses to harass our employees on live chat, spam our social media and leave defamatory reviews.

You have never ordered from us but seem to have nothing better to do than speak on our business.

We have shipped 10,000's of orders this year to all corners of the world and we have had no issues with any products being unsafe or breaking any regulations.

We have worked with the BBC, ITV, Netflix, Good Housekeeping, Elle and more in the last year.

Please find something better to do with your time than being an internet troll.

All the best.

Poor quality items

Poor quality items, purchased some floor cushions that bobbled and easily ripped. Customer service is totally inept and refused to acknowledge the issues. In retrospect the site doesn’t post reviews.

Hi Roxani,

The cushions have some light bobbling after four months and we would be happy to replace them. There was no mention of any ripping in our email conversation with you.

Thanks

Balloon Dog ornament

Balloon Dog ornament, arrived a little battered( the box in which packaged)
All was well inside, and I love it. Quick delivery too. Just had a bumpy ride with the courier 😊

Horrible communication

Horrible communication, product was never shipped. I'd recommend you order elsewhere, also still waiting on my refund.

Hey Brigitte,

You placed your order while we were closed for the Christmas break. The emails you sent received our out-of-office reply stating this and when we would be back.

We could not refund the order as you had already opened a PayPal case - we explained this to you. You closed it and Wendy processed the refund straight away for you.

We had hundreds of orders over the festive break - we did our best to put measures in place to explain we would be taking some time off and every other customer was fine with this.

Cocktails and Dreams? Sure!

My teenager is trying to turn her bedroom into an 80s time capsule, and I was looking for some home décor with a difference to help her on her quest! She is pretty “discerning” (read, fussy!) about exactly what she wanted and I though I’d never find it, especially in time for Christmas but then I stumbled upon House of Bloc!! The neon “Cocktails & Dreams” sign looked even better than I’d hoped for (but unfortunately for me did not come with Tom Cruise á la Cocktail)!! I ordered a week or so before Christmas with no hope of it arriving, but it was delivered really quickly all ready for the big day! Also, when the second part of my order seemingly went astray, HoB were super friendly and helpful in offering to look into it, even though embarrassingly the problem was me not looking hard enough (although Yodel, IN the hedge?? So safe I couldn’t see it!!) Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend House of Bloc: the items I ordered are great value and high quality and super cool, I have a happy teenager and I can’t wait to order some more!

Hey Louisa,

The product is cheap looking

The product is cheap looking, looks barely like the photos and is giving temu quality.

I bought a rug and it looks like it’s been printed on as the underneath is white. It’s also not rug material.

Also had a weird chemical smell and took 15 days to arrive - so probably a drop shipping company.

Faultless customer service

Wendy and Adam helped me on numerous occasions. Firstly, Wendy retrospectively applied a discount code that was missed off my initial order. Secondly Adam raised a replacement order when my parcel got lost in the Evri supply chain. Amazing customer service; I really appreciated everything you did to help me get my order in time for Christmas. Thank you both.

Item exactly as described

Item exactly as described, came early and when I had an issue accessing the tracking number they replied quickly and gave me the direct tracking link. Very satisfied and would order again.

Disappointing lack of clarity on delivery timing

I recently placed an order with House of Bloc for 2 of their teddy armchairs.. (intended for Xmas presents) but my experience has been far from satisfactory. The main issue stems from their lack of transparency about delivery times. Their website offers no clear information about when to expect my order, and on querying this with their customer service team, have been told that the terms of delivery are on the website (there are no clear descriptors for their larger items)

When I reached out to their customer service team for clarification, the response was underwhelming. There was no acknowledgment of my concern or any attempt to provide specific details about my order’s whereabouts. Instead, I received generic responses that did nothing to alleviate my frustration.

Clear communication and transparency are basic expectations when shopping online, and unfortunately, House of Bloc fell short on both fronts. I would hesitate to order from them again.

Hey Tania,

I understand how frustrating it is when Christmas presents don't arrive but this review feels a little unfair.

It clearly states on the listing for these chairs that the delivery time is 6-8 weeks and your order was only placed 12 days ago. We show all delivery times in the green boxes right next to the 'Add To Cart' button so that all customers know exactly how long their items are going to take.

We explained all of this to you via email.

Thanks
Adam
