Bad quality items
The quality of the things we got in the UniKit is really bad, especially considering how much you pay for it. The pillows are worth absolutely nothing, and give no support whatsoever.
The tea towels leave behind small particles of dust on your dishes, even after washing them a couple of times.
The duvet set barely fit the items that come with it, especially the duvet cover which is just too small for the duvet and keeps falling off.
The hook we got was useless as well and could not hold up anything, not even a towel.
The plates/cutlery/pans are okay, nothing special. However, one of the pan's coating wore away extremely quick.
When I recieved my UniKit, there were even some stains on the things I recieved (which I made pictures of, if proof is needed.)
The only reason you should get this is because of the convenience-- but I would suggest just going to the IKEA instead because the quality of the items versus the price is just not worth it.

Quality of cooking appliances are poor
Quality of cooking appliances are poor, the pots and pans rust too quickly after only a few uses. Delivery was too difficult as they have to hand the parcel in person, delivery got delayed many times even when I was already waiting for it at the designated place and time, ended up having to buy my own tools since the kit came in too late due to the delay

Hi Fatin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I’ve tried reaching out via email on the 3rd and 5th March in the hope we can resolve this together but I haven’t received a response.
I’m sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the pans you purchased. Our kitchen kits and cooking utensils are supplied into the UKs largest student accommodations and most popular and recognised holiday resorts so it saddens me you find the quality below par.
We proudly offer a 100% money-back guarantee and encourage customers to contact us if there's anything they're not satisfied with. Any further feedback you could share would be incredibly valuable for us to ensure our products meet expectations in the future.
Regarding the delivery, I’m sure you can appreciate that DPD cannot simply leave boxes unattended, as that would risk them going missing. Unfortunately, it appears that each time they attempted delivery, no one was available at reception to accept the parcel on your behalf. It’s disappointing UniKitOut has been penalised for something beyond our control.
Please don't hesitate to reply to my emails if you wish to discuss further.
Take care,
Emma
Convenient but terrible quality for the price
The program and system is good in theory; however, there are many more things to work on. I appreciated how simple it was to order online and find suitable kits for my needs. One issue was that the quality of the items were terrible. From the sheets to the kitchenware, everything had such low quality even for the price. I was able to find cheaper prices and better quality elsewhere. My order had a missing item, but the customer service team did a good job of sending it to me later.

Hi Adetola,
After liaising with you over the past couple of weeks, I wanted to kindly confirm that the issue you raised regarding your bedlinen has been resolved and that compensation has been received. No kitchen items were purchased. I trust that you are now satisfied with the service provided by UniKitOut.
Take care,

Convenient, but doesn't have everything you need
It's definitely worth it if you want convenience. When I arrived at my dorm, the package was already in my room. The quality of the products is not great, but they get the job done. In hindsight, though, I feel like the bedding is really the only thing I NEEDED, the kitchen and towel set I should've gotten at a store. My issue is that I was looking mostly at the pictures of the kits to see what was in there, so I was mislead, since it only says in the fineprint that you get 3 towels, not the 4 depicted, for example. The standard kitchen kit also doesn't come with anything you need for baking a simple cake, it was even missing the baking tray, so it's useful for cooking, but I still had to run to the store for the rest.

Hi Ida,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
I’m glad to hear that the convenience of having your package ready in your dorm was helpful. However, I’m sorry that some aspects of the kits didn’t fully meet your expectations. We strive to provide a range of essentials to suit different student needs and budgets. Having worked with over 300 student accommodations for nearly a decade, we understand that some accommodations provide more than others, which is why we offer flexible options—such as standalone bedding or kitchen kits alongside our complete kits.
In 2020, we introduced a limited-edition baking kit, and while it's no longer part of our standard range, some essentials are still available in our sale section.
We really appreciate your feedback regarding product descriptions and imagery. Accuracy and transparency is very important to us, and we’d love the opportunity to improve. If you could reach out to our customer service team at sales@unikitout.com with your order details, we’d be happy to review the contents, descriptions, and images of the items you received.
Wishing you all the best,
Emma

Products sold may be a little more pricey compared to what’s available outside. However, it provides convenience all the way to your accommodation. Highly recommend to get all the necessities such as pillow, knife, through UniKitOut. It’s really beneficial especially for international students.

Terrible quality
Terrible quality of bedsheets and pillow covers. Rough material, loads of lint upon first wash, and the material makes it stink up really easily even after wash. Get them somewhere else because these weren't particularly cheap either.

I can only speak on the pillows
I can only speak on the pillows, bedsheets and duvet, but the quality is way too low for the price. You can find better quality products for the same or for a lower price in most stores. I absolutely do not recommend.

Hi Paola,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I’ve tried reaching out via email on the 6th and 12th of February but haven’t received a response. I’m sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the duvet, pillow and sheet you purchased. Your feedback is really valuable to us so I’d appreciate it if you could reply to my email with more details so I can better understand your concerns.
Just to clarify, we invest significant time and resources into market research to ensure our prices are highly competitive (and more convenient) than local high street stores. In fact, UniKitOut was even featured on BBC One’s Shop Well for Less!
Hope to hear from you,
Emma

A little pricier but super convenient. Recommend!
Coming to university from outside London, it was really helpful and convenient to order a self-designed kit ahead of time for UniKitOut. Had all the basic essentials needed on move-in day, which made arrival and the following days virtually stress free.

Hi Shrinidhi,
I'm sorry to read your review and to hear about your experience.
I reached out to you via email on December 2nd regarding the issue with your pan and towel, hoping we could work through it together, but I haven’t received a reply yet.
We proudly offer a 100% money-back guarantee and encourage customers to contact us if there's anything they're not satisfied with.
Any feedback you could share would be incredibly valuable for us to ensure our products meet expectations in the future.
The luxury bath towel you purchased is made from 100% organic cotton and is supplied into some of the UK's most luxurious establishments. Our pan sets are supplied into student & nursing accommodations across the UK and recognised holiday resorts so it saddens me you find the quality of these items below par.
If you're able to get in touch or reply to my email, it would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Emma
