If I could give no stars I would

If I could give no stars I would. Utterly despicable customer service, no contact numbers whatsoever and no email replies. Ordered shoes a month ago, stated on the tracking they were "shipped" but never arrived and clearly not shipped. Enquiries with the manufacturer confirms the shoe is out of stock, but Barratts have taken my money and will not respond to refund or return or offer alternative. Never buy from this company.

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking. Firstly sent me the wrong size I ordered 5 and sent 4.
Then eventually got a prepaid return label.Returned to me by royal mail as address unknown. Promised a refund multiple times when replied to days later now 3 months later no refund amd stuck with a pair of boots which were sent to me in the incorrect size by Barratts. None of this my fault now being completely ignored.

Can’t return items!

Products are fine, however I ordered 2 sizes for fit, and wanted to return one pair. I contacted customer services 9 times before I received a returns label (was told person dealing with my query had left). I attached the returns label and sent back via the post office. 5 days later the package was delivered back to me ‘addressee unknown’ - have now contacted them again - the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced!

Very poor customer service

Ordered two pairs of boots on the 27th Jan 26. They were too small so tried to start a return the same day. Emails were ignored due to staffing issues. Continually chasing for returns label. Eventually sent them back. Have waited two weeks since they confirmed receipt of my order (I had to email them). They stated refund in 5 working days - still waiting Will have to do a charge back. No problem with items if they fit but it’s a risk if you need to do a return. Very poor customer service - avoid.

Truly terrible. AVOID

Bought 2 pairs of shoes as I wasn't sure of their sizing.
I've been trying to return the unworn pair for 2 weeks now and cannot get a return label. I've had a look on their Ts and Cs and was alarmed to see that a return needs to be accepted before you'll get the return paperwork. I've emailed customer service several times and nobody seems capable of emailing me what is a really simple request.
I have never dealt with such a terrible company. I'm currently stuck with a pair of shoes that are too small, that the company who supplied them don't want to accept back and no other way to start the returns process.
AVOID.

Product not delivered & refund not paid

I ordered some Boots from Barratt's online store. Unfortunately the product didn't arrive even though it was marked as delivered.

When I contacted Customer Service they said they were having a poor service from Evri, who delivered their products, but that they had changed back to using Royal Mail & did I want to wait for the product to be delivered by them.

I still wanted the product so asked for a timeframe when I could expect delivery; no timeframe was ever communicated so I changed my mind & asked for a refund.

Barratt's said they had refunded my monies but there was no evidence of this either so I asked them to send me a payment reference as proof.

They were unable to provide any evidence after repeated requests so I contacted my bank for a chargeback.

After receiving the chargeback Barratt's were able to show me that they had initiated a refund - the monies never made it to my account but I do believe they genuinely tried to address my complaint.

NEVER ORDER FROM HERE!!!!!

I have ordered a pair of shoes last week on Tuesday, order tracking is still saying preparing for delivery. It’s now been 6 working days and a whole weekend, today is Wednesday. I have messaged so many times and sent emails, no answer or anything. I need the shoes urgently as my feet are in pain due to plantar fasciitis. Had I known all this was to happen, I would have ordered direct from the hush puppies website. This is the first time I’ve ordered, and I’m extremely disappointed. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE EVER!

Chris Matthews from Barratt Home is great

I recently moved into a Barratts Home in Basinsgtoke and although I am tad concerned about the standards used in building new houses, I must admit that the onsite team were fabulous in helping me acclimatise to the new house and I have a special mention for the onsite manager - Chris Matthews who has been massively helpful and endearing for all the property owners here. His affable nature and calm under duress is exemplary.
No wonder Barratts are a top residential development companies.
Thanks Chris and good luck at Chersey.

Won't take returns

May-June 2016
Bought a pair of boots. They arrived no problem. Were too small. Tried to send back. First via the free courier service. About a week later I received an email from the courier service saying they were no longer working with Barratts and would return the boots to me. So tried returning boots via registered post. Returned again one week later with the message from the post service that Barratts returns office had been vacated Emailed Barratts. No response. called Barratts. Always the same message: All operators busy try again later. There's no way they should still be selling shoes but I see their website is still up and running - avoid!

No response to any communications!

Disgraceful!! Tried to contact through website, no response. Sent 3 emails, no response. Tried to call telephone numbers, no answer. Sent letter, returned as addressee gone away. Will be contacting trading standards and credit card company.
How can they still trade?
Update 16/6/16 I have sine found out that the company Direct Consumer Ltd who trade as Barratt Shoes have gone into voluntary liquidation, so no chance of any response, replacements or refunds.

Unable to get refund

Ordered two sets of shoes & matching handbags, but they were not suitable, I returned as detailed on website. One month after returning the items I have not received acknowledgement of return,(tracking number showed that they were received 20/05/16) no refund, no replies to my emails or unable to speak to anyone on the phone. I now have no other option but to contact my bank/credit card company to find out my next course of action! Only order from this company it you are 100% sure you will want to keep your order!

NO REFUND BARRAT SHOES

This company do not refund though their terms and conditions say they do. They do not reply to emails, nor do they answer telephones. I have now opened a case with Trading Standards. My recommendation is do not shop with this company.
