Poor quality goods and customer service.

Have bought a lot of stuff from them in the past and always felt the quality of service and goods was good. Having been saturated with catalogues this year I bought some trousers and a cardigan. Cardigan fine but trousers poor quality & wrong size. Returned trousers but no response or refund. Will not shop at chums again. Suggest more trained staff, less marketing and easier means of contact (13p a minute phone calls).

Very poor service

Ordered a mobility aid on 23rd Sept
It arrived on 15th October
Sadly on this occasion chums have failed miserably
My product arrived on the same day as the new Autumn catalogue which I usually browse through and order goods It is safe to say it went straight into my recycle bin Sorry chums but something appears to have gone terribly wrong with the company and service provided

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs, absolute joke of a company, sorry I can’t give a 0 score. Order placed for delivery - which was delivered to a completely different address for some reason, to wait 5 days for someone to bother to reply is a joke. I’m now 2 weeks in since the order was placed, no goods received and still no refund, they are now saying the delivery was made to the correct address which is over 30 miles away from where it should have been delivered to. Had to make a dispute claim via my bank now. Shambolic customer service.

I was due 2 refunds of £20 each

I was due 2 refunds of £20 each. Was accused of not returning items until I emailed them the return tracking details from Evry. Even then only ever received one refund of £20 and because of their incompetence I have given up and told them if they ever find where they sent the aledged second refund to they can give it to a charity of their choice but I will never purchase anything from Chums ever again. Shockingly poor and incompent customer service team.

Slow to dispatch

Slow to dispatch. Conflicting information on website, ie delivery 3-5 days, then once ordered email stated dispatch 3-5 days. Arrived 8 days after order.

Since I ordered from Chums have been swamped with spam emails.

Way back in April I posted the order…

Way back in April I posted the order form for 2 nightdresses and 2 bras with a cheque for 45.00.
The cheque was cashed by Chums on the 6th May 2025 but no order had arrived.
We are now middle of October 2025 and still nothing despite writing asking either for goods or refund of 45.00.
They completely ignore letters.
A friend of mine said she wished id never ordered as she had experienced returning a pair of trousers and trying to get a refund. It cost her over 8.00 in phone calls before finally getting her money back.
Having now read all the reviews I'm seeing how disgusting this company is.
Please do not have anything to do with them and throw that nasty little catalogue that's tucked into TV magazines straigh into the bin where it belongs

Delivery is awful!

My second order with this company. My first was OK, it arrived fairly quickly, so I thought I would send in another order as I am updating my wardrobe. I usually use other online companies, but Chums sell the trousers my husband wears.

What a mistake! One part of my order has arrived, but where is the second??? Their delivery is so slow! On the same day as I ordered from them, I sent in an order to two other companies and the parcels arrived within two days. I just looked on their website and it says that delivery can take up to 28 days! Hopefully my husband's trousers will arrive at some point, but this will be my last order.

awful

After two weeks, I still haven’t received my order. I never even got an order confirmation email — it feels like nothing was processed at all. I’m honestly questioning what kind of business this is. At this point, I’m just dreading the refund process, because if this is how they handle orders, I’m not confident I’ll ever see my money back. Extremely disappointed.

Awful company to deal with

Awful company to deal with. Took payment through PayPal and never sent confirmation of order. Happy to take my money and then claimed no order was placed. Lucky enough I used PayPal to get money back
