Dear Lynne,

Many thanks for your review, and for your custom. We greatly appreciate that you’ve chosen to shop with us.

We are sorry to hear about this issue with your order, to confirm we use recycled boxes and paper inside our orders to reduce our carbon foot print.

I will pass along your comments to management.

Best wishes,
Gordons Direct

First time ordering from Gordon and…

First time ordering from Gordon and will be the last time. Arrived with missing items. I received a refund for the missing items after a number of e-mails . Feel so annoyed with the customer service. I was not refunded straight away it took a few days. I didn’t want a refund I wanted the items I had paid for, but was not even given the option.

Dear Ruth,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.

Please accept our apologies again for the missing items.

After you reported the items missing we refunded you on the exact same day and we did it on our second email correspondence with you after we asked you to please check if the box had been tampered with in our first reply (As this may unfortunately happen in transit.)

Unfortunately we were not able to send you on the items which was why we refunded you, please accept our apologies for this and the refund does take a couple of working days to show on your bank account as it was issued on a Friday.

We trust the refund found you safe and well.

Best wishes,
Charlotte | Gordons Direct

Impressed new customer

Im always dubious about purchasing from a brand I've not heard of before but I was very impressed with the service I received from Gordons. My parcel was packed well and arrived on time. Everything in my order was correct.
