Platform offers no protection when things go wrong

This review is not just about a seller, but about Not On The High Street’s handling of customer complaints.

I ordered a personalised Christmas gift in good time. The item arrived late and was not personalised at all, despite being advertised and sold as such. After repeated attempts to resolve this directly with the seller, I contacted Not On The High Street for support.

I was told they would not assist and that I had to deal with the seller myself, despite clear evidence that the item was not as described and that the seller had been slow to respond. At no point did NOTHS step in to mediate or offer meaningful consumer protection.

What is particularly disappointing is that I was not sent a Feefo review link for this order. This feels very convenient, given that customers are only invited to leave reviews in certain circumstances. Platforms that cherry-pick feedback do not present a balanced or honest picture of customer experience.

That is why I’m grateful to Trustpilot for allowing open, transparent reviews without filtering out negative experiences.

Based on my experience, if something goes wrong with an order, you are largely on your own, regardless of how well documented the issue is. I would think very carefully before ordering personalised or time-sensitive gifts through this platform.

Fabulous

Not once have Not On The High Street or any of the sellers I have ordered from ever let me down. I have shopped with them since the beginning. I have had so many bad experiences in the past 2 years, this year being the worse, with big companies not fulfilling their orders or living up to their own mandates. Customer service for big companies no longer exists in the Uk for online shopping, which is distressing given the state of our town centres. I have not been able to interact with a single real person in the last 3 weeks. The only successful and error free service I have had this year has been with Not On The High Street and they deserve a shoutout. Thank you for caring about your customers

If I could give a negative I most certainly would. I paid £60 for a personalised sweatshirt for Xmas with the delivery time of 5 days. 29 days later I have not received anything and despite several emails to customer services have not had any response. I’m now going to have to do a claim back from my bank to recover my money and try and find an alternative item.

Avoid at all costs.

Pug candles

I have to say if I read the reviews I probably wouldn’t have ordered but I can honestly say the pug candles I have received are absolutely beautiful and I have now ordered and received 3 of them and all 3 are perfect one is for a gift and I know my daughter will be as pleased as me so don’t take to much notice of the reviews try yourself 🙂

On my previous review I gave them a one star, I eventually got my order delivered thanks to Ellis at their customer service.
I would have given them a five star if it wasn’t the service I got from the post office delivery, they gave me dates when they would deliver only to be let down.
