I ordered (Nancy & Betty Studio) Christmas crackers. They were nice but one of the six crackers had no notion in it, which, for the overall price was rather a swindle.

When I wrote a review, Not On the High Street never replied.

Great curious good quality gifts

This is the 2nd time I've bought gifts/items from Not on the High street (25/7/2023 & 26/2/2026)and on both occasions I've needed some information on my purchases and when I've written to them they have replied promptly and been very helpful and friendly. Their items are good quality items and beautifully designed and crafted. I would definitely shop from them again.

I had an issue with an item I purchased. Its the first time I've had to return something. Fortunately Marine was at hand to deal with it immediately. Its the level of customer service I appreciate, and have come to expect from Not On The High Street.

I ordered an item ( not yet arrived)

I ordered an item ( not yet arrived)
I was offered a 10% discount and to join the NOTHS member club which I thought was free but was actually £10 a year
I joined thinking it was free and although it was my mistake I contacted NOTHS and was told the £10 members fee is non refundable!!!

Now they have asked me for feedback so here it is
Very unhappy and surprised at the lack of help and understanding from this company.

Always easy and great gifts to choose from

My experience is always easy, efficient and timely delivery.
The gifts are good quality, a little expensive, but a good selection to choose from.
Follow up with delivery and any issues is always prompt and helpful.

bad customer service

My order arrived with the wrong fittings. Unlike other companies who are happy to rectify their wrongs, 'Not on the high street', kept me waiting for 3 days before issuing a reply, only to pass me back to the seller, asking for more information, photographs and original packaging. It's only a couple of door handles it's utterly ridiculous you cant simply send the correct fixtures.

Terrible company and awful customer services - AVOID!!

Terrible company and awful customer services. I returned my purchase and have now been waiting 18 days for a refund. The seller does not respond to my emails. Have raised a complaint with not on the high street and they say I need to wait another 14 days for it to be issues!! Do not use, I have never had such a bad experience when purchasing something online.
