Sadly no items arrived in 6 weeks so far.

Sadly, it's been now more than a month since order and still nothing. Customer service replied once that due to Brexit it takes more time to ship to EU. But after three more weeks no more replies on any of my e-mails.

So happy with my black top

I bought the black ribbed long sleeved organic cotton top. I'm so pleased with it - it's a substantial fabric, beautifully shaped, and I have hardly taken it off since it arrived.

Very inconsistent sizing

Very inconsistent sizing. I am a size 8 for all other brands and have no problem so far. but when I ordered 2 pairs of trousers from Peopletree in size 8, one of them is too big and long to the point that the bottom part would touch the floor even when I'm in heels; while the other is too tight to the point I couldn't put it on. Moreover, there's no size chart on the website for the second pair so there's no way I could have known.

Wrong item sent twice

Dear People Tree,
I was very excited to shop with you for all the worthy reasons that people do. The reviews on Trust Pilot were excellent, so I had no hesitation in sending in my first order.
When the order finally arrived, it had the wrong item in it. I had ordered a black polka dot dress and received a blue and black striped dress instead. When I asked for the item I had ordered, I was told that unfortunately, it was now out of stock and that if I sent the item back I would get a refund. I had to return it to the nearest Post Office which is a mile away and stand in a long queue. Much as expected in these circumstances.
Two weeks later, no refund had arrived and no communication. When I queried this, I was told that a replacement order had been sent out to me, which I was really pleased about. Imagine my surprise then, to find that the item sent out to me was the wrong one again. In fact, exactly the same wrong one I had sent back.
I now have to go through this ridiculous process again. What is going on People Tree? I know there's a pandemic, but this feels beyond careless.
What a pity. I won't be shopping with you again.

My favourite company

My favourite company! Have been buying from People Tree regularly for at least 12 years. Love the ethos, the fact that they have remained true to their good ethics and morals as they have grown over the years. Very transparent, ethical company. Great clothes, fair trade and organic and friendly staff. Love, love, love People Tree! Customer for life.

A pleasant experience. Thank you.

People tree always has very comfortable and ethical clothing and are mindful of how the process of production impacts our earth our home. Recently I asked about getting a refund on an item that did not fit me and they were very patient with me and everything was explained well about what I can do. I appreciate the whole process of how all the items are made so consciously and the amazing work being done in other countries.

Quick to respond to emails and to refund returns

I ordered a pair of trousers from People Tree that were the wrong size and which I ended up having to return. I had a discount code for my first purchase and as People Tree don't do exchanges I had to pay full price for my new order. However, I contacted People Tree about this and they quickly replied and refunded me the difference. When my orders arrived I found the trousers to be wrapped in plastic which was a little disappointing as one of the main reasons that I chose People Tree is because of their environmental and fairtrade ethos. However, when I queried this I was assured that the plastic is indeed recyclable. I suggest that People Tree make this clearer as no doubt this question has, and will continue to be raised many times and without symbols on the bags, how are we to know?

When I read the reviews of this company on Trust Pilot after making my orders I was a little worried as it seems like a lot of people have had problems with returns making it back into their bank accounts. However, my return was quick, as was the communication and my trousers are excellent quality that are clearly made to last. I will definitely reorder from People Tree.

PeopleTree - great designs, great mission, great customer service

I love PeopleTree. I try to shop with only ethical and sustainable clothing companies, and they have such a great mission and I really like their range of clothing so they're perfect. All orders are sent in sturdy paper bags (although clothes are supplied in plastic bags within this, which is a shame). Their refund process is as robust as any other company and customer service is excellent. My one minor gripe is lack of alternative sizing - I need a longer leg length in trousers which they don't currently do - but I've been in touch with them and they said they're considering this in future.

Love the Heather slim fit jeans…

I bought the heather slim fit jeans size 12, which arrived within 2 days. These are like magic jeans for me! I absolutely love the fit, quality and dark denim colour. I (almost) haven’t taken them off since they arrived. Well done to the design and sourcing teams and the workers at Sarp Jeans. I’ll definitely be back for another pair.

No idea where & when my order will come resolved

People Tree's customer service team had emailed me to address the issues regarding 'No sign of delivery' as well as phone call not responded. They had reassured that delivery is about 3-5 days, which my order came on the 5th day upon dispatch date which they wrote in earlier email. Unfortunately, these items are too tight, and I was advised via email last night on returning the items with the return label provided in the package. They did respond quite fast. Only thing is I cannot exchange sizes instead to re-order again. Overall, my first purchase experience with PT isn't bad although had a hiccup when there was no news of the delivery. Thanks for the service.

Hi Karyn,

Thank you for your review.

We sincerely apologise for the experience you have had, we are currently in the process of resolving this with Royal Mail as you should be receiving your tracking link and there also happened to be an error with your tracking reference on this occasion unfortunately, however this shouldn't affect your order from being delivered to you. Once dispatched our standard Royal Mail shipping will take 3-5 working days for delivery.

We're sorry you tried to call us, our phone lines are currently closed due to us working as a smaller team during lockdown and being based from home. We'd be happy to discuss this over email if you require further support.

We hope if you choose to shop with us again that you have a more positive experience. We are aware of these issues and are trying our very hardest to improve our customer experience.

Best wishes,

People Tree Customer Care

Good Experience

I read the reviews and was a little anxious, as I had already ordered. But there was no trouble! It arrived quickly, the jumpsuit I ordered was beautifully made, and customer service responded to me immediately when I thought I had an issue. I just didnt get an email with the tracking number - that's why I emailed them. But overall I am satisfied!

Poor customer service

Poor customer service. I've twice had to chase up refunds after a month of waiting for confirmations that never arrive. One of the main features of online shopping is ease of refund. People Tree don't seem to realise this. We are all aware of how difficult things are for companies right now, but the lack of acknowledgement is inexcusable.

Hi Julia,

Thank you for your review.

I do apologise for the delay in you receiving your refund, we have a manual process for our returns and are currently working as a smaller team during lockdown and are trying our very hardest to get on top of these. We hope to integrate a more automated system in the future which would speed up this process.

Appreciate your feedback.

Best wishes,

After a terrible experience… it gets worst.

After a terrible experience with shipping late and the package getting lost, they sent me my order again. I received it today only to find out things were missing from it. It has been a month and a half and I still don't have everything I payed for.
In response to the response bellow : It is also unacceptable to buy an item, available on the site, only to find out more than a month later that they are out of stock... Because you don’t receive it. When did it get out of stock ? Would you have even told me if I didn’t get in touch with you ? It doesn’t seem like it. Something is wrong with your enterprise and you won’t last long treating your customers as such.
After all this, they wrote back and said they were sending a larger size that was still in stock. Without consulting me about sizes ! This is terrible ! Seriously, who takes care of customer service in this place !
O.k. it keeps on going... They reimbursed me... less than what I payed ! I have never seen such terrible customer service. Ridiculous !

Hi, thank you for your review.

We're really sorry to hear that you haven't had a positive experience with us, it's a real shame that your first parcel was declared as lost by the postal service. Unfortunately one of the items was out of stock which explains why you didn't receive your replacement order in full. We have refunded you for the item you didn't receive as requested.

Best wishes,

Hi Ruth,

Thank you for your review.

I sincerely apologise that you haven't had a good experience shopping with us. Your order had an item in it that was potentially out of stock which is what delayed your order being dispatched. We are currently working as a smaller team and trying to speed up this process. We hope if you choose to shop with us again that the process is a lot smoother.

Best wishes,

Great clothes and protecting their employees

Recently bought a People Tree cotton jumpsuit at a shop selling range of ethical clothes and loved it, so when I needed underwear and smart casual tops I had a look online at people tree. I'm trying to avoid buying fast fashion, to protect both workers and environment. Most fit well and looked great and I'm really happy with them. Some didn't fit or didn't like style, but all great quality, so returned part of order. There was a delay in the return being processed, which was completely understandable due to covid, but then very simple process and an apology for the delay received. If anything, I appreciate the delay as it suggests that the warehouse is maintaining social distancing and they are protecting their employees. Thank you, People Tree
