Jewellery with a difference

Always visit these shops in Scarborough and Stratford-upon-Avon. The jewellery is beautiful and very well priced. The staff are an exception to the company. Lovely ladies in both shops, always willing to help when I make orders over the phone. A real must for jewellery lovers who like something different to the norm. Highly recommend

Love Shipton's jewellery!

I am a regular Shipton customer. I particularly enjoy going to the Keswick store, where the members of staff are so lovely and helpful. I often order online too. I would have given five stars but for the fact that I wasn't notified when my order had been dispatched, so, despite ordering in good time, was uncertain whether the gifts for Christmas presents that I had ordered would arrive on time. I therefore had to contact customer service. They offered a very quick response, saying that my order had been dispatched and had been with Royal Mail for a few days and it was the postal service that was suffering delays. It would be great, when ordering online, if customers were notified that orders had been dispatched, in line with other companies. This would give reassurance that orders were not lost in the ether. Other than that, I love Shipton's jewellery and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and for being such a loyal Shipton customer. We’re especially pleased to hear how much you enjoy visiting our Keswick store and that the team there always look after you so well.
I’m very sorry that you weren’t notified when your recent order was dispatched. We completely understand how important it is—especially at Christmas—to know that gifts are safely on their way, and I apologise for the worry this caused. We are working on making our notification system better so customers are kept informed as soon as orders are dispatched. Thank you again for your kind words about our jewellery and for your continued support :)

Always have good experience with this…

Always have good experience with this company. Friendly and helpful staff. The damaged item in my package was swiftly replaced. This is an unusual occurrence as the jewellery is of a very high standard and beautifully packaged.

Beautiful craftsmanship and choice of jewellery, lots of offers too. Shipton is a good company to deal with. One of my orders was lost in transit and a further order was sent to replace it.

Waited for 20 min for customer service…

Waited for 20 min for customer service to answer, waste of time I wanted to know how long the droplets were on the necklace as it gives you no idea in the catalogue. It makes you wonder are they WFH.

We’re very sorry to hear about the delay in getting through to our team and that a size was missing from our catalogue description. We’ve been exceptionally busy recently, but please rest assured our customer service team works from our head office and our UK-based call center, not from home.

In future, you’re very welcome to send any queries directly to customercare@shiptonia.co.uk and our team will be happy to help. If you would like to send us an email with the product in question - we will ensure your question is answered. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found our website easy to use, but we’re sorry the free gift wasn’t the colour you expected. We didn’t want to delay your order, so we sent an alternative colour as the one shown is now due back in stock in January. We appreciate your understanding and will pass your comments to the team to make this clearer in future.
