Great company to deal with

I had a slight issue with a recent order which was resolved very quickly and professionally. This is a great company with high quality products and excellent customer service and I can see myself shopping with them again and again. Highly recommended.

Great for Christmas decorations

I ordered some glass christmas baubles. They arrived quickly and were very well packaged - so important with such fragile items. Baubles were lovely. Parcel was also tracked. I will definitly use this company again.

Unapologetic

Another company that feels like it is ok to send out the wrong item and then expect the customer to repackage, print out labels, send back, and wait for a refund because the can't process an order correctly

Excellent service!

I discovered this company once lockdown started, and have been recommending their fantastic selection and service to all my friends.

I've placed 3-4 orders with them and each parcel has arrived very quickly, with everything well-packaged and exactly as described no matter what I have ordered.

I truly recommend this company as it seems to be a great UK business that takes pride in providing excellent service at all times. Very, very impressed!

Fantastic company

This is the first time I have ordered from temp gifts and I will definitely order from them again. I ordered a Yankee candle that I can’t seem to get in shops anymore ( warm cashmere). Was slightly worried about ordering a breakable item, but The candle was really well wrapped That I think only an elephant standing on it would be able to break it. It also arrived super quick ( within 3 days of ordering). 100% recommend this company.

The best customer service ever!

The best customer service ever! They responded to a problem within minutes and sent a replacement on a broken item first class. Amazing discounts on Yankee Candles also. If you’re in two minds about ordering from Temptation Gifts, don’t be!

Orderd yankee candles and egg cup

Orderd yankee candles and egg cup , paid for fed ex express , should have been recieved in 3 days , it took 9 days!? I informed them on day of purchase to add phone number to order which was confirmed in email it had been done . To top it off the egg cup broke on first use and the 3 yankee candles have no fragrance when burning . Let's not mention the 50 pounds extra I had to pay for shipping !? Customer service never once apologised and tried to pass thr blame to fed ex. Very disappointed as they seemed to have a hood profile online .

Hello Tamara, Thank you for your review regarding your recent order. All international orders sent by FedEx or standard Airmail are subject to customs tax and charges and delays ,depending on the destination, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. Please contact customs and excise in Israel for further information. Any customs or tax charges are the responsibility of the customer and as per our terms and conditions I’m sorry but I’m afraid that we cannot be held responsible for any charges levied by customs and excise , please refer to the link below. http://www.temptationgifts.com/international-delivery

I am sorry that the eggcup broke on 1st use and you are unhappy with the candle fragrances, as they appear to have no smell, please be assured that our items that we sell are sent to us directly to us from the manufacturers. Please email a photo of the broken egg cup to us, we will then of course arrange a refund. With regards to the candles, Yankee recommend that the candle is burnt for 4 hours minimum to ensure the wax has burnt across the whole circumference of the candle, and also ensure the candle is burnt away from any drafty areas, Yankee also recommend that a Illuma lid is used on these candles, as this promotes an even burn throughout the life of the candle and also gives off the best fragrance throw, as the Illuma lid holds more heat inside the jar and allows the wax pool to cover a deeper area of the candle. Please can you provide us with a photo of the candles you have lit, so we can look into this further for you. Kind regards Rebecca @ customer service

Amazingly prompt given current circumstances

Given the current circumstances I was expecting a slight delay in my order. My order was despatched the day after placing and received two days later. Amazingly prompt service in light of current events. Thanks so much!

Great customer service and great products

I can understand why this company has such a good reputation. Their website is easy to navigate and has a wide range of gifts at reasonable prices. But what I like most about Temptation Gifts, is the ‘old school’ reliable, professional, customer service. Just brilliant!

Wrong measurent on Illuma - lid

I ordered a matrix Illuma-lid. It was stated that the diameter was 9cm, great this was the exact measurement that I required. Infact when I received my order it was 8.5cm. If I had known this I would not have ordered the item. It's very misleading to advertise one measurement then receive something else.
The delivery came earlier than expected. The packaging was totally unnecessary, a large box for such a small item. A much smaller box or an envelope would have sufficed.
The Illuma-lid is well made and it is beautiful but it's not as advertised.

No goodwill

I have had an account with Temptation gifts for a while now buying regular Christmas mugs, plates and Dunoon mugs and have no complaints with their delivery or packaging service. I recently had cause to write to them about a Dunoon Shalimar mug which I had purchased in 2018. I have bought several of these mugs and have had no problems at all. I sent and email of photographs to customer service and was told in no uncertain terms their conditions of sale and service which meant that after 90 days it could not be refunded or replaced. I understand all this but I was surprised and disappointed at their total lack of goodwill towards a returning customer. Any small gesture of goodwill would have been gratefully received and it was assumed it was my fault - beware purchasers -Dunoon recommends a teaspoon in the cup before pouring on hot liquids! This instruction never came with the mugs! As a consequence of their tone and actions, I will not buy from Temptation Gifts again. Despite repeating themselves in response to this review - it is their lack of goodwill to a long standing, repeat customer, not the terms of service that has caused me to write this.

Dear Linda, Thank you for your review, we are sorry to learn that your Dunoon Shalimar mug is now showing cracks in the glaze at the bottom. As your mug was purchased on 29th September 2018 we are not able to offer you a refund or replacement. As part of our Terms and Conditions on the site we do advise the following ‘‘If your item is faulty or develops a fault soon after purchase, please contact us by phone or email as soon as you notice the fault; and no later than 90 days after receipt of your goods. Since we have no way of knowing what treatment a product has received once it arrives with the customer, Temptation Gifts will not accept responsibility for goods after more than 90 days.’’ As their recommended online retailer we sell around 1500 Dunoon mugs a month, of which we may receive 10 reports per year that a customer’s mug has incurred damage after the 90 day period. Should the mug have had a manufacturing fault, this would have become apparent whilst being used within the first 3 months of purchase. Dunoon mugs are made from Bone China, which is a delicate and fragile material, and as such, even a slight knock could cause sufficient stress for the mug to fail when hot water is poured into it. Dunoon do recommend that a metal teaspoon is placed into the mugs prior to boiling water being poured in, as this will conduct the heat away from the delicate China. I am sorry that we are to assist you further on this occasion. Kind regards, Customer Service Team
