Good Stuff
I have been very happy with everything I’ve bought from The Idle Man.
Own brand items are particularly good value and go well with my mostly classic workwear approach to clothes. They wash well and last
Delivery is fast and very reasonable.
It’s all good.

Don’t use Yodel
Don’t use Yodel, they’re literally the most unhelpful courier - can’t redeliver to a neighbour, safe place or alternative address - I know need to drive 30 mins each way to collect my parcel

Hi John,
Thank you for your Trustpilot review.
We are extremely sorry to hear about the issues with your order.
Yodel are generally very reliable with our shipments but we are not naïve to think that issues do not happen on occasion.
Sadly as part of our contract with them for our standard deliveries they do not offer those options however DPD who are our express delivery partner do offer for a change of address, delivery date, to be left in a space place or drop off point and this is available for £5.95 and will arrive next day if placed before 4pm Monday to Thursday.
If you ever order on standard and have an issue please do not hesitate to contact our customer care team who are on hand to contact couriers on your behalf.
Our apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
The Idle Man Team

The overall shipment was fine and it arrived very quickly. However the overall quality of the item was at an unacceptable standard. The material of the jacket felt like paper and it should not have been available to buy.

Hi Joe
Thank you for your Trustpilot review.
We are sorry to hear that the garment you ordered was not to a high standard of quality.
This is certainly not something that we have to deal with often here at The Idle Man. but we can completely understand the frustration caused when it affects your purchase.
Our Dispatch Team should be checking all of our products before they leave the warehouse therefore we must apologise if this was not done.
The buying and merchandising teams both work tirelessly each season to work with brands and manufacturers to source the best pieces for our customers so it's disheartening to hear when a garment doesn't hit the mark.
Please be aware your feedback was passed on to both teams who made a note of an issue with this product.
Apologies once again that we are not able to assist further on this occasion.
Kind regards,
The Idle Man Team

Very poor customer care
Very poor customer care, especially from Veronica.
At the time that I was trying to use the code it had not expired The following day I was given advice how to make the code work, knowing full well the code had expired that day, making it’s pointless exercise.

Hi Stephen
Thank you for your Trustpilot review.
We are extremely sorry to hear of the recent issues encountered by yourself.
It's always massively disappointing to know that our service has not been up to scratch as this is something that we pride ourselves on here at The Idle Man.
From viewing the correspondence we can only see a query our team helped you with regarding applying a discount code which had expired however we can't see any issue with the response.
Sadly our discount codes we offer on the website do not run indefinitely and will expire within a certain time frame.
However we still have a sale section where you can purchase items at a reduced rate.
We apologise again for EXTRA15 no longer being an active discount code and any disappointment caused on this occasion.
Kind regards,
The Idle Man Team
