Great company

I ordered several items including robes and hoodies for myself and my bridal party.
Lovely quality and beautiful designs.
Any questions I had were answered quickly.
Great company. Thank you.

Was not aware of the companies “closing…

Was not aware of the companies “closing dates” prior to making my order this was not well advertised on your website.

I require my items before Friday 7th September so placed my order and then when I attempted to contact the company noted the “closing dates”

I am now unsure whether I will receive my NON personalised items before this Friday 7th September and no way to contact the team. No telephone number.

I only hope I can return if they arrive after Friday 7th September !

Frustrated with the lack of advertisement on their website regarding customer service. Plus the 2-3 working day estimate of my order but unable to contact the team to enquire for a faster delivery or confirmation of delivery before 7th septembe 2018

Thank you for your comments left in your review, which we see you have left whilst we were on our shutdown. We advertised about our closure on our website in May well before our annual shutdown at the end of August. The information could be found on the FAQ, and when you checked out we informed you of the shutdown also on the order confirmation you were sent once the order was placed this information was displayed. In the information we made you aware that if you needed the order before the shutdown to contact us so we could help you and that any emails would be answered on our return which was 10 September. Please contact us so that we can see if the order was sorted for you as you have given no name

Amazing robes!

I ordered them from Italy and they arrived on time. They completed my special day! My Gracie robes were perfect and my bridesmaids too. Thank you so much Sue for your help!

Extremely disappointed

Extremely disappointed - non existent customer service

I purchased a robe from Little Lovebird in July, which was unpersonalised as i was concerned about sizing and aware that if the size was wrong i would be unable to return it. When the robe arrived it was unfortuantely far too small. I wanted to return it but there was no paperwork with the deliver to advise how to do this. I reached out to the company via their contact form on the webpage, direct email and facebook messenger. As the 14 days return deadline was looming and i still had had no response i sent the robe back to the address on the website with a letter asking for a refund along with my order number.
2 weeks later i have had no confirmation that they received it, no money back and despite a further email complaining about this situation no reply to that either. My only other option now appears to be to go to trading standards. Surely if the expectation of their customers is to return the product within 14 days then they should give a service that allows their customers to achieve this.
I'm so glad that i only ordered one robe to begin with and hence i'm only £15 out of pocket , however with the build up to your wedding being a stressful and expensive enough time i wouldn't want anymore brides to waste their time with this terrible company. I'm also interested to see notonthehighstreets opinion on selling items from this company on their website given the shocking reviews

Thank you for your email, we are sorry to hear your unhappy with our service
We have run a quick search on our computer and can see one email sent during our annual shutdown which will be replied to when our offices are open
We can not see any messages on Facebook under your name
We do not send paperwork in parcels due to the new data protection regulations as we do not wish for anyone to receive your details if the parcel was to become lost.
We will refund once we have checked the gown has been received sorry we were unaware you were having problems contacting us but it is our busy time. Thank you for making us aware of the problems but we hope we can resolve on our return from annual shutdown

Please do not order from this company

I ordered the Bridal Gift Set, comprising Robe, Slippers and Coat Hanger on 28/06/18, understanding that processing and delivery is 30 days. I received my order late, AFTER the 30 days only after chasing them up on it. Not only did I get the items late, but I did not receive the hanger which I need for my wedding dress. I enquired about the hanger on 09/08/18 and was told I would receive the hanger “in a few days”, today is 28/08/18, my wedding is 01/09/18, and I still have not received the hanger. Please do not order from this company unless you want your heart broken before your wedding. Thank goodness I did not order my bridesmaids gowns from this site, I have read other horror stories. It is very unfortunate that communication with this company is hard, and now they are on “holiday” it seems, so no idea when I will get my complete order. I would like a refund at least. I spent £40 including delivery.
I would also suggest this company have a phone number for their grieving customers. Thanks.

Thank you for your review
We work on estimated WORKING days not standard days and from what we can see on the system we did send in the estimated timeframe.

We apologise we are on our annual shutdown which has been advertised since May.
From reading your review you have received the gift box with robe and slippers however you are missing the coat hanger.
The coat hanger is sent direct from our engravers.
If we had been notified before our annual shutdown we could have chased up with our engravers as to where the location of this hanger maybe as we requested a further hanger to be sent on 10/8
Now we are notified we will log the hanger as missing with our engravers and process a refund for this item on our return from annual shutdown
Once again we apologise our engravers suppliers have let us down on this occasion

Appalling service

Appalling service. Not great quality. I have received robes with the wrong dates on twice now. Communication is poor, I have sent the incorrect robes back and then had my parcel redelivered back to me by the company with no explanation, despite me paying the delivery cost. The robes were nicely packaged in gift boxes I had paid for however they are wrapped in such a way you cannot see the personalisation so you have to unwrap them to see which robe belongs to each person. Definitely not the number 1 bridal robe brand.

We read with interest your review and have apologised for our error in various emails to you, we are sorry we got the year wrong putting 2018 and not 2019 on the robes but we rectified this mistake straightaway by issuing new robes to you within a few days but one robe had missed some of the print this being the ‘9’ on the end of the year so again we said we would sort for you as we can add it to the end which is not a problem and easily rectified . We offered to collect the robes and we were waiting on the best address for collection but you decided to sort the returns yourself and return them to us, and before you have checked with the company that you used to send the robes as to why they have been returned you are saying we have returned the robes without sorting which is incorrect as we have not received the robes there would be no point in returning them to you if we had of received them as that would achieve nothing and still leave you without the robe being sorted which is not the way we run our business

Sorry you were not happy with the gift wrapped gowns but we advise you take them out of the boxes just to check that the personalisation is correct on the gowns which is what you did and so found the error.

As for the service we provide we feel that we have offered you a good service, we have answered your emails, arranged for collection when we made an error, sent new gowns within a few days and still want to help you, I have emailed and offered to collect the gowns from you so hoping we can have all this sorted for you soon

Know who to contact - Sue !

I ordered robes and hair clips at the end of July for my wedding beginning of September. I would give yourself at least 8 weeks if ordering robes , they rely on suppliers so cannot always give you guaranteed delivery estimates.
If you are worried - email Sue directly ( don’t use the instand contact form) - she is the main customer services and is helpful in offering alternatives if they cannot deliver what you need on time ( although some people may find this disappointing). I think the website needs a better contact portal and should increase their delivery estimate times to 8 weeks. However if you don’t have a time constraint , it is probably all fine !

Extremely disappointed!!!

Extremely disappointed is an understatement!!!

Placed my order for 5 personalised dressing gowns on 7th July 2018 for me and my bridal party for my wedding. We fly on 1st September 2018 for the wedding, so thought I'd ordered in plenty of time even with the 30 working day lead time.
I emailed the company on 23rd July to ask if everything was ok with the order. I was assured by Sue that everything was in hand and I would receive my order by 17th August.
13th August I received an email from Sue saying they didn't have the gowns i had ordered in stock. Sue offered an alternative which i reluctantly took. (I also asked why it had taken so long for them to tell me the gowns were out of stock, as they had had my money for over a month. Sue replied that they 'do not look at sorting orders until about a week before they go out') Sue assured me that the order would be dispatched by DPD on 14th August.
16th August still no email to say they had been dispatched, I emailed Sue. Sue replied to say that the alternative gowns were also out of stock and offered another alternative which I didn't like.
I asked for a phone number to call and sort this out as time was running out and she said 'Sorry as we are an internet company we are unable to make or receive calls.'
Getting more and more frustrated, I asked what other colours/sizes they had in stock in floral designs (like the one i ordered and the first alternative). Sue replied to say they had 'most' floral designs in stock.
After going back and forth so many times over email to get to this point i asked for her to cancel the order (which to be fair she did rather quickly and refunded my money so that was something I suppose).

I cannot believe that this business sits on your money for 4-5 weeks before even doing anything with the order!! And to not deal with any customers over the phone at all, even when there are issues is quite disgraceful.

I have now found a company that will turn these around in time (luckily) as The Little Lovebird have left me no other option and abandoned the order just over 2 weeks before my wedding!

Thank you for your review. We have taken on board your comments. As you have correctly stated the order was placed on 7th July the 30 working days estimated be 17th August for despatching and as we had been let down by a supplier with a delivery of robes we contacted you on 13th to see if you wanted a refund or if you wanted to change the robes, giving you options of robes we had in stock, reading your review you say you ‘reluctantly’ said you would have these, so we are happy you choose a refund and we did not send you these robes if you were unsure you wanted them.

Regarding the money, you do authorise the money to be paid to us when you place the order, the money is processed when the order is placed and we make you aware that it takes 30 working days for despatching and we did let you know as soon as we knew there was a problem as the order was held by the manufacturer, which is out of our hands, at this point we acted as quick as possible to see if you wanted another option.

We do not assure/guarantee any despatching dates to customers they are all estimated as there can be issues that occur that do not enable us to despatch, again we contacted you when we knew there was a problem as the gown you had chosen was an error on the system showing stock of the L/XL gowns when on a physical count we did not have enough to cover the order. As we have so many gowns in stock and we was unsure what floral ones you wanted, and had previously sent links to numerous options, We said ‘we had most in stock’ so you could choose which if any were suitable for you, it was your choice as to which ones you wanted and we was willing to check for you

We would have sorted the order for you before 1 September, with stock we had or with stock we have coming in, but because we we could not sort the order for the estimated delivery date which is what you wanted we want to apologise that we could not help you on this occasion

I ordered with a 8 week run up time to my daughter’s wedding. When I started panicking that personalised robes for bride and bridesmaids wouldn’t be ready, I contacted company and received a prompt reply assuring me that order would be moved forward. Robes arrived in time and they were beautiful. Thank you Sue.

Gowns.

I can’t recommend you enough. I ordered 8 gowns in all different pastel colours and a white one. 1 bride, 1 mother of the bride and 6 bridesmaids. You did not disappoint! Even when I realised I had made a mistake and needed it changed you corrected it very quickly! The colours were perfect and all I imagined and more! My girls were very surprised and happy to have them. Thank you for adding to my happiness on the day.

So upset with my order

Ordered robes and stated I wanted to change he colour of the text to a new colour they’d released and wasn’t online. However my robes arrived and the text is the wrong colour and don’t match the additional robe I ordered. Absolutely fuming and disappointed.

Thank you for your comments as you have not contacted us before about the problem and just left this review on Trustpilot I have since been in contact with you to rectify your order.
The robes you are referring to you bought last year and we sent these in the font colour you asked for then placed an order for another robe and now you have received this you think it is the wrong colour. It is called the same colour but as you can appreciate there are different shades and I did say in my email that had you let us know that you wanted to match it to previous robes we would have made sure that this robe we just sent out to you was the same colour font but we didn’t know you had a previous order.
It is the same with anything you buy if you don’t buy all at the same time you do run the risk of disappointment if the brand is changed or discontinued you may not be able to match or even buy the same style but we have offered to match the gown you have received that you are not happy with to the ones that you purchased last year and we are sorting that out for you straightaway and apologise that you were expecting it to match the other robes and when it arrived it didn’t match.

I would like to say a massive thank you...

I would like to say a massive thank you to Sue and the team for the stunning wedding robes I received. When I ordered them, I didn’t realise the timings and with my sister organising her wedding so last minute, I was in a bit of a pickle. Sue went above and beyond to ensure I received the robes on time and when I did, they were absolutely stunning! I have seen so many and they always look cheap but these looked a beautiful quality and we had so many comments on them!! I would definitely recommend The Little Lovebird to anyone for those last minute touches, gifts and surprises - they really are lovely! Roll on my future wedding...

Delivery worries Robes

Was worried about delivery of pre wedding robes as was getting near to the date, but I contacted via website and e,planned and a lovely lady by the name of Sue, customer service manager, replied and kept me up to par and was so very very nice and helpful. Anyway 3 days afterwards the consignment arrived by courier. So Sue you was brill right up to the end, other than, the robes a very poorly packaged and creased extremely badly, plus the lettering I have noticed is not laying flat to material, just hope when I carefully iron them on reverse that it looks a whole lot better. But once again Sue thank you .

Delighted!

My order has just arrived and I am delighted. I had a number of interactions with Sue in Customer Service and her responses were always helpful, prompt and informative. I asked for assistance when placing my order as I wanted to slightly change what was offered on the site - they were so accommodating and able to confirm the order immediately. The delivery time is a little slow in all fairness but this wasn't a problem for me as I ordered well in advance. I chased a couple of times and again received responses within a few hours confirming the status of the order.
The gowns have now arrived and look fab. I'll need to hang them for a while to drop out a few creases but they are exactly what I was looking for.
Would definitely recommend but just advise other customers to check that they are ordering well in advance of the date required.

30 WORKING day dispatch, poor packaging but lovely personalised gowns

Ordered personalised gowns on 29th May 2018 and noted at the time that it would be 30 days till dispatch (which I thought seemed like a really long time) but as the wedding isn't until 18th August, still proceeded with the purchase. The child's gown is ridiculously overpriced - only £2 difference between a gown for a 4 year old child and adult size L! Started to get concerned around the end of June when no had parcel arrived yet. Checked the website and found it's 30 WORKING days till dispatch plus delivery time... Waited again until 17th July with no sign of dispatch and eventually e-mailed to check up - no response. Eventually got dispatch e-mail on 19th July and parcel arrived the following day. Gowns are lovely and seem good quality but are let down by the packaging. I opted not to pay additional for gift boxes - I expected they'd still arrive well protected but they were just in plastic bags and totally creased so looked terrible on first looks. Thankfully much happier now they've been ironed and hung up!

Thank you for your review, we have noted your comments and thank you for purchasing and allowing plenty of time for your order. Sorry you did not receive a reply straightway to your email but at this busy time we do ask that you allow 48 hours for a response from us.

We are looking into the packaging options available so we can improve on this for our customers. We try to balance the postage price with the type of packaging we can use as we do not want to make the postage expensive for our customers but like you said once hung the creases will drop out and the gowns will reflect the high standard we try to achieve for our customers
