Website was great for ordering, found what I was looking for but returned them as my grandson had some of them already. Will order again but bigger sizes. Paying for returns is a problem though.

Great PJ’s

Good quality product (Minecraft PJ’s bought for my Grandson). Accurate sizing, reasonably priced and quick delivery too. I have previously bought from this company and would definitely recommend them.

I placed an order it took 3 weeks now…

I placed an order it took 3 weeks now and didn’t arrive I contacted the delivery company they said i have to contact the brand.

I sent mails and reminders to the brand and that was the answer after 3 weeks

Hello,

The courier has come back to be and advised the parcel is still recording as in transit but there has been no updates since 17/04.

I understand this is not ideal and we are doing everything we can to sort this for you. Please continue to monitor the tracking and get back into contact with us next week if there is no update.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards
Vanilla Underground

And until this moment no updates.

Vanilla Underground

Vanilla Underground. Overall good experience. Purchased a product that was slightly defective. No fault of eaither party just one of those things. Lily has been very responsive in all communication, dealt my concerns well and the issue has now been resolved to my satisfaction as a new customer. Good Work!

Kids clogs incorrect size and fake return label

I bought a pair of kids clogs and paid €5.95 delivery costs. They proved not a regular size 32 but smaller. Vanilla states it is 22 cm when measured. I measured too, send them a picture for prove and it is 21cm !! They simply say, their measurement is correct Easy way out no...?

When you enter the return department it pretends to give you a return ticket but once you have started the return it actually does not. It only provides a ticket with an adress.
So at the post office I found out I have to pay (again)
We have been emailing too and fro since the smaller size is their mistake. But they refuse to give a return label.
The new shoes i ordered are also un irregular size and in this case too large.
No customer service !! When you have paid for delivery they should pay for the return. You may be a small company but maybe your customers are too !
Never again.

Highly recommend

Really helpful staff (Lily) with great email communication. Able to visit local warehouse to check sizes and collect item immediately; postage refunded straightaway. Great service and perfect Halloween cosplay.

Far too small .

Arrived promptly.
Looked good . Sizing way off : the 10-11 age pyjamas fitted the 7 year old perfectly.
I wouldn’t order again from this company.

Speedy delivery but mediocre quality

Super fast next day delivery (without paying extra) however the product quality isn’t fantastic. The pyjama trousers are already losing its colour and have bobbles after a few washes. They also stained the inside of my son’s sleeping bag blue so quality isn’t the best unfortunately. Hence only 3 stars.

Fast delivery, great quality product at good price. What’s not to like?

Was looking for ‘lounge wear’ aka pajamas for my hubby’s birthday. Just couldn’t find anything of interest from the usual John Lewis/Sainsburys etc and happened across Vanilla Underground. I’m so glad I did! Ordered the Wallace and Gromit pj’s, they are fab! Delivery was so fast, the pj’s are really good, size is accurate, quality great. I’m very impressed!

Fantastic Service

Ordered a Hoodie to Canada and it arrived on-time with issues from a local carrier (with no fault to Vanilla Underground). Their support team were ready and quick to respond to help me find my package, when the local carrier finally found it and delivered it. 100% satisfied with Vanilla Underground. I would definitely recommend them!
