The courier lost my goods WCH wont re imburse me
Appalling and completely passive customer service
Over £400 spent, no goods received despite next-day delivery. Ten days later, WCH's response is simply that DPD is investigating and I must wait — potentially another 21+ days.
I bought from Working Class Heroes, not DPD. I would expect the retailer to take ownership, refund the customer and pursue its courier — not passively leave a new customer £400+ out of pocket while waiting for DPD.
Absolutely dreadful customer service. I would not buy from WCH again.
All good.
All good.
The click and collect service worked well.
The shop manager was welcoming, friendly and efficient.

Prompt delivery as well as refund. No problem with the shoes at all, they were just too small.
Great service overall.
Pennington cagoule
I recently purchased the iconic Pennington cagoule from working class heros. The cagoule is brand new and the colour is exactly how it is shown in the picture. It was £60 cheaper than a lot of places and is the correct fit. Good value and quality.
Prompt service/delivery.
I'll be ordering from Working Class Heroes again.
Working Class Heroes are my heroes
Ordering was easy and my bag arrived on time for my trip. I paid extra for the quick turn around, but I have done this before and the thing hasn't arrived in time. I'm really grateful WCH were able to sort me out. All in all a great experience, I will be shopping here again ☺️
Poor service online and in store
I initially visited the Ulverston store hoping to try on some of the women's waterproof jackets so I could order the correct size, rather than buying multiple sizes online and having to return those that didn't fit.
I was disappointed to discover that the store had virtually no women's clothing in stock—perhaps only one or two tops in the entire shop. When I asked about this, the staff member bluntly told me I should have used Click & Collect if I wanted to try items on. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know this beforehand. It also raises the question: why do your stores stock the men's range but not the women's?
My main complaint, however, is the poor communication from the online team regarding my return. Your website states that returns are typically processed within two working days, but this was not my experience.
My return was delivered back to your warehouse on 15 June, yet it wasn't acknowledged until 24 June. This only happened after I requested that someone contact me to explain why my refund still hadn't been processed 10 days after the return had been delivered. I had also contacted your customer service team on 19 June to check whether my return had been received, but no one was able to provide a clear update.
To add to my disappointment, I paid approximately £7 for DPD next-day delivery, yet my order didn't arrive until two days later.
Overall, this was a frustrating experience from start to finish. Between the lack of women's stock in-store, the dismissive response from a member of staff, the delayed return processing, and the poor communication throughout, I have been left very disappointed with the level of service and will never use WCH again.
Slow to dispatch and a pain to deal with
I ordered the item on Thursday but they did not dispatch until Monday. Bit slow.

Order? What order?
Didn't receive my order, due to a lying and lazy DPD driver. Chased it up with WCH, who advised me to go to where it has supposedly been delivered to, despite me being unable to (and them knowing this). Not impressed.
Great hat at a very reasonable price

My first time purchasing from Working Class Heroes and really impressed. Loved the beer mat gift.
Great online retail purchase
Unfortunately I had to return my purchase due to sizing being too big, however I found the prices very competitive and a lot of great brands on the website.
Purchase and return process was easy.
Would happily purchase from here again.
