Was charged more for a 300 ml Bondi Boost conditioner than the actual company charges for a 500 ml. Unfortunately I just assumed by the price that I was ordering a 500 ml. Rip off!! Won’t be ordering anything from them again.

Fuming! So angry with Adore
Fuming so angry with Adore. I had things on order during the recent sale but mysteriously my PayPal wasn't working so couldn't purchase. I tried to rectify it but nobody got back to me? Now, suddenly my PayPal works but hang on the prices of every item has returned to its presale cost! What a take! I did try to close my account but mysteriously you are shifted to a number to call. Really annoyed here!

Reviews not working
Reviews not working. So I called Adore Beauty a few days ago to let them know I was unable to post a review on an item. They said it would take up to 48 hrs to fix but on investigation it seems to me that the functionality to leave a review on most/all items are not working, at least for me. The Lancome Hypnose mascara is not at all as AB describes (it barely coast the lashes and certainly doesn't make them look thicker) but I can't. Adore Beauty still haven’t fixed the situation 2 weeks later.

I have tried to purchase Estée Lauder…
I have tried to purchase Estée Lauder foundation (normally 186 dollars) it was advertised for 86 dollars . I tried to order and as soon as I selected the colour it went back to 186!
Msg adore beauty and they said they have a glitch , try later , I tried later , few hrs , still not fixed, told them again they did apologise and said I can call the ph no . Tried to ring but can’t get through! This went on for few days and was never fixed . Then after mother’s day they said that it was only selected colours that were or are on special. That is not how it is advertised and I said I should report for false advertising! And to blame the website for it , for days is not good enough ! So I said not to worry I won’t put an order through as it wasn’t the price as advertised. I still have all the proof, fotoes with dates !
Very poor and deceptive ! I won’t recommend the company as I have come across it once before!

Hi there,
Thank you for leaving us your review.
I can see you have been in communication with my colleague regarding this.
As explained by my colleague, when browsing, our system advertises the most discounted price available for that particular product. In your case, this particular product had multiple shade options therefore, prior to selecting the product, the most discounted shade's pricing would indeed be advertised.
However, when you click into the product, land on the product page and select your preferred shade, the correct pricing will then change and reflect for that particular shade prior to adding this to your cart and proceeding to check out.
Adore Beauty never intend to mislead customers or falsely advertise and therefore, I do apologise for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced.
Nonetheless, we truly value any and all feedback therefore, I will be sure to pass this along to the relevant department.

Dubious business practice with subscribe and save - not transparent to customers
Trick customers into "subscribe and save" - not transparent. Debited second amount from my bank account which I did not order. Contacted company and they said they would refund the money back into my account and void the subscribe and save recurring order. Told it would take 10-14 business days to refund back into my account. It is day 14 and still haven't received my refund. Have contacted Adore three times and each time get their "spiel"! I have contacted my bank to start dispute with Adore. I will never order from them again. In my opinion, this is dubious business practice from Adore. Their subscribe and save is not transparent and customers unknowingly subscribe to this. Nowhere on my original order does it say that it will a recurring order every 6 weeks.
Also, appalling customer service. Their email responses say the same thing over and over again and is generic! How about actually giving some customer service and actually take the time to solve this issue. I'm over it!!

I would give zero stars but it won’t let me. I LOVED adore beauty and used to be a vip member but as my last two orders had issues (one missing a product completely) and another the whole order was simply not delivered after paying for twilight shipping (or sent) and I had to continually chase up adore beauty. Now they have blankly cancelled an order out of the blue and claimed I had free promotional items in the order that I had not reached the threshold for - I have no idea how that is possible but to cancel a paid for entire order that was hundreds of dollars via email without consulting me first was the last straw.

Huge range of items and brands stocked which is great because they sell most of the brands I use so I can buy in 1 hit. They always have good sales and the Adore Society benefits are great. Prompt postage and free Tim Tams. The one time I have to contact customer service about a return, the rep was super friendly and helpful, didn't have to wait days for someone to get back to me.

Awful Customer Service
Awful Customer Service
I placed an order with Adore Beauty a couple of weeks ago and wanted to cancel my order due to a change of mind. It was late at night so I tried their live chat option which is basically a bot (so pointless) and texted them only to receive another automated response.
The next morning, I started calling their customer service number from 9am and could only get in touch with someone at 3pm by which they said the order had already been shipped out by Aus Post. This is after telling them I tried to get in touch with them numerous times. The customer service rep was apologetic and reassured me that I won't have to pay for the return shipping fee when I submit my refund request only for there to be no option to do so when I issued my refund. Not only did I waste a lot of my time for a simple refund but also additional dollars that I was trying to save in the first place.
This is not on that customer service rep but the entire team - I won't be shopping with them again and neither should you.

Hi Fia,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am very sorry to see that you have had some trouble returning an item.
It sounds like this return may have been completed using our Refundid platform. This does incur an additional fee. Usually, under your circumstances we would proceed with this return differently through a submitted returns form so that we can cover the postage fee.
I could not locate any details using your username, if you could please email me directly to service@adorebeauty.com.au with the subject line Att to Jess (including your order number and any other relevant details) and I will be in contact asap to rectify this for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Order declined by Company
Trying to source a particular item for Christmas as a gift.
Company declined my order - NOT MY BANK - for unusual activity or not aligning with their policies.
This was a first time order. Never used the company before. Chose not to join their club as I didn’t think I would use them regularly.
The order was confirmed by them and payment processed, only to receive an email hours later that they were declining my order and the pending funds on my account should be released back to me within 7 days.
I could reply to their email if I thought this was wrong, which I did, but that resulted in a customer service ticket which would be actioned in 1-2 business days, which would then result in the order, if it was reinstated, to not arrive before Christmas. (Express postage was not an option for this item as it was flammable - a perfume.)
I have now found the item elsewhere and purchased with no issues and will receive in time for Christmas.
Horrible experience for a first time customer. As a mother of two teenage girls, I will be telling them NOT to use this company, and sharing this with their friends as well.
Happy to provide screenshots/proof of the emails I received including the one declining my order and the response advising of service ticket and up to 2 day turnaround for a tesponse

My go to for all things beauty
I have had only positive experiences with Adore Beauty and any time I deviate from my go to, I always ended up back here.
The customer service is always prompt and rectified any issue I had almost instantly.
Not always the best prices but their customer care, for me, is worth paying a little more on select items.
Plus, they always include great free promotions so it always levels out and their delivery times are unmatched! So efficient

This company was good until I had a return and they turned on me told me to pack up all the gifts with purchase and started scamming, telling me things like to cancel my PayPal dispute and that they will take money out of my account to give to another company that refunded me the money, just to say that if I cancel my PayPal claims they will then give me money that they owe back ???? Do they think I’m stupid, this is a very scammy company I would be very careful dealing with. They use any little bit of corrospondance/commucation to trap you into stuff without you even saying for them to do anything, I’ve had to stop dealing with their passive aggressive team as you can tell they are trained in this type of commutation. I spent hundreds with them and they get nasty when a couple a bucks is disputed. They don’t value customers and feels like break consumer laws.

WOW - this was my first time purchasing from Adore Beauty, and I am super impressed! Ordered exactly one week ago and received my package today in Auckland, NZ. I only purchased one item, but they threw in a full-size sample PLUS an individually-wrapped Tim Tam! Thought that was a cute touch ;) As a bonus, I got a great price on the item I ordered, and shipping was free. Thanks so much Adore Beauty - I'll be a repeat customer! :)
