I’ve contacted the customer service…

I’ve contacted the customer service twice and both times, they took care of my issue immediately and were really concerned to help solving my problem. Would rate it 10/10.

I live their products and the shipping were always uncomplicated. Some times, during sale, it took a bit longer, but I guess it was because of the sale and it was absolutely okay for me.

Nonexistent customer services

Their products are great but unfortunately the customer services id TERRIBLE! One of my orders, one out of two, got lost in transit or it was never send. After numerous tries to contact customer service, chat, phone and email I never got a respond!

Love the products, but the customer service is unacceptable

I placed an order on 24 March and, despite the advertised delivery time of 3–4 days, it has now been over 3 weeks and I still have not received my package.
The order was only dispatched on 10 April, and that happened only after I had submitted a complaint to the Niche Beauty Lab customer service team. Five days later, the tracking number shows that the shipment has not yet entered the courier system (CTT).
When I contacted NBL customer services, I was told there were "slight delays" due to a spring sale. I'm sorry, but is a delay of over 3 weeks really "slight"?
Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have experienced delays with Niche Beauty Lab. Every time I order, there are delays, with a minimum waiting time of around 2 weeks, which is unreasonable for delivery to Portugal.
The products themselves are excellent, which is why I kept coming back despite these issues. However, this time it has gone too far. I will not be ordering from this company again.

love the product, hate the customer service

love the products, however horrible customer service. no response in an appropriate amount of time, no help at all. a package was returned due to faulty tracking information and information provided from the shipping company; i was still charged for the return, even though it wasn't my fault. will not be purchasing off the website itself again.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, we’re really glad to hear that you love our products, but we’re genuinely sorry that your experience with our customer service left you disappointed.

We’d like to clarify that your package was returned to us because it wasn’t collected from the pickup location within the specified timeframe. In such cases, the return shipping costs are charged in line with our shipping policy, as the return is not caused by an error on our side.

We also want to note that respectful communication is very important to us. Some of the language used in previous interactions was not appropriate, which makes it more difficult for our team to assist effectively.

That said, we always aim to provide helpful and fair support, and we regret that this situation led to frustration. If you decide to give us another chance in the future, we’ll be here to help.

Best regards,
Your Niche Beauty Lab Team

Awful service overall

Awful service overall. Dont buy from them. I bought products and the products were not sent and costumer service is non existent. So they take the money and no products.

Stay away from this company!

The customer service is non-existing, they use false marketing regarding shipping times and even make false shipment updates! According to instagram, many customers have NOT recieve their orders after several weeks and the company is not communicating at all. I have tried to contact them now for a few day - ZERO answers.

I urge everyone who have problems with this company and who lives in the EU to make a formal complaint to the European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net). If they don't listen to their customers, perhaps they will listen to the authorities.

"I am Deceptive Marketing & False Promises: The Discounts Are a Lie! disappointed with the…

"I am beyond disappointed with the official Theramid website. This brand claims to be premium, but their online store operates like a data-harvesting scam.
First, they advertise a 25% student discount, but their system makes it impossible to verify a legitimate student email from an Italian high school. It is a complete hurdle designed to make you give up and pay full price.
Second, their 'Welcome' discounts (10%) and Newsletter codes (15%) are a total Clickbait. I registered, shared my personal data, and subscribed to their emails, yet NOT A SINGLE promo code worked in the basket. The price remains exactly the same at checkout.
This is a textbook example of False Advertising. They trick people into registering and giving away their personal information under the promise of discounts that technically do not exist.
Shame on you, Theramid. A reputable European brand should not rely on such cheap, dishonest marketing tactics. I will be taking my business elsewhere and I strongly advise everyone to avoid this website. They don't respect their customers' time or their own promises

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you had such a frustrating experience, but we would like to clarify a few important points:

During our Spring Sale, the 25% discount was automatically applied to all products, no code was required. For this reason, additional codes (such as welcome or newsletter discounts) could not be applied on top. This is standard practice in e-commerce, as multiple discounts are generally not combinable.

Regarding the newsletter: after signing up, a one-time 10% discount code is sent. This code is intended for use outside of active sales periods. If it does not work during a sale, it is due to the non-combinability mentioned above.

As for the student discount:
– In Spain, verification can be completed directly via our website.
– In Italy, students can simply send a valid proof (e.g. student ID or enrollment certificate) to our customer service, and a 15% discount code will be issued.

We strongly reject the accusations of deceptive or dishonest practices. Transparency and fairness towards our customers are very important to us. If you are still experiencing issues, our customer service team is always happy to assist you directly and find a solution.

Very slow and very tricky

Very slow and very tricky. They email very kindly but do nothing at all. I was even more successful to follow up their shipping. It is written free shipping to Switzerland but they refunded less than the amount I paid. Although I sent all unopened immediately back because of their delayed delivery. In addition I must pay customs clearance of 20 Francs. Also I looked up some of their products in detail and both their eye repair complex and invisible sunscreen are including BHT, which I avoid as an ingredient for certain! I am not recommending this company at all!

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify a few important points:

First, regarding customs fees and returns: On our website, we clearly state that orders shipped to Switzerland may be subject to customs charges, which are determined by local authorities and are not under our control. We also clearly communicate that return shipping costs are to be covered by the customer. These policies are transparent and available prior to purchase.

Regarding your refund, it reflects the applicable conditions as stated in our return policy.

Concerning ingredients: All product ingredients are fully disclosed on our website in compliance with strict EU regulations. Ingredients such as BHT are legally approved, widely used, and considered safe within regulated limits. This information is publicly available, allowing customers to make informed decisions before purchasing. Presenting this as misleading or hidden is therefore not accurate.

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, but we stand by our transparency and adherence to all applicable regulations and guidelines.

Best regards,

Unreliable logistics

I ordered based on the advertised 24–48 working hour delivery to Portugal, but this timeframe was not respected and my order was not delivered as promised. The first order was not dispatched and provided to carrier, after I contacted support team it was re-created just to failed to be dispatched again.
Customer support was also disappointing. The chat is essentially useless as you cannot speak to a real person, and email responses are slow.
Overall, unreliable logistics and poor communication.

Update:
I eventually received my 2nd order in 5 working days. Email support did eventually help resolve the issue and arrange a replacement shipment, so I appreciate that effort.
However, I was disappointed that my first order was lost in transit and I waited nearly a week without any notification until I contacted support myself. In addition, the chat support remains unhelpful as it does not connect you with a real person.
While the issue was eventually resolved, the delivery promise could definitely be improved.

Dear Mariia,

We have reviewed your case carefully. It appears that your original package was lost in transit, and our colleague, a real person, immediately arranged a replacement shipment for you.

While we understand your frustration, your repeated claims that the order was never dispatched are not accurate, as we have verified that it was indeed sent. We always strive to process and ship orders as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, we cannot control the transport process once the package leaves our warehouse.

We hope you understand our position and appreciate that we are doing our best to support our customers.

Kind regards,

You will absolutely find your must-have!

All the products I have used and am still using are the best thing that could ever happen to my skin!🤌🏻
I have been in love with this brand for 4 or 5 years now — the products are absolutely luxurious.
My disappointment of the century is that I can no longer order them in the USA 😭
Two product lines of the brand — and two lines of incredible formulations!
Theramid:
• Vitamin C serum — the best stable formula with amazing results for skin tone.
• Azelaic serum — improves skin tone, minimizes enlarged pores, and helps with inflammation.
• Mandelic serum — an ultra-gentle exfoliating serum for peeling and an even skin tone.
• Vitamin K serum — an antioxidant for the colder seasons, perfect for nourishment and care for 30+ skin.
Transparent Lab:
• Acid exfoliating toner
• Ceramide serum
• Rose gel and PHA gel — my absolute favorites!
• Super Serum Vitamin C — an affordable alternative to Theramid.
• Bakuchiol cream — a perfect base for introducing retinal into your routine.

Theramid

Theramid serums and other products from Niche Beauty Lab are excellent, effective products that deliver real results and offer outstanding, well-rounded routines for different needs. Highly recommended.
The customer service is excellent as well — patient, kind, and genuinely helpful.

Shipping chaos, fake delivery status, and zero customer care

Very disappointing experience with Niche Beauty Lab.

I placed an order on November 2, and the status only changed to “on the way” on November 24. Since then, I have had to constantly follow up because there was no tracking number provided, unlike my previous orders. Every time I contacted them, the response was the same generic message saying they were “waiting for their warehouse response.”

It has now been over 3 weeks since they claimed the order was shipped, yet they still cannot provide a valid tracking number. The order suddenly shows as “delivered,” but the reference cannot be tracked on DHL at all, so I have no proof of delivery.

What makes this worse is that I placed another order on November 30, which shipped on December 6 and was delivered on December 12. This second order was also not trackable through their useless Amphora Logistics page, but at least I was able to track it using a DHL reference. This proves that proper tracking is possible, yet they failed to provide it for my first order.

I’ve followed up repeatedly via email and Instagram, but I only receive copy-paste replies saying they’ve contacted their warehouse and are waiting for an update. As of today, I still have no real update, no tracking number, and no resolution.

If you check their Instagram comments, you’ll see many customers experiencing the same issues. Poor communication, lack of transparency, and unreliable shipping. I will think twice before ordering again.

Wrongful toll declarations leading to inflated UPS chargey

They make wrongful toll declarations leading to insane inflated UPS charges the customers get charged with. If pointed out these mistakes that are obviously on them, they just pull the old "import fees are out of are control" - no they are not if you are a serious business! So just don't bother ordering from them to Switzerland, you might get UPS charges (or also might not, it's completely random in my experience), no matter how high or low the cost of your shipment.

Adios

Ordered a couple of times from this store, products are ok, but nothing I would pay a fortune for. With the last order, Black Friday Special deals, I had to pay an additional 35 CHF on top - more than the actual product. First time, never happened before, won't order again. According to UPS this is due to changes Niche made.. yes, Niche, you clearly write it's the customers responsibility somewhere in your AGBs, but don't make the customer responsible if you change the way how you export and when you change your agreement with UPS, just to save costs. Also, customer service is absolutely inappropriate! Adios...

Hidden Fees Not Disclosed on Website

I’m really disappointed with Niche Beauty Lab. I placed several small orders under the Swiss tax-free limit, expecting that any additional charges would depend solely on the legal rules of the destination country — exactly as stated on their website.

But in reality, they ship only with UPS, and UPS charges import and brokerage fees even when no customs fees are legally due. This directly contradicts their claim that “customs and tax expenses of the destination country” apply. They do not mention anywhere that their chosen carrier adds its own fees regardless of local law.

As a result, I’m being charged over 60% of the product value for a parcel clearly below the Swiss VAT threshold. For me, this is misleading and feels like customer deception — the information is incomplete, non-transparent, and creates false expectations. The surcharge is also extremely disproportionate.

Considering how heavily the brand advertises in Switzerland, they should clearly warn customers that UPS adds its own fees even when no charges are due under local law. They are clearly aware of this issue given the many complaints on their social channels. I’m writing this so other Swiss customers are warned.
