Red Candy ruined Christmas

It's 2 days before Christmas and Red Candy has not even dispatched my order, with ALL MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS, for everyone who will be showing up on Christmas Day. Now it's too late, the gifts won't arrive in time. ZERO response to emails sent 6 days ago. Great products but appalling customer service. Never again.

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused by the delay in dispatching your order, especially during such an important time. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to not receive your Christmas gifts on time and to feel let down by our lack of communication.

This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take full responsibility for falling short. Your feedback highlights areas where we need to improve, and we are actively working to ensure our communication and fulfillment processes are better prepared to handle busy periods like the holiday season.

If there’s anything we can do to make this right, please reach out to us directly at hello@redcandy.co.uk. We’d be grateful for the opportunity to address your concerns and restore your trust in us.

Thank you for your honesty—it helps us to grow and improve. We sincerely hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

We would love to make it up to you with a new year delivery of gifts!

Poor customer services

But the product itself is superb, red candy access to customer service is non-existent and that is why they scored one star the product itself would score 5. They responded to my telephone call or emails they would’ve scored five.

Terrible customer service - AVOID

Terrible service. Ordered on 13/12 to arrive in time for Christmas and found out on 23/12 that the item is actually out of stock and is never going to be dispatched.

If I had not followed up to check, I am sure they would have never even noticed.
Given a refund and told ‘thanks for your understanding” and that was it.

0/10 would not use again.

We’re truly sorry for the disappointing experience you had with your order and our service. This is not the standard we strive for, and we deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience caused, especially during the holiday season.

We understand how upsetting it must have been to learn that your item was out of stock so close to Christmas, and we take full responsibility for not notifying you sooner. Our failure to proactively address this was unacceptable, and we’re actively reviewing our processes to prevent this from happening in the future.

While we’ve processed your refund, we know this doesn’t make up for the situation, and we’re sorry if our communication fell short of expressing the level of care you deserve. If there’s anything else we can do to address your concerns, please reach out to us directly at hello@redcandy.co.uk.

Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us identify areas where we need to improve. We sincerely hope to regain your trust in the future.

I bought a wooden clock on 13 Oct

I bought a wooden clock on 13 Oct. It arrived quickly but was plastic. I requested return details....and from then on the process has been shocking. No response to emails, no answering calls. I eventually received return instructions, but 2 months later I still have not received a refund.
Do not use these guys as their after sales processes are non-existent. You'll find all these products elsewhere online, with vendors who are reliable.

Following my previous review

Following my previous review, I finally got a reply on 14/11/2024 my order cancelled and advised that my refund would be in my account within 5 working days. Today marked 7 working days still no refund and still no explanation, oh and they do not answer emails or telephone messages.

Used to love this store but placed an order early Sept and it's still not arrived. Keep being told that it'll be in next week... Looked them up on companies house and the previous owner ceased trading back in 2023 which makes sense as to why it's gone downhill so badly. Such a shame.

Terrible company

Terrible company. I placed an order on 9th September for an item that said 1-2 day delivery. I am still waiting for my item (7th November) despite me e-mailing them regularly and being fobbed off. I have asked for a refund but now the company are not responding to me. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Been waiting 6 months, given in.

Ordered an item last April, I have had to chase repeatedly over the last six months to get any updates as to where the item is and all I get is vague 'not in stock' responses.

Awful experience.

Awful - no indication of when item would be delivered

I ordered a tea towel on the 9th September for my friend's birthday on the 26th. The order stated it would be processed the following day. Life happened and I realised that I hadn't had a notification so got in touch with them on the 15th. They said they had a delay and were expecting it later on in the week. Fine, that was ok, I had plenty of time. Again, not forthcoming later in the week so I got in touch with them again. Not once were they proactive enough to email me about the delay, it was me that contacted them. Four emails later and there was still no sign or date of receipt.
The customer service rep was nice enough but offered me no solutions or assurances that it would be delivered. By this point, my friend's birthday had passed. I requested they cancelled my order and refund me and this was at least done as requested and in a timely manner. Awful awful company, I won't use them again.

Do not order from these people!

This is an awful company - I would not go near them! Ordered a Karlsson Flip Clock on 23rd August 2024 as was intended for a birthday present for end of September. Item was listed in stock on website. After a month of endless chasers we finally got our money back which was a complete palaver - they do not answer phones and the email response times are slow, albeit they did reply ultimately.

As an aside this company brands itself as a quirky ‘hey ask us anything, we are that fun company you can trust’ yet absolutely do not live upto this - they take orders for items they simply do not have and have an ongoing banner at top of their website about warehouse relocation - this isn’t the customers issue!

Honestly way better suppliers out there - like just a total aggro company to deal with - if you do go ahead use a credit card to protect yourself!

They do not ship your order.

I ordered 2 clocks about 3 weeks ago. I emailed customer service about it but I was told that it would take 10 days to dispatch from the time of ordering. It has been more than 3 weeks. I contacted again but no response. I would not use this company again.

Buy elsewhere, unreliable company.

Ordered 3 side plates on 04/08/2024, website says in stock and 7-10 day delivery. I had to change my delivery address and they did, promptly so thank you for that. They got back to me quickly.
However, 10 days later and it still hadn’t been dispatched so I emailed. Great response, same day reply, reassured order will be on the way ‘any day now’.
Another week passed and no dispatch, this item is for a birthday celebration which was a month away, I planned in good time. I emailed again, this time zero response (emailed 21/08/2024), now 28th so another week. Luckily, I paid on credit card so raised a dispute. Unfortunate because I saw a lot of things I would buy from them.

Happy to take your money but not to provide you with service!

Placed an order 14 days ago with shipping estimated between 1-3 days. Money taken and order confirmed, but since then - nothing. I've tried emailing and calling, but I've had no response. There was a brief message on their website telling you they'd moved warehouses and there'd be a 'slight delay' in dispatching orders, however, two weeks is ridiculous. This item is a gift and I'm quite cross that I've had to tell my friend that she'll have to wait for her gift, despite me ordering it with over two weeks to spare! I'd avoid this company sadly, which is a shame as they have some excellent items.

I am still waiting for my order

I am still waiting for my order. I have emailed, phoned, left messages and received NO REPLY. Absolutely shocking service. They never answer the phone but they're happy to take your money. All I want is what I've ordered but I'm still waiting. Red Candy if you're reading this, sort out your customer service!

Terrible stock issues

Half the goods on that site are out of stock with a multiple week waiting time. Waste of time browsing when what you want ufnt available.

Great gifts

I love this site and always look here for gift ideas (and maybe a cheeky one or two things for me as a treat)
In my experience the customer service has been brilliant and have always had favourable responses to my contact with them.
