I returned a jacket to Style Society (WEB3939) and it was received (eventually... delivery companies have trouble finding the address) on 20th Feb. Despite several reminders I have yet to receive a refund (of £715) nearly a month later. It cannot take this long to process this and all I can imagine is that they’re trying to hold on to the money as long as possible. A response or, preferably, a refund would be appreciated.

Hi Mr Cossey,

We're very sorry about the issues you had with courier returning your order to us, thankfully they managed to deliver it successfully in the end.

Refunds on returned items are completed within 30 days of receiving back the the return as per the terms & conditions, we can see this was completed by PayPal so it is in your account today (23rd March). This is just over the 30 days but sometimes transactions in PayPal can take a different number of days to go through and we expected it to complete last Friday. Please accept our apologies for this delay though.

Kind regards,

Style Society

I bought a ladies belt from them mid…

Disgraceful! I bought a ladies belt from them mid December, it was the wrong size so sent it back via Hermes on December 17th requesting a refund. I heard nothing, so sent them an email. Sam replied saying they hadn't received it back yet. I phoned them, spoke to a women, told her that Hermes left it in their porch, she said they have a ducket but not a porch and said she'd have a look around the loading bay for it, but I heard nothing. By this time it was January, I emailed again and Sam said they're in an old mill with lots of retailers, so do I have proof of delivery. I sent him a screen shot of the delivery saying it was delivered on Tuesday December 17th at 10.39 and was left in their porch. In their terms and conditions it says that a refund will be given if proof of delivery is shown, that was January 6th and Sam hasn't replied. I have tried to claim for non delivery compensation from Hermes but to further the claim I need a 'Denial of receipt' form filled out online by Style Society. I sent that request to Sam but of course he has not even done that for me. So, I have neither a belt or a refund and cannot claim compensation from Hermes. This is nothing short of a disgrace. If you have a company that cannot guarantee being able to safely receive returned goods, they shouldn't be allowed to sell on the internet. My advice, BUYER BEWARE!

Hi Mrs Hammond,

I'm really sorry about the issues you had returning your item to us using Hermes. We take deliveries in every day without issue and don't have a porch as we mentioned previously, which is where Hermes are saying they left it. Hermes should not leave your parcel somewhere, it should be delivered to us and given to someone here to sign for it. If they have left it somewhere outside it could have been stolen. We have checked and received your email on Thursday requesting some information to assist with your claim from Hermes. We will review this tomorrow and provide you with everything you need to assist your claim. If you aren't successful with Hermes please come back to us and we will see what we can do for you.

Kind regards,

Style Society

Excellent company with quality products…

Excellent company with quality products and great customer service. I ordered a belt that was for a wedding and needed urgent assistance as time was against me. Sam and the team gave me a responsive, personal customer experience; even calling me up after I had placed my order to double-check on details and ensuring I was content. I received my belt in quick time with no problems and I am extremely happy with my purchase. Well done to Sam and the team.

Genuinely the worst company I have ever…

Genuinely the worst company I have ever dealt with online.

Firstly I had to wait over a week before they decided to send the order out. After I prompted them via email.

Then, the waist coat sent is not the one that is pictured on the website. Fair enough, I'll send it back and get a refund I thought. Hassle awaited.

I ordered the waist coat on 19th July and only today (27th August) receive an email saying my refund has been completed. Another 5 days wait I suspect....

The waist coat was sent back via recorded delivery (signed for 5 August) but Sam (director) said he didn't know who 'bob' was, the person who signed for it and couldn't locate it for a matter of days.(located it 13th August) Sam stated that it was a big building with lots of people in it, not my fault as a customer that people outside his organisation can freely sign for recorded delivery parcels.

Amateurish at best to describe this farcical attempt at customer service. You'd get better customer service at an overseas sweat shop. I can categorically assure Style Society that I will never use them again nor would I recommended others to. In fact I would go as far as saying, stay away! Save yourself the hassle and use a reputable company. Lesson learnt.

Hi Martin,

We're sorry that the waistcoat you received wasn't as you expected. As we explained, when the supplier shot the brochure images you see on our website they intended to run this waistcoat with horn buttons. Unfortunately they hit problems in production with the 4 hole button pulling on the cloth, so they changed to covered to avoid problems. As you didn't like the different buttons we advised that you could return for a full refund.

When Royal Mail delivered your returned order back to us they delivered it to another company in the same building as us and someone called Bob there signed for it. We simply advised you of this when we tracked the delivery and that we would need to locate it, we couldn't help the Royal Mail driver delivering it to another company and they wouldn't usually do this. We contacted other people in the building though and located your parcel successfully the following day.

We received your return back on the 13th August and after it had been checked the refund was actioned in PayPal on the 18th August. We can see today that the transaction in PayPal is showing status as 'Complete'. Our terms and conditions state that refunds will be completed within 30 days, your refund was completed within 14 days.

Kind regards,

Style Society

Style Society helped me out superbly with a wing collared shirt for my son's wedding...Having been let down by another seller I turned to Style Society and cannot praise them enough. I ordered a shirt and was worried it would not arrive on time...no need...it came with 3 days to spare..The quality and fit was of excellent standard and customer service second to none...Well done and Thank you!!

Excelent company

Excelent shoes! I can’t believe the quality of these for the price I paid!
Also excelent customer service. I have them the address of my office which was closed when they tried to deliver.
They had to send them again to a new address and so they did no questions or extra costs!
Great company!

Vey poor service

Vey poor service. Poor, amateurish packaging on the items when they arrived. I returned an item via tracked delivery at my own expense, but never received a refund for the item or even a response to my emails.

Hi Mohsen,

I'm sorry your order hasn't arrived. As explained by email, your order which was placed on the 24th November was despatched on the 26th November by TNT. When we tracked it today after you contacted us over the weekend to say that you hadn't received your order, we can see it is showing as delayed due to a routing error. We have provided you with the tracking number so that you can track it also. We have offered to despatch your order again but as you have requested a refund instead we will refund you immediately.

Kind regards,

Hi Scott,

I've looked in to your order and can see that it did take 8 working days to arrive rather than within the 5 working days that it should. I'm really sorry for the delayed delivery and hope that you was happy with your order other than the delay.

Very slow to refund a justified return

Very slow to refund a justified return. I returned my item over 3 weeks ago which they have acknowledged after I had to chase them and still not had my money back.

Not a great experience, and the reason I returned the waist coat was because it was of poor quality. Wouldn’t recommend.

HI Rob,

Your refund was processed this weekend so will show in your account in the next few days. The Heirloom waistcoats are very popular and we have found the manufacturing by Heirloom to always be consistently good. We’re sorry that you wasn’t happy with your purchase though. If you would like to order with us again in the future we can give you a discount code to give you 20% off as a good will gesture. All you need to do is send us a quick email and we’ll email you back with the code.

Kind regards,

Cannot praise Sam enough!!!

Cannot praise Sam enough. I basically didn't leave myself enough time to get a top hat for the Derby this weekend. I measured my head which was 61cm and ordered the grey Christy's felt hat. It arrived promptly and was just too tight on my head so after about 20 emails unfortunately Sam just couldn't get the 62cm hat delivered to me in time.
Would recommend Sam as he was brilliant throughout and will use him for other items on his site.

Trust pilot seems to work

Never had a confirmation of my order and when it arrived there was no paperwork or anything about returns. It was a very nice product but did not suit. Paid £11.50 to return jacket and still have not been refunded the purchase price over two weeks after it was signed for. Had no communication at any stage and apparently no reply to numerous emails and the icing on the cake is that the return address on the style society web site is NOT the verified address of that post code. A telephone contact number would be reassuring in such cases surely? Within a few minutes of this review going up Style Society were in touch by telephone which is excellent customer service. To be fair they had sent emails - they were in my spam folder and my refund is being processed. Refund turned up a bit later than promised and again to be fair they rang again to make sure i got it (from a witheld number) and asked me amend this review!). So at the end Im just £11.50 out of pocket. Two lessons trust pilot clearly works and so would a telephone IF you can get the number. But maybe an earlier phone call from style society regarding their service rather than their reviews would have minimised my angst.

Hi Robin,

Automated order confirmations are sent by email when you place your order and also when it is despatched. We replied to the emails you sent but as you mention in your review, like the automated emails these were placed in your junk email folder by your email service provider. This is unfortunately not something we can do anything about, we sent the emails as you discovered.

The return address is the address at the return address postcode, I'm not sure why you mention in your review that it isn't.

In terms of the cost of return, unfortunately we aren't able to reimburse you for the cost of returning an item unless the item is faulty or it is the incorrect item delivered.

We don't currently have a telephone number but respond to all contact emails promptly. We are looking to hopefully add a customer service telephone number this year.

Kind regards,

SS
