Good Experience

I didn’t realise shipping was from the Netherlands as ordered from Toms UK, until email confirmation, I then read the reviews on here so was worried.
I ordered on Saturday 26th July and they arrived perfectly on Friday 1st August.
Only reason for dropping 1 star was delivery date changed about 4 times and said needed to sign for them, I couldn’t keep changing plans to be home and in the end I wasn’t but no signature required in the end anyway, they were left on my doorstep which is safe as cannot see from the street.

Do not order if you want to actually receive what you paid for…

Key phase in your reply ‘looking into the delivery issue’ - but not actually doing anything about it. 😂 also the amount of times you’ve stress what ‘you’ did when all of those things are what I told you - it’s laughable.
Yep I’ve asked for a refund as I’m not going to wait 2 weeks to have the exact same issue. So yes, brilliant, I’m out the sandals I ordered plus a load of stress for absolutely nothing.

Re the reply: no it’s not been a day- there’s now been 5 days where it’s been scanned and just sat there. The only reason I’ve had any communication with you is because I reached out - nothing from you otherwise at all. The problem may not have started with you but the terrible customer service certainly has everything to do with you.

Ordered some sandals as a replacement for a well loved pair of TOMS. I REALLY wish I’d read these reviews first! Never had such bad customer service. They DO NOT listen. I received emails telling me the delivery address was incomplete (even though I used their system to chose a locker delivery! so if the address is incorrect it’s their/UPS fault.) Yet they did absolutely NOTHING to rectify just kept repeating that it would be delivered and thanking me for my patience. Ummm… no. It’s not going to be magically delivered when you will not correct the address. (UPS won’t allow me to as I’m not the sender). DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! it’s a shame as I actually really like their sandals but I refuse to give this company any of my money now.

Dear Laura,

Thank you for your review, we appreciate the feedback.

If you selected delivery to a locker and UPS indicates the address is incorrect, this typically means the lockers are full and they’re unable to complete the delivery at that time. In such cases, UPS will usually attempt delivery again on the next business day. Unfortunately, these types of delivery issues can happen from time to time and are not exclusive to TOMS or UPS.

We completely understand how it might seem like nothing has been done, but please rest assured that we've been working with UPS behind the scenes to get this resolved. These investigations typically happen directly between the business and the courier, which is why there may not have been visible updates on your end.
In most cases, UPS is able to sort out delivery issues within a few days, though occasionally there can be delays beyond their usual timeframes. Since your order still hasn’t arrived, we sent you an email yesterday offering the choice of a replacement or a full refund, whichever is most convenient for you.

TOMS Team

Absolutely terrible quality and service - avoids Toms at all cost!

I ordered a pair of slip-on mules online directly from Toms. They looked very nice,but the first time I wore them, they caused several painful cuts on the tops of both feet. One in particular took a long time to start healing and kept re-opening and bleeding for days afterwards.

I emailed Toms about the issue with some photos of the damage done. However I received a reply from Jasmine suggesting they were the wrong size (they weren't). I emailed back to confirm they fitted and was asked to provide photos of the shoes, which I did. I also offered to send the shoes back.

I received a further very unsatisfactory reply back from Jasmine saying they could 'not see any visible defects' and the shoes cannot be returned as they have been worn (obviously!) I am disappointed by the quality of the shoes, but more by the terrible customer service. I will never buy Toms again and would advise anyone to avoid them. The shoes I bought were not fit for purpose and so I feel I have no choice but to seek advice from Trading Standards as this breaches the Consumer Rights Act.

I was lucky!

I ordered from Toms during their heatwave discount. I must be honest, after seeing all the negative reviews, I was a bit nervous about placing an order. I decided to go ahead anyway, and luckily everything went well. That said, I probably won’t order again, as I don’t like taking chances and I’m not sure I’d be as lucky next time.

Ordered a size 13

Ordered a size 13 - took over week to arrive. When arrived was 1-2 sizes to big (not correctly advertised size) has to return the shoes - took over a week to be returned. Re ordered next size down and still waiting for them it’s now been delayed further. 14 days for shoes is far to long to have to wait.

Awful customer service. Takes almost a week to respond to messages, delivery is supposed to be 6-7 days and no option to have them delivered quicker. Issue with customs, items were sent back and now being redelivered almost 3 weeks later with zero compensation.

I ordered the wrong slippers for Christmas as a present (in November) and am still waiting for a credit note to be sent to me, despite 5 email exchanges, I keep getting a generic email stating they have sent me a code to use but this has not received (yes, checked spam) and it is beyond frustrating. The slippers are now out of stock and the whole experience has been very poor.

Great experience with Toms customer service

My recent experience with Toms and the customer support team was very positive. I purchased some shoes before the holiday break and for some unfortunate circumstances I couldn’t return the shoes on time. The customer service team supported me with a credit note which helped me with the purchase of the right size. Happy with the shoes and with the customer support.

Hi CWright,

Thank you for your review, and Happy New Year from us here at TOMS! Apologies for the delivery delay you are experiencing.

We double checked and have unfortunately not received an email on 30th of December from your email address.
Our standard delivery time is 5-6 business days, and delays may occur around bank holidays and sale periods. Regretfully, UPS experienced delays due to Christmas and New Years. Your order is due for delivery by end of today.

Unreliable and poor communication

I ordered a pair of slippers. The money was taken from my account. Five days later, I got a message from my bank. The payment had been refunded. This was the first sign things had gone wrong. I later got an email from Toms saying ‘your order has been cancelled’. That was it, nothing else - no apology, no explanation. Nothing. I rang customer service who said it must have been because the slippers were out of stock. I’m grateful to get my money back but why not explain? Why leave me waiting for five days? Why did I have to chase them for an answer? Really poor customer service. I was offered a 10% discount on my next purchase to compensate but there won’t be a next purchase!

Thank you for your review.

Our sincere apologies for the lack of communication regarding the cancellation of your order - we are looking into why the order was not cancelled right away, as there was no stock available at the time. We are looking at how we can improve the communication for cancelled orders, as we can understand that it's frustrating that there was no clear explanation in the cancellation email.

I was shocked to discover that the Toms supply chain supports the autocratic and genocidal regime in China to produce its 'ethical' products. The fact that they display the 'B Corporation' logo also makes a mockery of both companies. For shame!

Dealing with an extremely rude and incompetent twit called Will, who refuses to help me with extremely poor quality wear and tear on shoes after just 6 weeks. After several unhelpful and rude exchanges, directs me back to Amazon who of course tell me to go to Toms after 30 days, as it’s a Toms product. Ignore the “we are ethical” BS, this is terrible company.

Poor customer service

Don't bother buying direct from this company if you expect any sort of reasonable customer service. Having been sent the wrong shoe size from what I requested when ordering, it then took multiple messages over the course of 2 weeks for them to accept that it was their error and to arrange a return that they didn't expect me to pay for. This was despite clear photo evidence that I had been sent the wrong size. They don't do replacements but the shoe in the meantime had then gone up in price, so I was unable to reorder the correct size. Such a waste of time!
Update from reply: I can't believe I have to go through this again. Regarding the US Vs UK sizing, please refer again to the emails sent via your customer services. The product was advertised in youth sizes, which doesn't correspond to either!
What it boils down to is I was sent a 25cm shoe, when the order was for a 24cm shoe.
