Annelouiseboutique Reviews 

Awful customer service. They have had my return nearly a month and still no refund, even though I had emailed and chased. Do not buy from here!

TOTAL SCAM. bought a dress didn’t fit tried to return it. Emailed for return label as instructed. They have ignored 3 emails, nearly 3 hours in live chat with no reply. What’s app number doesn’t work. Instagram messaging they ignore. Finally contacted me after I put negative comments on instagram posts. Absolutely disgusting. Not hopeful I will get a refund. Had to report them to credit card company and bank. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM.
Finally had a label from them to return item. Proof of delivery of return and ignored again when asked for refund

I will never order from them again. I ordered a dress to Estonia, but it was sent back. I refused to accept it because the import taxes were extremely high. Even though they received the package back, they still haven’t refunded my money!

I asked them to check the shipment status since they have access to the tracking information, but they never did. It’s been six months already, and I still haven’t received my refund.

They are scammers!

Still waiting on my refund from December 2025 and it would appear that after months of promising that they are escalating my case they have now just decided to completely ignore me. Awful service.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Awful service - avoid! Ordered a few dresses from them, refund requested for the first lot, didnt receive for weeks, despite me then placing another order and they didnt send those dresses for weeks either - they held onto c. £700 for weeks and at one point I had no dresses to show or confirmation of refund. I am still waiting for my final refund, which is now 3 weeks overdue and the excuse has been no returns portal for the last 2 weeks - I will now need to log with my bank to see if they can help - I will also be taking to social media - disgraceful service.

AVOID! What a terrible company, wish I'd read the reviews before placing my order. Ordered a dress nine days ago and it still hasn't been dispatched. "customer service's" responses are always "we are following up with our team regarding your order status" which takes them days to do apparently as I'm STILL waiting. They claimed the other day that due to high demand they're struggling to get orders out, yet still advertising all over social media for people to buy their dresses. Don't advertise if you can't fulfill the orders that are already in. Disgracecful. Will definitely be opening a case with Trading Standards.

As so many have said, I would give 0 stars if I could and wish I’d read these reviews prior to purchasing.
I actually seem to be one of the lucky ones as I did receive the dress I purchased but it didn’t fit so I returned it which is where the experience went downhill. Returns portal was “down” according to AI customer service response when I tried to log the return, eventually given an Evri QR code. Confirmed delivery on 6th July and have been chasing my £200 refund ever since. Genuinely don’t think they have any intention to refund me, I just keep getting a very infuriating response from emails about them having issues with their “refund portal” and there’s no estimated timeframe for it being fixed! Not ok, they’re breaching several UK laws but there’s never any acknowledgement of that since all the responses are from AI. DONT PURCHASE FROM THEM - no matter how nice the dresses look!!

Do not buy there, it’s a scam. Ordered 2 dresses about 2 months ago. Received an email that they have been shipped about 2 weeks ago, but no tracking code. Customer service has been largely unresponsive, I mostly get emails that they ‚still need to check the status‘ whenever I inquire. On their last email, they sent a tracking number and stated that the order was already delivered (which it was not). The tracking number does not work and does not specify a delivery service.

Beautiful dress , very well made, looks expensive.

Sadly this is the second time I’ve had issues. Returned item, refund still not given. Had to involve my bank now and report it as fraudulent. Such a shame as they used to be such an amazing boutique but seems to have gone downhill. The item shouldn’t even have arrived which is the worst part, they couldn’t fulfill the order in the timescales, so emailed me, I asked them to cancel and a week later they sent the order. They received it back straight away but yet over 3 weeks and I’m still without the refund.
*unsure why you have responded to this asking me to email, I’ve done that already on more than one occasion and it’s still not actioned, despite it being the same email account.

Awful service, still haven’t received my item after 3 months and they won’t refund me. Worst brand I’ve ever bought from, save your money!!!

I had nothing but compliments on my dress at the century London, everyone was saying how beautiful it was , asking where I got it from , so I said from the best boutique called ALB check them out , they make the best dresses ever !! My sister who’s birthday it was , said I was the best dressed there , thank you ALB ❤️

Lovely dress that I wore for our 29th wedding anniversary, great quality & quick delivery

The dress was lovely but a very small "large" and I returned it. The issue was that I had to keep chasing to confirm the return has been received, that a refund would be processed etc. The process was frustrating and mainly managed by an AI email bot called Lisa who didn't understand my issue. I'm still waiting for the refund. Would not order again from them for these reasons as I don't trust their return process.

Would rate 0 stars if I could.

Returned a dress over two months ago and have sent probably over 10 emails asking for updates, to which I get generic AI responses. Considering their dresses are nearly £200 it's not a small amount to lose. I'm still not closer to getting a refund for this as I'm told ill be transferred to their "specialist" team and then hear nothing back.

I also received a FedEx charge of £80 through the post as they sent my dress from their US warehouse (I live in the UK). Nowhere on the website or on my order did it specify that it would be being sent from the US and may incur extra charges, if it had I would not have purchased from this company. Considering their name has London in the title and there's no mention of US shipping, this is extremely misleading. I have emailed them about this issue and being reimbursed for the charge but once again I'm just being sent generic responses and told my problem is being dealt with, when it isn't.

I truly believe this is a scam company and I am now £280 out of pocket.

I purchased the Cassini Bloom dress for a wedding in Italy. The quality and weight of the dress is excellent. The dress hangs beautiful and moves so elegant when you walk. I’ve never had so many compliments!

Ordered from this website, despite seeing some bad reviews about delayed shipping. I had time on my side so I continued with the purchase, but wish I never did.

The dress arrived delayed, despite the estimate at checkout. When I went to return, there were "issues" with their portal, links didn’t work and it took multiple emails just to find out how to return, eventually getting their address to send back with tracking.

Once the item was confirmed as delivered, and after their stated timeline for inspection had passed, they continued a charade, repeatedly telling me it was still being “inspected”.

After about 6 weeks of the item being returned and me following up each week, they eventually stopped responding, at which point I said I'd be opening an AMEX dispute. Thankfully I got my money back, otherwise I'd be £120 down with no further response from the company.

I would strongly advise caution when ordering from ALB London. If you do order from them, please use a reputable credit card company, as they will ultimately be the ones to help you get your money back when ALB don't refund you, as I now sadly see in many other reviews since.

Absolutely love everything I order from ALB! My new polka dot co ord with lace detailing is incredible quality and fits to PERFECTION! I am a 10/12 on top and ordered a L which is great and a M in the trousers. I am SO excited to wear it on holiday in a few weeks time!

Actually, they deserve no stars at all!! Should be reported to
BBB. They do not respond to any communication. Products are substandard. My CC company is disputing with them now. Should not be in business!!

I placed a pre-order for a dress on July 8, with a dispatch date of July 10. I also paid extra for expedited shipping (2–3 days) to ensure the dress would arrive by my desired date.

When I didn’t receive any tracking information within two days, I contacted customer service several times by email. I only received vague responses, and the shipping date kept being pushed back.

To this day, I am still waiting for any concrete information about when my dress will actually be shipped.

The latest update I received was that it would be dispatched today, but that still hasn’t happened.

This is a €400 order.

I have never experienced such poor customer service. At this point, I believe this website may be a scam. I will never order from them again, and I certainly cannot recommend them to anyone else.
