Untrustworthy poor supplier base

I ordered a personalised sign in a similar style to railway 'totem' signs having seen the supplier (Made for You Gifts) via 'Not on the High Street'. All the letters were to be capitals in the same height to mirror those seen on the real signs. I did not expect a replica sign but I did expect all of the capital letter to be the same type. The letter J was not and effectively renders the sign useless. The customer service was poor and my complaint dismissed. All I have is a sign not as ordered. Quite why Not on the High Street associate themselves with dreadful suppliers I do not know.

Excellent customer a service. I made a mistake with the spelling of my email address and had a panic with no confirmation of my order. Dawn from NOTHS came back to me very quickly with an update.

Used to love this website- not anymore

Used to love this website and bought all pressies on it. Not anymore - I will now always go to ETSY. Website - put a simple search in and completely random things appear. I would seriously advise someone sorts out SEO on website.

Great Product and Service from Grace and Vaour

We dealt with Grace and Valour through Not on the High Street to purchase two scarf rings. The product was beautifully designed and presented and arrived in very good time for Mother's Day. Thank you Rachel for your thoughtful and excellent service.

Postage Charge Dodgers

Very unhappy with being put out trying to find contact details for this lot.
I paid extra for quicker delivery -next day- and am waiting still.
I texted with James mc, plonker, whom told me one week before delivery.
Avoid at all cost as they're useless thieves of £4.99

I ordered (Nancy & Betty Studio) Christmas crackers. They were nice but one of the six crackers had no notion in it, which, for the overall price was rather a swindle.

When I wrote a review, Not On the High Street never replied.

Great curious good quality gifts

This is the 2nd time I've bought gifts/items from Not on the High street (25/7/2023 & 26/2/2026)and on both occasions I've needed some information on my purchases and when I've written to them they have replied promptly and been very helpful and friendly. Their items are good quality items and beautifully designed and crafted. I would definitely shop from them again.

I had an issue with an item I purchased. Its the first time I've had to return something. Fortunately Marine was at hand to deal with it immediately. Its the level of customer service I appreciate, and have come to expect from Not On The High Street.

I ordered an item ( not yet arrived)

I ordered an item ( not yet arrived)
I was offered a 10% discount and to join the NOTHS member club which I thought was free but was actually £10 a year
I joined thinking it was free and although it was my mistake I contacted NOTHS and was told the £10 members fee is non refundable!!!

Now they have asked me for feedback so here it is
Very unhappy and surprised at the lack of help and understanding from this company.

Always easy and great gifts to choose from

My experience is always easy, efficient and timely delivery.
The gifts are good quality, a little expensive, but a good selection to choose from.
Follow up with delivery and any issues is always prompt and helpful.

bad customer service

My order arrived with the wrong fittings. Unlike other companies who are happy to rectify their wrongs, 'Not on the high street', kept me waiting for 3 days before issuing a reply, only to pass me back to the seller, asking for more information, photographs and original packaging. It's only a couple of door handles it's utterly ridiculous you cant simply send the correct fixtures.
