“The hip flask arrived promptly and well packed. However I was very disappointed with the 'engraving' which spoilt the item.”

“Premium Walnut board was in fact plastic covered to look like wood which in the description was not mentioned. For Premium quality walnut wood you get plastic dice cups, plastic checkers and a cheap looking inlay of real wood veneers on board which appears fake wood too. The photo is nothing like the product received, and missing in the bearing off bar where checkers placed was the divider as photo shows but this is missing, so very misleading. Customer Services were very good and did follow up and said would pass my valid comments on. They agreed the description needs changing but adverts still showing the old photos and same misleading description. Item returned unused for full refund, still waiting”

“Ordered a set of champagne silver flutes, express delivery. Received them and noticed the engraving was lower on one of the glasses than the other. This was from one glass being taller than the other. Contacted customer service with the issues and photos as requested. Was advised it wouldn't happen again and sure enough, received the new glasses the next day with the exact same issue...”

Hi Lucy, I'm so sorry for the issues with the flutes. We are checking the stock on the shelves to see if there is an issue with the batch we received from the manufacturers. I can see my colleague offered for you to choose a different set/brand from the site but you informed us you had purchased elsewhere. I'm very sorry we couldn't find a solution for you before you felt like you had to go to a different company, but if there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kindest regards, Stacey

“I changed the delivery day for Monday as I was home, courier ignored this and decided to deliver on Tuesday. However I wasn't home and didn't know this was arriving on the Tuesday, courier dumped this outside on my door step in full view of everyone walking past. I got home at 8pm that evening to find this missing. This was supposed to be a wedding gift. Rung up Farrar and Tanner who are taking time investigating this... at the expense of me and my time/money. Useless customer service. Should be sorting this out in their time not my time while they hold onto MY money!”

Hi Ema, Thank you for your review, I am so sorry to see the issues with the courier. Our customer service team offered to resend the order to you but as you had purchased a gift elsewhere you requested a full refund. We are still within the 48 hour timeframe for our investigation with Royal Mail and will update you the moment we hear back from them. Unfortunately our process doesn't allow us to refund in this case before the investigation is concluded. Kind Regards, Jamie Customer Service.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced and I understand how frustrating this must have been. Having checked our system there seems to have been a shipping error. Your order is being dispatched today and I have upgraded delivery to our DPD next day service. My sincere apologies once again.

“We ordered a personalised chopping board for a special big birthday on December 8th. It failed to arrive by the birthday and then Christmas, New Year came and went too. It took to January 6th before I received a response to my multiple emails. Only then to discover that the item was probably lost in transit, eventually we were informed that the item was no longer available. Disappointed doesn’t cover it. My mother in law was so happy to have chosen something special for her son. Not easy when she is 80 herself. I will not use this company again and would not recommend them if you what something special”

I am really very sorry we were unable to complete the order for you - the chopping board you bought was end of line and as you know was lost in transit to you, of course when we came to arrange a resend the item was no longer available. It's frustrating for us too when things go wrong and we feel like we've let you down, there's not an excuse for lack of communication - we were simply overwhelmed with additional enquiries caused by the many Royal Mail strikes and parcels not arriving when they were supposed to. Sometimes things go wrong and we can in this instance only apologise. Farrar & Tanner Customer Service

“Placed a £100+ order on 8th December. Clearly a Christmas purchase and paid extra for 3 day delivery. Despite chasing, no sign of it and just one customer service response pre-Xmas saying "we have had a few issues because of the postal strike, I hope it arrives in time for you". 6th January now, still no delivery and now no replies to my email enquiries either. Wondering if this is a scam operation - I would avoid at all costs. I was fooled and have now lost over £100”

Hi William, I really am sorry the parcel did not arrive, many of the delayed parcels did finally arrive with customers once Royal Mail had cleared their backlog. We are dealing with an unusually high amount of emails due to the strike action throughout December and unfortunately this is also delaying our replies to customers, I can see that your parcel did not arrive (we have all of our parcels tracked) and have refunded your account. I have also called you to see if there's anything else we can do and really just to explain how this has happened and reassure you that we are a genuine company, just got caught up with all the courier issues of December. Thankfully this is now resolved. Kind Regards, Jude, Customer Service Manager

“Delivery arrived all messed up on Xmas eve with a piece missing. Delivery arrived late despite paying extra. Box left outside, driver just took a photo for proof. I sent an email to customer service and I am still waiting for a response. The gift was expensive and to receive it in such a bad state is disappointing.”

Hi Eloi, thank you for your review. We try to package all of our gifts as safely as possible and also as environmentally friendly as possible, usually overpacking to allow for safe transit. In this instance it does not look as if the delivery company took much care with it - I believe this to be due to the huge volume of parcels they were distributing over the Christmas period. I can see that the replacement pieces were sent and I really hope the recipient is now enjoying the game! Best wishes, Jude

Hi Simon, just tracked down your order via your email address - it is showing as delivered on 28 December, it had been sent to your local Royal Mail distribution office but then looks like it had been held up by the strikes pre Christmas and finally delivered just after. I am sorry that it was delayed and have refunded your delivery cost, I hope the recipient enjoyed the gift despite the delay. Kind regards, Jude

“I ordered the engraved Backgammon set for my parents for Christmas. The set arrived without the engraving. I contacted the help desk and was told they would send the engraving separately. It never arrived. When my parents opened the gift, the dice shakers were broken and splintered. I have asked for replacements and have heard nothing back.”
