“I ordered wine as a birthday present for my friend. I have bought alcohol for her before but I found the purchasing and delivery process very clunky and off-putting. Firstly the Age confirmation app didn't work in spite of me providing accurate information from my drivers licence and voters roll etc. Then Royal Mail required my friend to provide proof of her age as well. I understand you need to comply with regulation on sales of alcohol but there must be an easier process.”

Hi Lynne, I can only apologise for the Age Verification process not going smoothly. It is law for the retailer and the courier to check ID on anything you need to be over 18 to purchase, so unfortunately we cannot change that process. We are looking to change the provider we use for Age Verification so hopefully that irons out any problems you experienced. Best wishes, Stacey

Hi there, Many thanks for your review. My sincere apologies for the issue you had with calling us. We had some technical issues with our phone lines that were out of our control, so we missed a lot of calls that week. I can only apologise for that. They are back up and running now, so hopefully it does not happen again. I'm happy to hear you were able to come into our showroom to purchase! Best wishes, Stacey

“Bought a wallet for our grandsons’ 18th birthday. The packaging was damaged and the wallet box was bashed and the wallet also looked a bit bashed! Not impressed with the engraving, could hardly see the initials. Unfortunately I will not be using Farrar and Tanner again.”

“I purchased a mantle clock with a personalised plaque. The clock was delivered promptly but there was a hair (approx 2cm long) inside of the glass - I emailed F&T and I was informed that this would of happened when the plaque was inserted. I therefore had to unglue the plaque, carefully remove it and take out the hair with some tweezers. Beautiful clock; poor QC checks.”

Hi Will Apologies, once again, that you received the clock with a small hair attached to the plaque. Please understand this in not our normal level of service. I can see from the email thread that we advised you how to remove the hair, which you did with success and were satisfied with that outcome. I also noticed that we offered you the option of a free return and replacement. Many thanks Kind regards Sue Customer Service Farrar & Tanner

“Really disappointed 😔 The amount of money I paid for the chess set as a birthday present and it looks really cheap. The clasps holding the board together feel as though they will snap off after a few uses. It doesn't feel 'quality', particularly in comparison to the one other board we have. There's no luxury/craftsman style feel for over £80. Quite disappointed unfortunately as I took time to research products and the photos look really nice. The lettering looks golden and almost embossed in the pictures but theyre a flat yellow which looks like it did scrape off easily.”

“Arrived OK after a few days (not as fast as Amazon!); poorly packaged, so the original product box was crushed, although appreciated that cardboard and no plastics were used. Very happy with the product ordered.”

“I was disappointed with the poor quality of the gift wrapping for which I paid extra. I ended up re-wrapping it myself with proper wrapping paper. The item was also smaller than I had envisaged and didn't stand out as a quality product. Relative to the £125 I paid (including delivery), i was disappointed.”

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your order. We completely understand how important presentation is—especially when it’s a gift—and it’s disappointing to hear that our gift wrapping didn’t meet your expectations. I have refunded the gift wrap fee. We also regret that the product itself didn’t feel like good value for the price paid. We aim to provide both quality items and a great overall experience, so I’m sorry we’ve let you down on this occasion. Your comments have been passed to our team to review both the gift wrap quality and the product presentation. If you’d be happy to share any photos or further detail, we’d really appreciate the opportunity to make things right. My email address is Jamie@outdoor365.co.uk Kind Regards.
