“Absolutely shocking post sale customer service. Once they have your money they're not interested in problems. The only tool in their resolution box is future discount codes, as if you'd trust them twice!”

Hi there, We really appreciate your honesty here and are sorry to hear this is how you feel. Please know that when mistakes happen, we try our best to make it right. We've shared your experience with our team to see how we can improve the transparency of our Delivery Methods and how orders are fulfilled. Upon revising your order, we found it had arrived during our estimated delivery period for Next Day Deliveries (when ordered after 3 PM). Again, we do hope to keep being a part of your home, thus, we offered a future discount code. If there's anything else we can do, we'd love to help.

“The UX on the website was horrible. I thought it may due to using my phone, but then tried on my laptop at it was just as bad. Trying to resize photos and the whole page would zoom in so you couldn’t see the bottom of the screen and Thereford unsure if you had the size of the photo correct or not. I was given a 10% code for signing up to the newsletter. Well the code didn’t work at checkout. Had I not already committed to buying this present with someone else I’d have bought something else or bought elsewhere.”

“Wrong item received twice....still waiting a refund”

Hi there, We can't thank you enough for honestly sharing your experience here! Again, we're sorry for sending the wrong product. We encountered a system configuration mistake that categorized the wrong product and their inventory. This caused our initial and replacement to be incorrect. We've since fixed this but were unfortunately sold out of the original product. We've now refunded the order and didn't ask for a return of the incorrect products. Again, we're sorry and are here if we can further help.

Hi there, We can't thank you enough for honestly sharing your experience here. Again, we're sorry the order arrived after our estimated delivery period -- this has since been received. We're here if the product possibly arrived damaged or if one needs help returning it (we offer free 100-day returns).

“Ordered the black box with an item missing, after a few days the mistake was rectified but the price of all the items definitely didn’t add up to £100+ as advertised. This is the second time I’ve been burned by this, when last year it didn’t even turn up in the first place, and no replacement was issued. This will be the last time I shop with firebox.”

Hi there, We can't thank you enough for honestly sharing your experience here. As shared, the missing item which was sent and received -- sorry for that! We've also reached out to share that the £100 value of the 7 items is based on their retail value (non-discounted value). We've shared this with our team to see how we can improve the wording so it's not confusing that the value is based on discounted products.

“Absolutely rubbish, not value for money at all! Couldn’t be more disappointed with the box or with the customer service”

“Don’t trust the delivery times. They say 2-4 working days but that’s from dispatch, and it takes a week to dispatch. I ordered something last Friday estimated delivery 29th (2-4 working days later ) and it’s still not even been dispatched 4 working days later. Just advertise honestly on your website and I would have paid for next day delivery but because the delivery estimation was in time I didn’t think I needed to. Now I don’t have the item I need in time and have had to shop elsewhere. Seems silly to disappoint your customers because you are being greedy trying to look “competitive” when you aren’t. If you were just honest in your estimations you wouldn’t upset customers.”

Hi there, We appreciate you taking the time to write an honest review and giving us a detailed view of your situation. We are very sorry you had such an unpleasant experience with us. Your inquiry has already been resolved, but we would like to apologize once more for the inconvenience. During the black week, we were experiencing higher-than-usual demand and this has impacted both our Operations and Customer Support Teams. We are so sorry you were on the receiving end of this. We hope you can give us another shot and prove that we can do better. Kind regards Firebox

“I ordered 5 items and received 4, with a packaging slip that lists one of the items wrong, yet that wasn't included anyway, so i'm missing an item and about 1/3 of the value of my order. I've had no reply as of yet. Update as of Jan 2024: Firebox did refund me on the missing item after going through support, though they did not send/email any kind of coupon or voucher as they have claimed. I can't attribute a reason for that as i don't know if it's incompetence on the part of Firebox or just a lie at this point unfortunately.”

Hi there Thank you very much for taking the time and submitting an honest review of your experience with us. We are so sorry that you had such a hard time with your order. The inquiry has already been answered and solved by our customer service team. Nonetheless, we would be happy to comment on this once more: Due to a bug in our system, the item you were missing was not imported into your order, causing your parcel to be incomplete. We have refunded you this item, as well as shared a coupon, that can be used for your next purchase. We apologize again for the hassle and hope that you will give us another chance to make it right. We wish you a happy new year! Best regards Firebox

Hi there, We can't thank you enough for honestly sharing your experience here! We've shared this with our Product Team to keep in mind and revise with the manufacturer. I've reached out to you directly to see if there are any defects on the product or if we can help you return it (we offer free returns for up to 100 days). Looking forward to hearing back from you! Best regards Firebox

“Awful service. My package was put in my bin without any acknowledgement (no note through the door/email). When I contacted firebox to say it wasn't delivered, I was told it was and that it wasn't their issue that the delivery driver hadn't notified me and maybe I should check my bin more regularly. I pointed out I wouldn't rummage in my bin daily on the off chance and was told this wasn't their problem. Will never use again. The gift I ordered is ruined and wasn't cheap.”

Hi Charlotte We are really sorry that you did not receive the quality you deserved. This was definitely not fair and you should have not been sent the socks in this condition. We have refunded you the full amount for it. Massive apologies for the inconvenience!

“I ordered wrapping paper for my boyfriends 30th 2 weeks ago, I never received an email to say it had shipped so I have chased via email and comments box on their website and received no response, I then sent them two messages on Instagram and these were ignored. I then commented on a recent photo they had posted asking if somebody could please respond to my emails/ messages and they blocked me. It wasn't a rude message! It was really expensive so am quite upset that it hasn't come and the customer service has been so bad. I've no idea how to even begin to get a refund now either as there is no response from anyone.”
