I got in touch with firebox 2 days ago as I have still not received my personalised wine glass. I am now thinking its not going to arrive for Christmas. I ordered this on 10th of December. Its simply not good enough... I have tried to put the order tracking number into your system and that is not recognised, I can't get in touch with you overall a very frustrating experience.

Hi Donnie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are very sorry that you had such an unpleasant experience here. Your enquiry has already been answered by our customer service team via Facebook Messenger. However, we would be happy to comment on this again: Unfortunately, your ordered personalized wine glass could no longer be produced because there was not enough stock due to high orders and also insufficient glasses. Your order was also cancelled, and you should have received an email about this. The full amount has already been refunded to you. We apologise again for the inconvenience caused and hope that you will give us a second chance. We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year! Best regards Firebox

Much like the other reviews here, I ordered from Firebox with plenty of time for Xmas delivery and haven’t heard a thing. I ordered on 13 December and 8 days later still no shipment confirmation, and no reply to any messages sent through their website or social media. Fair enough if they’re very busy but they still have time to post on social media and tell people they’ll deliver before Christmas which seems to be lies? I only bought something stupid for secret Santa so I’m not out of pocket by a lot, but they sell a lot of expensive stuff so it could be very inconvenient for others so please be aware if you’re thinking of buying something big.

Hi Kylie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your questions have already been answered by our customer service team via Instagram. However, we would be happy to comment on this again: We understand your frustrations, particularly as it was so close to Christmas. You have ordered an item, which is sent directly from our supplier, and it needs more time. According to Royal Mail, it has been delivered on the 22nd of December. We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year! Best regards Firebox

The same experience as many others on this site have detailed. Company appears to be in meltdown. Order placed, charged, no confirmation via email, no communication, no response to email or social media. Completely let down for Christmas and utter waste of time and energy. Now have to contact credit card company for chargeback. Embarrassing and shameful company.

Agree with a review below, and had the exact same experience. I placed an order on 11th December and as of today (20th December) and was charged for it, but I have had no further email saying it's been dispatched. The tracking link on the website doesn't work either. I have contacted them by email 3 times, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and via the form on the website and not had any response yet. I can't find a contact number either which is really poor. It's all just really poor. It was meant to be delivered within 3-5 working days and it's now day 7 and it hasn't even been dispatched yet. Won't be using Firebox again unfortunately, which is a shame after being a customer for years and always being happy with my purchases.

Hi Sophie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We have received your requests via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. and our customer service team has already contacted you via email. They explained that part of your order was out of stock, so your order could not be shipped. We have cancelled the whole order and refunded it immediately. It is really annoying that such a technical error has caused so much inconvenience, because if the process had been correct, you would have been informed on the same day as the order was placed, giving you plenty of time before Christmas. I wish you a wonderful Christmas season with your loved ones despite the trouble with your order :( 🎄🎅 Best regards Firebox

Material is awful so I can’t wear it, it’s like a cheap Halloween costume and the image isn’t great either to be fair (I made sure the image I loaded was a clear one too). They’ve asked for pictures when I’ve emailed customer service about this, not sure how that will help as it’s the material.

I usually have a positive experience with Firebox, however after reading a few other reviews I agree that it is very frustrating when there is no response from the customer service team when an order has gone missing - especially when you have been charged for it. I have checked my junk folder and there is nothing to be seen, seems like this is more likely an issue on Firebox's end rather than their customers since it has happened many times to different people. I placed an order close to two weeks ago now and have heard nothing on it's status apart from the order placement confirmation (the product page estimated delivery/dispatch within two days), so I contacted the CS team both through the website and straight from an email and no contact has been returned yet. The order was meant to be a Christmas present so it's very concerning when you get no response or updates on something you have been charged for.

It hasn't arrived. It was for my Husband's 50th Birthday. Totally gutted and will never Firebox again based on this experience 😞 which is a shame as previous orders have been amazing

Hi Debbie, Thank you for your review, our customer service team has already contacted you by email but unfortunately did not receive a reply from you. We looked into it further and your parcel was delivered by Royal Mail on 12/12. We are very sorry that it took so long, but your order was produced by an external dropshipper according to your wishes. Due to the enormously high volume of orders and the pre-Christmas period, there have unfortunately been delays. We hope you have received your parcel and are happy with your order. Perhaps you will give us a second chance and stay with us as a customer. Best regards from Firebox

Still waiting on my item that I ordered 7 weeks ago. Several emails sent with no reply and obviously no contact number. Very disappointing as this was meant to be a birthday present

Hi Maxine, Thank you for sending us your review here. We have already tried to contact you personally by email, but unfortunately you did not respond to our request. You have already been offered a GBP 10 voucher as compensation, and a full refund has been processed. We hope that you agree with this solution and would be very pleased if you would give us a second chance and remain a customer. Best regards Firebox

I am a long term customer, must be at least 10 years, I've loved your website. For the 2nd time my account has been deleted after a reported IT problem. This is just not good enough. Firebox clearly do not care about their customers at all.

Never had any problems until recently, forgot my password so requested a new one. Never got an email, contacted them via facebook and they claimed there was no account with my email address despite me receiving an email with a discount code from them a few days previously. Was advised to create a new account, tried to put in the discount code and it was 'invalid'.

Not only I had to pay for shipping costs, but I also had to pay for a ridiculous customs fee (which I was not aware of). Also, I got a discount for a next purchase, as long as that purchase is for wine. However, firebox does not allow alcohol orders to my country - so the discount is absolutely useless. Very disappointed with this store.
