I spent £70 on two gadget mystery boxes as Christmas presents. Firstly both boxes had the same contents which was disappointing. Secondly the items inside were awful and useless. One of the ‘gadgets’ was as good as a McDonald’s happy meal toy and another item was some Bluetooth speakers that crackle when more than a foot away from the device. Massive waste of money.

Hey Craig, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are very sorry to hear that your latest Firebox experience was not satisfactory. Your Firebox experience as well as your feedback about it, is very valuable to us and we do not want it to be a negative one. We are sure you can understand that with the Christmas bank holidays, our inboxes were saturated with queries. Our small customer service team worked very hard to catch up with the backlog of messages across all channels as quickly as possible. However, we do understand the worry and the frustration that comes with order mishaps around the Christmas holidays. We looked into your order and can see your order has since been re-sent. We are very sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced with this order. Should you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us. We're always very happy to help! Regards, Firebox

Like another reviewer below, I ordered on 17 December and still don't have my item over 3 weeks later. The tracker says my item is still being packed in the warehouse. Emails weren't responded to.

Our small customer service team worked very hard to catch up with the backlog of messages across all channels as quickly as possible. However, we do understand the worry and the frustration that comes with order mishaps around the Christmas holidays. We looked into your order and can see it was placed after the Christmas delivery cut-off, which meant your order wouldn't have made it in time for Christmas (as stated on the product page). As the supplier closes over the holidays, production was only resumed in early Jan and your order has since been dispatched and delivered. Should you require anything else, don't hesitate to contact us. Regards, Firebox

Order not received despite text to say it was left in safe place and a card left. This could have been resolved with Firebox but despite contacting them by email twice, phoning (automated message), Facebook and WhatsApp I have still had no response. Appalling customer service letting company down. Next step will be to reclaim money via bank as you refuse to respond.

The test of a company is when things go wrong, if it goes right, there's little to worry about, if it goes wrong how they deal with it tells you everything, and Firebox are the worst company I've ever dealt with, period. If you get your package then it's all good, if not then good luck getting even getting a response from customer service, let alone getting them to do anything about it. But don't take my word for it, check the @fireboxhelp twitter feed (Tweets and Replies) - it's full of people with the same experience as me: most wait weeks for any response at all, it's astounding that they remain in business. I can not urge you strongly enough to avoid this company.

My Christmas order from 2nd December has never arrived. The phone number on the web site is a recorded message telling you to e-mail them. I have e-mailed four times, Tweeted, WhatsApped, messaged via the Facebook page, NO RESPONSE. £67 worth of goods I had to replace, no communication. I can't quite believe it. I've been a customer for over ten years!!!

My parcel has not been delivered and should have been delivered two weeks ago. I've tried to contact firebox multiple times since that date and haven't heard any response from them still.

I ordered a personalised gift on the 16th of December, with a guarantee that it would arrive before Christmas. Not only did it not arrive then it has still not arrived now on the 3rd of January. Still no replies to emails I sent enquiring about my order and about when it will be arriving. Awful service considering delivery and postage came to over £10.

The product was garbage and not worth even a dollar. It did not work. I have made three attempts via email to return the product And no response. Do not buy anything from firebox. Horrible product and even worse customer service.

I ordered a Mushion on the 16th December, the notice on the page said to order before the 17th for delivery before Christmas. It has not been delivered and I have received no update at all with news of whats happening (I wouldn't have a problem with it being late if I had been told before hand), this was supposed to be a christmas present for a friend... I have now tried to contact customer services 5 times (email, facebook message, facebook post, whattsapp message and commenting on their posts) with no response, I don't get a lot of phone signal to be able to call so have had to wait until I return to work to be able to phone. All responses I have had say they will respond within 2 days... this has not happened, appalling customer service.
