“The chair was nice but delivery pretty awful - I was told that the chair would arrive "tomorrow" and when I said I wouldnt be there they suggested I leave the porch open or the garage or just delivery to a neighbour !!! When I finally got the delivery the chair was just dumped through the gate and I had to unpack it to get it in the house myself and then put the legs on !! For the price of the chair I expected more.”

“Dispatched very promptly. Unfortunately, when opened the soft toy was very grubby and needed washed to remove staining”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review, however we have checked and you did not get in touch with us about your concerns The teddy you purchased https://www.maisonwhite.co.uk/product/jellycat-bashful-silver-bunny-very-big/ is massive, they are stored sealed in their boxes which they arrive in, from Jellycat , they are then packaged into the postage box when they are ready to send. So we are most confused about how it could have got grubby. We are more than happy to help customers should they have any issues with their products and would refer this to Jellycat as explained above there was absolutely no way these items can get grubby due to the way they are stored whilst they are with us.

“Panda teddy is a lot smaller than expected it Says it’s a medium, yet more like a small. I paid for extra fast delivery, it was delivered on the correct Day, but not time. It was actually over 4 hours late. So, inconvenience there!! The teddy is lovely, soft/snuggly but I had I of seen it in person I wouldn’t have paid the price I paid for it, as I don’t think it’s worth it. However, I did keep it as I was in need of a panda teddy asap.”

Thanks for the review. The sizes of the products are all given on the website. These are there for you to view and compare at your leisure I can see your parcel was delivered at 1.18 in the afternoon https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/VY454038230GB I cannot see where there would be any inconvenience, we do not offer a timed delivery. Royal Mail only give an estimate of delivery time when they text or email you to let you know the parcel is on its way, and there is no guarantee of time for delivery. IF they have given you a guaranteed time please do let us know so we can bring this up with ourselves. You can email us. The delivery times are only aims, as stated in the information given to you. IF you have an issue with the delivery time, we would suggest you bring this up with your local post person, who would have been on their round since 7am delivering parcels to many properties, and I am sure they would love to hear your feedback about why you feel your parcel was delivered so late.

“Price is slightly higher than the average market price. Found the same product which is £2 (or even more) at Presence Direct cheaper than Maison White's retail price. Hence, slightly disappointed for not offering a price match or a convenient cancellation process.”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review. https://www.jellycat.com/yummy-bunny-yum6b/ this is the product you purchased the RRP is £14. this is the market price. You purchased this item for £11.95 which is below the RRP. Presence direct sell this same item for £10.40 We do not mention anything about price matching, so I'm not sure how you feel disappointed in something we do not offer. The difference in price is £1.55 If you want the cheapest price for the product then it is up to you to shop around more. Our cancellation process is clear, customers can email or call us to request a cancellation before the product is dispatched. This is at our discretion. We are always will to save your return postage costs, if the order has not yet been sent. You can also request return your goods within 14 days of receiving them. This is in our terms and conditions and on our FAQs page which can be found on our website before and after purchasing.

“Unfortunately I paid extra for gift wrap but this wasn’t done, which effected my experience.”

“As I did not need the fabric at speed I would be happy with second class postage for £3:75.....however by the time I had paid it was £5:50 for postage. More selection/ or ticking needs to be clearer on page before payment .”

maisonwhite.co.uk 3 star review on 8th July 2021

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review Though I am perplexed. The cheapest options is always preselected. So this would be £3.95 for tracked 48 And the tracked 24 (1st class) option you selected is £5.50. This is only charged if you select it. Please see attached image showing options

“The picture shows 2 hedgehogs - but the shop only has 1 for sale. I have asked for techical help with the product (it has a USB input, but I'm unsure if it re-chargeable as you might expect...) but did not get any answer - such a simple question !”

Hi Steve Thanks for your review. We did reply to your email, to let you know that we had to refer this to the manufacturer. We have now had a response and have sent you the information. Unfortunately this took a couple of days to obtain and I am sorry you did not receive a swifter conclusion. “ The batteries are not rechargeable- you can power by the batteries or the USB cable.” I hope this helps Thanks Elise

“Very disappointed with the size of the bears. I thought they would be a little bigger. Other than that I was reasonably happy”

“I am disappointed about the exchange process. I ordered the incorrect size so contacted maisonwhite to ask how I go about exchanging for the correct item. I paid £3.95 for a 2nd class Royal Mail delivery delivery service. When I asked if I could exchange for a different size I was informed I would have to return the item at my own cost. And then place a new order paying the delivery charge of £3.95 again. So that would be a total delivery cost of around £12. I work for an online retailer where we post out an exchanged orders free of charge. I feel maisonwhite should be doing this too. I will be keeping the incorrectly ordered item and gifting to someone else, and reordering the new item elsewhere.”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review. I am sorry you feel this way. Postage always comes at a cost for either us as a company or for the customer. We offer a free postage option over a certain amount. However we have yet to find a cost effective returns service, which would benefit us as well as the customer. Its great that the online retailer you work for can pay for the cost of exchanging orders, but I'm afraid its not something we offer. We are unable to offer an exchange service. However you are of course welcome to return within our returns period, no questions asked.

“Cannot write a good or bad review as I’ve still not received my product, was due a week ago. However I am putting this down to the Royal Mail being over worked due to COVID-19 and Christmas and my tracking still tells me where my product is. Kind regards Joanna”

Helpful Report

Thanks for leaving a review, we haven’t heard from you about this and we are sorry it has not yet arrived. But yes we would usually expect to see items delivered by now. And you are correct in the delays Royal Mail are suffering because of the situation has an impact on some deliveries. We appreciate when customers understand this. We have done all we can to dispatch and use a traceable method. However we cannot control how RM work, though we will help wherever we can. I am sure you will have you parcel soon. Please email us to help you, if you have any further issues.

“Online ordering and communications good.”

Helpful Report

“I ordered three things, two of which arrived no problems but one Christmas decoration was barely wrapped in Paper so obviously smashed on route to me. When I asked for a replacement I was told that wasn’t possible and instead received a refund. Disappointed as this was a Christmas present, but happy with the other two purchases.”

Helpful Report

We are glad to hear the other items were satisfactory, and we apologised for not being able to replace the broken item. We obviously sent you a full refund for the bauble as we could not replace it.

“Lovely tray smaller than I thought”

“Ambiguous description of item meant that it wasn't what I was expecting, but quality of goods and service was good.”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review, we haven't heard from you about this though, though email or phone, so unsure why you feel the description was ambiguous? We are pleased the quality and service was good!! Thanks Maison White

“Prompt service, fortunately the gift box that my item was in was not damaged. The actual delivery box and packaging inside needs to be more substantial as this was in a poor state when I received it.”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review. We very rarely get complaints about the way the parcel is received. We do take great care, to ensure the products inside are packed to the point they will not get damaged, as yours were found intact, the packaging has obviously done its job. And we are pleased to hear that. We also think environmentally, too much excess packing and plastic is just wasted. We ensure there is enough packaging to protect the goods, again this sounds like it was the case. However I think perhaps the problem is more with how Royal Mail have handled your delivery. I will forward your complaint as I feel it is important. And would encourage you to share your thoughts with them too. As it doesn't look great receiving a parcel in such way. Maison White

“I received curtins thank you I am disappointed with the curtins as they are very light and unfortunately I have disposed of packaging so I can’t return the curtins Kind regards Mary Mcelligott”

Thanks for your response. The curtains your purchased (cath kidston mimosa) are described and images provided about how they look. They are not black out lined, so will be light, in colour and weight. As our returns process describes, product packaging which forms part of the product is needed for resale, therefore required for a refund. However we did not hear from you prior to receiving this comment. Kind regards Maison White

“The item is nice but it came with four legs which had to screwed in. One of the four holes for the legs was too big so I had to improvise and fit it with superglue which is not an ideal solution. Was looking to buy another footstool but will now buy from elsewhere.”

Helpful Report

Hi Rajesh Thank you for your review, it is unfortunate that we have had to learn of your issue via this review as we have not had any other form of correspondence from you. We would of course been more than willing to rectify the issue had you contacted us in advance but now that you have made your 'improvised solution' we are sadly unable to assist you in any way. Kind regards Maison White

“Error from original order, resolved but expected better service as it was their initial error.”

“Disappointed it was on back order for so long and had to wait over a month for delivery”

Helpful Report

Thanks for you review, we are sorry you felt the need to leave 3 stars You were informed prior to ordering this item was on back order, which was shown on the product page, there was a slight delay in it coming in from the supplier, and as you had called us many times for updates we knew how much you needed it, and we sent your order 1st class. We hope your grandaughter is happy with your order now you have it! Best wishes Maison White

“Quality of item lovely. Disappointing packaging.Arrived in a plastic bag in a plastic bag. As giving as a gift I expected the same packaging as I received when I bought the item from Selfridges last year. Prompt delivery was positive.”

Helpful Report

I am sorry to see you are not happy with the way you received this item. However in the 80,000 plus Jellycat toys we very rarely receive such comments I can see you ordered a 2 soothers, which retails at £17 and £18 each plus postage from many suppliers, including . You purchased this at a discounted price for £13.60 £14.40 plus your postage option. It is a gorgeous gift for new arrivals. However, we do not say nor do we imply that we supply these in boxes or as a wrapped gift, we sell items which can be gifted or kept personally, we do not know if the purchaser is going to gift it or keep it. I would also like to highlight the expense at packing every one of these lovely toys as a gift wrapped or boxed items, we would have to massively up postage costs and packaging costs, therefore the cost to you, making this lovely toy you recently purchased far more expensive. The majority also do not want this therefore the waste would be a huge burden. We find our customers who receive their items in the post, particularly when addressed to themselves, arriving as we send them – packaged so the item is well protected. This way they do not get damaged or wet from the journey they make, also we restrict the amount of packaging to a minimum so there is less waste going into landfill. The packaging components we use are all recyclable. They also then have the freedom to keep or gift the item/s as they please at their leisure. Having said all that, we thank you for taking the time to let us know your comments.
