I was charged extra for water and whipped cream for my hot chocolate. Furthermore, without asking they assumed I wanted to pay in USD rather than pounds, adding more to their bottom line. The service was terrible at Alto. The assumptions of kindness and honesty towards a visitor from the US were unmet, especially during this time of duress for all!

I could give a zero, I would do. I had lots of problems with a refund. It’s taken for me about two months and 1000 phone calls as email never been replied . I had the promised to have compensation as soon they receive my order. But when I sent an email about compensation as always no reply. As proof email from selfiriges Dear Ekaterina, Thank you for our phone call. I am writing to you to confirm our recent phone call regarding your return of order 88713582, as discussed on the call I have looked into your case for you and I will be looking into having this solved as soon as possible for you and I will be calling you by 4 today for any update regardless. Once we have managed to arrange the return as promised I will be passing this to the relevant department to look into compensating you for the time the return has taken to be arranged and also the numerous phone calls you have made to us. In the meantime if you have any queries at all please do ask, if not I will be in contact later on today to discuss an update. If you have any queries, please do ask. Kind regards,

I use to love Selfridges but many brands do not have stock ... the place is dirty, toilets are dirty, fragrance hall-the worse place ever ... House of Frazer became better than Selfridges ....no words!

I wish I could give the company zero starts! They are absolutely the worst!!!!! While they have some great deals and brands, do not expect to get a refund if an item you order does not fit you. After a month since I returned my order, I finally contacted them and asked about my return. Oh, well, they do not know what happened to my return!!!! I returned an item with DHL the day after I received it. The DHL employee picked up a package in person as they always do when I return something I bought on European websites. However, DHL does not usually give me a receipt, which I do not care much about since there is never an issue with their services. So I provided Selfridges employee with a return ID from my email confirmation of a pick up. Apparently, Selfridges has no record of my return and they refused to give me a refund. I would at minimum expect them to contact DHL and find out about what happened because other Selfridges' customers could have an issue with their deliveries and returns. Instead I just got an answer that Selfridges does not know what happened and they are not going to refund my purchase! That's some shitty customer service. I advise everyone to spend your money elsewhere! I will never order from Selfridges again!!!!!

Worst customer service ever. I shopped 4 pieces of cloth on 9 Dec, however, it’s been more than a month, I haven’t received this delivery and no tracking information at all. I contacted customer service for 5 times, only got auto-reply and twice with someone telling me that they’re gonna look into it, but never got any follow up. My Christmas gifts are now just nowhere to be found and I can’t even get a refund.

I ordered a Tom Ford £380 wallet for my husband’s Christmas present and received an empty TF box with just a price tag in it. After exchanging emails with customer services I was told they believe I received the wallet and were not going to refund the money! Be wary of making expensive online purchases from Selfridges. Their packaging people steal the goods you have already paid for and get away with it.

Staff are polite and the quality you get for your money is excellent. They gift wrapped my order really well and it was delivered to my house very shortly after (1 day). Would highly recommend!!

Selfridges has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It is beyond terrible, completely and utterly unprofessional, rude, unhelpful and shocking

Long story short, I ordered a product online because two stores (London & B'ham) had no stock - a whole 18 days before Christmas. Selfridges lost my parcel before it arrived with the courier, and I had to call 10 days after ordering to find this out. Then - "We will refund your order, wait 3-5 days and then place another order" - umm, no. A manager then promised to refund my order to a voucher, but then use this voucher to raise a new order and express deliver it for my troubles. I should hear from them tomorrow - okay, great! I wake up to an email - "We were out of stock online, so you have no new order but here's a e-voucher refund (which can only be used online - not in store). Selfridges didn't have the decency to call and explain/discuss - this is a total cop out. I called again to complain, and the 3rd supervisor I spoke to started rattling T&Cs at me and showed no sign of remorse. So, end of the story - my partner is left with no Christmas present, I'm left with a voucher that I don't want to grace Selfridges with (not that my product is in stock anyway), and I receive nothing in the form of compensation. Thank you @Selfridges, you've not only ruined someone's Christmas but also lost a loyal customer and brand advocate!

NEVER PURCHASE FROM SELFRIDGES!! So horrible customer service. My friend bought me a pair of Balenciaga sneakers size 37 and they have her size 38. She when on holidays - long story short I didn’t have the receipt and could not exchange the shoes. As I was lucky I sold the pair the same price I that my friend got them and bought the correct ones from Harrods. I ALWAYS BUY ALL OF MY CLOTHES FROM SELFRIDGES... NEVER AGAIN!! I went in store to talk to a manager and he made me feel like a thief and like I was trying to take money from them. I never even ask for a refund I just wanted the correct pair of shoes and thought I could ask. Made a complaint to the customer service and my point was not the shoes but the fact that they treated me so poorly. Dean Fowler who is the Operations Manager at Selfridges, God knows why, was so useless and he was not even responding to my questions. It’s the 3rd time I experience this behaviour from a manager In Selfridges, not only towards me but I heard once a manager shouting at a staff member calling them stupid and useless. I didn’t even mentioned anything about the shoes, just for the horrible behaviour and his respond: “we need a receipt”. My reaction: “Have you got no brain as the other manager? I am talking about the treatment of people and employees and you do not respond about this shows how unethical you are yourself !! Shame on you.... that’s why your biggest achievement in life would be to remain a useless manager !!! You don’t know how to apologies !!!” His respond: “Have a lovely day” SARCASTIC MUCH!!!! Shame on them seriously !!! If you can afford to buy expensive clothes better purchase them from the actual boutique or Harrods which they have a excellent customer service!!! Currently, we live in a society we’re people exploit other. Don’t participate in this abuse which they use on their staff members and subsequent their customers.

I am writing to warn anyone who wishes to use Selfridges website. I ordered a Christmas present and paid the money for it. Six days later, I receive a text saying that there had been a technical When I phoned, there had not been any technical error. The Company then said it was out of stock, even though it had been when I ordered the product. Selfridges cancelled the order. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE EITHER COMPLETELY IMCOMPETENT TAKING MONEY WITHOUT ANY INTENTION OF PROVIDING THE PRODUCT.

Not customer service related BUT Selfridges! What have you done to your Christmas window display & shop?! Visited as a child & then with my daughter; your windows were magical! Left without making a purchase..the atmosphere was so disappointing! What a let down! Spoke to an assistant who replied that she’d had so many people making same comment..up your game or don’t you care?

HUDA Beauty, Oxford St. store. I picked up in a mascara at the Too Faced stand with the help of the lovely staff there. My friend wished to look at the HUDA beauty counter so we went over there and I thought I should pay there while she was browsing. I have never experienced such a rude customer service in my life. When the staff at the HUDA counter had finished their conversations with other staff, they decided they would bring their attention back to their customers. As there was someone paying at the till I decided to queue behind them.When I went to pay I was served by this terribly rude young woman with blonde hair. It was clearly obvious by queueing up at the till that I wanted pay for something so this young lady decided to stare blankly at me to see what I wanted. I then said I would like to pay for the mascara and left it on the counter in front of her, while I went to get my purse out of my bag. She then proceeded to stick her hand out directly above the item, stare at me and in an arrogant tone said “can you hand it to me”. She never even bothered to give me a bag, yet, she gave the previous customer a bag for one item. When my friend asked for a wipe to clean the swatches off her hand, she was met with a look of sheer disgust from this young woman, who gestured towards the tissues. Looking at her as if she were stupid, my friend then cleaned her hand with a ‘tissue’, and searched for somewhere to dispose of it, not realising the bin was beside her, the woman just laughed at my friend and pointed towards the bin. I had never experienced such appalling customer service until that day, no greeting whatsoever, utter lack of respect, terrible communication skills and an exceptionally arrogant attitude. The lowest level of customer service one could ever receive can be found at this counter! Customer service training would hugely benefit this staff member!

Sent wrong item in wrong size. only ever ordered twice from Selfridges but both times sent wrong items. Customer service is none exsitent. They take ages looking in too it,and then just say send it back. Rubbish service. Don’t care about customers or the amount of time you have too spend in returning the wrong item they have sent you!!!

What a poor service! Just look in what state my order arrived! Contacted them and was offered £20 off and can keep it (I agreed to its solution because knowing how difficult it would be to return this item) but nothing appeared on my PayPal account yet. Two days passed. And they reply very rare... My unboxing video is here https://youtu.be/G3PUu0hKV_Y Please just keep your promise!

Bought a pair of Christian Lobouton shoes as a gift for my fiancée on the eve of our wedding she tried one on an they were slightly to big. No exchange was available so I ordered a half size down and returned them. I received an email saying the shoes were scratched and the refused a refund! I called and complained saying that was a complete lie and threatened to open a dispute with paypal. They said they would put it to the brand specialist for review and reply in 24 hours 4 days later no response so I rang back and amazingly the shoes were now fire and they refunded the money!!!
