“Very bad experience - I am suspicious of this site. I ordered a clothes airer and they sent stereo ear buds - twice! Not sure they ever intended to send the correct item, and they made it very hard to return (to China) for refund - I had to involve PayPal. I will avoid this site in future.”

Hello, Thank you for your review, we are sorry that you are unhappy with the size of the illuma lid you purchased. Please note that the Illuma-lids are designed to sit on top of Yankee large and medium jar candles.

“Extremely disappointed with the service received by Temptation Gifts. I placed a substantial order on 31st July for an upcoming birthday. It has been nearly two weeks since the order was placed and my items have not arrived or even been dispatched. I have tried to contact Temptation Gifts via email and via the Facebook page and I am still waiting for a response days later. This is very frustrating, especially when your website states you aim to despatch orders within 24 hours and you claim to have 'Excellent customer service'. My experience has been anything but excellent.”

Hello Mina, Thank you for your recent email, I am sorry to hear that the candles you ordered appear to be generating hardly any fragrance throw. Yankee recommend that the candle is burnt for 4 hours minimum to ensure the wax has burnt across the whole circumference of the candle, and also ensure the candle is burnt away from any drafty areas, Yankee also recommend that a Illuma lid is used on the candles, as this promotes an even burn throughout the life of the candle and also gives off the best fragrance throw, as the Illuma lid holds more heat inside the jar and allows the wax pool to cover a deeper area of the candle. Hope this helps! Kind regards, Chloe Customer Service

“The received mugs are VERY different in colour from the pictures AND very different from same mug types I bought earlier. Dissappointing!”

Hello Sussi, thank you for your review, after seeking further advice, i have emailed you today with the information received from Dunoon regarding the strawberry and raspberry design red coloured mugs in question,and we have on this occasion now refunded you for two of the mugs that are considered to fall outside than the colour tolerances that Dunoon allow for red pigments in the designs . The information advises that "there are 2 main possible variables with strong reds. Firstly the colour may vary slightly on the screen printing process of the lithograph, so different vintages may be slightly weaker/slightly darker than standard. The viscosity of the print colour, and the print machine set-up will have a bearing on this. Secondly, bright red colours are more unstable from a kiln firing point of view. This isn’t just our product, any supplier will face the same issue. It’s down to the chemistry within the red pigment and sensitivity to temperature and kiln atmosphere." "We check every batch against our approved standard and we apply a certain amount of tolerance for shade. If one vintage is slightly weak, and another slightly dark to standard and they’re used together, the difference could be noticeable." Kind regards, Rebecca @ customer service

“I was relatively pleased with the service until I received an addiional bill of 34 euros from Fedex on top of £25 for posting abroad! All this for an order of under £50! Fedex have provided no payment info so I now have to trawl through their website to find out an IBAN etc otherwise I receive penalty charges. It would have been so much easier to use Amazon I am afraid. Cannort recommend if you are ordering from abroad as a consequence of outsoursing customs to Fedex”

Hello James, Thank you for your review regarding your recent order. Due to Brexit, since the start of the new year, all orders being shipped to EU countries are now subject to customs tax and charges, the exact amount is determined by customs and excise in the country of destination, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. We are unable to arrange a system of delivery to the EU than means that the customer does not have to pay vat/local sales tax and or duty on the goods. , if your delivery is being made by FedEx, our chosen international courier , FedEx will usually notify you of any fee to pay either on the morning of delivery, or at the point of delivery. However, as in our international delivery information, in our experience, the implementation of additional fees and charges on international deliveries is somewhat haphazard and varies from country to country, so we are unable to estimate what, if any, fees may be charged to you. We therefore recommend visiting your government’s customs and import website for further information if you are concerned. You would have been made aware of this once in the checkout of our webstore and again on your order confirmation, we advise that any customs or tax charges are the responsibility of the customer and as per our terms and conditions, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that we cannot be held responsible for any charges levied by customs and excise, or FedEx, please refer to the link below: http://www.temptationgifts.com/international-delivery Many thanks for your comments, customer feedback to of paramount importance to us as , and I will of course pass your comments on, I am sorry to hear that this may prevent you from purchasing from us in the future. Kind regards Rebecca @customer service

Hello Deana, Thank you for your review. I am very sorry to hear that you still have not received your order. I can see that you contacted us on 21/05/2021 and a member of our team informed that Royal Mail has marked the parcel as delivered. However, upon closer inspection I can see that the address you gave us in your email differs slightly from the shipping address provided when the order was placed. It therefore seems that the parcel was likely delivered to one of your neighbours. If you would like to contact us via email, I can privately provide you with the address the parcel was sent to. Hope this helps and apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Chloe Customer Service

Hello Delphine, Thank you for your review. I am afraid that, due to Brexit, since the start of the new year all orders being shipped to EU countries are now subject to customs tax and charges, the exact amount is determined by customs and excise in the country of destination, and unfortunately these are beyond our control. We are unable to arrange a system of delivery to the EU than means that the customer does not have to pay vat/local sales tax and or duty on the goods. We are of course always in conversation with our international shipping services to negotiate the most affordable shipping fees possible, but I am afraid that the current shipping costs are the best we can offer at this time.

“Cup received congratulated and import tax of 25 € request by Fedex because I live in France. I have already paid for the transport for 25 €. With another receipt I would still have to pay the import charges requested by Fedex. I won't order anything from the UK anymore. Long live Brexit”

Hello Véronique, Thank you for your review. We absolutely understand that the new import taxes to countries in the EU are quite expensive. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to reduce these fees. We are always in conversation with FedEx to negotiate the lowest shipping fees for our customers. I am so sorry that one of the mugs arrived cracked. We would of course not expect you to accept a damaged item. We have therefore refunded the £20.25 you paid for the mug, as well as an additional £5.00 off your shipping fee, to reflect the lower total of your order. Apologies once again. Kind regards, Chloe Customer Service

“Ik ben heel tevreden over de producten. Ik moet helaas melden dat dit de laatste maal is dat ik bij Temptation Gifts bestel. Ik heb om te beginnen 50 euro verzendingskosten moeten betalen en ik heb nu pas een factuur ontvangen van FEDEX van 161 euro aan taksen. Hierbij hebben ze 15 euro aangerekend omdat zij dit geld hebben voorgeschoten zodat ik niet te lang op mijn levering moest wachten. Dus ik bestel nooit meer iets in de UK. De Britten zouden zo eerlijk moeten zijn om niet meer te verschepen naar Europa.”

“I will write another review after I see how this problem is resolved. My item arrived damaged, and looks as though it was already damaged when it was packaged. It was not advertised as a second. The advertised discount was only listed as clearance, which I assumed was due to the end of the holiday season. I also have no idea what I will actually be billed for this defective item, because nowhere was the price listed in dollars. I was foolish to have ordered it for the latter reason, but added to the unmentioned defects in the item, I feel a victim of false advertising, or at least false pretenses. I will contact customer service, and see how it goes. (I will say that Emma Bridgewater, themselves, are very clear in their advertising, and the customer knows what to expect!)”

Hello Ms Palmer, Thank you for your review. I am very sorry for any offense caused on the part of our customer service team. We always seek to provide efficient, friendly and polite service when dealing with customers. I can assure you that we do not alter address details and we always enter the address on our labels exactly as it is provided. We ship the orders in good faith as we believe that the information provided has been verified and is correct. When placing the order, our website prompts customers to check the address whilst entering it at the checkout and again just prior to entering your card details and paying and then again when we email you the confirmation of your order. However, if you have entered delivery details incorrectly, we will help you arrange re delivery to the correct address. If as a result of incorrect delivery details a parcel is returned to us by the Post Office or one of our courier firms, we can arrange re-delivery to the correct address. We do hope that this experience doesn't discourage you from shopping with us in the future. Kind regards, Chloe Customer Service
