I have been a good customer of Woolovers for several years and have made many purchases. recently I put in an order online. It prompted me to increase my order over the £80 threshold to get free delivery and what I thought was free returns and I decided to add on some socks to do this. The package arrived with the main item and two of the pairs of socks missing. I had to make several (very tedious and time consuming) phone calls, send several emails and photographic proof in order to get them to eventually agree to send out the missing items. None of the four people I had to interact with offered any apology. Finally the main item arrived, only to turn out to be massive, despite being a size 's". Then I find it is not free returns at all, not even for exchanges, which at first I though I would do. Having discovered this I decided to return and not exchange. This leaves me out of pocket by £4.80. Won't be using this company again. In the interim I had a faulty pair of beautif house shoes fro Boden. I made one phone call, received full apologies, new pair sent out immediately, no 'proof required, no return required. Also made a purchase from Weird Fish several months ago. Not too sure of it - but have 6 months within which to decide and can return for free. Guess which companies I will stick with in future!

I normally get large sized clothes - the XL sized jumper is tight and it is made in China - and they keep sending me catalogues!

Worst company i have ever dealt with. Send substandard goods of very poor quality. Had to pay £17 to return it. Then they denied receiving the goods back so had to send a photo from courier to prove it was in their building. THen they ignore emails regarding refund and then when you call them they say they are waiting for the manufacturers to respond as to whether they are happy to refund despite the fact that woolovers website says they have a no quibble return policy if you arent happy with the products will never use this company again, buyer beware, their website promises one thing and the reality is something very different indeed. i am going to dispute with my credit card company next as this seems to be the only way this will be resolved and a refund be obtained

I was charged for an item that I did Not receive and there is no way to contact them about this and to get the charge removed. I will never buy from them again.

Poor communication - no confirmation email that my order was sent. Fedex ended up losing the package and when I emailed them about it, they didn't even respond nor care what happened to my package. Don't bother.

Oh my God, this is one of the worst companies I have had the misfortune to interact with in a very long time. On December 3, my husband placed a phone order with them; he was assured the gifts he ordered for me would arrive in "plenty of time" before Christmas. Not only did they not arrive before Christmas, the customer service rep (if you can even get anyone on the phone) could not tell us when they would depart the UK! As of today they are still (allegedly) sitting on a loading dock somewhere in the UK. We have called them several times, before, during and now, after the holidays. Not only do they not know when - or if - the paid-for items will arrive; they refuse to refund our money for items we no longer want because the promised time of arrival has elapsed. What little customer service they have is horrendous. It's like talking to a passive/aggressive brick wall. When I insisted on speaking to a manager (after needing to argue the point with the CSR) I was placed on hold for a long time, then hung up on! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY - THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!

I ordered a few sweaters as a presents for my family and sent it to Russia. Order took forever to dispatch. Total delivery time from the day of order was 5 weeks. I was fine with it as it is better than not getting it delivered at all. After it was delivered my family reached out to me and sent some photos. One of the sweaters was the wrong color. I was upset and reached out to customer service about my experience. Customer service, the agent with name Olga, said that she is really sorry and asked to sent pictures of the sweater that my family got. I sent it. She said that ti make sure that it is a wrong color I will have to send it AT MY OWN EXPENSE back to England. They will look at the sweater and tell if it is the wrong color. The color that I ordered called "Marble"(brown), the color that I got "Ashes"(grey)[pictures attached]. So I asked my family to put smth grey near the sweater and take a picture. My sister put standard nike sweatpants and took a picture. I sent that as a response to Olga and said that unfortunately, I can't send the sweater back: 1.it is expensive to send it at my own expense for them "to look at the color". 2. It was a gift for Christmas. Olga's response was completely unprofessional and rude: she said that computer monitors (she made some grammar mistakes) are temp to change the color and makes the sweater look grey. She said that I had been sent the Marble color and that I don't see the difference. She also asked very rudely why I sent her a picture of a sweater with grey pants nearby. She said "it is not even a wool". I think it is an absolutely unacceptable customer service that is trying to make you look like a fool. Avoid at any price!

I live in the United States and ordered two sweaters from woolovers on October 24, 2021. One arrived with the top of the package completely slit open ( from customs?) and was not resealed. Luckily, sweater seem to be undamaged. The second sweater was “processed at Langley UK on November 8, 2021“ and as of December 10 has not arrived. In addition, tracking has no updates since the first entry on November 8. I called woolovers TWICE on November 24 and again on November 29 (paying for phone calls from US to UK). Each representative said I “ would receive information in 48 hours “ about the whereabouts of the sweater which apparently has vanished. As of December 10 I have received no follow up from either customer service representative I spoke to. I placed a ThIRD call today December 10 and requested a refund since it is almost 2 months since the missing sweater was ordered. The representative said he is “not authorized to process a refund”. I asked for him to send me an email today confirming that he has forwarded my request for the refund to “refund department“. No email , as I requested, was sent to me or received !!!! In addition to paying for three phone calls from US to UK , I am out $85 for the missing sweater as I have no hope of ever getting a refund from this, in my experience, incompetently run company. Woolovers has the worst customer service I have ever encountered in my life! What a disgrace ! Buy elsewhere…this is not a reputable company !

Very very poor service 🤬. I like these products and have ordered from Woolovers many times over the years but this will be the last time ! ***** SORT THIS OUT *****

Utterly non-responsive, late delivery, didn't include prepaid return label (that I paid for) and now I don't have a return address. They've ignored my emails. Stay far away from them.

There is very little cashmere in their "cashmere merino" knitwear. Despite being essentially just a woollen jumper, the quality is extremely shoddy. Pilled beyond wearing outside the house within weeks. Fell apart at the seams and unwearable inside 9 months. Customer service not interested in standing behind their product. Definitely not worth buying anything from this company.

Cheaply made for the price. Several imperfections apparent upon arrival- two random stitch balls in a different color thread that were easy enough to cut away, but a closer inspection revealed other imperfections in the tight weaving, no chance of a fix. I would have never made the purchase had I known that these were made in China. If I had any reason to believe I'd recoup a decent sum of the purchase price, it would be returned. However, since company is overseas and I'm in US, I'll just wear it or give it away and learn my lesson. Buyers beware!

I ordered 2 items from the Woolover site last week; 1 arrived which was far too large and the wool was harsh, and 1 week later I am still waiting for the other. Not good service and no pre-notification of when to expect to delivery. Not impressive at all.

Why made in China. I know you say it keeps prices lower but the cost of the pollution is a far greater price to pay. Be brave, change your practice to match your views and pride of using British wool.

This is the worst online company I have ever dealt with. I have ordered several sweaters over the years. As a long time customer, I would have expected better customer service. They treated me like a criminal claiming I had placed too many orders and then received refunds. Not So. THEY kept cancelling my orders. I spoke to four different customer service representatives who told me it was my fault. Really? Then why do they keep sending me emails that my orders have been cancelled and cannot give me a straight answer? Now, on my fourth call, I was informed I have been 'blacklisted' and can never order anything from they again. Well, at this point I would never again anyway. BLACKLISTED? For what? I never heard of such a thing. I would not try to order one thing from this lousy company. They just treat you like you are trying to steal from them. I was appalled. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WOOLOVERS because they will do everything in their power to prevent you from getting any merchandise even a catalog. I received a most charming email that they have cancelled my catalog subscription,. Good. I am finished with this deplorable company. I will conduct my business elsewhere. I would highly recommend that you boycott this business.
