Hi Kat Andrews,

Thank you for your review.

We appreciate your order and are sorry the size you needed was unavailable. We understand your frustration regarding the lack of updates; we'll review our communication process. Although as you were not contacted and notified of the stocks arrival. This would mean that the item is still out of stock.

We're glad the ordering process was quick and easy once you chose the larger size.

Kind Regards,

Direct Clothing

Out of stock turnaround

They were out of stock of what I needed. Quick email to them to ask when more stock coming. Swift reply received and was promised they’d email me when back in stock and on website. True to word, they got in touch. All sorted in a couple of days. Great customer service.

Lottery sizing and slow delivery, Customer service who don't like facts

Took a month to deliver despite being in stock at the time of order.

UPDATE: Despite company comment below - order placed 27 Feb and not available to collect until Weds 19th March.

2ND UPDATE - Screenshot of delivery tracking app gives delivery date to the school of 19th March. There is no shop and I'd checked with the School Reception (who take deliveries) before then to confirm not delivered.

Yet again sizing appears to be a lottery. 3rd order - sizing appears to bear no relation to the stated measures nor does this order appear to be consistent with previous ones.

UPDATE - Spoken to the team and there is a 2" tolerance allowed either way - so nearly 10% on a 24" waist skirt. Hence the lottery comment.

Rating lowered because the Company doesn't appear to like facts.

Hi James

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry you feel it took so long for you to receive your order. However I can see that you order was placed 27th February and ready to be collected from the school shop on the 4th March. This would have been stated at checkout. We can confirm that the item arrived with the school on the said date. Anything outside of this would have been down to the school.

As for the sizing of the garment one of our team will be making contact to look into this further.

Kind Regards

Hi Eleanor, I can see that this was a shipment to school.
For future reference orders are delivered to school every Wednesday so orders need to place on Sunday before midnight to avoid delays.
