Wonderful Experience

The rug I ordered was on back prefer. English Elm costumer service was very communicative and helpful. The rug arrived early and in great condition.

The price you originally see, may go up two days later

When I initially saw this chair, it was one price. When I went to order it two days later, it was $15 more expensive. When I emailed the sales department about the price difference, no one got back to me. When I emailed the sales department to say that I would order five more chairs at the original price that I saw them for, again, no one got back to me. As a former manager in retail, English Elm has a lot to learn about customer service!

no customer service

Before buying - ask yourself - would you buy from a website that does not have a contract us button for customer service?

Back order problem


Here is the latest issue I had with EE. This is my email to them yesterday.

I'm very unhappy with the second back order that I have been given by English elm on this item. (a table)

I first ordered it back in like October or November. And although it was live on your website I ordered it, I was told that is back ordered.

English elm offered me a refund instead of a back order.

*** PLEASE GIVE ME THAT REFUND NOW.

Instead, I used my kindness and patience to accept a back order delivery date in February.

Well February came and the email I was sent is frustrating. It says there has been a SLIGHT DELAY in my order which will now be fulfilled in April I'm told. And the email blamed supply chain as though that's a thing like it was during covid.

Late last year every big box store was backodered on this item too, Home Depot in Walmart for example.. But they have had this item in stock since January 1st. What's up with English Elm?

I didn't want to buy from a big box store and bought from your store instead. The kind of service I have been provided on this item by English elm illustrates why big box stores are so successful.

Hi Ron, we’re truly sorry for the continued backorder delays and the frustration this has caused. We completely understand how disappointing it is to accept a February delivery date only to have it moved again to April. That’s not the experience we want for you.

We also acknowledge your request for a refund. Please email us at sales@englishelm.com
with your order details so we can prioritize your case immediately and process the refund as requested. We sincerely appreciate the patience you’ve shown, and we regret that we did not meet your expectations.

This place is a scam

They literally sold me a piece of furniture, charged me and sent me an email that they no longer had the item in stock. They suggested i add myself to a back order list. This company is a fraud!

Hi Big L, we’re truly sorry for the frustration this situation caused. We understand how upsetting it is to place an order only to later learn the item is unavailable. That is never our intention, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please email us at sales@englishelm.com with your order details so we can review your case and ensure your refund or next steps are handled promptly.

Arrived quickly, no problems…

I had to inquire about the availability of a chair before I ordered it. They responded quickly to my questions. After I ordered the chair (last one in the warehouse) it arrived in less than 2 weeks. It was in perfect shape and easy to put together. In other reviews I read, people complained about the lack of notification around when items shipped. I did not receive any notification that the chair had shipped so I was pleasantly surprised that it showed up so fast. I did receive an email after the chair arrived that they would be shipping my chair soon, lol, so I let them know I had already received it. I would order from them again.

Shipping communication was clunky

I had a great experience with English Elm but their shipping communication was a little clunky and I could not tell when my mirror was going to arrive. However, I received a text from the deliverer that seemed odd so I called them and once I called them, it was a great experience. However it was very confusing on the front end.

Excellent website presentation which…

Excellent website presentation which made selecting a rug a very fun experience. Shipping was fast and the rug arrived in perfect condition. Best thing of all, is that how good it looks in person. In other words, the appearance and quality exceeds our already high expectations.
