Impossible to get hold of on Mobile or Telephone. We have been wanting to purchase the wellies of these guys. Complete waste of time.

Ordered my shoes on the 20th of April…

Ordered my shoes on the 20th of April and they still have not arrived. Bad customer service, as I have not had a reply after the first email, saying they were on the way. That was on the 25 April. It is now 25th May. I will not reccomend them to anybody. And if I knew they were coming from China I would not have touched them with a barge pole. Do not buy from this company.

Awful

Awful! Awful! Awful!
Delivery was good received within 3 days but the wrong size shoe turned up! I ordered a 5 and a 6 has arrived!
Tried calling however their office is always shut, convenient!
Someone has responded to me saying the correct size will be sent out but have no other emails to say when I will receive them or how to return the incorrect ones as I didn’t even receive an invoice with my order!
These were supposed to be a birthday present for my nephew for this week!
They shouldn’t even be allowed to trade anymore!
Awful company would not recommend!
Let’s just hope I have lost out on anything as I will be taking this further!

Incorrect shoes received and No communication following reporting this!!

I know it’s a challenging time but I ordered the silver low tops in a size 6 (eu 39) for my daughter’s birthday (before the flashwear warehouse shut down). Instead I received a white pair (not even the same style) in a size 10 infants (eu 29).
I have emailed several times over the last 5 days and had no response. Now I have a pair of shoes that are absolutely no good and my daughter has missed getting her birthday present.
I have also asked in my emails and ‘chat’ messages on your website for details of how to return the incorrect shoes - again I have not had a response.
I know times are very difficult at the moment, but I’m having to work from home and am responding to emails from clients and colleagues etc. So at least a response is definitely possible in the current situation.
A very disappointed customer.

Disappointing

Ordered and and paid for next day delivery. The order had not even been despatched on the next day. Why offer next day delivery if you can't fulfill it?! Now awaiting a refund

I’d give it 0 stars if that were an…flashwear trainers. Buyer beware.

I’d give it 0 stars if that were an option. Ordered trainers for 10 year old as a Christmas present. Very disappointed on the big day to find these didn’t work properly. Have sent numerous emails and have returned faulty item at my own cost and still no replacement trainers. Buyer beware of flash ware. DONT BOTHER. I’m opening a case with both PayPal and trading standards. Shoddy product. Shoddy company. Shoddy customer focus.

Good customer service - best to contact via email

I wanted to say that we received excellent customer services. I bought flashing trainers for my son's Christmas present. The shoes arrived on time but unfortunately the left one turned out to be faulty - would not charge. I was unable to get hold of them on the phone but they did respond promptly to my emails and agreed to replace the faulty shoe. They sent new ones in the post immediately and I received them when they said I would. I would recommend this company but be sure to contact them via email rather than phone.

Be warned...

The shoes arrived but they were the wrong size and unneeded to return them.

Like others have said they don’t answer the phone or respond to emails.

Thankfully I purchased through PayPal so have opened a case.

No customer service and faulty product.

Item arrived in October but never worked. Phoned, emailed, messaged multiple times .... no response. Asked for returns label never received. They have my money, I have a product that doesn’t work and they will not respond. Very disappointed to be sold a product not fit for purpose under consumer law with no way of getting my money refunded.

Fantastic all round.

Firstly, the shoes came in great time, no worries there. Panic mode set in when I realised they were a size too big and they were for a birthday present. After a few attempts at email and telephone calls which seemed to be on hold for an eternity, I received a call back. The company are in the process of moving and i was advised there were not many people manning the phones during this time and after lunch is a better time to call. Chelsea was lovely, really reassuring and advised me the shoes come up small in some styles including the ones i had ordered so they send out the bigger size. They usually put in a note explaining this but mine didn't have one. Anyway, the shoes fit, and we have one happy birthday girl with her shoes. Chelsea even called again the next day to check so I am thrilled with the customer service.
Would definitely recommend

Awful, just awful!! Never again!!

First they send me the wrong item, a child’s size 3, when I ordered a size 11. Sent them an email with photographic evidence and then I had to chase them for a reply over a day later. Excuse was that they were very busy. I returned the package as requested for a full refund. Then I had to chase them over a week later along with proof that the item was delivered. 3 days later and am waiting for an acknowledgement of that email. I am STILL waiting for my refund which has never materialised. Never again!!! Proceed with caution...

My order arrived on time and I called…

My order arrived on time and I called them before purchasing to ask information about sizing , I was on hold for 4 to 5 minutes which was a little frustrating but once through a lovely lady was able to help me select the best pair to suit me, I'm very happy with my shoes and my friends have also bought
Many thanks

Thank you Flash Wear!!!

I purchased their LED wellie after seeing it listed among the top 5 wellies for festivals on inews.co.uk - I've booked my family and I, a weekend trip to a local family friendly festival in the heart of Worcestershire over the school holidays (yes I am trying to be a cool Mum).

I must admit I was a little wary over some of the reviews I'd seen but the good seemed to outweigh the bad, on Google they have a great rating and I had trust the news company wouldn't support just any company so I went ahead...

I decided to call instead of purchasing online (I guess for extra reassurance) and I couldn't have been happier with the service I received, the young lady was so helpful, I asked so many questions and it wasn't too much trouble - she was just so polite and kind.

Despite not being face to face I felt I had been out shopping with a friend, although this company is online they have not in my opinion lost touch with their customer base, as I felt very valued!

On to the wellies, they are nothing short of AMAZING! I feel so comfortable in them and not 'Mutton dressed as lamb' I'd say they are of the same quality as Hunter but the lights are so tasteful and don't have to be on all the time - even my kids said I looked cool and now I will be returning to get some flashing trainers for us all to wear on a first Family festival trip.

I'm not sure what happened with the people on here who have such negative things to say but I'm not sure I believe it as I am very particular and my experience was something even I can't fault!

Would most definitley recommend and as I said, I plan to shop again!

Have a very happy daughter!

High quality, fast delivery - would definitely recommend my daughter is over the moon with her Flashez rose gold V2's. I must say, the quality is much better than I expected so quite shocked to see some of the reviews on here and wonder if its the same company?!

Would shop again.
