Order and PAID for 2 lamps in February

Order and PAID for 2 lamps in February. Delivery was originally 2-3 weeks with a March date set. This was then changed with no communication to June. Checked on the site again today and this is now set for September. No response from chat or email

6 months later, no lamp, no refund, no responses

Very poor experience with LampTwist. I placed order #131934 on 27 November 2025 and, as of June 2026, I still have not received my full order. One Tala Alumina Table Lamp is still missing.

I have contacted the company several times asking for an update, delivery date, or resolution, but they have not responded properly. I also sent a formal written notice on 30 May 2026 and then a final follow-up after the deadline expired, but I still received no response.

There is also an unresolved VAT issue. I was charged 3,909.46 CZK in VAT even though the purchase was made under company details using an EU VAT/tax number. I raised this with them several times and provided documents they requested, but the issue has still not been resolved.

In my experience, the customer service has been extremely poor, communication has been almost non-existent, and the order remains incomplete more than six months after purchase. I would not recommend ordering from this company unless you are prepared to chase repeatedly and potentially still receive no resolution.

Kartell Lamp - UK DDP Order Resulted in Debt Collection Letter

I purchased a Kartell Aledin lamp from LampTwist and paid a £20 delivery charge for shipment to the UK.

At the time of purchase, LampTwist stated that UK orders were shipped Delivered Duties Paid (DDP), with UK VAT and import duties included and ‘no hidden fees or extra charges upon delivery’.

Despite this, I later received a demand for customs charges and a debt collection letter seeking £43.52, made up of an £11.52 charge plus a £32 administration fee.

I have contacted LampTwist and asked them to investigate and resolve the matter. At the time of writing, LampTwist has ignored my emails and the issue remains unresolved.

I will update this review if the matter is satisfactorily addressed.

UPDATE 1 - 11 June

I am still waiting for Lamtwist to reply to my emails. I have sent multiple emails to their support team but have had no response.

I can see that when you leave a negative review on TrustPilot they respond within minutes. This is probably to give other potential customers a false perception that they respond quickly when they do not.

I have had to make multiple calls to Control Account (the debt collector) and DHL. I have managed to get DHL to take the charge back. I have had to pay the £11.52 shipping charge in order to prevent escalation again. DHL have confirmed that LampTwist did not pay all of the delivery duties. I would like LampTwist to reimburse me for the charge but given their lack of response to date, I see little chance of this happening.

Anyone using this company please be aware!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

For UK orders, we do indeed ship on a DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) basis, meaning that VAT and import duties are prepaid and should not be charged again upon delivery.

Based on the information provided, this appears more likely to be an error on the customs or carrier side rather than an issue originating from our side. In such situations, we are always happy to investigate and assist in resolving the matter.

We would also recommend contacting us directly as soon as such a charge is received, as this allows us to work with you and the carrier to find a solution before the situation escalates.

Please feel free to contact our customer service team with your order details so that we can review the case and assist further.

Kind regards,

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM

WORST COMPANY EVER. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. I ordered a carpet worth around 350£, I didn't like it so I returned it, which cost another 70£ because of course this terrible company doesn't cover refunds. The package was returned, and yet THEY NEVER REFUNDED ME. Absolutely awful company do not purchase anything from them.

I did contact their customer service and they still haven't refunded me.

Hello,

We are sorry to read your negative feedback, as the initial transaction appears to have gone smoothly on our side.

Return shipping costs are clearly indicated both before purchase and before initiating a return. We always aim to be fully transparent about this process.

Regarding your refund, if you have not yet received it, this usually means that the returned item has not yet arrived at our warehouse or is still in the processing stage once received. Refunds are issued once the return has been inspected and processed.

Have you already contacted our customer service team about this case? If not, we would strongly recommend doing so, as we are very available to help you check the status of your return and resolve this as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,

You did not mention that the product…

You did not mention that the product will jave ti be imported. Therefor I cannot grt tax back and I did not quote on extra inport tax, so I am paying in on the deal as I cannot afterwards tell my client there is extra costs.

Thank you for your message, and I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

We are located in Belgium, and for shipments outside Belgium it is generally understood that any import procedures, duties, VAT, customs clearance fees, or other charges in the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer, unless specific arrangements have been agreed in advance.

Our quotation was provided on the usual basis and therefore did not include any import-related taxes or charges that may be applicable in your country. These costs can vary depending on local regulations and are normally handled by the importer or their appointed customs agent.

We would also like to point out that this information is indicated on our website, where it is stated that import duties, taxes, and customs-related charges are not included in our prices and remain the responsibility of the customer.

If special import arrangements or delivered-duty-paid (DDP) terms were required, these would typically need to be discussed and agreed upon before the quotation and order confirmation.

Again, I am sorry for the misunderstanding and any inconvenience this situation has caused.

do not do business with Lamptwist

do not do business with Lamptwist. I bought a console table in April 2026 for A$1099 plus $163 shipping. I have invoices and delivery note documents to show that this was stated to be the price. When the product arrived in Aust, their shipper sent me an invoice for A$303.11 import duty. Then the shipper sent me an additional invoice for A$107 for biosecurity inspection fee. That is a total of A$573.11 shipping, which is >50% of the purchase price of the table. To make matters worse, when I contacted them they have 'doubled down' in protecting their margin and not looking after customers, by sending me a link of their now updated website fine print which says customers must do their own research regarding import duties and customers are responsible for all charges, regardless of whether Lamptwist had any friggin idea of what charges may eventuate for shipping their product to Aust. Terrible attitude, dishonest. An easy company to assemble a class action for - so, please let me know if you've had a similar experience and we will take legal action. And no, I do not believe you if you are a mate of theirs and claim to be a satisfied customer. To charge more than 50% in shipping because you have no idea about shipping charges is not a problem you should inflict on customers who simply wish to buy a table.

Thank you for your message. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment.

We would like to clarify that no additional shipping charges were requested or applied by Lamptwist or the carrier beyond the amount agreed at checkout. The extra costs you mention were not shipping fees, but import duties, taxes, and a biosecurity inspection fee charged by Australian customs authorities and collected through the carrier.

These customs charges are set by local authorities in the destination country and are the responsibility of the importer. They are separate from the shipping costs paid to transport the goods from Belgium.

This is also stated on our website, where we indicate that import duties and local charges are not included in our prices.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Seamless service

LampTwist has an excellent selection of design-forward brands. My purchase was seamless, especially considering it can be difficult having products shipped from the EU to the UK. I’ll definitely use the company again. Thanks!

No returns allowed only store credit

Ordered an applique that was supposedly in stock. After two weeks no response with shipment information. I contacted and asked to cancel the order, they refused and have announced at least another two weeks to fulfill my order. I think it’s insane that you cannot return or cancel an order especially when they don’t respect the original delivery date.

Poor customer service and delivery timescales wrong!

I ordered chandeliers to Dubai 3 weeks ago. 32K AED, 6k GBP, 9k USD they cost. All were in stock when I added to my basket, in fact I removed one that was due to be restocked a week so I knew all were IN STOCK ready to be dispatched. I emailed them to ensure the package would be delivered on time VIA AIR not shipment due to Middle East issued at present. Was assured YES by air and delivery timescales were a week. I'm now passed a renovation deadline and I have emailed them countless times for help or an update, they reply to me once every 5 days, their phone line is cut off, they don't tell you your order status when you ask them so have spent all of this money and genuinely have NO CLUE where the lights are, when they will come, if they will come and they cant even pick up the phone and call me despite me asking them everyday to call me. Not sure what to do as theres only one email address which is clearly inundated with complaints. Their last email to me basically said stop sending emails. Anyone have a number that works? or know what to do

Dear client, thank you for your message.

We are sorry for the frustration caused by this situation. Unfortunately, due to an inventory system error, one item from your order was not available despite showing as in stock at the time of purchase.

We also apologize for the delays in our responses. As a small team experiencing a very high volume of inquiries, our response times have been longer than usual.

We would like to clarify that we never asked you to stop emailing us; we only requested that messages be consolidated to help us manage your case more efficiently. As you were sending multiple message on a very short period, this was delaying our process.

The missing item has now arrived at our warehouse, and your order will be dispatched shortly. Tracking information will be sent automatically once the shipment is on its way.

We sincerely regret the impact this delay has had on your renovation timeline and appreciate your patience.

Won’t recommend them at all

They are not upfront about the custom fee you will be responsible. On top of, in my case, item was completely shuttered (vase) and the refund couldn’t be made for the custom portion - $70. Basically, left with no item and paid the custom. What a joke

Dear client, we're not able to find you with this pseudo. Note we will always replace if an item arrived broken and the issue is raised within 72 hours. Also, about customs, we're sorry if you were not aware. We do inform our clients on each page of the website in the footer and in the highlighted T&C before checkout. Have a great day !
