This was my first and last order I will…

This was my first and last order I will place with this company.

I paid for next day delivery. Ordered on a Sunday, expected delivery on Tuesday.

My first email to them on Wednesday to check where my parcel was, I was advised:

'Your parcel was dispatched on 27 April 2026 via Evri.. If you still have not received the parcel after the applicable timeframe, or if you ‘believe’ you paid for next-day delivery but our records show a different service level, please reply and we will check this for you.'

I was then given the tracking link, which said Evri were waiting for the parcel.

I replied to ask: Can you advise when I will receive my delivery? I paid for next day delivery.
And received: ‘As I mentioned earlier, your parcel was dispatched on 27 April via Evri.. .. Our records show the order was sent with Standard delivery. Standard delivery typically arrives within 3 working days from dispatch (please allow up to 5 working days). As this is the fifth working day since dispatch, if you have not received your parcel please reply and we will check whether next day postage was taken at purchase and investigate the delivery status.

Clearly they had not even looked at my order, nor acknowledged I had next day delivery on my order! I asked them to ‘Kindly refund the delivery charge for the service I have not received.’

I finally had a response from Nicole (the only person to put their name on an email)
I’ve checked your order, and I can confirm that it currently out for delivery.
Dispatched on: 27/04/2026
Estimated delivery: Within 1 working day from dispatch.
Tracking Number:
Tracking Link:
We have refunded your delivery fee and this will be back in the account within 2-5 working days.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.
Warm regards,
Nicole

My parcel was actually delivered on Saturday. They didn’t even pack it in a box, they sent it in a courier bag so the contents got bashed. Not only that, but they didn’t even give my contact details to Evri so the only tracking I had was from emailing their customer services, to which Evri said they were still waiting for the parcel from them up to Friday!

This is the worst customer service I’ve had from a company. They didn’t bother to look at my order and I had to ask for a refund of my delivery service I paid for but didn’t receive.

Would not use again even if they were giving stuff away. I will continue using Zooplus who have never failed to deliver next day

Hello Emoor,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the multiple issues you experienced with your order.

We’re very sorry for the confusion regarding the delivery service. We understand how frustrating it must have been to believe you had selected next-day delivery and then receive conflicting information regarding dispatch and tracking. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we regret that this was not clearly handled or communicated throughout your contact with us.

We also apologise for the delays in tracking updates and the lack of clarity from the courier during the transit process. We appreciate how concerning this must have been when the tracking initially showed no movement.
In addition, we are sorry to hear that your parcel arrived in a courier bag and that the contents were not adequately protected. This is not our usual packaging standard, and we will be raising this with the relevant team for review.

We completely understand your disappointment, particularly as this was your first order with us, and we’re sorry that it has led to a negative impression of our service.

Your feedback has been noted and will be used to help us improve both our internal checks and our communication with couriers going forward.

If you would like us to review anything further regarding your order, please don’t hesitate to contact us at customer.service@petwell.co.uk or call us on 020 8089 3883.

Kind regards,
Nicole

The Worst Customer Service Imaginable

I placed an order for a cat flap, waited over a week and was then sent 2 cat bowls instead. I understand that mistakes happen, but there was no effort on the part of Petwell to rectify this. The onus was put on me and I was told that the correct item would not be shipped to me until I had returned the cat bowls. I had builders waiting to install a new door, so time was of the essence. I would have had to drive 40 minutes to drop off the unwanted cat bowls, or else spend a whole day at home waiting for a collection. And the cat flap I'd ordered was going to be held hostage until I could sort it out. Who operates a business like this?

Needless to say, I cancelled my order and have placed one with another company.

Hello Helen,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the error with your order and the inconvenience this caused.

We completely understand your frustration, especially given that you had builders arranged and were working to a tight timeframe. Receiving incorrect items in this situation is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the disruption this has caused.

In cases where an incorrect item has been sent, we do need the original item to be returned before a replacement or refund can be fully processed. Where a collection is arranged, the courier will normally contact you on the day to provide a more accurate time slot, to help avoid the need to wait in all day.

We’re very sorry that this experience led to your order being cancelled, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know what happened. Your feedback will be passed on to the relevant team to help improve our processes.

If there is anything further we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to contact us at customer.service@petwell.co.uk
or call us on 020 8089 3883.

Kind regards,
Nicole

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience.

We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially as this was your first order with us and you were relying on it for your pup’s treats. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

We don’t expect orders to go missing in transit, however unfortunately this can occasionally happen once parcels are with the courier. Where possible, we will always try to replace the order, but if the items are out of stock at the time, a refund is offered instead. We understand how disappointing this outcome is, particularly given the timing over the bank holiday.

If you would like us to look into this further or if there is anything else we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to contact us at customer.service@petwell.co.uk
or call us on 020 8089 3883.

Kind regards,

My new repeat order was not sent

My new repeat order was not sent. Originally I had an email saying it was a payment issue. I tried to update payment options but nothing was noted in my account regarding payments. I replied to the email and was advised that the original email was sent in error as the recurring goods were not in stock. I checked your website and discovered they're in stock. I placed a new order and replied to the email saying to cancel the original order, also as I had found the goods cheaper in a larger pack the recurring order was to be cancelled as it wouldn't update on your website. Another email was received saying my order was cancelled! I have already created another order for what I need and adjusted the new recurring order. One more chance is what I'm giving you to get my repeat order sorted correctly in July. If it isn't I don't care if your prices are the best I will not buy from yourselves or other associated companies again.

Hello Frances,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced with your repeat order.

We completely understand how upsetting and confusing this situation must have been, especially when you were initially advised there was a payment issue, then later informed the email was sent in error, and subsequently had further changes to your order and subscription. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly for customers relying on regular deliveries.

We also appreciate how frustrating it must have been to find conflicting information regarding stock availability and pricing, and we are very sorry for the impact this has had on your confidence in us.

Please be assured that we take this seriously, and we will be reaching out to you directly to fully review what has happened and ensure your subscription is set up correctly moving forward. We would really value the opportunity to put this right for you ahead of your next scheduled order.

Kind regards,
Nicole

I’m really disappointed with my…

I’m really disappointed with my experience with Petwell.

I received a pack of dog food tins that arrived damaged, which is obviously concerning when it comes to feeding my pet. I sent clear photos straight away, expecting a quick and straightforward resolution, but instead it’s just been constant back and forth with customer service asking for more photos over and over again.

What’s especially frustrating is that they even admitted themselves they wouldn’t be happy to feed from a pack of damaged tins, so I don’t understand why this has been dragged out for so long.

The whole process has been unnecessarily stressful and time consuming. Customer service has been unhelpful and inefficient, and it feels like they’re avoiding resolving the issue rather than taking responsibility.

I won’t be ordering from them again.

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and I’m very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has caused.

We completely understand your concerns regarding damaged tins and appreciate why you would be unhappy receiving an order in this condition. The reason we sometimes request additional images is to fully assess the extent of the damage—whether it affects one tin or multiple items in the pack. This helps us not only resolve the issue appropriately for you, but also allows us to report it to the relevant teams so we can help prevent it happening again in future.

That said, I’m very sorry that this process has felt repetitive and unnecessarily drawn out. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and I completely understand your disappointment.

As a gesture of goodwill we have refunded the damaged item and this will reflect in the account within 2-5 working days.

If you would like us to look into this further or resolve it as quickly as possible, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly on 020 8089 3883 or email customer.service@petwell.co.uk and we will be happy to assist.

Kind regards,
Nicole

Good customer service

There was a delivery hiccup due to a slight mistake by the courier. Petwell customer services have responded to my satisfaction and I particularly valued Jamie’s efforts on my behalf.

Quick easy transaction

Website easy to negotiate, found what i was looking for which was hedgehog food, very good price, cheaper than anywhere else I could find that had what I wanted in stock.
Payment transaction was smooth, good corresponding email updates regarding delivery.
Package arrived within a few days, outer packaging concerned me a bit as was only a plastic bag and was slightly damaged, torn, crushed but presume that’s how the courier had treated it, luckily the items inside come in a relatively robust thick paper bags so all was good.

Hello Emily,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience.

We completely understand your frustration when an order is cancelled after being placed. While we always aim to fulfil all orders where possible, there are occasions where we are unable to do so due to stock availability or supplier issues. When this happens, we will always contact customers as soon as we are made aware and ensure a refund is processed promptly.

We appreciate that waiting for a refund is inconvenient. Please note that refunds can take 2–5 working days to reach your account, depending on your bank’s processing times, which is unfortunately outside of our control once the refund has been issued.

We’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.

If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact us at customer.service@petwell.co.uk or call us on 020 8089 3883, and a member of our team will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
