Andrew and Peter at the Bluewater store…

Andrew and Peter at the Bluewater store were so helpful getting a suit for my husband for our daughter’s wedding.
Nothing was to much trouble Andrew ordered in the correct size and they contacted me to let me know when it arrived in store
A great selection of suits to choose from
Thank you again for all your help

Outdated return process

Quality of the suit was fine, but avoid just for the outdated returns process, especially if you’re unable to visit stores and have to shop online for suits - as I have been ill! The company is not up to par with modern return processes like that of Suit Direct, where you request a return online and print a label in a drop-off location. I had to print a return form from my closest internet cafe (do they even still exist!?), fill it in by hand, then pay £20 at the post office to send the package off tracked, within time, and covers the cost of the suit if lost. If you’re someone who has to shop around online or even just prefers to do so, try a few options and return what doesn’t work for you, then I’d suggest going elsewhere where the return process is simpler and less frustrating.

**Update**
Response to the reply below:
Thank you for your sassy response – though I must say, it’s not a great look for customer service.

While I acknowledge that your returns policy is clearly stated on your website, that doesn’t change the fact that it is outdated, inconvenient, and not competitive with other brands in the same market. A good returns process should be seamless and user-friendly, not reliant on customers having access to a printer or paying significant fees to return an item.

Rather than taking a defensive stance, a more customer-centric and practical approach to feedback would be to consider how your policies compare to industry standards and whether they truly serve your customers’ best interests. After all, a frictionless shopping experience encourages repeat business.

Wishing you all the best.

**Further update**
Thank you for your prompt response. However, I must express my disappointment with the dismissive tone and lack of consideration for the customer's perspective. Suggesting that I invest in a printer to accommodate your outdated returns process, especially during a cost-of-living crisis, is both insensitive and out of touch with modern retail practices.

To put this into perspective, I had to pay 10% of the original purchase price to return the items. This additional cost is a significant burden on customers, particularly when many retailers offer free and straightforward return options.

Research indicates that a 5% increase in customer retention can result in a 25% to 95% increase in revenue. Furthermore, companies focusing on customer retention can be up to 60% more profitable than those prioritising acquisition. (thinkimpact report)

Additionally, a recent consumer report revealed that 57% of shoppers are willing to abandon a brand entirely after a poor post-purchase experience, such as a cumbersome returns process. (business wire report)

In today's competitive market, many retailers are streamlining and automating their return processes, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

By modernising your returns process, you could enhance customer satisfaction, reduce churn, and ultimately boost profitability. Dismissing customer feedback and suggesting they invest in equipment to comply with your outdated procedures is not a sustainable business strategy.

I hope you consider this feedback constructively and evaluate how aligning your return policies with current industry standards can better serve your customers and benefit your business.

Best regards.

Best wishes for the future.

Further update: thank you for your further update which we have not bothered to read as your opinion really does not matter to us. Have a great day.

Update:thank you for your reply, content duly noted. Our customer service reply is just a factual reply based on your review. Your review regarding our returns policy is just one opinion and our response was merely factual stating that printers are a norm and we have never had a customer complain regarding not only having to print a returns for a return or indeed state they had to go to an internet cafe ( did not know they existed) to print anything off.
Our returns policy and procedure is pretty robust and serves the need of all our customer and will not change on the basis of anyone’s review but thank you for advice.
Our advice would be to invest in a printer so you don’t have to leave reviews for other companies because of the lack of your own items.
Have a great day.

Thanks for your review. As you have written in your review the quality of the suit was fine. Thank you for your kind words unfortunately it really is not our issue if you don’t have a printer to hand to print a returns form and our returns policy is clear to read which had you read you would know how our returns are made and then you could have made an informed decision as to whether you would or would not purchase a suit from us.
Had you ordered the correct items you would not have had to return items which by your own admission you do at other suit stores as well as ours. Have a great day.

Brilliant customer service every time

Tommy has always gone above and beyond for our family. We chose Santoro for our first family wedding and the team did such a brilliant job that we came back for another wedding suit order. Tommy and Vince have been brilliant and we cannot wait to see our new suits. These guys are our official wedding suit providers!

Excellent advice and high quality suits

I took to the advice give Milano Couture a go from a member of my fiancé's family and I was very happy I did.

First and foremost, the advice I got from the manager Faye was very informative, helpful and genuine. At no point did did I feel like I was being pressured into a sale and I was made to feel that any and all questions were valuable.

After being in the market for this suit for some time and trapsing around many different shops and not finding anything that was to my taste, I was very grateful for Faye's help and I now have both my suit and the name of an affiliated taylor in case I lose/gain weight before the wedding.

I would strongly recommend Milano Couture if you are in the market for a suit, it is a huge weight off of my mind and I am grateful for the help the staff gave. 5/5.

Hi Mohinul, we can only deliver what is in stock and we are not aware of time restraints people may have when they order hence sending the order when it is in stock which on this occasion may have been a little later than you wanted.
Many thanks

BEWARE , this shop won’t exchange faulty goods

We visited the Meadowhall shop just before Christmas, I bought a coat after trying the coat on. Just after Christmas I put the coat on to go out, as I put my arm in the sleeve I felt something wrong with the lining ( the lining had not been sewn together) I took the coat back and was told they would repair the coat, I refused and asked for a replacement. The manager point blank refused to exchange the coat , we went back a second time as we didn’t take the receipt the first time. We were still told they would only repair the lining not exchange saying well you tried it on you should have noticed then. So if buying anything from this shop I suggest fully checking first .

Dear John,
When you bought the coat in question by your own admission you tried it on “three” times, you removed the tags when you got home after trying it on again, clearly if the lining had been torn you would have noted this. You then came back to our store without a receipt yet as a good will gesture we said we would repair the lining. You were extremely rude, rather aggressive along with your wife who was in tow and you left.
You came to the store today with the very worn coat to “demand” a replacement because you hadn’t noted the three times you tried the coat on that the lining was torn. Clearly you had worn the coat and you have very clearly damaged it when wearing it so unfortunately once again we offered to repair the lining as a good will gesture.
Customers who come into the store being aggressive are not customer we want so thank you for your review but the offer to repair still stands purely as a good will gesture but we would ask if you do come to our store for you not to be aggressive along with your wife threatening female staff.
Have a great day.
