Not good at keeping in touch with the customer about delivery timelines . Excellent at sending emails asking us to spend more money though!
Delivery guys ontime, polite and took away all packaging - excellent - just a shame about Skandium - we had to do all the chasing with a full payment made 8 weeks ago

We want to expressly thank Luke…

We want to expressly thank Luke Jeffries, the Customer Care person with Skandium, for handling a complex purchase from afar. The order was placed by me in the US but the U.K. delivery label was missing a house number and went back to DPD. Luke sorted that out first but, once the package was correctly delivered, damage had been done to the package and the contents had shattered en route. Luke then fielded queries from both me and my daughter, the recipient of the gift, and immediately arranged that a replacement Iittala platter be sent to her Oxford address. Luke was marvelously responsive to both of us in rectifying the problems with the shipment. We are very impressed as don't usually encounter such quick and attentive customer service here in the U.S.

One of the best delivery experiences I’ve had

One of the best delivery experience I’ve had! Received a message with the exact number of minutes before my order would arrive (!!), my package was carried up a total of 6 full flights of stairs, unpacked, put together and then the huge box was removed and taken back. Thank you!

Ordered on December 14
No communication on delivery date
I chased on December 28
Was told very casually “we hope to get it for you by Jan 18”
Still nothing on Jan 24 and no communication from them. They clearly take the order and money then buy the item. Very bad customer service

Good Morning Susan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry for the delay faced with your order.

I understand having looked at our records, the item had an original failed delivery with our standard courier, which caused the initial delay.

This is incredibly frustrating to hear, however we are happy to see that upon reaching out our team had a replacement item dispatched on a different service to ensure the item was received successfully.

Thank you again, for taking the time to leave this review and as always, we will be here to assist.

I recently contacted Skandium when my Vipp kettle developed a fault. Luke could not have been more helpful and quickly arranged for a replacement unit to be shipped out directly. Fantastic communication and a great customer experience. Highly recommended.

Very efficient delivery carried out by David. All done remotely as I was at work and my 10 year old had to answer the door!
I do have an issue with Skandium as the chair that I ordered took 5 months to arrive - but that was not David’s fault!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

The wait times are insane
You can't speak to anyone
WE had a damaged package arrived and then cancelled all packages but they then arrived taking up room in our house and we can never get hold of ANYONE!!!
This is the third time this has happened to us.

Why bother.

Why bother.. I am truly sadden of what skandium have become. As a long time Scandinavian expat in London I loved the "lifeline" to home - and as a design-lover absolutely cherished to their foresight, insight & love. Also the service level was just next to none. Appreciate times are tougher now that in the golden Chelsea Townhouse days, but really. I do not want to slant and share my many broken experiences here. I have just arrived at the point of Why Bother and it breaks my heart. I find no vibe, no trustworthiness (want a 20% discount - just call them), no passion - I honestly doubt there is a Scandinavian left..

Good Afternoon Jane,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are a little upset to hear this review and still pride ourselves on being a mix of both Scandinavian designs with exemplary British customer service.

Although we have changed slightly, our core values remain the same and we aim to provide excellent understanding and service while delivering an array of wonderful Scandinavian furniture and furnishings.

Looking at the date of the review, I can only assume the discount offered was due to our Black Friday sale about to start and our team would have wanted to ensure you did not miss the opportunity.

I would ask you if you would like to reach out to me at Luke@Skandium.com so we can understand what we have done wrong in the aim to improve.

Ordered a month ago and still waiting!

Bought two Hay flat pack light shades 24days ago and still waiting for an update.

Customer service over email don’t respond and their call CS told me it was going to be shipping a couple weeks ago and to just wait.

Really unimpressed! If I was Hay or another stockist I would be concerned.

Sadly will be avoiding in the future.
Hoping my lights will arrive sometime this year 🙁
