Poor quality
I have ordered a number of things over the years and the quality has gone down - the mens stag pyjamas were a terrible fit and very thin material that had to be returned. I had to pay a small fortune for delivery because they were a single item and I didn’t want to spend over £50 and then had to pay to return the item; it’s very frustrating it’s cost me about £6.50 for an item I couldn’t keep. Would be much more likely to buy if they reduce delivery costs and offer free returns.

I was very disappointed with the…
I was very disappointed with the quality of the grey elephant face cloths. The elephants were not very prominent and there was a pulled thread on one face cloth. I returned them on 15/8/22 and they arrived back on 1/9/22. Its now 6/9/22 I still am awaiting my refund. This process is WAY too slow. Please get your act together.
FINALLY my refund arrived 7/9/22 which is over 3 weeks from the date of return.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us the above feedback. I am so sorry to hear that you have been having problems regarding the recent return of your order. Looking into this I can see that one of our friendly Customer Experience Team members had a look into this for you earlier and that thanks to the delays experienced by the return courier this is unfortunately what resulted in the return arriving to us later than we would hope so. Now that this is back with us however, our Finance Team will be working through getting these refunded to you as soon as possible but we can only sincerely apologise for the delay experienced in this case. We shall be sure to pass your feedback on regarding our Returns Process on to the relevant departments in this case. Best Wishes, SA Team.
Lovely products and unique designs
Lovely products and unique designs. The customer service is superb too!
I had an issue with a dog bed and wrote to them with feedback - in return they kindly replaced my dog bed with no quibbles. They responded quickly to my email and promptly despatched the replacement.

Round dog beds- look beautiful but v poor quality and functionality
Usually love Sophie allport but wanted to put a warning out on the round dog beds and now, having looked, I can see that others have shared my experience of them. Purchased an extra large one for a medium sized dog and within a week of purchase, the middle mattress was all but useless and have had to put in pillows beneath it to make it adequately comfy since. A problem that has worsened more since washing the product as well (as per the instructions). It basically provides zero comfort as the stuffing clumps up and is not even present in some bits of it any more. Still looks nice but, especially given the price, I was expecting a dog bed that was actually functional as well as pretty so this is the one thing I've bought from here that I've not been impressed by sadly.

Really disappointed with quality
Really disappointed with the ‘fetch’ bedset. Contacted SA customer services asking for advice and they weren’t interested one but, just directed me to retailer I bought the product from. Very disappointing! Poor product quality and it washes/irons something awful. Will not buy SA products again.

Beautiful designs, no plastic packaging
I love Sophie Allport! The designs are so pretty and my recent birthday delivery had zero plastic in the packaging - I was so pleased!
I have used her fabric in home made cushions, have bedding and kitchen accessories and notebooks. Most are really high quality, I’ve dropped one star as both bedding sets had an internet description of the same material but seem completely different. The Sheep design seems old school cotton and a bit bobbly. The pillows come out of the covers every night and the duvet is easily dislodged too. The Bee bedding is amazing though and really high quality. It makes me a bit nervous about ordering future bedding though as I’m not sure what I’ll get!
Overall a great company though and a new favourite 😍

All round fabulous
I have been shopping with Sophie allport for a few years now. It all started with the beautiful China mugs. I have since purchased dog accessories and home accessories and still absolutely love the products and quality. I had to call up on one occasion regarding a fault with my dog bed and the customer service was second to none… lovely helpful staff who fully resolved the issue. I will be continuing to shop here. Thank you

I recently purchased a couple of items from Sophie Allport website, which, unfortunately one item of clothing I had to return for a smaller size. I filled out the online return form and paid the courier company, TSB Returns, on 09/07/2022 to collect item 11/07/2022. I am writing this review on 16/07/2022, and still no collection has been made. I have emailed customer services for both Sophie Allport and the courier service yesterday, and no answer from either. I am not impressed with the courier service this company uses, which will now affect my decision to purchase further items. Returning an item should be as easy as buying an item, however, this experience has been hugely disappointing.

Brilliant customer service.
Brilliant company with impeccable service. I’ve recently had an item which I had bought become faulty (zip on and item) and customer service team have been ever so helpful in finding a suitable replacement (bearing in mind the original item had originally been bought in a sale and was now out of stock). Products are gorgeous as well, so much choice and variety and quality of materials is second to none. A brand which I will shop at for years and years to come.

Unbelievable customer service. I completed their online customer service form at 7pm on Sunday evening, I received a response by 8.33 am Monday morning.
The issue was totally resolved to 110% satisfaction later the same day.

Great customer service
I just wanted to add my experience as I feel the customer service has been reflected a little unfairly here, I received a damaged item and contacted the customer service team- within 24 hours they replied to me twice and arranged for a replacement to be sent out using priority delivery with no need to return the damaged one. They’ve been great and very friendly! (The agent that helped me was Stephanie 🌟)

Not worth the money.
Photo's of the duvet sets look really lovely, however they're very expensive indeed. I have purchased 2 King-size duvet sets recently & they crease badly, after being slept on for two nights they look terrible, worst quality cotton covers that I have ever purchased. I wouldn't recommend, especially if you hate ironing & like to see a smooth looking duvet cover.

Reply from Sophie Allport
Thank you for taking the time to leave the above feedback, we are terribly sorry to hear of your disappointment. With our bedding being 100% cotton, unfortunately creasing is inevitable. However, it may make a slight difference drying in the tumble dryer slightly and then ironing whilst still damp. It can also help if they are hung to dry, as this allows time for the creases to drop whilst still damp. Following this, you may just need to iron some small parts of the Duvet where creases might still be slightly visible. Many sincere apologies once again, SA Team.
Perfect Customer Service
Perfect Customer Service ! Thank you to the Sophie Allport Customer Services Team; I placed a recent order, had an automated message come up saying there may be a delay in shipment but this morning my order arrived, beautifully wrapped and packed (as always), and all items were available. I'm very happy to be a regular SA customer; lovely items, terrific quality, and all at very fair prices - Thank you !

Poor customer service
Sophie Allport is a brand I thought I loved however when I wanted to return something not clearly described their customer service was rude and I am shocked. Shame as they have nice things but won't purchase again.
In response to SA. Yes the page does say fine bone China and also says dishwasher safe. There is a separate page that goes into details of what they consider dishwasher safe to be. As it said dishwasher safe I didn’t question it until the item arrived and was not marked on the item, as most are. I contact them to find it’s only dishwasher safe at 40 and my lowest cycle is 60. I don’t think it would have harmed them to have taken the feed back and added dishwasher safe at 40 to each product page rather than expect the customer to do the work looking for the info on their site.
