Arrived in good time, despite current situation. I bought a refill pack, 200g, loose leaf tea. Gentle flavour, I like the mallow flowers and blue cornflowers. However, I was a tiny bit disappoint... See more

Disappointing customer service

Disappointing customer service, as in lack of. I was looking for a company to order regular supplies of organic spearmint tea. Tried Tea Palace and ordered the Spearmint tea tin with my order. Unfortunately when it arrived the writing on the back of the tin was partially missing in places. Did not look like a new tin. Filled in their online contact form. No response after a week so emailed attaching a picture. That was ten days ago and still no reply. Have ordered my next batch from a different company. Wish I had seen the mixed reviews on here first.

Order 1592 update

I just wanted to update my review since the order was partially sent and we received (some of) the products after 13 days.

Still there is an item pending and no one has replied to my email and facebook message.

I am happy with the products and with the fact that the company still 'runs'.

Poor customer service.

Order still hadn't arrived after one month. When I emailed the firm to query the delay I did not receive a response. In the end I had to create a transaction dispute with Paypal to get my money back.

Only 2 of 3 items from order #22828…

Only 2 of 3 items from order #22828 paid for were delivered. Weeks of emails and phone calls but no one has bothered to follow up. Very poor customer service. Maybe not too late to follow up this order ?

Large order never arrived.

I ordered a large amount of tea from them which they then split shipped, the second shipment of which containing most of my items never arrived even though it was shown as delivered. I wrote to their customer service twice and never heard back.
Very unprofessional practice. I wasted so much money on them.

Delicious Tea

Great service, lovely product. Had a substitute item as something was out of stock, but was called and discussed. Will definitely use them again.

Poor customer service.

As a regular customer for years, I am really disappointed for their customer service lately. I have not yet received my purchase which was ordered in November 2021. Attempted to trace my order through email and social media multiple times but in vain.

It used to be nice

It used to be nice, but there are so many tea companies these days and my favourite oolong tea is not available anymore.

but I need to emphasize I didn't have any problems with this company. all shipping were good.

Dreadful Service

Having purchased tea Palace regularly for 7 years, I placed an order in late November. It was only part delivered in early January - communication from Tea Palace was non existent and finally I received a refund for the bulk of my order after Tea Palace had held my money for more than six weeks.
Terrible service!

Reply from Tea Palace London

Thank you for the comments, we do understand your frustration on this latest order placed with us. I have to be honest and say that as a business we have really struggled over the last couple of months with stock issues, staff leaving and self-isolating. This still is no excuse for poor customer service. I must take ownership for this lack of service and I hope at some point in the future you may wish to try Tea Palace once again. Kind Regards, Daniel.
