The CitizenryReviews 

Very prompt service and response to my order

I wanted to share my experience because I wish I had known this before purchasing. I bought a set of stonewashed linen sheets in November 2022 and recently discovered three holes in them.

Before purchasing I did quite a bit of research and read a lot of reviews because I know these sheets are expensive. That is also why I wanted to share my experience with others.

We only use these sheets during the winter months, so they have realistically seen about 15 to 16 months of actual use. For sheets at this price point, that lifespan was really disappointing.

I reached out to customer service twice before writing this review. I knew it was well outside the return window and I was not asking for a refund or credit. I mainly wanted to understand whether this level of durability was typical, but unfortunately I did not get much clarity on that.

The sheets felt nice when they were new, but finding three holes after roughly 15 to 16 months of wear makes them absolutely not worth the price for such a short durability. Buyer beware, for the price tag they only lasted me 15-16 months.

I placed an order on 2/17.
Have received no shipping or tracking, the phone number listed refers to emailing them which I have and no response — tried several times. Assuming they are not legitimate. And scam company. ‘Will have Cc dispute charges. Grrrr

They asked for me to provide more information which I did and have still not received shipping or tracking confirmation.
3/20

Loved vases - great value

Great communication, very interesting products and gave enough information about them to feel good about the purchase. The product is beautiful, and I can't wait to shop here again. The Citizenry has items that I can't find around here and not everyone has.

I cancelled the order after 5 months because it was never shipped to me, even though I ordered items that were in stock, I will never order from you again and I would never recommend you.

Although they have a decent product mix, their fulfillment and service is sub par. Multiple orders, none delivered on time. One delivery was the wrong item and it’s taken weeks for a response, still unresolved. Phone support does not go to a live person or take a message, email is iffy on responding. I don’t have the patience and the prices don’t justify the inconvenience.

I made in order in December and it arrived incomplete, one of the items was missing. I tried to contact their support line that doesn't work and emailed them several times with no response. I literally have no way of resolving the problem.

I posted a comment here before and someone replied suggesting they would contact me, but even that never happened!

This is my order number, 470415. I have no way of replying to your reply so I am not sure how you are "reaching out for more information".

I ordered a tapestry piece on December 8 & it said it would ship early January. It’s now February 2! I emailed them on January 5 to get an update on my order. Surprisingly they responded on January 8 saying:
“Thanks so much for your note, and we're truly sorry for the delay. We see that the Amala Jute Wall Hanging was originally scheduled to ship in early January, but due to a delay in our restock, we were not able to fulfill them right away.

The restock is still in transit and is expected to arrive at our warehouse next week, provided there are no additional delays due to the recent holiday, with orders shipping in late January to early February.”

I then asked them once they received the item if they can expedite the order since it was originally supposed to ship out early January and they said they can’t since they work with a third-party that ships automatically from them.
I then decided to email them on January 16 just to see if they had a better ETA & then got this response two days later:

“Thank you for your note! I checked the latest update from our team, and the restock is still in inland transit to our warehouse. It is currently expected to arrive within the week of the 25th, assuming there are no delays with transport. Once checked in, we anticipate shipping within 1–2 weeks, so delivery may be around early to mid-February.

We apologize for the inconsistent timing and want to assure you that we’re working to ship your order as quickly as possible. You’ll receive a separate notification once your package is on its way.”

I then told them how unfortunate the situation is because the date continues to change and be pushed out further.

Then on January 23 I took a screenshot where it said that the specific item would ship in 6-9 days. They also told me in a previous email that their ETA is accurate. If it was then 1. I would have already gotten my piece and 2. If I would have ordered the same exact piece on January 23 I supposedly would have received it by now. We went back a few more times but at this point I have emailed them another three times and I still have not heard back from them. I told them that now I am questioning that they are a legit business.

I ordered 2 different products, neither of which were delivered on time. One was delayed 2 months which I only found out after reaching out to customer service.

The French linen bedsheets I ordered were more than double the cost of my previous set of sheets and they developed a hole in them after only 1 month of use.

I still do not have my comforter that I ordered in November and it is now February.

No one has reached out with an update. Pretty sad experience overall I would not recommend purchasing from this company.

I still don’t have my item.
I went into your store in Soho and ordered it with an associate on 12/19.I was told I should get delivery on 1/5.
Then I received an email the next day from you saying I had to reorder the item for some reason. I did that and now I still don’t have the item!

I highly recommend avoiding this company. They are basically fraudulent, they say something will ship, take your money, and it never ships.
In response to the reply to my review-I am asking for an immediate refund.

Ordered a mirror from them in mid November with their website stating that it was in stock and would be delivered before Christmas. Fast forward to January 20th and nothing. I contacted customer support via email and the first time they said it would ship mid December, then late December. They do not send updates, the only way to talk to someone is through their customer support email and the information they've given me has not been accurate. I was then told on January 11th and they said the mirror is in their warehouse, but no shipping date or any information on the item. Still nothing about the delivery date or anything. This wouldn't be a problem if they were upfront about timelines and proactive about delays but giving zero information until you email customer support and then giving fake timelines makes things different. If you're thinking about ordering from them do so months before you actually want to use the item.

The Peruvian blanket is beautiful quality

I ordered this rug in November and it said it would ship within 9 days. I’m currently 2 months later in mid January and the rug still hasn’t shipped. It feels very misleading that the rug wasn’t even in the country when I ordered it and I have been told that we are waiting on the shipment. There was no communication about the delay. I have had to email customer service periodically to get information… but, I’m always just told that we are waiting. Very disappointing.

I ordered a coffee table on October 26 and was quoted a delivery date of late Nov-early Dec. They use a separate company for delivery called Metropolitan Delivery. Delivery company scheduled the delivery date for Dec 16. The table should have a top, 4 legs, and hardware. On the first delivery attempt, when the delivery men opened the boxes, one had been mislabeled by Citizenry as the top when in fact it contained legs. I had to schedule a second delivery attempt. This time, they only brought the top and half of the legs. They explained that Citizenry never sent them hardware. I was never able to get Citizenry on the phone, they only have email. Eventually, Citiznery admits they don't even have the hardware which is why they stopped selling the table (even though they obviously sold it to me.) I was able to get a refund but will not get the time back that I wasted on this process. There was horrible communication between Citizenry and the delivery company and I, as the consumer, often had to serve as the liaison passing information between the two. I discourage anyone from purchasing from this site.

I purchased the Stonewashed Linen Sheets. This are the least comfortable sheets I’ve ever used and I’m accustomed to linen sheets. I washed them 5 times now hoping they’ll soften, but they are unusable. Way too expensive to feel like sandpaper.

Your company had no issue taking my payment (my credit statement shows a charge of $225.14 on 11/30/2025), yet no one reached out to inform me of any delay in delivery. I contacted the company because I noticed the same items on the website listed as “Ships in 1 week,” even though I ordered long before that and received nothing as promised.

I sent two emails—on 12/23 and 12/27—and received no response. I had to try again on 12/30 through the AI chat just to get an answer. The offer of a $20 credit was an insult to your customer.

I canceled the order and requested them to refund my money. Other businesses will be happy to earn my trust instead.

I’ve heard your products are good, but now I’ll never know, and I will not be ordering from your company ever again. One thing I do know is that your customer service is VERY poor.

These sheets came out of the box with a pull in the flat sheet. The thread is broken and will become a hole as soon as we wash them. I notified the company, but they said that they wouldn’t replace it because it had been more than 30 days since they arrived. (We were waiting for a new bed, so hadn’t opened the box.) Obviously it’s the company’s job to inspect the product before it’s shipped. I’ve been a good customer of the Citizenry for many years, but won’t order from them again.

I ordered towels in mid november. The order said they would ship mid-december. They still have not shipped. I have emailed several times and have not gotten so much as an acknowledgment. Not sure what to do at this point other than dispute the charge.

Update for anyone experiencing something similar or wondering if you should order from them: it’s been 5 days since their response on this review. I replied almost immediately with the requested information, have not heard a peep since. I just sent another email inquiring about my order and have decided to give it until Monday before reporting this to my bank.
Will update here if they make any attempt to actually figure out the situation. At this point, I’m not hopeful I will hear anything.

Update 2 as of 1/7 - still have not heard a word from The Citizenry after my follow up to their response on this post. I have disputed the charge with my bank.
