If I could give zero stars I would. We purchased a very expensive rug and did not hear a THING about shipping for MONTHS. I have to connect with the original brand of rug in order to finally get it... See more

I was in the mood for a surprise/…

I was in the mood for a surprise/ present to myself so went for a mystery box.

I am so pleased with the quality & range.

Currently swanning about my home in hemp trakkies & silk pyjamas from the box. Which included gorgeous dresses & skirts plus a hilarious fuzzy hat.

I can confirm that the price I paid for the 10 piece box was far exceeded by the rrp of the pieces received.

I've since made a direct order for a skirt & sarong I wanted, I really like the concept of this website.

Deceptive and disappointing

Deceptive sellers. Unlike all other online retailers, they don’t clearly communicate what’s final sale. There is literally no messaging about items not being returnable or exchangeable when using a discount code except in the returns policy - aka the fine print, which nobody reads. It should be messaged when advertising the coupon or in the cart. Plus they don’t communicate when something has shipped or reply to customer care messages either. Buyer beware — it’s not worth it to buy from them.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you so much for your review.

We have highlighted this particular return policy in the bold section on our return page to make it as clear as possible. However, we do appreciate your feedback on that not every customer reads the return policy and we will try to improve this in our future promotions.

Our customer service team advised that we had alrady responded to your email and we are pleased to hear that now you are satisfied with the resolution we provided.

If there is anything else we can help with, please do not heistate to get in touch!

Wouldn’t recommend, disappointing.

Ordered three items, shipping took an exceptionally long time. Don’t order if you need the goods anytime soon.
Two of the items were ok, third was wrong size (ordered M, sent a S)
Customer service was prompt and efficient at the start, they were going to send a replacement for the incorrect item and instructions on how to return the wrong item. I received a tracking number but the tracking suddenly stopped as did contact. Never heard anything else and correct item never arrived. Really disappointing.

Like what other reviews said, this website is such a great idea I wish I had discovered them earlier! Prices are sometimes even better than Sample Sale, plus great customer service and seamless return

Like what other reviews said, this website is such a great idea I wish I had discovered them earlier! Prices are sometimes even better than Sample Sale, plus great customer service and seamless return. I no longer go line up for warehouse sale and strictly only shop with The Archive Place especially for swimwear. The only feedback I would give is some of the popular brands sell out really quickly and it seems like there is nowhere to get notified when they get restock. I have to check regularly to make sure I don’t miss out.

So. Much. To. Love.

This site is such an incredible concept and the team behind it have absolutely nailed everything about it. The site is so user friendly, they have thought of everything! I am OBSESSED. I adore my purchases and love that I’m helping them make a difference. The world needs more of this.

Glad I found their online store!

Beautiful, quality designer products for amazing prices—a great value and they even ship to the US. Shipping takes some time but worth the wait. Very happy and loving my dresses. I will order with them again!

Excellent Customer Service

The site is easy to use. The products great range and prices. Quick delivery. When I had a minor issue there was a very prompt, polite reply and great support. I will definitely purchase again. Their customer service is excellent.

Great Customer Service!

Recently discovered the Archive Place and was super impressed with their huge range and pricing! I placed an order during their Christmas sale, and received my package within the estimated delivery time. When I encountered an issue with one of my pieces I reached out and, with the help of Anna, we were able to resolve the situation in no time. 10/10 communication, quick in their response time, and overall, really nice and understanding in their replies x Thanks!

Lovely linen sets and great service

Express delivery arrived just 1 business day while I was waiting for the tracking information after purchasing within metro Melbourne Australia, I bought 2 sets of linen sleepwear from Des Sen, very good quality with tick material and great volume. This is my first order with the website, will recommend to those concern for quality items and services. Thanks

Amazing customer service!

Long time shopper with The Archive Place, and have never had a bad experience. My last purchase required a return and exchange as I had ordered the wrong size. Following my request for return, the team responded within a few hours. Then, the exchange was at my door literally the next day. Incredible service - responsive, accommodating and fast. Cannot praise the team highly enough!!!!

Great customer service !

Fast Delivery was great. Unfortunately the garment had two stains. I reached out for a return and Anna at the admin team was extremely understanding and helpful and helped arrange everything which took a huge relief off my shoulders. Very quick and prompt responses too made me feel like a valued customer! Thanks Anna from archive !
