Hi Marion, thank you for your review!

I didnt want to write a bad review but…

I didnt want to write a bad review but in the end it was just one too many times of inaction. I want to stress that every email response was very quick and polite and eventually it did get resolved.

I understand the stock of the Lowa shoes is really bad at the moment which is out of your hands and im not putting the blame of that on UniformStores. Although it would have been nice to keep customers informed about that rather than just changing the "Delivered by [Month]" every month unless they emailed first.

Disregarding the stock issues, it took almost 2 months from when I requested a refund to actually receiving it, and only because I got into further contact.

11 Apr - Preordered for April delivery
28 Apr - Me: Emailed asking about stock since theres no way they will be delivered now
04 May - Me: No reply so emailed again.
04 May - UniformStores: Replied about stock coming slowly, was very polite and informative.
27 Jul - Me: Requested a refund since it seems they will never be in stock. Will order them again when they are.
28 Jul - UniformStores: Sorry to disappoint and explaining stock issue again.
14 Aug - Me: Nothing changed regarding refund, so emailed again asking about status of the order.
15 Aug - UniformStores: "From my records you have requested a refund. Is that still what you wish?"
16 Aug - Me: Yes
17 Aug - UniformStores: Not a problem, that will be refunded in 5-7 days.
18 Sep - Me: Is it possible to confirm this refund was processed? I still didnt see anything on my side
18 Sep - UniformStores: Let me check for you today.
20 Sep - Received refund

Im not sure the refund was even started until asking about it again on the 18th Sep as the order status remained at "Refund requested" up until that point. After I actually received it, checking again the status was "Refunded". If that was a problem on my card issuer side, wouldnt the status on UniformStore already be refund complete? And strange that it finally came 2 days after emailing about it again.

Regardless of that being correct or not, I requested a refund on the 27th Jul, acknowledged on the 28th Jul and ignored until the 17th Aug after contacting again.

Again, the responses were quick and polite which is rare these days. But at the end of the day I paid money to buy a product and receive it on time or at least receive a quick refund, not to have a conversation.

Good supplier

I did not get a confirmation email or delivery estimate date but I bought one item and it delivered shortly after transaction and it was as described.

Quick delivery and perfect fit

I couldn’t get the size boots I needed from the AKU shop direct, and was a bit cautious about buying boots without trying them on. But I got size 5s and they fit perfectly. Shipping was quick and I had no issues at all.

Lowa boots

I have placed order on 29th of May and payed full amount of more than 130£.
The bots were delayed in shipment firstly in 2 weeks than again in 1 week, than again in 1 week with no exact dates. I have cancelled order 2 days ago but still no payment back and no reply about return!

Please don't take money from people if you don't have goods and not sure in delivery terms.

Very Positive Experience.

I have been struggling to replace my Lowa boots for some time now, and stumbled upon this company using a Google search. As I was pressed for time, I queried the estimated delivery. I ordered on the Monday, they were dispatched the same day and they were with me the very next day. Can’t fault the service, quick to respond to messages and quick to dispatch. Very happy, and have bookmarked for future reference.

Hi Antz, thank you for your review. Glad to hear you're happy with your order!

Poor/zero communication and goods haven't arrived!

Placed an order on the 5/5, had confirmation of order, but no tracking details etc. Sent an email to chase, got a response that they would look into and have not had a response to date. Emailed this morning to cancel the order as a result- zero customer service. Can't rate the products as they haven't arrived. I wouldn't use again. Their delivery terms are- Standard Delivery - £3.99
We use Royal Mail 2nd Class Signed for or Hermes as our stand standard delivery method for all orders mainland UK.
This service takes a maximum of 3 business days from dispatch (we aim to dispatch same day).
UPDATE-
Since writing review, Uniform Stores have contacted me and assured me they have cancelled the order and refunded me.

Hi Pripiyat. Sorry to hear about your frustration. I have been through our orders and cannot link up what yours would have been based on this review. We also haven't received cancellation emails this morning and have replied to any email queries from yesterday.

If you have ordered a pair of Lowa boots, many of these have been a 'pre-order' which are not dispatched in the normal way as you have pointed out in your review, but as and when they are imported into the UK. This has been clearly indicated on our website next the size being ordered on the dropdown menu.

I have also been through all orders placed on the 5th of February 2023 and cannot find any that are not dispatched.

If you wanted to email or call us again and indicate you have left a review we can look into this further for you just in case your item has been lost in the post.

Thank you for your review and help!
