Broken Items Upon Arrival

It was great and very convenient to have bedding, towels, and a basic kitchen kit waiting at my housing when I arrived. What wasn't great was that one of the bowls and one of the plates was broken when I opened the box, meaning that I only ended up getting half of the dining set I had paid for. It is a shame that the kit wasn't packed more carefully.

Hi Laura,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this great review, its really appreciated!

So sorry to read you have received some broken crockery. Our packaging is designed to safeguard the product during transit (we are committed to environmental sustainability and therefore minimise excess packaging), but unfortunately, occasional breakages can occur during this transition.

Please contact our customer service team who will be more than happy to process a refund for the damaged items.

Wishing you all the best,

Emma

Horrible Dont buy please !

Horrible one plate was broken everything is so low quality, the bedding stain my face blue and in the washer machine turns everything blue, the hangers are broken after 2 weeks of use ! The crockery now is black ! The only good thing of the kit is the potato peeler ! And you can find everything more cheaper in Temu or SHEIN or even in a local store ! I don’t recommend at all ! Is a burglary!

Hi Juan,

I'm so glad we were able to resolve your issues together, although I am still waiting for the images you offered of the items you were unhappy with.

As mentioned in my emails dated 20th and 22nd October, it would be so helpful to our quality control team and procurement department to receive these images so we can look to make improvements.

I do hope you are still able to send them. :-)

Ideal for those having to travel by plane

Great choices of quality items and great after sales service. Something was broken on delivery and a refund or replacement was offered, Would recommend, especially good for us as we had to travel by plane from the Channel Islands.

Not the value I was expecting

UPDATE: I've been contacted by the UniKitOut team and they take their review's seriously. I was refunded for the products that were damaged and with what I had most complaints about. Their customer service is great and with some adjustments to the quality of the products they could do really well.

I would say that it is a complete ripoff. The cheapest quality products you can imagine. The bedding is completely synthetic, which is non-breatheable and makes you constantly sweat during the night. Very strong chemical smell. Kitchen towel is not absorbing water at all and leaving cloth residue even after washing it twice. On top of that, one of the plates and bowls were broken when I opened the package. Do not recommend.

Order with a month advanced time

Communication was good I suppose, but ultimately just screwed me around for a business week when in the meantime I didn’t have any bedding, would be good ordered this maybe a month in advance

Hi Eran,

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review and I'm really sorry for the hassle you went through.

You’re right, your parcel was delayed with DPD for about 24 hours, so it didn’t arrive on the day you requested. They tried to deliver the next day, but unfortunately no one was available to accept it, so it was sent back to the local depot for another delivery attempt the following day.

By that time, you’d already asked us to cancel the order, so we did that straight away for you. We completely understand how stressful this must have been, especially as a new student just arriving in a new city and needing your bedding essentials sorted quickly.

We genuinely did everything we could to try and get it delivered to you on time, but sadly the courier let us down on this occasion.

I really appreciate the fact you acknowledged our communication, this will mean a lot to the customer care team.

Wishing you all the best,

Emma

Misleading

Comedy of errors and big bold claims on their website fully stating.
"As we work with most Universities in the UK, we can arrange pre-arrival delivery, meaning your student essentials will be ready & waiting for you when you arrive.

No extra luggage charges & no refused parcels = No hassle."

Ordered on the 8th for delivery on the 11th for my sister in law who's travelling 4500 miles to be at uni. she's arrived to nothing...
This means extra hassle, more money,major inconvenience.
You clearly don't work closely enough with your delivery partner DPD.
Your not as comprehensive as you think you are.
And absolutely should not be making claims like above when you cannot fulfil them.
I've reached out on multiple emails, left my number, even offered to pick up directly. Sh*show.
P*ssed off is an understatement

Hi Chris,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I completely understand how disappointing and stressful this situation must have been, especially after arranging everything ahead of your sister in law’s arrival.

This certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide and I apologise that our delivery process fell short on this occasion.
While we work closely with our courier partners to ensure pre-arrival deliveries run smoothly, it’s clear that didn’t happen here and I can only apologise for the inconvenience it’s caused.

I trust the customer service team were on hand to help with any refunds requested. If you would like me to look into this further for you, please contact me directly at emma@unikitout.com with your order number.

Wishing you all the best,

Emma

Excellent personalized service

Good morning Emma and UniKitOut,
Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent service. My daughter arrived at her student accommodation yesterday and found all essentials already in her room — no stress or worry on her part.
It’s greatly appreciated.

Great customer service

Everything arrived on time in good condition, the items were well packaged and it was all ready for me to organise. The site was easy to navigate and everything was more convenient for when I moved in. My only minor problem is that the towel hook falls off within an hour of being stuck onto the wall, but everything else was great.
