I bought and paid for trainers on line on 20th February. On 27th February I received an email advising that there would be a delay. I heard nothing further. 4 weeks after placing an order I contacted them by email to cancel the order and request a refund. Their presumably AI response invited me to use the returns process and advised the thread would be considered closed as resolved. They have now agreed a refund which I am waiting for. Shameful for a company like whistles

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re very sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused.

We completely understand how unacceptable it is to wait so long for an update, and then not receive the level of support you needed when you reached out to cancel your order. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the lack of clear communication and the response you received.

We’re pleased to hear that a refund has now been arranged, but we appreciate that this does not make up for the inconvenience caused. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with our team so we can review both our communication processes and customer support experience.

If there are any further issues with your refund, please don’t hesitate to get back in touch so we can ensure this is fully resolved for you.

Kind regards, Whistles Customer Care

Personal and friendly welcome

The best thing about popping into the Whistles store is the personal welcome you ALWAYS get - a friendly hello, a bit of chat as you are looking at an article - not sales mad focus, but an actual human connection. Julie epitomised that today which made my purchase an easy decision. Thank you for providing high quality products and welcoming human beings in store to speak to.

Update - lovely to get a reply from the Whistles team although no clue why their reply is addressed to Cornwall!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. Ordered a coat in the sale, quick delivery and well packaged. Beautiful wool blend long coat, received lots of compliments.
A few days later disappointed to find a further discount of 20% off sale items. Contacted customer service by their web chat and requested a price match, didn’t hear back from them after 10 days -so contacted them again today via their web chat. Their advisor Niamh quickly sorted out the refund for the price difference, no quibble, very pleased with the outcome.
Will shop at Whistles again and will recommend for excellent customer service.

Ordered a bag, didn’t receive what I ordered

Ordered a bag. After waiting for it to be shipped to Canada, paying taxes and fees, was sent a completely different bag. The one I actually ordered is sold out now. If this is what I can expect, I will NEVER buy anything from Whistles again.

GE11479342878GB

I can't even seem to get ahold of customer service to return the item as we don't have DHL where I live.
They also want to charge me $51.15 for the return on top of everything !!

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM WHISTLES IF YOU ARE IN CANADA !

As per the response below:
I have tried to contact your customer service department - it's REALLY difficult. No response, and you provided no alternative link.
