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.

Kay was great

Kay was great, and sorted it all for me. However, overall the Whistles experience wasn’t good. I kept having to email & when I didn’t get a reply I went on the live chat instead. Sadly I can’t shop in person anymore as my local branch (Ringwood) was closed down. Just not the same being able to try on & send to store.

Hi Louise.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re so pleased to hear that Kay was able to sort everything out for you, we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to her. That said, we’re genuinely sorry that the overall experience left you feeling disappointed. Having to chase for replies and switch to live chat isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been.

We also appreciate how disappointing it is not to be able to shop in person since the closure of our Ringwood branch. Being able to try items on and use click & collect in store really does make a difference, and we know online shopping isn’t quite the same experience.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sharing it with the wider team as we continue working to improve our service. Thank you again for your honesty, we truly appreciate your support.

Kind regards, Whistles Customer Care

I love going into the Ilkley store, the ladies there are always so helpful and it so nice to be able to go into a shop and look and feel the goods. So much nicer than just shopping via the internet. We need to support our local shops to keep our high streets.

The staff in Harrogate store are great . Never would’ve sourced the black barrel leg jeans without help as they weren’t the pair I thought would suit me . The jeans themselves are fab ,having no waist at all & very slim hips/thighs I struggle to find a fit but these higher waisted than previous try ons are perfect 👌

dress for a wedding…found it!

Lovely sales lady in the Bromley store. Sorry didn’t get her name. It was like good old fashioned sales techniques. Not pushy, bought a couple of different styles to try, helped me on with the jackets. What’s not to love 👏🏻

Missing transport charge refund

I placed an order and asked for next day delivery.
Unfortunatley what I ordered was out of stock and a refund was issued. The next day delivery charge wasn't refunded. By using their easy to use web chat the transport charge was refunded and a good will gesture included. Well handled Molly!

What a hopeless company when ordering…

What a hopeless company when ordering on line. I placed an order at the start of this month for x3 items and only one arrived. When I eventually got a response from customer services I was told that their records suggest that all three of the items had been sent out. After ‘investigations’ I was refunded for the outstanding amounts and given a code for next day delivery ie if I wanted to reorder the items. Sadly by this stage one of the items was no longer available. Stupidly I placed a further order and yet again, only one of the items arrived. Same response, Whistles system recorded that both items had been sent out…now refunded and yet again free next day delivery code. Am I likely to complete this game all over again? No way! I haven’t got time to keep ordering from such a disorganised company.

Appalling

Appalling. I ordered a pair of trainers on Friday 13th Feb with delivery due Wednesday 18 - Friday 20th Feb. With no dispatch email received on the Thursday 19th Feb i made contact - only to be told there was a stock issue (would have been nice if they’d informed me first before I made contact) and they’d arrive the following week. I said that was too late and to cancel - i was told that i need to wait for dispatch so they can do a return to sender and issue a refund.
I contacted them a second time on Tuesday 24th Feb to say i cannot continue to wait with no update on dispatch when my money was taken on 16th Feb. The online chat agent (Emily) was of no use, saying again they can’t refund till dispatched and returned back to themselves and i asked again when they’d be dispatched - with a reply given of wait another 48hrs! So i continue to wait while they can’t fulfil orders and have had my money since 16th Feb.
I also selected to email a copy of the chat to myself - and those chats conveniently expire so you have no record of the chat.
I have today issued a dispute and chargeback request via my credit card provider. Truly appalling and i would never ever shop at Whistles and advise anyone else the same.
