Did not receive a notification of returned goods, apparently this could have gone into junk mail.Slightly small fitting on the leggings, but I have 4 pairs which I am happy with

Similar bad experience with returns and refund to other reviews on here. The amount of time taken from thrm receiving a return back and a refund is too long. They also take a long time to reply to emails and the replies do not answer your query. I am still waiting for my refund. This experience has put me off buying from Acai again.

Beware of refunds
Order number: #AC492371
Order number: #AC493100
I find this company’s customer service quite terrible. I returned items to Acai. I had two different orders. Both both orders have been received back to your warehouse on the 4th of June and you’ve confirmed this with email, however there’s been no money back into my account. It’s been well over the 21 stated days for refund. I’ve had absolutely no response to my emails. Where is my money? It’s unacceptable. Would never buy from this company again despite their clothing being good.

The trousers & belts are super quality items.
The trousers are super comfortable. These High Abrasion Adventurite trousers are softer than the Adventurite Outdoor ones so are more comfortable. Will order the High Abrasion ones again.
The braided belts not only look good but are excellent quality & will fit any size.

Appalling Experience With Return/Refund
Updating this review following Acai's reply:
1. When and how did you ask me for more details? I have no record that you've asked for more details.
2. I had an email from you two days ago stating the amount to be refunded. But no refund. I have waited over a month for my refund now, and I really need the money for household expenses. When will I receive it?
Outrageously terrible performance, Acai.
Used to love Acai, however I returned the products in my last order. I received an email from Acai on June 1st to say the return had been received, and warning me that the return might take 3 weeks to process. Here we are on June 29th, still no refund. Why would it take 3 weeks to process a return in the first place? And why is that the customer's problem? Why should the customer have to wait so long for a refund, that still doesn't show up even after that time? Very disappointed, and worried about when I will get my money back. Will never risk shopping here again.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are incredibly sorry for the delay and the frustration this has caused.
We completely understand your worry and disappointment—you should never have to chase your money, and waiting nearly a month for a refund. I have requested some details from you - I hope that's OK!
Lack of customer service replies but endless promotional emails!
So overall I am pleased with my items, but I feel like I got lucky with sizing by reading other reviews.
I tried to get in touch with the company after ordering to discuss sizing and see about swapping the size but had no reply. Fine, it was ordered and then a few days later dispatched. But even after trying to contact them again, they never replied. It was clear I would have problems if I needed to swap sizing. So no replies from the company but endless marketing emails!

That said, we completely understand your frustration regarding the lack of response from our customer service team, especially while still receiving our promotional emails. That is definitely not the experience we want you to have.
If you do want to discuss this further I have requested your details.
Thanks.

Great products
I love ACAI and have bought countless products from them. Love that they are a female owned company and their ethos. The reason I'm rating them only 3* however is because the customer service isn't good at all. I sent a message twice via their website and also through instagram and no one ver bothered to reply which I think is pretty poor. Otherwise I would've rated them higher.

Great clothes but poor returns processing
Have always loved these clothes and the ease of returns. However this is now the second time I have not received a refund and the return was acknowledged many weeks ago. My email to query has not been answered, nor my second email to query this. This leaves me very reluctant to order going forwards. A great brand being let down by poor returns processing. I am well out if the 21 working day target for returns.

Thank you so much for your review! It's lovely to hear the fit was spot on for your daughter in law. We hope she gets lots of adventures out of them and that they stand the test of time. Thank you for choosing ACAI!

Thank you so much, that's great to hear! We put a lot of thought into making sure our pieces look as good as they perform, so this really means a lot to us. We hope you enjoy wearing them!
The bag looks nice and the quality…
The bag looks nice and the quality seems good. However, the shoulder strap is not adjustable, which is a major drawback. Once you put a purse, phone, and a few everyday items inside, the bag hangs much lower than expected, making it uncomfortable to wear. It’s a shame because the design is attractive, but an adjustable strap would have made it much more practical.

Hi Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you’re pleased with the look and quality of the bag.
We’re sorry to hear that the fixed-length shoulder strap hasn’t worked as well for you in terms of comfort and practicality. We appreciate how important adjustability is for everyday use, and your comments about the bag sitting lower than expected are really helpful and will be shared with our product team for review.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — we really value it as we continue to improve both design and functionality.

Very Impressed
I have now bought 3 items from ACAI and I am impressed. The fit is perfect and my waterproof coat held up amazingly well while looking after animals during a very wet week in Wales! I will definitely be buying from them again. I also love their ethos. Big love all round.

A wet week in Wales is the ultimate waterproof test and we're so glad it passed! Thank you for coming back to us for a third time, it really does mean the world. Lovely to hear the fit has been consistent too. We'll pass on the big love to the whole team!
