It amazes me how a company like Facebook can let so many fake companies get onto their site to sell either crap or items that you never receive. Yes, they pay Facebook (Meta) to post their advertising... See more

Dreadful company

On 29th November I placed an order and paid for a child’s gift that stated in stock and delivered in two days. Three days later having had no delivery notification I contacted customer services to be told that this product would be delivered to them and sent straight out to me the following Monday. Contact and guarantee of dispatching continued until two weeks past and they cancelled the order. I was left with very little time to get a replacement. Plus they said a refund would take five days to process when the payment was taken the day of order. This business took my money knowing they did not have the product available and then constantly gave incorrect information and guarantees of delivery.

HOW?

Worst customer service ever (Emily, who interviewed you and thought to hire you for customer service). They are rude and misleading

How is this company even still trading

How is this company even still trading? Its my son who has given them his money. I've just taken delivery. The box is old, half hanging open and battered. I don't even know if there's anything inside. Probably fallen out. God only knows what they have in their post room. Surprised the carrier accepted it. Don't use this company, please! Don't give people who care nothing for you your money.

Push dog has plastic inside the ears so very noisy and sounds like a cheap product but it wasn't cheap
Took two weeks to deliver after I emailed to chase up the item. Emailed Custom Gifts and told them about the poor quality. They were not very helpful.

Inconsistency

Ordered 2 matching Santa sacks for my children with the idea that I could “swap” the empty sack with a full sack at the end of their bed without them realising. Only issue is that the actual personalisation on the sacks is in different places! My son is 2 so won’t realise this now but he will most certainly get wise to it. Reached out to the company who have refused to send a replacement… also their system doesn’t send out confirmation emails with personalisation requests on which is a pain as I had to get in touch to confirm this (which in he-insight was a waste of time as although the spellings correct the prints location seems to vary depending on who happens to be working that day…)

Absolutely appalled by this company's…

Absolutely appalled by this company's lack of communication.
Order a personalised gift , I've had no communication on the location of the item. The tracking system has no record of this item being order either. I've tried several time to get in touch via email, live chat etc. Absolutely nothing.

I even doubted myself and checked my bank statement. YES PAYMENT TAKEN!

People are struggling financially as it is.... unfortunately this company appears to be feeding off people's purchases.

I've been reading the reviews and I'm annoyed with myself for not checking prior to ordering.

They appear to be responding with the same message to customers. We are so sorry you've had this experience, unfortunately we can't locate your customer number.

Umm... OK however you've received our payment.

Absolutely scam! This will be report to the relevant bodies

fast delivery. Great quality

After reading the reviews when i had already purchased my item i was worried i wouldn't receive my order, so i emailed them straight away, they got right back to me and told me my item was already shipped and on its way. It was fast delivery and great quality.

Absolutely disgusted

Absolutely disgusted, I placed an order on the 27th august and I still haven’t received my order which was a personalised necklace. I’ve emailed them, WhatsApp messaged and emailed again yet I’ve been ignored time and time again, they’ve ruined my experience as a customer, their service is appalling. And every time I asked for a refund… I got ignored. Disgusting. Avoid custom gifts at all costs.

DONT GET WHAT WAS ADVERTISED - DO NOT ORDER

Ordered what looked like a beautiful and unusual bracelet!! After waiting weeks for it - it came!! Was absolutely nothing like the ad! Links were small, instead of big, colour was horrible, clasp nothing like the pic, the personalised bit, supposed to be a wee block of metal, but was just like a dog tag!! Horrible, emailed to try and get it resolved, but obviously some robot just typing the same respnse. I can return it, at my own cost to China but only get 70% back. Told them they should be giving me a full refund and paying for return postage, as its their fault, not mine. DO NOT, EVER, BUY FROM THOS COMPANY, A TOTAL RIP OFF!!

Hi Margaret, we are sorry to hear this but unfortunately we aren't the company you ordered from. We have had to direct quite a few customers to the correct company as they are using our name within their paypal name.

We don't sell Jewellery on our site which is www.customgifts.co.uk

We have tried to sort this with TrustPilot as people shouldn't be able to leave reviews for any company without verification but they don't seem to care about sorting which is a shame as both the company and customer are then left unsatisfied.

We hope you get your problem sorted though.

Many Thanks

Appalling

Arrived 3 weeks late after being promised for Valentines day. Charged £8 postage for an item the size and weight of a credit card and then had the nerve to ask for a tip at check out...will never use them again and I advise you not to either. The worst company I have dealt with in years.

Avoid this company like the plague….

Avoid this company like the plague….
Promise to deliver within 4-7 business working days after order is placed….
After trying to cancel my order I was told I’d be charged £9!!!
To be honest I think it’s a scam they have no intention of suppling anything!!!
If they can scam £9 per customer why would they bother!!!!

You stated that you were told we'd charge you £9 to cancel your order. I can confidently say that here at Custom Gifts, we'd never charge our customers an additional fee to cancel their order.

I've tried to find your order in our system under your name but I couldn't find yours.

If you'd like to get in touch so we can discuss this further and look into what exactly happened during your order.

Poor service

Poor service. My son has ordered his valentines gift weeks ago for his girlfriend and it’s Valentines’ day tomorrow.
They have my money and the date of shipping to me has well exceeded. An email sent to me days ago telling me it’s on its way, to never arrive. Along side the £30. If this does not arrive; I will never order from this company again.
It feels like theft.

I noticed you're reviewing from the United States which we currently don't deliver to. With this in mind, I believe you've left your review on our page by mistake.
