Don’t buy from here

I’ve been very happy in the past but something has changed.
I presumed the 2 dresses were coming from the Newcastle shop but it turned out that they were coming directly from China.
1 arrived and 1 did not, despite being assured the post proved it had been.
I sent back the 1 I did get, recorded delivery but was told the place didn’t exist.
So I am out of pocket by over £100 with no replies from the shop or owner

Don’t use this company it’s a scam

Don’t use this company it’s a scam the photos they show you are influencers wearing items that they then copy and the copies are poor quality. First order never arrived after weeks of chasing they sent the items again. The quality was so poor (no items have any labels which is illegal in the U.K.) I asked to send them back, they didn’t want to do this but eventually gave in. It’s been further weeks and I’ve had no refund and no one will answer my emails. First order was placed end of March and it’s now 1st July and nothing to show for it but being quite heavily out of pocket.

Placed an order with this company on the 1st May, I understand we have had 2 Bank Holidays but it is now the 10th May and still haven’t received the item. Have contacted company on several occasions and only one email stating that it has been despatched that was the 4thMay still waiting!!! Can’t comment on the purchase as yet. Diabolical delivery will not use this company again.

What a way to try and damage a reputable business! Your order delivery dates are clearly stated on your order confirmation (which have not passed yet). That is not taking into account a bank holiday. You contacted us firstly to ask if your order had been dispatched which we replied too and confirmed it had been. Today we have had two emails from yourself to ask where your order is. You have not waited for a reply hence why you have taken your frustration out on Trustpilot. As we said your delivery order dates are clearly on your order confirmation and your order will be with you within these dates.

Ripoff merchants!

Just like the previous reviewer, nightmare trying to return an item. Only communication is via email. Did not send a returns label as stated and I feel ripped off. Terrible quality product, a jumper that was not as in advertised photo on line. No care label inside, looked handmade. Would never purchase or recommend them to anyone. I’m £59.99 poorer for the experience, terrible customer service. Do not waste your money with this ‘company’

Following the reply from havetolove below I would very much welcome the opportunity to show email communication I have sent and received. The number given on the website does not allow the caller to leave a voicemail! I have even asked for proof of an email sent with a returns label and had no response. Very disappointing.

Hi Pam,
You sent us a photo of your product which is exactly like the photo online. A best-selling top on our website which we have never received a complaint for until you did. We have replied to your emails and have never received a voicemail from you as we do have a phone number. We sent you a returns label in which you had 7 days to use and 14 days to return as per our terms and conditions. Your replied to us to say you had not received a returns label after the 14 days period. We have to stick to our terms and conditions and you had time to get in touch with us within this period.

Hi Lynne,

Your order has been returned and refunded. You bought one of best-selling dresses and were the first to complain of the quality after selling many of this style. I personally helped as you could not download the label numerous times. We have replied to over ten emails from yourself.

Fantastic personal service and beautiful clothes

I have bought many items from Havetolove over the years and still wear them all. I do not understand the negative reviews because the shop always keep you updated with tracking information on your order and respond to emails promptly. Their customer service and communication is excellent. I purchased a coat from them in the recent offer, I ordered it on a Thursday and it arrived first thing Monday morning. The coat is a beautiful quality and I am delighted with it. I love this store because their clothes are different and special but at reasonable prices. I only ever shop online with them but would love to visit their store one day. I would highly recommend them for excellent customer service and beautiful products.

Hi Denise, I am not sure how valid this review is as the only email we have from you is on 28th August in which we replied to you straight away. As explained Royal Mail have been on strike hence why your order is being delivered slightly outside of the estimated delivery time. 95% of the time our orders are delivered within the estimated delivery times shown to you and on your order confirmation however we cannot control couriers and we have kept you informed. Your order has been delivered.

Amazing dresses and brilliant customer service

I have bought from havetolove for years, my first purchase was my prom dress back in 2011 which I still wear today! I haven't shopped at havetolove since before lockdown (just out of habit) until this week when I bought a white lace dress which fits like a dream! I forgot how gorgeous all of
Their clothes are and they fit like a dream! I've put on a bit of weight since lock and was struggling to find something to wear for an event and I explained that to Kate via Instagram message and she was brilliant. I explained exactly what type of dress style I was after and she sent through photos of dresses they had in stock matching my requests and she suggested I try this specific one- it was absolutely perfect and fits so well! Their customer service is exceptional and they really go above and beyond! I am currently embarking on a 6 week boot camp in preparation of the GNR, I cannot wait to order a load of things in I have my eye on when i am
Finished my fitness challenge. Also very excited for the autumn collection! Loyal customer since 2011 ❤️.

Hi Bella, sorry to hear you think this as I see you have ordered one of our best-selling dresses. We have not had a return request for your dress so you must have changed your mind and decided to keep the dress.

Hi Shellie, as explained on email we provide delivery times at product, cart and checkout page. We emailed you directly explaining this and 95% of the time are estimated delivery times are correct. However as also explained in the email to you that your delivery has been effected by covid causing staff shortages which is out of our control. We also explained we are keeping an eye on tracking and that it will be delivered within the next couple of days which is 4 days out of the estimated delivery times we provided. Many thanks
