Fantastic - Everyone very helpful and Galiena in the Bath branch went more than the extra mile - as did her colleagues. Very very good quality products and exemplary service.

High quality light fitting

Everything went well from ordering to receipt. The light has been fitted outside and looks fantastic. We are very pleased!

Beautiful piece of furniture

The item arrived in a large crate and so solidly packed. I am grateful that the delivery men unpacked the item and delivered to the front room.
Very pleased with the table. It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

Hi Henry,

We’re very sorry to hear that your delivery experience did not meet your expectations. For standard deliveries, items are scheduled as drop-off only, with white glove delivery available as an upgrade for additional assistance such as unpacking or installation.

While our driver was not required to assist beyond a standard drop-off, we understand there may have been some miscommunication. We’re pleased to hear that the team were ultimately able to help with bringing the item into your home and removing the packaging for you at no additional cost.

We’re sorry for any confusion caused and appreciate your feedback, which we will share with our logistics team.

In the past I have purchased Danish design lamps (PH Louis Poulsen) in Denmark. After returning home to the UK, I wanted a PH80 for my redesigned living area. I was very pleased to find the offered lamp for a reasonable price (given that it is authentic Danish design, so expensive by nature). The website was easy to navigate, and the order process went flawlessly. I received my lamp within a week (with the Easter holiday inbetween). The lamp was in perfect condition, having been packed by the manufacturer, including the certificate of authenticity. Over the moon and happy to have my new lamp.

Crap light, but excellent service

The product i ordered was concrete with a rough finish - i expected this, but one of three lights had been taken out of the box prior to shipping and wasn't replaced with the admittedly feable supplier's protection (a plastic bag). Therefore, it arrived damaged around the circumference. Holloways replaced quickly without quibble. Exceptional service from them for a not brilliant product. Can't fault Holloways for this.

Waited 10 days for delivery slot and they cancelled that on the day!

Waited 10 days for delivery slot. The delivery company then cancelled delivery at last minute without notice. Took 3 phone calls chasing HoL for update before getting the delivery company to rearrange the delivery. Awful customer service.

Hi Alex,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has caused. Waiting for a delivery slot, only for it to be cancelled at short notice, is understandably disappointing.

We also apologise for the difficulty you had in getting an update and for the need to chase multiple times—this is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We will be raising this with our delivery partner to understand what went wrong and help prevent this from happening again.

If there is anything further we can assist with, please do contact us directly with your order details and we will be happy to help.
