Clothes look lovely

Clothes look lovely. Haven’t worn or washed them yet, so can’t comment more. Colours as expected and the fit is good too. Delivery was very slow. I was told they would be delivered on the Wednesday afternoon. Then that afternoon during the expected delivery I was told they were unable to deliver. No reason given. U fortunately the times they then suggested I was going to be out, so I had to wait until Monday. Just as well I didn’t need them in a hurry

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're delighted to hear that you're pleased with the colours and fit of your new pieces, and we hope they become much-loved additions to your wardrobe.
We're very sorry for the delay you experienced with the delivery. While we work closely with Royal Mail, there can occasionally be unexpected delays or delivery issues that we're not made aware of in advance. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive changing delivery updates and then have to wait a few extra days to receive your parcel.
Having checked the tracking, we're pleased to see that your order has now been successfully delivered. We hope you're enjoying your new Kettlewell pieces and that they'll bring plenty of confident colour to your wardrobe.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Katie

Colourful cami tops

Lovely colourful cami tops , great worn under a shirt or as an extra layer when it’s colder . Seem softer and stretchier than previous tops , not yet worn or washed . Great value bought in the sale with a quick delivery .

Items arrived swiftly and nicely…

Items arrived swiftly and nicely packaged. I sent one item back as it was a little bit too big and the sweetheart neckline was too deep and wide. The other item was perfect. The quality was excellent.

Tamara Navy Trousers & Riley ruched skirt

Tamara Navy Trousers medium bought in sale
I am 5'9" inside leg 32 size 12 fit & length ( resting on top of foot) perfect for me. The style is good. However, they were creased along the seams which weren't straight & the elasticated waistband & parts of the legs appeared to have been dragged through dust. I didn't like the material which is very similar to the short, pull on pencil skirts (bought in the sale last winter) & just too thick; it didn't feel, or look, good quality.
Delivery time was fine.
I'm finding the returns process difficult as I don't have a printer & the Royal Mail website won't accept my home address😱
I also bought Riley Ruched skirt in medium ( blackcurrant) which is a great colour, good fit and length...just on my knee.

Hello Tamara,
I'm sorry that the trousers didn't meet your expectations in terms of the fabric and finish. The creasing, uneven seam appearance and marks you noticed on the waistband and legs certainly aren't the standard we aim for.
If you don't have access to a printer, please get in touch with our Customer Service team directly and we'll be able to send a returns label to you.
We hope that you enjoy wearing the Riley Ruched Skirt and are delighted to hear this style works so well for you.
Kind regards Amy

Lovely colours however.........Disappointing and misleading checkout experience

My wife been a loyal customer for some time and has always enjoyed shopping here, which makes this review all the more disappointing to write.

Her issue isn't with the cost of the postage itself—it's with the way the checkout process works. Once you've added enough items to qualify for free delivery, the website tells you that you've qualified, so naturally you expect that to be the delivery you'll receive. Instead, at the final stage of checkout, Premium Delivery is selected, increasing the price unless you notice and change it yourself.

In my opinion, if a customer has qualified for free standard delivery, that should be the default option. Customers who want Premium Delivery should have to actively select it, not the other way around.

My wife also increased the value of her latest order to qualify for the free gift, only to find that this wasn't made clear either. The whole experience left her feeling caught out rather than appreciated as a loyal customer.

Customer service was polite and responded promptly, but the response was simply that you needed to manually change the delivery option, despite her explaining that the checkout process itself is what caused the problem.

It's a real shame because my wife has always enjoyed shopping here, but this experience has unfortunately soured the relationship. I hope the company reviews its checkout process so that other customers don't have the same experience. Sadly, it has made her think twice about shopping here again......

Hello Jamie
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're especially sorry to hear that this experience left such a disappointing impression after your wife's loyalty and support over the years.
When a customer qualifies for free standard delivery, it's natural to expect that option to be reflected clearly throughout the checkout process. Whilst the delivery method can be changed before payment, we appreciate your point that customers may reasonably assume the free delivery option would be selected automatically once the threshold has been met.
We're also sorry to hear that your wife felt disappointed regarding the free gift promotion. We always want our customers to feel valued and appreciated, particularly those who have supported us for many seasons, so we're sorry that this part of her shopping experience felt unclear.
Thank you as well for acknowledging the responsiveness of our Customer Care team. Whilst we're pleased we were able to respond promptly, we appreciate that your feedback extends beyond the individual order and relates to the wider checkout journey itself.
We'll ensure your comments regarding both the delivery selection process and promotional messaging are shared with the relevant teams for review.
We're very sorry that this has affected her confidence in shopping with us, and we do hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome her back in the future and provide the positive experience she has previously enjoyed with Kettlewell.
Kind regards Amy

Lost that personal service

The company used to offer a very personal service but have recently lost their founder and although the service level is good we can no longer contact the stylists who used to work for the company as they were made redundant. This has made them more of a very run of the mill, on-line company. I was prepared to pay more for the personal service but now find prices a bit high for no 'extras'

Hello Marian
We're sorry to hear that you feel the experience has changed and that you're missing the personal connection you previously enjoyed. We understand how valuable that direct access to our styling expertise was, and we're sorry that you feel we're no longer offering the same level of personalised service that you came to expect.
While our services may have evolved over time, providing helpful, knowledgeable and friendly support remains incredibly important to us.
We also appreciate your comments regarding pricing and value. We work hard to ensure our garments offer quality that lasts, with considered design, carefully developed colours and exceptional wardrobe essentials that our customers can return to season after season. However, we understand that value is about the whole experience, not just the product itself.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Feedback like yours helps us understand what matters most to our customers and where we can continue to improve.
Kind regards Amy
