What can I say, this shop is an absolute lifesaver. The amazing owners have saved a dad, well outside of his comfort zone, from a Year 11 prom disaster, and we couldn't be more grateful! The collectio... See more

Beautiful Snowbunny Coat!

I recently purchased the Amo Couture White Roma Faux Fur Hooded Coat, and I absolutely love the coat! The coat is beautifully white; it makes me look like a pretty polar bear, and chic snow bunny at the same time. I have gotten so many compliments from strangers, and even co-workers at my workplace. One little detail that I dislike about the coat is there was no zipper to zip up the coat; I prefer a zipper than the hooks, but that’s fine. I would definitely recommend shopping at this store!

Received the wrong dress!

I ordered a dress 10 days ago and I received a totally different dress in a different colour!
I’ve emailed the company about the issue and still haven’t had a response
I’m not happy at all as this dress looks cheap and the dress I bought was over £100!

We apologise for this and are speaking with our brand partner regarding resending the correct item. Many warehouses have been closed over the Christmas period and Covid sickness is causing pressure on the existing workforce who are working hard to catch up. An email has been sent to you after we received your message over the weekend. Please respond to your email requesting further information on how to proceed with your order.
With apologies,
Little Black Dress

Hi so far the customer service has been terrible. The first order looked as if it failed so I ended up getting two sets at circa £600 total. Nothing was suitable (in fact not happy with the quality as one dress came pre damaged) and returned within a couple of days of receipt. I emailed about the duplicate order and got no response. I am waiting for my refund and no response. It’s been well over two weeks now. I emailed about that too and no response.

Returns

I tried to send a dress back within a day of receiving it as didn’t fit it’s been sent back to me saying I removed the tags I’ve removed nothing a ribbon attached is still attached and yet the company won’t accept this I am still trying but don’t ever expect your moment back if you need to return it’s a complete joke

Only order from here if you have at least a month until you need it!

Ordered my bridesmaid dress from here on 16th November, waited over the 7 days stated for delivery until I emailed to ask where it was as no email correspondence whatsoever.
To be fair lovely representative Gayle replied and said they’d get in touch with the brand to check for me. Apparently the brand “agreed” to post it out for me on urgent delivery - like they were doing me a favour! The dress finally arrived yesterday - 3 weeks since I ordered it. Happy with my purchase but I probably wouldn’t order from here again.

Unprofessional

I ordered a dress for my partner for Christmas on the 1st of November did not get an email of confirmation of my order two weeks past I emailed the company no response for a couple of days then they told me the size was wrong and would I consider changing my size I agree to this waited another week had no response only time I get an answer is when I email them it takes about a week for them to reply this company is a joke all I want is my money back so I can go and buy another dress from somewhere else but they are reluctant to give me my refund but very quickly to take it from my account.

Dress didn't arrive with no response to emails

I ordered 3 dresses, 2 arrived last Monday, 1 didn't arrive but I have still been charged, another one says sized Medium (I am a small 10 and it is far too tight) so I have to pay £4 to return when clearly the sizing is all wrong!
I have emailed 3 times and no response.

Missing dress !!

Very disappointed that I ordered my dress on 7th November and its still not arrived !! I've messaged through Facebook and Emailed and my husband sent a message through Instagram and not 1 reply !! Wouldn't mind if it was a cheap dress but 60quid. Will not be using your Website again !!

Thanks for your response I've emailed again, you state I've had an email previously but I definitely haven't, I've even checked my spam mail ! I received an automated response through Facebook which I don't regard as a proper email. I would still like the dress if its going to come within the next week ! Look forward to hearing back from you soon. Order number 2200112304

Absolutely over the moon with my dress

Absolutely over the moon with my dress. The fit is amazing and it is such good quality. Very flattering and can't wait to show it off. Loved how it was packaged with tissue paper, made it feel very special.

Thank you LBD

Thank you LBD
Whoever from your team that replied to my previous review just overreacted to a customer. In my previous review, I was expressing my frustration for not being able to contact you and not getting a single reply to my emails. I only heard from you after I posted my review.

Anyway, I had a professional conversation over the phone with Harry from your team hence deleted my previous review. Thanks Harry you are an outstanding customer service professional.

I just received my outfit and it’s fabulous. Thanks ever so much LBD. Quality is ✅
I will definitely recommend you to others.

Poor didnt receive item

In a very similar position to a lot of reviews. Ordered a dress 10 October with 2-7 working days delivery, still not received the dress. And sent two emails to them with no response or acknowledgement

Since posting this review I got a reply in a little over 30 mins. I have received a refund and checked my spam to find that they had replied earlier in the week to acknowledge my email. HOWEVER, I shouldn't have had to take the measures of emailing them or posting this review to receive a refund. I should have received my item when it was due to be delivered. And the refund should have been issued after my initial email which asked for a refund. This has only happened after I posted a negative review.

I have placed an order 22/10/21 due with 2-7 day delivery, been on LBD site to login to my account, cant do that, its saying not the right password, been on to their help@ and had a bounce back, tried to fill in their contact form and that wont go through, telephone number not in use. Tried to go on to their site through Trustpilot, then click on to their email Help@ still bouncing back. Extremely poor service and now I think I have lost my £95.00 and the dress. Such poor service

Hi Kate, our help email is hello@littleblackdress.co.uk maybe you're emailing the wrong address? Please send your order number and we can look into this for you, our wait times are around 2-4 hours but we are replying to all our customers.
We do say a 2-7 working day delivery promise, but we are experiencing slower production and deliveries causing small delays.
Thanks for your patience,

Cheap and Nasty

I purchased 2 dresses and a black coat with faux leather trim.
The dresses look fantastic on the perfectly selected models on the website and with great phototherapy, but in reality the dresses are cheap and nasty.
The pleather trim on the coat is a total plastic eye sore.
Items arrived pass the 7 days delivery and on separate days.
Plus if you ordering multiple items and want to return, be aware returns are not free.
Then there is the unrealistic 7 days return, which were retuned back to me because I missed the cut off, even thought my items arrived late.
If you are looking for a poor online shopping experience and a cheap and nasty look, this is the website for you.

Hi Claudette, what's your order number and we can look into this for you? Our returns are 14 days? Not sure where you got 7 days from as this is untrue. We send on a tracked delivery service and the return period starts once your items are signed for as delivered. We also have a tracked returns service, again tracking the delivery date. But happy to look into your case for you.
In terms of quality, we are a premium marketplace and we can speak with the brand regarding your feedback.
In terms of shipments arriving separately, like many marketplaces our brands ship from different warehouses and this is now usual practice for items to arrive in separate shipments.
Costs of return are clearly displayed on all orders and the website - £4 for using The Royal Mail service. As you know, the cost of fuel and logistics is not free.

Look forward to hearing from you, email our customer team stating your order number on hello@littleblackdress.co.uk

Thanks,
Little Black Dress

Great service. Beautiful dress.

I ordered a dress and unfortunately there was no option for next day delivery and it stated 2-7 working days. As I really needed the dress for an upcoming cruise, I contacted LBD orders and Gayle sent me a lovely reply to say she had contacted the brand direct and requested a fast delivery for me. I’m delighted to say it arrived the very next day! Amazing service, great customer service and lovely friendly communication from Gayle. And the dress is just beautiful! I was a bit dubious having never heard of the company before but they are Highly recommended! ☺️

I ordered a dress was too long and did not fit properly. I paid to return the item, registered! I never received my refund! I've emailed several times, attaching proof that it arrived to them, and they have chosen to ignore me! The contact number has been disconnected. I need to add to this...following on from their reply they followed up with threatening emails stating the business had closed down and was being run by another business. The thing is.. I have a business and know how these things work. I wish I could snapshot and add the emails. I still received no refund despite showing proof.

Hi A Joy, have you been emailing hello@littleblackdress.co.uk
Reply with your order number and we will get in touch with you - currently we have a wait time of 1 hour, so unsure who you have been reaching out to?
We ceased our call line during COVID and this has been explained on our website - however if you Google us, this telephone number still shows which is misleading for our customers. We have asked Google to remove it numerous times without action.
Happy to help further A Joy, we will need to see proof of postage which includes a tracking number if you haven't used our own Royal Mail tracked returns service.
Thanks,

Annie, Unfortunately, your placed an order and left the wrong email address hindering our communications with you. We can see the Royal Mail attempted to deliver your parcel three times and asked for you to make a collection of the item which you failed to do. The £4 charged is to cover this extra return to sender fee (both costs of environmental and human endeavor) and is part of our T&C's.

When customers place orders, we also have rights and expect customers to collect their items should a request be made following missed delivery.

Hope this helps your understanding.

Have proof of items returned.

I ordered 5 dresses. I was contacted because one couldn't be sent and they refunded that and sent me 4 dresses.
Several problems occurred, firstly the dresses were very small for the quoted size and so all 4 had to be sent back.
One of the 4 was delivered with a ripped seam on the zip, so I made this clear on the returns form when sent back.
I carefully returned all 4 and they told me that they had only received three. (One of the three refunded was the broken one - even though they said they had refunded it as "a sign of good nature").
The paperwork returned clearly showed that all 4 had been returned.
I cannot prove that all 4 were returned because my confirmation from the post office only tracks the parcel, it does not have weight.
So now I am out of pocket with no dress. I will not use this company again.

Thank you for your response. All I can say is that 4 dresses were in the bag when it was passed to the post office to return to you. The fact that you have logged 3 dresses as returned should not be my issue, but by refunding only three, you have made it so. Please advise how I could PROVE that 4 were in the bag.
