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

Is this company still operating

Is this company still operating. I’ve e mailed them, but haven’t received a reply. The telephone number 0161 277 7046 says it’s out of service. Is there another telephone number for them.

Thank you Little Black Dress for your prompt response. I have now forwarded my e mail to the address you suggest and hope to receive a reply soon.

Mrs Powell, A
We are currently answering our emails on a live basis. We can see you are not a customer and have not placed an order with us.

We have since been in touch with you and have explained how an online company works. We are still operating in the UK - we no longer run a live call centre service but we are looking to re-create this as we move away from COVID restrictions.

Reviews like this are highly damaging and people in the UK should try to support their small businesses better through these times of hardship.

What's your order number please and we can look into this international order for you. We do say a 10 day delivery time across Europe at the moment due to BREXIT delays. But please email us at hello@littleblackdress.co.uk
We are answering our emails within the hour at the moment.
Thanks,

Avoid at all cost

I ordered a dress, which when it arrived is lovely and well made, unfortunately it was on the small side. I sent it back and then I heard nothing from them, so I emailed to see if they had received the dress and, yes, they had, but they then explained there was a mark on the dress (which was not there when I sent the dress back)and that I would not be receiving my refund and the dress was returned to me. What good is a dress to me that’s to small. I have emailed the complaints department and received nothing back. Do not purchase from this company!!!

Hi Lucy, Unfortunately, items returned with damage marks are refused. You will find this is a general rule for all retailers. If it was refused because it was marked, then this will make the item unsellable and is against our T&C's you agreed on purchasing the item.
Items are approved when they are returned within the 14 days, are unworn with all tags and undamaged.

Payed but no items

In 15/08/2021 I order 2 items and I was charged strait away. I understood that in 7 days I will get my items but today (third day) I was trying to track my orders and their website is not working. Interesting!!!

Hi Samira, as you say, we always do say that delivery within 2 to 7 days and this is only your 3rd day. The website infrastructure is currently being updated and the site is 'offline' as a consequence (it has been offline for 3 hours). It will be back up shortly. Please email hello@littleblackdress.co.uk with your order number and our customer team will be happy to help. Please can you remove your 1 star review as we believe that the service is as per the terms and conditions. Thank you in advance. Team LBD

Perfect experience! I am in love!

What an incredible experience!!! I found the dress of my dreams for my engagement party but I was worried the dress wouldn’t arrive on time. Lizzie from the customer service team contacted the brand itself to get an estimate on when it would arrive (keep in mind I am in Jordan in the Middle East), and it came only after 5 days!!! The dress came packaged so neatly and the dress was in perfect condition! I am overjoyed! I now know where I’ll be purchasing the rest of my dresses from! Thank you so much!

I rarely write feedback…however this…

I rarely write feedback…however this company certainly deserves it.
I must be the worst customer ever 😂
I recently ordered a maxi dress (having never ordered from this company before) and because it was an expensive item I was naturally apprehensive. Like - “would it arrive on time, would it be ok would there be any issues if the dress was unsuitable etc etc”
From the very beginning all communication from Lizzie @ HO was 1st class and never once did she not answer my queries within a short time frame.
Given such excellent service it alleviated all my silly fears
& made me feel happy & confident in using LBD.
I would highly recommend this company above and beyond & I will certainly be using them again without question!!!!
Special thanks to you Lizzie (customer service team)…. you were awesome by the way 👏🏻 & made me have a good experience

No Complaints Here…….

Great service! Ordered my dress on Wednesday and it’s been delivered today(Saturday) very well packaged and received in great condition. I ordered a uk size 8 which I was worried might be too small as I’m an 8 top half but 10 lower half but it’s a very generous size and fits perfectly! I can’t wait to wear it in a few weeks! 5* from me guys! Thank you x

If there was an option to give 0 stars…

If there was an option to give 0 stars i would. The customer services team never reply via email and the customer service number is a dead line. This seems to be a very bogus website and would advise others to not shop here. I ordered a dress for a wedding, emailed to see if i could request earlier shipment, only to then be told 2 days later the item they had taken my payment for was not coming at all as it was out of stock! Quite simply a ‘sorry’ Does not cut it when i now have to pay £300 elsewhere whilst still waiting for my refund from yourselves! Awful experience shopping here first and last time for sure!

Ordered a medium and got a small

I ordered a dress in a medium ( order number: 2300107933) and received a small instead, which doesn’t fit. I emailed the company with no response from them after a week. The dress was intended for a wedding this weekend but looks like I’ll be forced to purchase another dress from a store instead. I don’t think Little black dress would be getting as many complaints if they 1) provided better customer service contact details 2) actually respond to their emails. Now I have a dress that’s too small and don’t know what to do with it? Like how do I return? I do I get a refund?

No refund recived

I ordered a dress wich its seems its nit in the stock anymore and now no one its replying me back for the refund of 699 £.
What kind a shop are you? Its not my fault that you dont check if a dress its available or not and you should refund me right away when you find out the dress its out of stock
I want someone to answear my email and give me back my refund

Still not recieved my order 2300107015

Still not recieved my order 2300107015
Was promised it would be with me 16th June.. today.. as yet no package has arrived.
I need it by the 19th June, as stated it is for a wedding, you did not inform me the size was out of stock, you sending different size as sizes small, should this have not been sent next day delivery because of this? I’m so very very upset that this has not been dealt with like it should have been. My brothers wedding is a very special day having been postponed the last 2 years due to COVID.

I cannot thank Little Black Dress…

Fantastic!!!!
I cannot thank Little Black Dress enough for nothing short of excellent customer service. Gayle and Lizzie were fantastic and provided excellent customer service. They went out of their way to help me from point of order, and then beyond. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
They did everything they could to get my delivery to me ASAP, and it arrived as promised. Thank you so much Little Black Dress

Disappointed

I have used this company twice , bad experience both times, long delay on first order , second time of ordering 2 out of my 3 items were cancelled as they didn’t have then, 10 days after receiving an email to say the 3rd item had been dispatched I chased it up , eventually got a response after I’d sent a couple of emails informing me that the 3rd item would not be available either !

Total waste of time ...my advice is to avoid, there’s much better companies out there

We hope you do return to us and let us prove ourselves.
