Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 33 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers report significant issues with their orders, including items not being received, long delays, and a complete lack of communication regarding delivery status. People frequently mention that their attempts to contact the company via email or phone are met with no response, leading to frustration and a feeling of being ignored. Reviewers also highlight problems with the delivery service, noting that promised delivery times are often not met and updates are scarce. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with their product, receiving items as promised and beautifully packaged, and appreciated the company's helpfulness in securing hard-to-find items.

This company said a George Jensen kettle was in stock with delivery in 2 weeks and it arrived 2 months and 1 week later after repeated chasing. Emails took quite a while to answer.

Great Customer Service

A couple of years ago, I purchased a couple of skull candle holders, when they arrived one of them had a small blemish, Panik said no problem, and they promptly changed it with no hassle, I’ve been buying from them ever since, great service, well done.

two-month-old Trouble with a lamp

If you're lucky enough to buy something they have in stock it's probably fine but if they have to order something for you it becomes a problem but for the buyer they keep extending the delivery time as if a standard lamp would be made especially for you. I do not recommend it, it's just trouble.

Panic…. Don’t panic, they can help…

I have used Panik for many years now and must say the service and quality of the products are excellent. The owner Paul is very very passionate about what he sells. He would not sell anything that is bad. I’ve also had the pleasure to meet Jilly who has handled many of my sales and the passion runs through to his team. If you see something you like. Don’t be afraid to ask. They are more than happy to help you.

Great Customer Service

I have dealt with Panik-Design over the last 10-12 years and have always received first class service. I recently purchased a Menu salt & pepper mill and was so delighted with it that I have now bought the same set for my son and daughter-in-law. Thanks for your great customer service.

Complaint rectified efficiently with apologies. I give ( stars for their helpfulness

Very disappointed. Ordered two George Jenson photo frames on June 3rd. Order no #PD4098 no sign of them. Finding it impossible to negotiate their website and find out what has happened. The frames were expensive.
Used Shop Pay. Their website is useless , it requires loading an app to track the package. Never had this problem before. Just want my purchase or a refund

Great site for designer bargains.

Excellent website, and very quick delivery. Item was on sale at a great price and exactly what I was looking for. I'd revisit again without hesitation.

Very poor customer service

I made an order over a month ago and still haven't received it. Have left messages on the phone and emailed and no response. I'd shop elsewhere in spite of the fact they have lovely items.

I have looked into your order and can see that we have now advised you on the status of your 2nd spoon. When you placed your order with us there were different delivery times for each spoon at point of order. We do apologise if this was not clear. We have taken your comments on board. Our customers feedback is important to us.

Poor delivery and very restrictive returns

Lead time on order said 3 weeks.
No response to email chasing. Order finally came after 4 weeks.

Turns out, it wasn't needed afterall, but their t's and c's are hidden. They only accept refunds if you return in 7 days, unlike most major retailers who offer a month. Usually like shopping with smaller independents, but will be going back to more trustworthy sites in the future.

Bad customer service

If there is a delay on an order you expect a company to update the customer about that delay and give options. That is not what this company does, this company doesn't send any update or apology. I sent several emails in where I kindly asked about the status myself, sadly without any response. I don't think that is customer friendly.
