The very best customer service on Earth, absolutely deserve 10 stars, this is one company that has it together, the customer service for any company is important because it is the 'face' of the company. I have used the site for some years and normally everything goes according to plan. Some time ago l encountered a problem that could have caused by anything but Holly and the team were on it within minutes and also messaged very often to ask about any change. I doubt there is any company that would do this, it means they care about the company and the users of their site, it also helps them keep their jobs unlike OLX that over the years has closed in almost all countries due to bad service. If you have a problem message Holly, she will help you l guarantee.

Not being able to log in as usual as i have done for many years i oersisted many times & contacted customer service, over about a month i had many replies from various persons !! all repeating the same instructions ???generally
eventually KATIE told me that due to security reasons preloved was blocking non UK contact ???
well done IT persons ????
Having now spent a lot of time on this & thinking that c/service could renew my listing, HOLLY came back to me to confirm this ! & done it , suggesting that when IT change their mind about non UK clients i would be informed ??? A very non professional approach by PRELOVED & a wasted 2x months for me ,
i joined Preloved many years ago as i live in France & had spoke to various clients her using the web site , so i thought i would try it , hoping to buy items from it ! But the delivery costs prohibited this ,
so now we shall see !! well Done KATIE & HOLLY ....
CLIENT...JEWELLS .

I have been a member on preloved site for a few years. I now find it a load of rubbish! Why all the unwanted ads popping up? I have now cancelled my membership. Not worth the trouble. Will stick to another online selling site which is very easy to use and NO ads.

Great customer service from Preloved

I have used Preloved for years to advertise the few pets I have bred, and this time I was confused by the new rulings surrounding dog microchipping, but it was explained really well by Katie in Customer Services, who, once I had changed the wording on my advert, posted it straight up. Excellent service, thank you.

Very good level of service offered by Katie.

Due to the number of characters in my advert title, I was not able to change the price of my items. Katie showed a very good level of customer service by changing these for me in short order.
