Beautiful craftsmanship and choice of jewellery, lots of offers too. Shipton is a good company to deal with. One of my orders was lost in transit and a further order was sent to replace it.

Waited for 20 min for customer service…

Waited for 20 min for customer service to answer, waste of time I wanted to know how long the droplets were on the necklace as it gives you no idea in the catalogue. It makes you wonder are they WFH.

We’re very sorry to hear about the delay in getting through to our team and that a size was missing from our catalogue description. We’ve been exceptionally busy recently, but please rest assured our customer service team works from our head office and our UK-based call center, not from home.

In future, you’re very welcome to send any queries directly to customercare@shiptonia.co.uk and our team will be happy to help. If you would like to send us an email with the product in question - we will ensure your question is answered. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found our website easy to use, but we’re sorry the free gift wasn’t the colour you expected. We didn’t want to delay your order, so we sent an alternative colour as the one shown is now due back in stock in January. We appreciate your understanding and will pass your comments to the team to make this clearer in future.

Great service as always

Great service as always. My necklace came well packaged and is lovely. It is much bigger than expected and quite striking design. It is a gift and I am sure the recipient will love it. The free jewellery box is very attractive too but not worth the amount it says in the book/online.

Shiptons are quality for goods, service and delivery

I have been ordering from Shiptons for many years, and so too has my daughter. They items are really lovely and well made, the service on ordering and delivery is excellent. The staff in all departments are friendly, polite and knowledgeable. If refunds are required they are just as good. I would recommend Shiptons as second to none.
