“Ade in the Women's lingerie department is simply excellent”

Patricia L.
12/3/23

I was lost from the moment I walked in really, but with the expert help of Ade I was soon on track and trying on a range of sports bras. This lady knows her stock inside out and when you explain the issues with certain bras, she's off to find you suitable options to try! What fantastic customer service. I went to Harrods because I know they've always had a good range of sports bra's, but the customer service provided by Ade just made the whole experience a complete pleasure - just what you want from a bit of retail therapy!

“Payment was made, product never received.”

Payment was made, and checked this fact with bank, that Harrods received money. While Harrods in numerous correspondence with me basically kept sending me one and only message « We dont have any information about you, or your order » No sense Customer service, that can do nothing. Or scammers. Never would think this could happen with such a well known organization. Be aware.

I love Hermes. I tried to order a bracelet for my wife online. It was only available in store; I tried contacting three different stores until I finally got through. A representative from the Royal Exchange branch sent me a payment link which expired before I could process the payment, I replied to the email requesting a second link; a representative began an email conversation and then abandoned it in the middle, ignoring repeated emails. I eventually managed to purchase from the Harrods branch; excellent service once I got through, but ridiculously difficult to get hold of. The bracelet arrived, gorgeous as expected, but too small for any adult to wear. I've spent two weeks trying to get hold of Hermes Harrods to return/exchange; I've spent dozens of HOURS on the phone and sent emails, but I've not been able to make any contact. This is really disappointing; considering the price they charge, you would expect decent service. I'm waiting to see how this continues; will update when I manage to get through to customer services or the department.

Do not buy on-line, I purchased a Cartier Love Ring and when it arrived the box was not fastened and the ring was loose in the packaging. The ring was too big so I phoned Harrods to book a collection straight away. When it arrived back it took a while before I heard anything so I gave Harrods a call. They informed me the ring had been sent to Cartier for an inspection. I waited a while longer to be told Cartier had spotted scratches on the ring and it was being returned to me without a refund. It arrived yesterday and I can't see any evidence of scratches, if there are any it would be because the ring was allowed to bounce around in the box. I am now stuck with a ring which is of no use and customer services who blame Cartier and refuse to help. What an appalling situation. But so typical of most reviews on here.

Tip for consumers:
Do not buy jewellery on line especially from Cartier because when you return the item Cartier do an inspection and tell you your item has scratches and refuse a refund. There are so many people this has happened to.

Utterly Disappointed with Harrods. Sales associates had no clues about the name of the colour, what's is racing green, royal blue, they just say this is green etc.
Harrods used to stock Garrard, I asked if they still do, the gentlemen replied 'Never Heard of It' they had this funny looking on each other, so unprofessional.
Perhaps. Will have to consider giving up on you!

Tip for consumers:
Experience yourself

I have received a Cartier love bracelet as a gift from my husband in late February which he purchased from Harrods online due to the lockdown. However I had a hand injury (broker wrist) that resulted in me wearing plaster cast from late January till late May not allowing me to try the bracelet on. Only when I tried it on early June when I realised that the wrong size was ordered. (Size 16 instead of size 17).
I returned the bracelet to Harrods expecting that they will take into account the exceptional circumstances of lockdown and personal injury. To my big disappointment, Harrods informed us that Cartier refuses to exchange the bracelet claiming that it got scratched despite the fact that I have never used it. I am then assuming that any scratches in the bracelet might have been either when the bracelet was delivered or when it was checked by Cartier/Harrods Customer service. This is a high value item costing more than *******£, however Cartier and Harrods are both careless about their loyal customers.

Tip for consumers:
Never use Harrods to purchase high value items.

Atrocious & Inexcusable levels of service! Normally I place an order via Fortnum and Mason for a special Christmas tea and biscuits treat to be sent to my Mother in New Zealand. I hasten to add I have never had a problem with F&M. This year I decided to try Harrods – What a mistake! The website is clunky and it turns out that they do not ship food to other countries. However you do not find this out until you're at the payment screen and then it is near impossible to go back and change the order. So I ended up just ordering a Harrods shopping bag to be sent - it wasn't until I completed the order I noticed that they had charged me over £30 for delivery. I thought about it for a minute, and within 30 minutes went back onto their website to cancel the order – there is no automatic cancel facility – you have send an email – this is what I did. The next day I get a mail saying it's too late the order has been sent and I can't cancel. They told me to have my mother refuse the delivery – now 2 things - my mother is 86 years old how will she know what package to refuse as 4 of her children live aboard and send her packages regularly and secondly at a cost of £30 delivery surely the cost to return the goods is more than they are worth considering the cost was £22. All in all don't shop here they are more attuned to the tourist market than suppling good customer services to those of us who live in the UK. Use Fortnum & Mason.

Tip for consumers:
Don't shop there

Awful customer service and experience from Harrods and Cartier. Ordered a ring from Cartier Harrods and it arrived loose In it's box tried it on and it wouldn't go over my knuckle. Put it back in box and reordered the next size up. I posted the ring back the next morning and after three weeks waited for a refund. Harrods then informed me that I would not be getting a refund as the ring was scratched. Anyone who has owned high ct polished gold knows as soon as you touch it it will have tiny surface scratches. If this is the case then you shouldn't except reruns and state this clearly. I now have a ring that is useless can't resize and Harrods are refusing to do anything. If this is how you treat people because you are a big company and you can get away with it then it is disgusting. A simple polish will remove any tiny marks but no one is willing to help or do anything to resolve this. Thank you Harrods and Cartier for looking after your customers in this way.

After a terrible encounter with another company (see reviews) I looked at Harrods for something a little special for some family members. I was very surprised that I could order a hamper, put whatever I wanted in it and have it delivered and it was cheaper than I had expected from Harrods! I ordered wine, cake, biscuits, jam etc and all came to less than £80. It was a first class service from beginning to end and will definitely be buying online from them again, especially at Christmas.

Love their brand offerings, especially their women's department. I can always find what I need at this store since they have almost everything in one store!

Sometimes I like to shop in a place where everything can be found, and Harrods is the store that I go to when I am in such a mood because it has pretty much everything a person could want! I love this store and shop here regularly.
