Three years ago I had no clue this company existed. A friend started talking about how great their products were. I decided to try one and bought a few more. Top notch quality, pricey though... Excellent products. However, I did have a problem with one product. I received it, I opened the box and I could not find the registration card (warranty). I called their customer care service and the girl's English was not that great. Well, it happens with most companies today. Then I was put on hold and I hated that. However, the next person was very professional and fixed the problem. The card arrived within a few days.
All in all, this customer care "problem" is nothing compared to the quality of their products. Nobody is perfect...
I have purchased other Lelo products before and not had the problems as I have with my most recent shipment. Defective out of the box. Customer service has chosen to avoid helping fix the problem or accept a return due to the "sensitive nature of the product". When I spend this much money, I expect a high end service experience. I'm disappointed
The customer service is absolutely terrible. This company takes your money and passes off inquiries to people who cannot and will not answer questions and provide assistance. Take your business elsewhere.
Hi Catherine,
Thank you for your honest review, I am truly sorry to hear about this.
LELO is doing everything we can to provide the most accurate and complete responses to our customer's inquiries. That said, can you please send us an email, explaining this in more detail as I would like to get to the bottom of this situation? My name is Jane, you can address your email to me.
All the best,
Jane@LELO
I know the situation is far from normal and I was not impatient while waiting for my product to arrive. However, it really took a long time. Even though the guys from LELO were very nice, the product should have arrived sooner. There is room for improvement.
I ordered a product and I was really looking forward to it. It did not arrive on time. I waited awhile. Nothing. OK, time to contact the customer service. Not so difficult, but it did take a few hours. I think that is OK. I told them that I had not received my product. They said they would look into it and get back to me. Well, it turned out that there were delivery problems in our area due to staff shortage. The product was actually very close to my home, sitting on the shelf for days. Anyway, it was fixed rather fast. Good job.
Lelo products are expensive and when they work they are fine, when they breakdown or you order through the Lelo website watch out.
We have had three of their products breakdown, when dealing with the returns, replacement and shipping problems it is not worth the hassle or the price.
They send these personal items bulk shipping style using UPS Mail Innovations and can take up to two weeks if your package is not lost.
Funny thing is Lelo provided a first class shipping label for the return which only took two days to reach the destination when shipped out on a Saturday.
You can not even properly track the shipment which in this case is very important. Makes no sense and is so disrespectful to all of their customers.
We have purchased items from other companies like Fun Factory and never had any problems or any need for returns. Lelo No Go No More!
Dear Gray,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
Whenever there's a delay with the shipping during these times, it's because of the additional health and safety measures that have to be implemented due to the current situation. You can always monitor the shipment with the tracking number provided in your order or return shipping label. If your device is defective, we will replace it free of charge and the warranty process is easy, manageable and effective. Kind regards, Diana@ LELO
Ordered gifts for my wife for our anniversary it has now been 3 weeks still no priduct. Stuck in limbo shipping and all anyone can say is be patient. Wait another week then we will maybe help. Never have i been told to wait after paying nearly 300$ will never purchase from them again. Theres so many other options thay are far better imo.
Dear Skylar,
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, couriers are experiencing delays due to a large number of orders during this promotional period and the additional health and safety measures (because of the current situation). Once orders leave our warehouse, we have little or no influence over the shipment and delivery process. Please stay in contact with our customer care team so that we can offer the best solution for you. Regards,
Diana@Team LELO
Goinng on Day 14 and my order is still "in transit" I really hate the fact that you buy an expensive product and Lelo chooses to ship it the cheapest way possible, UPS Mail Inovations. The sell a premium product why not ship it a premium way. Tbh I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more for regular ground shipping or even FedEx shipping. They don't give you any option.
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience.
I'm so sorry your delivery was taking a long time to reach you. Sadly, during this time there are delivery delays and general disruption to regular services globally and for this reason, we have made sure to include a notice at the checkout page that you may experience a delay with your order, for which we profusely apologize for.
I am afraid that we don't have options to expedite shipping for now and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. If there is anything that we can do to make this right, please don't hesitate to reach our LELO Customer Care directly.

When Lelo first launched, I thought we were going to be huge friends! High tech sex toys is right in my wheelhouse! But with having spent over $800 in 5 plus years, I'm continually let down. Why do I keep trying? I WANT to like this company. But the products fail. The company DOES NOT have an easy return policy. If it's past 12 months, and these products should last years, they bless you with a 40% discount for buying a new product. Seriously? Let's look at this:
1. Retailers buy from Lelo at a better discount than 40%!
2. This means Lelo is REWARDED for having a failed product by selling at better margins direct to consumer.
3. What would be the incentive for Lelo to improve quality control when they get a second sale on top of each original sale?
It's a brilliant strategy, and I'm sure the CEO is laughing all the way to the unemployment line. In the end, customers want quality. We are PAYING for quality! Not for a hassle and a replacement. I've noticed Lelo is loosing traction with retailers. When I've asked, I'm told it's due to the poor quality control. It's curious as to why they keep bringing new product to market, when they can't get the quality control - under control.
So no this is not a white glove high end experience. This is low quality products sold at a high price, where you are then interrogated as to if you dropped the toy, submerged it, looked at it wrong. If you survive the questioning, and don't give up on the correspondence back and forth, and you will pay to ship the product to them, they may grant you the right to spend directly with them, bypassing their retailer, and keeping the high margin sale for themself! Why the return? They know you have the product from the serial number. They know they fail. Most people won't go the extra step and ship a dirty toy to the manufacturer. It's gross, and humiliating. They know this, and use it to their advantage. Nice huh!
In contrast, I've got Hitachi Wanda that are 10 plus years old! I've had Doxy products fail, and had a replacement shipped to me same day I reported it! But not Lelo.
Classy outfit!
PS - I have voiced these concerns to Lelo on several occasions, and to date, no they have not made the situation right.
Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your experience!
Should you ever experience an issue with a device, we are always more than happy to process it within our warrranty, if it falls under the terms and confiditons, on which you can read more on our website, as we try to be as transparent with our customers as possible. Regarding the follow up questions you may be asked about the malfunction, exactly this step helps us greatly with the quality control, to collect the details on how the unit was used, so we can improve it going forward. Upon the return of the faulty unit, it is also tested in the most controlled conditions to take the quality control of our products onto a further step.
With that said, we hope that we will still be able to improve your overall impression and please note that we are always available for any questions or concerns you may have.
Kind regards,
Siv@ LELO
I love the fact that Lelo has a really good warranty, because their toys break down in less then 5 years, typically. But actually receiving the warranty is awful.
Everything is done through email, which takes the reps multiple days to respond. Very rarely do they answer the phone, and they've never returned my calls.
They give you the runaround when you submit a claim, ask many questions, then argue with you. Most companies take your word that the product is defective. After they received the product, it took over a week - multiple emails, calls, and reaching out on Instagram to get the discount code. Rep said he already sent it, and STILL didn't send it (via email, of course). All to find out I couldn't use the code because everything was on sale (can't be combined - which they knew).
The saga continued.
They charged my credit card for 2 items, refused to refund me. When the 2 products came in the mail, I reached out again. Took them over 2 days to send out a return label. Had to send proof it was unopened, etc. Took about a week to receive refund.
Obviously, they're ether understaffed, or unorganized.
Absolutely horrible experience that lasted over a month. 3 stars because I like the products.
Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for your honest feedback, and I truly apologize for any frustration our warranty process caused you.
We have checked your communication with our agents and are happy to see the issue was resolved in the end, and your warranty code was honored and you received your refund successfully.
I'm sorry for the delayed process, but as you ordered the Sila item twice and wanted to return the duplicate one, we unfortunately needed to check that the item was still unopened and unused, as we cannot accept opened or used returns for a refund, due to the intimate nature of our products.
As for our warranty process, our policy requires the returning of a faulty device so that we may test it to improve and better serve our customers, after which the tested item is properly disposed off in the most controlled conditions.
Once again, I am sorry about any complication with your warranty process or if the communication was prolonged due to the return of the extra item, but please know we are always determined to resolve your case as soon as possible and never leave any case unattended. That is why I am happy to see that both your warranty and return were already resolved completely.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Lilly@LELO
I bought my first LELO toy 3 years ago. I have liked there toys ever since. The quality is really good, they use silicone, which is very hygienic. I had one problem when I received the toy I had ordered but the color was wrong. Their customer care service took care of it and I did not have to wait long to get the color I wanted. So far so good...
I had a problem with my LELO charger. It just stopped working. I contacted their customer care service without much hope. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The product was only two months old and they offered to send me a new charger. It took me a few calls to get through, but that is fine. I am using my toy with the new charger.
A few months back I bought one of their products and there was something wrong with the battery. It really made me angry and I thought I had thrown away my money because customer service often means a lot of wasted time with few results. This time it was different. I did have to wait to get through, but the rest of the experience was good. I have a new product and I enjoy it.
I was looking forward to the product I had ordered. Two weeks passed, nada, zero. OK, I knew the circumstances were extraordinary so I waited. After almost 4 weeks I called their customer service and complained. I did not want my money back, I wanted the product. It turned out that the problem was with the local delivery company. LELO customer service were very fast and I got the product after a few days.
I ordered a product and it just went to somebody else. I waited for five days. I called their client service and asked what was going. They checked and apologised right away. I could not blame them, we are in a situation never seen before. They fixed the mistake and the product was in my hands 6 days later. The explanation was that the delivery service was a third party. I said I did not mind as long as got my product within a reasonable amount of time.
It was not a big deal, I had a few questions about the product I had just received. I wrote to the client service representative and got a reply in less than half an hour. She gave me the info I needed and her English was really good. It is becoming a rarity these days in some companies. Good job.
It's almost been a month since I ordered my Lelo. I understand that during the covid-19 that there will be delays but come on. At least that is what their customer support is saying. They use two different shippers and I only have a tracking # for only one of the shippers. Why is that? I suggest people not order anything from lelo unless you don't mind waiting a month or longer for something you paid for.
I ordered a product and it was delivered on time but... it was not the colour I had ordered. I really wanted that colour so I contacted their client service. They responded by e-mail after one day, good English (really rare in my experience). The product arrived as promised. Unnecessary mistake but it is OK.
I ordered a product and waited for two weeks. Nothing. I contacted LELO customer service and they said it should have arrived. I asked them to check again. Half an hour later they informed me that there was a misunderstanding with the local delivery company due to some Covid rules. 3 days later the product arrived.
I bought a product on their web site and then I waited for two weeks. I expected it to come within 7-10 days. Impatient as I was, I contacted them. I asked where my product was. They said they were having some problems because of the pandemic. Well, they should have sorted it out before so I said I wanted my product as soon as possible. OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but my money, my product. Just send it. Well, 5 days later, the product arrived. I heard that there were really some shipping delays in my area, but still... On the other hand, they were really professional and fixed it. I am happy with their reaction but not with the time it took to get the product. Even if it is not their fault, and it seems it was not, they need to fix it or inform people about delays.

Answer: 2-3 days. I bought on their web site. They contacted me after the weekend.
Answer: It did not take a long time. A few hours. I guess that is much better than when you contact some famous companies.
Answer: I like their products. They stand out, have interesting features.
Answer: Not a scam. Regular customer. No idea why anyone would think otherwise.
