Chums Opiniones 1081

I can only hope that folk read trust pilot ( and other platforms) BEFORE even thinking of wasting your hard earned money on this sham of a "company".
Their clientele are the older generation. My mother is 84 and my dad 88. Very old school, send cheques and write order forms to post. I'm sure alot of folk are still like this however, which is probably why chums is still trading. Expensive items and ridiculous postage charges. My parents aren't going to shop around.
I got involved when my mother had ordered a duvet. Nearly 2 weeks later-it arrived and they sent the wrong size ( ordered a super king, received a double - which was only found out, upon measuring it as there was no tags on it!) it was a cheap, nasty product. She asked me to organise to send it back. My mother ( as mentioned is 84 and housebound ) to get it back to them, she would have had to walk to an evri shop ( 1mile away ) carrying a bundled duvet! No collections were offered despite it being chums' fault. I called them and the office was closed around 2pm. The next day, I called again... I was on hold for around 30minutes. The call handler assured me everything would be refunded as we couldn't wait another 2 weeks for another duvet to arrive!! I asked if her postage would be refunded ( £5.95 ) as this was an issue with chums, not my mother so its on them! Eventually, they agreed. I took it for her to the evri shop.
The cheque arrived around a month later. Minus the delivery.
I called and again, on hold, or closed so I resorted to emailing. Around a week later I got a reply. Aparently the cheque was sent on 22nd October. It never arrived. I emailed again asking them to reissue it as clearly they can see it had not been cashed ( if indeed it ever existed )
Here we are- 17th January 2026 and my mother has never had her £5.95 refund for an issue that was their error. Times my mother has said " just leave it " but I'm disgusted with this sham of a company and it riles me just howmany other elderly folk " just leave it " because they wear you down. This is months worth of chasing to get absolutely nowhere.
Despicable customer service and whomever few staff they have, really should have a word with themselves about their morales.

I ordered an item for my dad's 84th birthday on the 8th of December. His birthday is the 15th. The item did not arrive. I thought it might just arrive in time for xmas but no. After Xmas it still hadn't arrived so I sent an email to complain. It was ignored. I sent a second email chasing it up. I heard no reply but then out of the blue, the package arrived. On the 13th of Jan! So more than a month late. No apology or explanation. I am the Consumer Affairs Correspondent of The Times and I recommend you avoid this retailer.

Order has never arrived. Company don't respond to emails. Trying to get a refund but nothing yet. Don't use this company!

Lord only knows how this company remains in business - might it just be a front for something? On a previous occasion I was charged for delivery although the order was in three figures. I put this down to possible carelessness on my part for not ticking a box or something, so on this occasion I made absolutely certain that my order qualified for free delivery. Tough mate, you WILL pay £7.95 so I lost out again. Three emails asking for £7.95 credit went unanswered of course, and they even have the nerve to charge for telephoning them! All their catalogues will henceforth be annotated "Unsolicited junk mail, please return to sender", and posted unopened.

customer services are liars saying goods have been dispatched only to find out 5days later they had not been dispatched did not want to cancel order or give refund, i was supposed to wait for them to deliver and then do a return still waiting to see what they are going to do

ordered new pair of trousers from Farah through Chums.....Farah at one time were of good quality. What I have received considering they were £60:00 are the thinnest cheapest rubbish ever seen. The delivery was (even though I understand it was Christmas) a complete shambles. The other item, the new belt was the wrong colour. I had informed them by email I wanted brown and not black twice. Received no reply and no contact from start to finish. This company should be avoided at all costs. Quite useless in all aspects and areas.

Promised free delivery if I spent mor than £60. I spoke to someone called Page and she insisted that the free delivery would be taken off at the last payment stage.
NOT SO! nothing happened. I inserted the code but nothing happened and so spent £9.45 on a next day delivery. Page insisted that the delivery cost had been taken off but it was clear from the order I had been sent that this had not been done. However she insisted that it had been taken off but when i asked her for the numbers shown on the order she then admitted that she could not see them. And so she was obviously wrong when she told me that the delivery was free. She then said that she had to speak to her manager and would ring me back. The phone has rung with her number but no one spoke and the phone went dead.
These are obviously not the sort of suppliers who are interested in providing good customer service to get sales. This is borne out by the Trustpilot reviews as 81% give Chums a 1 star rating.
I have been asked for further information before they will give me a refund. This is it:-
I cancelled the order on 5 January 2026
due to this confusion over free delivery and so the order never left the Chums depot. Yet my Chums account does not register this. Despite that Chums are refusing to refund me the £95 even though it is now the 15 January 2026 i.e. 10 days delay!! Hardly good customer service. I do quite a bit of on line buying and no other on line company I have used has ever had this sort of delay.
Even the email requesting more information does not have a name of a Chums employee.
When you ring up the Chums employee asks for your account number and yet on your accounts page there is no customer accounts number.
So please refund me my £95 like any other responsible online company.

Do not touch this company with a ten foot barge-pole. They are exploiting the older generation with their poor quality clothing. I ordered three pairs of trousers. One item arrived as a top, and one of the pairs of trousers clearly had different length legs. The quality of all the items was poor. Their phone-line is 13p per minute. Disgusting for any slightly vulnerable customers which clearly is their target audience. Nothing Chummy about Chums!

E-mailed twice about missing order - no response. Phoned- told to wait. Waited a week phoned back , twice. Second call told order was going through as I spoke. It didn't arrive. Phoned again - it had not been put through! I'm told it is now being sent- we'll see. Abysmal customer service.

Despite entering the correct code when ordering for free delivery and spending over £60 to qualify. We were charged for delivery.
Have sent TWO emails to ask for a refund, there has been no reply.
Disgraceful customer service to ignore our emails.
We will never order from them again.

Don't even deserve a star. My mum has used them twice. Both times never got the product she order but has been charged. No communications no refund. I was angry my mum used them a second time. But I am more angry with this company. Just don't use this company!

LAST TIME I GAVE A GOOD REVIEW ON THEIR TROUSERS BUT THIS TIME I CANNOT. I ORDERED 3 JACKETS FIST A BLACK AND A SILVER JACKET THE BLACK WAS NOT TO BAD AND DID NOT SHOW THE CREASES BUT THE SILVER ONE WAS SO BADLY CREASED I HAVE HAD TO PUT INTO THE CLEANERS TO BE PRESSED A BEIGE ONE CAME THIS MORNING AND IT IS SO BADLY CREASED I AM SENDING BACK I AM VERY DISAPOINTED WITH THE POOR PACKING SO WILL NOT BE ORDERING AGAIN

Ordered item for Christmas, arrived promptly but completely wrong item, rang them and lovely lady knew exactly what I’d ordered and said would sort, returned item replaced with exactly the same wrong item. Sent back for refund and I’m still waiting despite the promise on website!

Avoid at all cost my wife ordered a cardigan for her mum's 94th birthday on 5th December didn't arrive for her birthday date now 19th December after so many emails to the worst delivery company in the UK EVRI so if they use this company I certainly will not be ordering again from chums.
They do not respond to emails you send for up to a week if you call them they charge you per minute to speak to someone. Once again do not use. I have had to arrange a charge back from my bank and my wife had to go last minute into Glasgow to search for a similar cardigan that should have arrived about a fortnight ago.
Please beware if you ever decide to order from this company I just wish I had checked trust pilot before I ordered from them after having seen the very poor ratings

I placed an order which was due to be delivered by Evri. It never arrived despite many emails from Evri to say it was on its way. I rang Chums customer service and they said they would chase Evri and I should hear in 8 to 10 hours. Nothing. I rang again and requested a refund. Ok, this will be with you in 5 to 7 working days. Again, nothing. I eventually opened a case with PayPal and the money was refunded in just over an hour. Seems strange that I am ignored but PayPal can get a quick result.
No more buying from Chums by me.

Placed order in September 25, nothing happened or delivered.
Chumms cash my cheque Oct, still nothing, rung customer service on 19th November promised a cheque will be sent back to me, again nothing, rung 16 Dec still no cheque...quote we will send you a cheque!!! Very poor customer service and I will not be using this company again.

Terrible company to deal with if something goes wrong. I ordered 2 pairs of cargo trousers, albeit at different times. For one reason or another I placed them in my wardrobe and didn't use either of them for a few months. Then wearing them and washing them for the first time strictly to the washing instructions on the garments, they shrunk and are now unwearable and destined to the charity shop. Contacting them was a total waste of time with them just quoting the 30 day return policy. They have a couldn't care less attitude offering no leeway in solving my problem, not even discount on further orders. They don't deserve to be in business.

Appalling. See other reviews, breach GDPR and just send you details to others, send you other peoples packages, refuse to engage, do not answer the phones, do refund etc etc. Do not use!!!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!
What a shambles! Ordered a number of items, apparently it takes 2 days from order on line for the order to be updated on their system! But it’s ok because they have your money already! If you email/you have to slow 5 working days for them to get back to you! Day 6 no contact. Phone costs 13p per minute! I was in a que for 14 mins! The estimated wait time varied between 10 and 5 mins up and down. The operator could not give me any update on my order and when to expect it, so I canceled my order. Hopefully will get my money back at least! Wish I’d read these reviews first. Now back to sourcing presents from another supplier! You have been warned!

I ordered 2 pairs of men’s trousers for a special occasion. These didn’t arrive on time and whe the parcel eventually came it contained 2 pairs of shoes with a purchase note for an address in Wales. I’m in Scotland!! Unable to contact them via phone. Email saying it can take up to 10 working days to process a refund and to uplift the wrong order. Dreadful customer service.
