Appalling customer service
I ordered a top that I needed for a particular event. It arrived with a security tag still attached, therefore unwearable. Knowing I wouldn't have time to exchange it before I need to wear it and not being able to get to a shop, I contacted Customer Service, asking whether they could send a replacement straightaway and I would start the return process.
After a protracted email exchange, they maintain they can't do anything until they receive the return, which means I will have to order a replacement, at greater cost as I need to pay for next day delivery, and then wait however long it takes to get my return refund - which, from the other reviews on here, sounds as if it might be a long time.
Over the last few years, I've had a couple of other experiences where online purchases arrive damaged or faulty. It happens. Every other time though, the brand in question has been at pains to ensure a replacement was dispatched before anything else. I love Whistles' products but I'm going to avoid them in the future or, if I really want to buy from them, shop via a third party store.
