“WORSE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE”

stefania m.
9/11/24

This has been the worst customer service experience I've ever had. I purchased a pair of glasses and had expensive lenses (worth €500) fitted. Shortly after, the arm of the glasses broke due to a manufacturing defect. Despite admitting the defect, Farfetch refused to reimburse me. They demanded that I return the glasses, even though I explained that I had spent €500 on custom lenses. The representative told me I wouldn't get a refund unless I returned the glasses and that my issue didn't matter because it was 'against their policy.' I am now facing a €900 loss (€500 for the lenses + €400 for the glasses). Their service is absolutely unacceptable.

Farfetch is by far the worst e-boutique I had encountered.

-First they over priced their item, like for ex. They sell Saint Laurent items more expensive the Saintlaurent.com and on the top of that you have to pay shipping costs. Since when a resellers is more expensive than the official seller?
-Second, they offer you discount/free shipping promo codes that are not valid.
-Third, when you enquire them for their bad performance they come up with silly excuses.

In summary they are Mr. Porter/luisaviaroma- wanna be!

Don't bother visiting the site…just buy with professionals (Mr. Porter, luisaviaroma or the official e-boutiques of you brand of choice)

Ordered Chinti and parker sweater... hood tore off as was putting it on for the first time. Cannot get anyone to return calls, emails to rectify the situation. They keep putting me off saying they need to "reach out" to their partner. The absolute worst service ever. It's been over a week now and still nothing. Will NEVER order with this company again

I literally do not know why there are so many bad reviews! Me and my family have been shopping on Farfetch.com for 3 years now and only had the most positive experiences Items were received quickly, packaged beautifully and we love the free shipping and returns (especially the free DHL pickup!) so its super convenient if something doesn't work for you. Their pricing is amazing and the selection is hard to compete with! I never shop in my local department stores anymore (I live near NYC) and literally only shop Farfetch. I definitely can vouch for their amazing service and 100% customer satisfaction and I shop ALOT. And I only buy very high designer items.

Customer service is non-existing. You have to hold on the phone for over an hour every time you call. And when they answer, they have no clue of what's going on. Further more they LIE that the order is sent out, but when confronted about tracking #, they keep lying that it will be provided within 24 hours via email. Bull$#*!ers, that's what they are. Also, couple times right after (next day) i purchased item, it goes on sale further, and when i called to ask for adjustment, they flatly refused it. Order is not even sent out, but they still refuse to issue adjustment. Items are authentic, but the way they conduct business is horrible. Proceed at your own risk.

The only reason why I gave four stars was because in the picture the color of the cap looked a different nicer brighter red but when I received it, the color is burgundy not what I expected. But over all Good experience

I was pretty nervous at first after seeing some of the other reviews. I placed my order just three days ago and the package arrived today. I purchased a jacket that I could not find anywhere in the us and for about $300 less (even including duties/shipping). I called their customer service before placing my order to make sure there would be no additional charges. My item arrived neatly packaged and it perfect condition. I was happy with the fit so I did not have to return it. The boutique I ordered from is Spazio Pritelli in Italy.

Tip for consumers:
Definitely do research on the boutique you are purchasing from and the item to avoid returns.

I have purchased a couple of times with Farfetch and been happy however there was nothing wrong with these purchases. My last 2 purchases have included a faulty item and a non delivery of order. They have completely unhelpful and washed their hands with both issues offering no real reason behind it. I will never order form this company again. I have lost over £1000 now in puchases that have either not been received or not fit to wear. Disgusting. I feel so upset and let down. Please do not make the same mistake.

I have tried to contact Farfetch several times from Australia and the phone number continually rings out with no answer despite the website saying they are available to answer 9am - 6pm. This smells of a very dodgy website. Do not purchase

I sent back a return with dhl personally in Ontario, California and they claimed they never received it so did not refund my money.

Please do yourself a favor and do not order from this website! They are greedy and shady, they just take your money and claim they didn't receive item when it was shipped with their return label.

Do not purchase from this website, you have been warned. There are so many other legit websites that are better!

Don't make the same mistake that I did, they claimed I never returned item and stole my money! Beware!

Tip for consumers:
Do not order there are so many other legit websites than this! They stole my money and claimed I never sent item back even though I used their return shipping label with DHL.

Terrible customer service.
An item has no arrived.
Confirmed by DHL as lost- never left warehouse to be delivered.
Farfetch refuse to refund me the money- asked me to claim via DHL and DHL confirm that farfetch need to place the claim through as they are the client (which makes sense to me)
I am from Australia- is there a fair trade ombudsman that i can contact- i am seeking legal advice based on this.
However lawyers are looking into a ombudsman first.
If anyone can send me any help that would be much appreciated. Please email me at *******@hotmail.com.
Thank you again

Don't buy from this company. Refused to pay a legit refund because their courier lost a package. They picked up all 3 from my house and then only refunded two, saying that the courier doesn't remember taking the 3rd. Case closed. Won't take responsibility and refusing to release any details of the ‘investigation' and saying that unless I have surveillance footage that they side with the courier despite it being 100% untrue. Customer service admits that really they know it's their fault but won't return the money nonetheless. Total scammers. Outnet is a way better company all around with better products and amazing customer service.

That they have terrible customer service

I was led to this site a few times from other sites like Pinterest or Shopstyle, but every single time I found items there for up to 50% higher prices than on other sites. For example, some DVF bags that were totally overpriced, and today a Tory Burch tunic that is supposedly on sale, but with a reduced price above the original sales price on toryburch.com. They might have some items that you won't find elsewhere, but I can only recommend to do proper price research before buying.

Hi Manuela, the prices displayed on Farfetch are defined by the worldwide boutiques we partner with. We have 280 boutiques around the globe that sell their hand-picked fashion edit on Farfetch and we have no influence on their pricing decisions. These boutiques price their items according to recommendations from the brands they work with as well as based on the location of their boutique. There are also other factors such as DDP that effect the prices displayed on Farfetch. You can read more information on this here > http://www.farfetch.com/pag91.aspx#Shipping1 Thanks, Farfetch.

I got a Versace ring from Farfetch for my birthday. A year later it's broken half and I got no replacement or solution for this problem. Farfetch refused to replace it or to repair it when it's clearly poor product quality.
Would not recommend anyone to get your accessories from Farfetch.

Tip for consumers:
Do not recommend to use this online store, as I got a bad quality product and no refund or replacement.

So I was a bit hesitant about Farfetch and in particular their partner boutique Vitkac. I read a few reviews about the poor experiences with Vitkac and was worried my order would be in danger.

However, Vitkac delivered my item just fine and quite swiftly. I placed my order on a Thursday evening and received my item Monday afternoon. The shoe was in brand new condition and packaged well enough. The shoe box had some marks and stains on it but that's irrelevant.

The shoe I purchased was $295 after discount. It goes for $475 full retail price at Burberry. I think I got an amazing deal and you can't find a better deal than that anywhere else --- even eBay.

Time to save up some money for some future orders.:)

+1 to Farfetch, Italist, Raffaello Network and all the similar sites out there

I made the order, after that I've changed my mind regarding an item that I've purchased. I've contacted the support team via email THREE different times before the order was shipped asking them to specifically cancel the item, yet I get replies but no reply regarding my request! Ive told them that its better to cancel now rather that returning it once it arrives, yet still no answer. To say the least, I was expecting a better service and more professionalism.
Thanks,
Salman.

Before I get refund, I contact the credit card company directly to dispute. From this experience I do realize that Farfetch is the company I cannot wait for them to act. I have been waiting for at least 10 days, consistently checking the order status and calling customer service, in the end they ask me to cancel the order and send me an email saying that product is out of stock. But the product is still available online with its original price. I really don't want to know and don't want to dig into why this was happening. The only thing I could do is to get away from this website. End of the story.

Never go with Farfetch!

I recently placed two orders in Farfetch, one pair of shoes they give the wrong color. The other bag they haven't shipped for a week, then I called the customer service, they said they were pushing the boutique on a daily basis. Finally I cancelled the order, they sent me an email saying it's out of stock, but I could still see the product online with original price. I bought this one on sale, I believe they just want to sell it to people who're willing to buy that at original price. Who does business like this? What a shame...

Watch out for these scammers!

After online shopping for over 20 years I never experienced such a bad after sale service!

No service after sale at all!
I returned my package with the DHL service and it seems somehow the package went missing!
I have proof of return, but Farfetch put practically NONE of effort to solve this case. Very de-shaming company where they put everything but the customer first! I barely get respons of them. While its absolutely their responsibility to contact the delivery service to find out what happend.
I still did not received any refund so far ( €137)
If they wont take their responsibility soon, I will definitely take further steps myself to solve this case!

Update: after more then a month of "investigating" I did get my refund. Took a long time but after all the case is solved..

Unfortunately we live in a world where people would are first to complain rather than give praise. I have placed a few orders with Farfetch and never had any real issues.

I wanted a pair of jeans I saw at Saks, but unfortunately no longer stock my size. Found them on Farfetch for 30% less than Saks and they arrived within six days. Out of the few orders I have placed, this was the only one I called customer service for and had no wait time. I saw my card was charged, but never received tracking. Not blaming Farfetch. Maybe it was missed in my spam folder. Who knows. Any case the woman looked up my order, got my tracking and waited on the phone to insure I received the email with the info.

Any case they arrived today. Exactly as described, well professionally packed and once again a happy customer.
If it wasn't my impatience of wanting an item today. I would use Farfetch more often and save at the same time.
