Excellent service! Thank you very to everyone with whom we got in contact to place our purchase order. The customer service was highly professional and resolved all the issues we had and we received our clutch we ordered by Alexander McQueen

Top Critical Review

“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.

This past Friday I looked at the site and saw that there was a 30% discount on items that were for sale. I woke up early Saturday morning and tried to buy the item and received a error message that it was a part of the extra 30% discount. I called Farfetch and they said the promotion had ended. I was quite surprised because that morning until today (3 days latter) google still says, "Farfetch.com | Get Extra 30% off Sale Items. | Shop the Latest Collection." I let Farfetch know that this amounted to a bait and switch scam. The first customer service person I spoke with was extremely rude. The second said she would a manager contact me. I never heard from anyone. At this point, I will longer do business to Farfetch and ask that you don't too. EK

Ordered a pair of marc jacobs sneakers for a birthday present for girlfriend and after 10 days they still haven't dispatched them. Unreliable in the extreme and i'm starting to think it's a scam site. Do not shop here!

First of all, Farfetch faked the advertisement. Sent me something was not match its web description. Shown it white buckle belts and sent me completely a different thing. After i contacted them, they told me to do the return to schedule a pick up, which the pick up could only be scheduled on weekdays. Then i left the package in the morning at 9am for their picking up. They came late at the last mins at 6pm and found no package but didn't tell me until i asked them today. They said it lost and they don't have any responsibility. What a scammer

The absolute WORST on line shopping experience i have ever had. DITTO on all previous comments. I ordered a pair of shoes coming from LA to SF - no too far. These beautiful wooden platforms arrived wrapped in tissue and thrown into a soft pack (no box). When they arrived to me the wood was scratched and they looked as if they had been previously worn. No packing slip - no receipt - nothing enclosed just the shoes taped in a plastic shipping sack. Customer service did answer that they did not have another pair in my sized and offered me instructions on how to return for a refund but turns out that I am responsible to pay the return shipping. I am a seasoned on-line luxury customer and I will NEVER use this site again. AVOID or beware! Based on the other reviews + my experience... this almost feels fraudulent to me.

I love Farfetch! They have all my favourite brands. Customer service is excellent. I have only returned goods once and it was so easy. During these difficult times it is so nice to still be able to buy what you love - without having to travel. Postage is very fast. I like it when the original packaging is included and sometimes a postcard as well. The loyalty system is also fantastic. I just received my parcel today and have already had compliments about my new jacket :) C. R.

Tip for consumers:
I tend to buy brands I know and items similar to those I have bought before, that way fit is less of an issue. When it is possible, you could try things on in a physical shop.

I just love Farfetch. Fantastic sales and products. Especially when they have extra discounts off their sale prices. So great to be able to buy items I can't buy in Australia. Shipping is so fast. I get my items quicker than if I bought something within Australia. Can't ask for much better than that. One very happy lady with this amazing company. So glad I found them.

I bought a moschino handbag and it started peeling after an hour outside! The purse was obviously old and worn! Customer service offered me a 10% discount, and when I refused, he blamed me for not handling the goods properly. I definitely do not recommend buying on the farfetch website, very bad experience! I will never buy anything there again

Dreadful and incompetent service.
Placed an order almost a week ago - farfetch still unable to tell me where the order is or what is happening.

Order shipped after a few days, then the DHL status said returned to shipper.
Chased the company several times for a response, no one ever got back to me as promised. In the end cancelled the order; I am now very nervous as to whether I will get any sort of refund.

I would advise people not to use this service - very unsatisfactory service and unreliable. By comparison I used another service in the US and the goods were shipped from the US to Asia in 4 days; after almost a week farfetch.com could not even tell me where the goods were or what was happening - total joke! Do not use this site.

I purchased a purse on Farfetch and it's been two months but I still haven't received the item. Customer service was responsive at the start - that they will undertake an investigation which may take up to 15 days. 15 days later, I asked for an update. I demanded a refund (USD 2,085.80). I have been repeatedly asking for an update since then but still haven't gotten a response.

Within seconds of confirming my order I got another email cancelling my order due to some dubious verification requirements. I used my AmEx card. Either the credit card is accepted or rejected, what verification requirements are they talking about? Meanwhile I see a $1250 order pending on my AmEx account while Farfetch says it will take up to 14 days for a refund. This company strikes me as a scam. Stay away.

Do not use this sight. Looks high end but it's a scam.

Cancelled my order for no reason and then said it was my fault. I didn't trust the reviews and it was a big mistake! Everyone that wants to order designer brands PLEASE order from East Dane, Mr. Porter or Luisaviaroma. Those sites have provided excellent service everytime!

I've ordered numerous luxury items from Farfetch and have found that their overall shopping experience to be fantastic.

Inventory is always being updated, and the shopping and shipping process are done with relative ease. The ability to filter based on your specific preferences is great!

Not only is the utilization of the website easy to navigate and check-out but the updates on my order were spectacular and I received an additional link within the FarFetch shipping confirmation e-mail to be able to track my packages whereabouts along with an expected delivery window. Unfortunately not all items worked out but even the return process is simplified and all documents required for the return (internationally) are provided and once you log the return within your account on the website, it allows you the option to schedule a pick up or drop the package off yourself. I am a repeat customer and have been very happy with my experience at FarFetch!

Hi people of the world. I have bought a jumper online from Farfetch that has a price US$272. I called Farfetch and they told its inclusive all duties and taxes. When I bought it they charged me $US 392. I never mind as it's international purchase so understandable but when my dad received it in overseas he had to pay US$300 extra and they said it's import duty and tax. This is ridiculous. They misinformed me and when I called them and explained my issue they simply refused and said don't buy it online next time. What a bull$#*! customer service. I can guarantee you if you buy from Farfetch you will have to pay two times more than the actual price. Hope my review helps everyone

I made my first purchase from Farfetch about two years ago when they did not have a phone number to reach them, nor did they have a customer service email. I browsed the reviews and the majority was negative. I still decided to go ahead and order from them because it was only at Farfetch where I could find an item I was looking for. I never regretted doing that and became a repeated customer ever since. Over the last two years they develop into a larger company with prompt customer service (now they have a phone number, online chat and email:-) and a wide selection of brand names hard to find anywhere else. What makes them unique is that they source their stock from various stores around the globe, so the selection is very diverse. Another good thing is that Farfetch sends DDP and you don't have to pay customs duties and fees upon delivery. They even have a promo for free shipping sometimes - that makes the purchase even sweeter!

I purchased a $600 'Marc Jacobs' hand bag from this site. Within 3 months the hardware had tarnished. When I contacted them they said they would contact their 'supplier' they came back and said there was nothing they could do except off me a 10% refund. Do not purchase from this site.

Bought $500 sneakers. Faulty after wearing 3 times. Farfetch who are happy to take my money did not accept responsibility. Blamed brand supplier for 3 months delay to look at my request for replacement or refund. Without even asking to have to shoes returned to assess damage they decide its down to wear and tear and decline compensation. Farfetch do not accept responsibility and take the " not my problem" approach. Any other retailer would inspect the shoes and then come to a decision. Sorry to have to put Farfetch into my " unprofessional and never purchase from them again" basket.

Tip for consumers:
Don't expect a refund or replacement if your shoes are faulty.

Very disappointed with their service.
My item was not deliver but farfetch had already charged me the full amount of my purchase before shipment and also later i found out that my order status"active order" had moved/changed to "order history" (delievered) and that means they had claimed item was delivered which is not true.
I had raised the issue and requested them to investigate however no response from their team, in my point of view they have no business etiquette and should I claimed this a cheating case? I will not buy from them again, is really a bad experience!

As a follow up to the unilateral cancellation of my first order on Farfetch, I would like to add that I received wonderful help from their customer service representative. She was very polite and promptly replied my emails and to my surprise the product I had ordered became available. I then quickly placed my order and this time their system showed that the product has been delivered to the shipper and that I will be expecting to receive my product in 3 days. Hence kudos to Farfetch's customer service representative Ms Carolina.

Excellent service, great and caring customer support! My order was on customs hold up for a week and I had to pay another 100 euros to get it. But it was my fault because I wasn't informed enough about import duties in my country. Customer support contacted me couple of times to see if everything was fine and to ask if they could help releasing my package from customs faster. Package came in a big Farfetch box, nicely packed. Overall great experience, would recommend Farfetch to anyone! :)

If you want to treat yourself or a loved one to boutique fashion, Farfetch is a good option.
Of course it's insanely expensive but every aspect of the service is close to excellent. Choose carefully, spend wisely and remember they have a fast turnaround on returns.

If you return an item you can't get your money refunded. Customer service is nonexistent. There is no management. Impossible to get them on the phone. Emails are not answered. Finally I called my credit card company & disputed the charges. I subsequently had a new charge on my account that was totally unauthorized & never delivered. I had to have my my account blocked so Farfetch could no longer put charges through. STAY AWAY!
