“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.

Made an order on Saturday and it said that in 48h Id get another email with the shipping information, 5 days have passed and nothing. I tried emailing and calling, but got no answer. Im really disappointed since I was pumped to buy a bag next week, but since Im having problems with my shirts I wont buy it anymore... really hope to get my order, since I leave Europe in a week and then I wont be able to pick up my things... my order number is 3AAV4S. Dont recommend buying from this site if youre not ordering for the place you live in, you might just lose your order.

I ordered a dolce dress from Farfetch for my son's wedding. The dress was over $2,000. The box arrived. Wow it was sooo light. I opened it and the box was completely empty. No tissue Nothing! The weight on the package was the weight of the empty box. I called Farfetch. They said they would investigate. The answer came back. We have closed your file! We are doing nothing. They kept the charge on my credit card. Unbelievable!
I was out $2,000! Totally not acceptable! I would NEVER deal with this company again!

Tip for consumers:
Would never use this site again. The box arrived EMPTY!!! In spite of me sending pictures and the weight in the box was the weight of the empty box! They refused to refund my $2,000. And closed my file Would NEVER use this site!!!

What a terribly bad company. I ordered 2 stone island shirts. 1 in size M and 1 in size L. I sent the M back. Now I got back that they are not sending money back because suddenly there is a hole in the back of the shirt. I can't help it that they choose a bad carrier and therefore a hole got into the shirt during transport. So now I will not get my money back. Never again this very bad company! Really noooo never again. I would recommend everyone not to buy here.

Tip for consumers:
Buy nothing at Farfetch

I wanted a size smaller by half a size and they wouldnt let me exchange or allow me to return and repurchase at the orginal price as I bought it on promotion with a 20% off... they wouldnt honour the same price... horrible customer service. It was coming from the same boutique in Paris as well. I spent an hour and half on the phone on hold and trying to get them to exchange my shoes for half a size difference. Beyond frustrating and disappointing.

I spent over $1,000 on an outfit and the next day they cancelled my order unexpectedly. I called and asked why and they said some card info was incorrect so it didnt go through. This was funny because I got confirmation for the order as soon as I purchased but i took this answer. However It was a huge inconvience because i now had to wait 10 days for my money and i had no outfit for my event that weekend. The next day i recieved shoes though?! So my money was good enough for $300 shoes but not my $800 jeans? Hm So how was i able to get anything sent to my house from this company if my card info was incorrect? I called back and was hung up on by their financial department within asking my first question after her initial explanation. I will not be spending a penny more with far fetched.

I have bought two pairs of sneakers from Farfetch with no problems. With my third pair I have encountered a problem. Farfetch has taken $112 more than the agreed purchase price from my account. The sneakers I bought cost $237.63 (this is the amount displayed on my order total and receipt) according to the companies FAQs "The currency will be set according to your location and displayed at checkout" which was what happened with my previous purchases which all went through in NZD- which is as stated on their FAQs my location. However Farfetch has taken $346 from my account. They are saying this is because my order is now in USD. Super unhappy and will never purchase from this site again.

I purchased a YSL card holder and a jacket around a week ago, I don't understand why I got a refund saying that the card holder was out of stock. I was very disappointed because it wasn't shown on the website it was out of stock. I ended up with getting one item that I don't really want to buy.

I placed an order online and later that day received an email from Farfetch stating they have cancelled my order. I ring and ask why my order has been cancelled and they said my bank did not authorise my payment a '2nd' time?

Fair enough they cancelled my order but what I still don't understand is why they have taken my money (Nearly £400) and not returned it.

I have spoken to customer service who are rude and very unhelpful. I have also emailed them asking to contact my bank so I can receive my money to which are ignored!

I suspect they have let me buy an item that they do not have in stock and blamed my bank so they do not have to honour their order.

Very, very unhappy with this company. STAY AWAY PEOPLE.

The items sold on Farfetch are fake, and probably made in China that you can get from DH Gate. They sell Yeezy Boost v350 for £1200-£2000!, these trainers are £250 to buy from official Adidas Yeezy website. They sell versions of these shoes that are already sold out first day of sale so they are obviously fake. This website charges extortionate prices for FAKE items. Quality of goods is terrible and customer service is non existent. Any one from the UK do NOT buy from this website everything on here is fake and massively over priced I have no idea how this shop is still open legally. They will also do anything in order to not refund your item, just read all other reviews on other websites and you will see the things they try to do to not refund you.

I am very disappointed with recent purchase with Farfetch. After two days of purchase, i have checked the status of the order, it shows one item has been cancelled due to out of stock. I had the same experience 3 months ago with Farfetch. I have sent two emails regarding recent order but i haven't received response from Farfetch team. Goodluck team Farfetch

Order some boots on sale for $410 I was so excited to get these boots so I waited days for it to be shipped only to see that my order was cancelled for some reason. It says my order was cancelled because it sold out, but clearly it wasn't because the boots were relisted in their site. I was never notified by email or anything. The only reason I know is because I was constantly checking their site to see when my order shipped. Really disappointing. Won't be ordering from them again

I purchased New Balance 550's off Farfetch and the box not only came damaged, but the shoes had dirty marks on the leather and soles. Considering they marked up the price to $305 NZD from $200 NZD, I was shocked when the shoes came damaged. I asked for a partial refund so that I can get these fixed but they refused, only stating that they can only cover 5% which is a joke. They wouldn't even cover the full cost of repair.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t purchase from this website, the customer service is horrible and not accomodating at all.

I purchased a Proenza Schouler bag from Farfeth for $900 and just 3 months later it had broken as the strap was faulty. It has now been four months since I returned my bag and I still have no replacement bag or my money back. Customer service has not kept me updated at all and only replies to me when I email them demanding answers. The last email I sent was not even responded to! I have requested a refund multiple times and I am consistently told I must wait to see if my bag can be repaired first. I am unsure why it takes four months to determine whether a bag can be repaired!?!? I will never shop with Farfetch again and I suggest no one else does either!

They took my money and never sent me my item back. They stoled from me. Somebody please help me, I don't know what to do anymore.

Yes, I received the item but my credit card was overcharged by farfetch.com. The contract of sale, as stated on the website, is directly between the buyer and the boutique. The charges on my cc have nothing to do with invoice that I got from the boutique. The card was charged by farfetch.com. They refuse to refund. The explanation provided is that the price should be the same as the price in EUR in Italy. This is wrong as the Italian price includes 22% VAT which doesn't apply to US consumers. The invoice from Italian boutique reflects correct price.

Please, be careful.

Tip for consumers:
Be careful. The invoice fom the boutique states that the price includes US import duties.

Dear Lara

Thank you so much for taking the time out to provide us with feedback. We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with your shopping experience with us.

I can confirm that your order did not include any EU VAT. Having investigated the invoice that was attached, I understand now the confusion. The Italian boutique has added a VAT price on the invoice by mistake but this was not charged to you. We sincerely apologize for this confusion

The total price including the US Duties is indeed the one you paid and you were never over charged.

If you are still unsure about this and would like to discuss your invoice or purchase further please contact us on (213) 550-3798

Once again, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope this does not deter you from purchasing from our site in the future. If there is anything that we can assist you with or you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks

I placed order on 19 Jul 18, bought a bag (Salvatore Ferragamo-Gancio tote bag). However, I was so dissapointed with the bag that I received, the inner lining color didn't match as describe or shown in the photo as well as the quality. Some parts are torn. And it seems like a used bag. I bought it for $577.26 which clearly doesn't receive what I pay. My order number is A6MPRE.

I came to this website to buy better quality clothing, but they really don't care what they send you. First I came here twice just to give them a chance, but the first time they sent me stuff that was not up to a higher pricing stander, the gear would not hold up for the first few months. Second, they only give you less than a week to send things back even though every other clothing brand I have purchased from has given me a month. For the clothing I bought 100 dollar sweatpants and the button came off the first day by me just moving it a little. Do not waste your money with them for the reason to that you can find better quality stuff for the same price or even less. Also they miss advertised some product, like swimshort as shorts

I purchased a bag with all given measurements, pictures in details, nothing left to imagination on what to expeect. Paid shipping and all due customs taxes only to receive same bag in much smaller version, all different from the measurement and pictures on the site. After complaining I received an email promossing that after returning the item, all shipping and other costs would be refunded in Farfetch credit. After returning the item though, I never got refunded of those costs and was told I had to deal with my Government, although the whole purchase was a clear fraud at this site. Will never purchase again and advise so to all people I care about.

I am never ordering from here ever again. Still waiting over a week for a refund that shows received and signed for by Farfetch. They keep giving me the run around about it all. If I dont get the refund by Friday Im calling BBB. This happened to me before and I gave them another chance but no more. People shop elsewhere. I got a prompt refund from MONNIER Frères. I recommend them over Farfetch.

This is my 2nd purchase of the same item. For the first purchase, wrong size was sent to me. I have to request for refund.

For this purchase, the wrong size was sent to me again. The shoe box indicated the correct size. However, the shoes inside is of another size.

I wonder if the staff at far fetch ever does the things right. This is my first time buying from far fetch and yet it disappointing again and again.

I demand full refund of item, including shipping and also the voucher (from the first purchase) I used to offset.

I bought this maap jersey Mar 30 2021. And i used it for the first time at april 13, and got a badluck i have serious accident that made my shoulder dislocated and this jersey have a big tears! I try to ask any replacement from maap policy? And farfetch doesn't have responsibility to make a replacement! That really not professional in my opinion! Because i saw a policy from maap that they can do new replacement if jersey have a damage from accident with giving 40% off for new replacement, Never2 want to buy from this company again. And jersey that i received was not the same with jersey in website! I just not have a time to send it back so i keep it! Poor Customer service!

Tip for consumers:
They should have a connection with all the brands they have and ask any warranty if there accident or missing something on their products.

I ordered from Farfetch couple of times but my last order (1500usd) which paid for fully, was other not sent by Farfetch or lost by DHL. Farfetch was absolutely bias and wasn't welling to hear me out and solve the problem, their problem solving skill is -10 and their dispute department didn't even bother to contact DHL to investigate the lost package. The cases were closed with Farfetch and DHL, and neither of them refunded me. It was a big loss for me. They lost me as a customer.
