“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.

Terrible... would NEVER use again, purchased a pair of shoes for £460 and the box came held together by sellotape and already been sent out before and returned. DO NOT BUY VALENTINO SHOES FROM this company. When asked about what they will do about it (2 weeks later) they offered me an insulting offer of compensation.

Arrived on time and wrapped nicely and tracking available through UPS. Postage did take 7 days but paid reasonable postage costs of £5 so expected. I will use again

Good product and nice service with rapid delivery, yet packaging could be more delicate, the price with discount is valuable and attractive, I will try to shop here again!

How can they be so unprofesional on their business!? Farfetch is a joke! Never use it! AVOID! I made order first with visa then it was canceled sand they wanted my detail passport etc. I provided all information they wanted but still they could not confirm my address! Then i tried with two other card they canceled both so They charged 3 times ( And kept the money for 3 weeks until it was back on my card) Even they said it taks max 6 days till i got my money refunded on my card! I still wonder HOW COME this kind of website exsist! Also the customer service is very unprofessional a bunch of kids working there! Try searching other sites first where tradeing is easy and not made uncomfortable and humiliation.

Hi George, We are sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with your Farfetch experience.
Farfetch takes the security of its customers very seriously, in a small number of cases where we cannot verify details unfortunately we may decide to cancel or decline an order. We do not control the length of time it takes for funds to be returned to an account, the refunds are processed the same day as the cancellation and it is then processed by your issuing bank/card provider. We apologise for any frustration caused. Thanks, Farfetch

Farfetch has been one of most hassle-free fashion platforms I've used and enjoyed. Their selection of brands, UI design, delivery speed and return services, have been nothing but superb.

I bought a pair of Bottega Veneta for $858.35
I returned the item as received. DHL came to pick up the item and they checked the item before taking it. As per Farfetch returns policy, the item was placed in the supplied Farfetch box in addition to another cardboard box surrounding it.
I received an email from Farfetch with images stating that the item was not sent in the Farfetch box and that the security tag was not attached to the item. The security tag is merely a plastic loop around one of the loafers, this can easily come off and be placed back onto the shoe. This is what I presume has occurred.
Farfetch procured DHL for handling and shipping of their goods. I have explicitly followed Farfetch's return instructions to the letter. Any alterations to the packaging or transport of the items are obviously beyond my control and are the sole responsibility of DHL and Farfech. I am extremely disappointed with how this matter has been handled and Farfetch's denial of any responsibility.

Tip for consumers:
Worst customer service! Avoid!!

Dear Ruby C,

Thank you for your comment.

We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with your shopping experience with us. As stated in our return policy, we are not able to accept any return items without the security tag. Furthermore, our security tag is designed in a way that it can be removed only by breaking the plastic with force therefore it will not come off during transit.

We thank you for your understanding in advance.

I've been shopping with Farfetch for over 3 years and I have always had great service. Sometimes there are small problems, but Farfetch has always taken care of these issues. Keep up the great work.

Verified purchase

The Bottega keychain strap was sold out in the USA but luckily I found it on Farfetch. It was the last one too so I immediately bought it. First time buying through Farfetch and they did a great job of packaging and shipping it fast. I received it before my Bottega wallet that I bought in the USA on the same day.

Tip for consumers:
I was worried about authenticity but it was the real deal.

Farfetch has had my money and the item I returned for 5 months now. All I get are promises of a return that never happens.
They ask me to close the dispute with my credit card company, which i did and now it's been over a month and still no refund.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM or you will regret it by chasing them for months for your hard-earned money.

Tip for consumers:
IF YOU BUY ANYTHING FROM Farfetch you better keep it otherwise they will take the item and hold your money for months. They've had the item and still have my money for 5 months now. I'm still getting the runaround for a refund.

First of all, I like the designers found on this website. Secondly, the one item I ordered arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

With that, I purchased a pair of Paris Texas shoes that were "new season." I entered my promo code for 10% off first time purchases, which these shoes qualified for because the screen showed the 10% deducted from the price, but for some reason during the checkout process the reduced price didn't work. I spoke with multiple customer service reps and was told over and over again they would not refund me the 10% from my order. One gave me a $20 credit to the website as a good faith gesture. The refund should have been $39.20. I wanted the $39.20 refunded from the purchase price. They refused. I have now disputed the purchase with my credit card company and I will never buy another thing from this website. The customer service experience is a disaster and one particular customer service rep continues to write me with condescending, passive aggressive emails giving me his opinion of how I, the buyer, the ones who keeps drop ship websites like this in business, should conduct my affairs. Ha! How about you find a job outside of "customer service?"

Tip for consumers:
Do not expect any form of customer service if you are not satisfied for any reason. The website claims they have a return policy, but I did not have to use it.

Purchased an item a week ago, then farfetch contacted me after waited ONE WHOLE WEEK to tellme that the item is damaged so wants to know if i would still like the item with a discount. Why didnt you tell me that it is damaged one or 2 days after you receive my order? My credit card has been charged for this damaged item and i am not receiving any form of communication from them. Emailed them back with the go ahead if i could have 20% off and now they stopped emailing me back. I even emailed them again for another follow up/status of item, NOTHING!

I ordered a pair of boots from farfetch(over USD400). It was obviously defective with the zipper falling midway every couple of steps I took. Farfetch (supplier being Onward Luxury Group SPA) refused to refund/accept responsibility and after their so called brand assessment, said that the brand knew about this problem and yet continued with the production of this boot - which is obviously bogus as I have researched other buyer reviews of this pair of boots and no one mentioned this zipper falling problem. ***Buyer beware when purchasing from farfetch and Onward Luxury Group SPA***

BAD - do not shop here.
Placed an order, they charged my credit card but did not ship. After 4 days I asked the status and they informed me that the item was not available any more. Customer service sucks, couldn't explain why my card was charged (their policy says that it will be charged when shipped). Avoid especially ANITA HASS, GERMANY

Hi Helen,

We are truly sorry for the disappointing experience that you have had with us.

On some rare occasions orders are cancelled because the boutique find that the piece ordered sold out moments before your order was submitted. When this happens we add the equivalent of £10 to your account as a small way of saying sorry.

Please kindly be aware that when your order is placed the funds are held and charged only when your order is shipped. As your order was not shipped the funds will go back on to your account automatically. If you have any further questions regarding this please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks,
Farfetch

Farfetch, in my opinion of course, is very good and also all products came to me in 4 days and i was really amazed, because all products were in really good condition. But why only 4 stars? Because all products are very expensive, okay maybe not so because of companies - prada, dior, maxmara and others - but in shops (not internetshops) they're much cheaper.

I am in the midst of what is becoming an exceptionally annoying problem with Farfetch. After Christmas I ordered two sets of earrings, one for myself and one as a bridal gift. The earrings arrived late and the ones meant for the bride arrived damaged. I've contacted Farfetch and went several round with them due to their "no return of earring policy." While I understand this policy, you can't charge over $500 for damaged goods and not have some mechanism for refunds. I was asked to send two separate sets of pictures of the problem, which I did, and was finally told that I can return them to the boutique for "assessment and exchange." Thanks but no thanks. The wedding for which these were meant to be a present is rapidly approaching so I now have to buy yet another gift and I'll be stuck with two essentially identical sets of earrings. I was also denied an opportunity to speak with a supervisor about this case, despite being very patient and asking very politely. Disgraceful customer service. Stay away. This was my first and last time with Farfetch.

Dear Laura

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. We are ever so sorry to hear that you have received a damage pair of earrings.

Having checked the timeline of your order we can see that this was sent to you and received within our agreed delivery times of 2 to 4 working days as you chose the express shipment option with DHL.

In regards to the request for photos, we often ask customers who receive damaged goods to send us photos in order for us to offer a faster resolution. From the ones you sent, the damage or fault is not clearly visible hence why we've requested the boutique to asses the damage.

We are liaising with the boutique to offer a replacement for the damaged pair and reship them back to you. We can also see that you have been corresponding with one of my colleagues and hope you understand the reason why we were unable to accept the return of the undamaged pair. For more information on our returns policy regarding earrings please view the following link:

http://www.farfetch.com/pag1985.aspx#helpContact-ReturnsRefunds

Furthermore. We have already sent you your free returns information to ensure the damaged pair are sent back for inspection and we have escalated your case within our management team. We recommend returning the damaged pair as soon as possible.

We would like to apologise once again for the inconvenience caused by this experience and hope this does not deter you 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
Farfetch

No packaging came with this item, only the shoe box directly inside the carrier brown bo. Was disappointed as this is for a present and I ll have to package the boots myself.
