“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.

Tip for consumers:
I have had an economical lost of 900 euro because they don't understand that selling a pair of glasses is not the same as selling a dress.

I bought these red moschino shoes from farfetch one week before my wedding. Received with a scratch, was asked to return them but they couldn't promise I get the same ones on time. I requested 25% compensation since that was the price to fix the heel at the shoe master. After 10 emails I was offered 12.50 euro. The price of shoes is 250 euro. After another 20 emails and manager Magda involved, they offered me 25 euro, which is not enough to fix the heel and they wouldn't be able to sell them with such flaw. Had to leave the shoes due to the tight time frame and wear them on my wrdding day. Will never use this site again. Shame on you, Farfetch!

Fake items, customer service refuses to take accountability. They claim the item is "an authentic luxury item". I have never even seen such a bad fake. The stitching is horrendous, colours aren't even within the lines, product is discoloured yellow, soles are not even glued on straight.

Recommend everyone receiving this cheap knock-off stuff to contact consumer/fair trading and their local ombudsman. These business should not be allowed to operate.

Extremely disappointed! I ordered a designer item (on sale) and Farfetch sent me the incorrect item (not once but twice). I was then brave (or stupid) enough to re order the item again…and eventually, some 2 weeks later, I was told the item was out of stock. And I should expect my refund within 14 days. Outrageous!

Do not buy on Farfech if you dont want to hussle for many months. I orderd a swarovski bangle for 207.50 euros but they sent me an empty box! I reached out their CSR and told me they cant process my refund.
Fraud! Scammer! Told them I filed a claim in Paypal then they answered me not to do hilarious things like filing claims. Oh common Im not stupid as you are Farfetch gang fraud.

Let me begin by stating that I am a platinum client of Farfetch, which has been my preferred website for shopping. Unfortunately, my recent purchases, where I tried new brands, did not fit, leading to returns. This is a common situation when buying clothes that don't suit due to size or style!

However, I was very disappointed to receive an email from Farfetch threatening to restrict my orders or close my account. This response is unacceptable, especially considering my loyalty as a platinum client. Consequently, I will be pursuing legal action against them and will no longer shop with Farfetch. This is not how a any client should be treated.

Awful experience and customer service. They do not believe the customer and have zero customer service skills. They sell their goods via boutiques who seem to have the final say on everything. They accused me of returning trainers that were worn. When I disputed this they were rude and unprofessional. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

FAR FETCH - https://www.farfetch.com/ - DON'T BUY FROM THIS STORE! It's a SCAM!

I don't often buy myself new clothing or accessories, but lately something good happened in my life and I decided to treat myself. I concluded that, out of all the things in the world, I'd like to have a brown Salvatore Ferragamo belt. I could only find the model that I liked on farfetch.com. So, I ordered it from there. It wasn't cheap, but hey! #treatyoself. Around 2 weeks later I received a notification that my order is ready at the pickup point. I rushed to collect the package. It looked intact. Little did I know, inside the package was a little red box and inside the box... NO BELT! Just very expensive AIR! Definitely not what I ordered! I raised this immediately with this so-called store and a couple of days later customer service informed me that they cannot make the refund because on their side everything is fine - the item was sent. Check mate, Greg! You don't have your belt, you don't have your money, and you wasted your time. "Thank you for shopping with us!" So, the message to potential customers of farfetch.com - go somewhere else! Don't allow to get yourself played like I did! Cheers!

Absolutely disappointing experience with Farfetch. After placing an order, they canceled it citing unavailability of the item in their inventory. Then, miraculously, the item became available again, only to be informed later that it was out of stock once more. This is utterly unacceptable. I strongly advise against shopping here. Farfetch is clearly deceiving customers, and their practices are deceitful

This online store has the policy that once shipping label created and customer wants to cancel; it has to be shipped anyway regardless. Waste of energy and resources for both parts. When to remove or cancel a shipping label is a simple solution. Poor customer service and lack of common sense.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. That's all.
Farfetch didn't send customs-required info along with my product. Customs reached out to them for over a week but Farfetch didn't reply so Customs denied clearance. So, FedEx prepared return packaging. I had to call FedEx to get the return packaging shipping info for Farfetch. Even that, Farfetch has still delayed my product. They are completely useless.

I ordered something from them almost 3 weeks ago and there was an issue with customs which I had then communicated with them that I would like to process a refund. The courier company had also tried to get in contact with them in regards to this to send back the item which then never responded nor got back to the courier company. My issue is still not being dealt with and their responses were the same saying "they we working on it" and now they are not responding to any of my emails nor have they given my money back.

This is very unfortunate that my first time experience with them is going this bad as I had very high hopes and was planning on shopping from then regularly if my first order had went well but clearly not.

After returning a pair of shoes that had I had not worn (indeed, I had not even fully removed them from the box), the company denied the return. I was told I should have inspected the shoes and reported wear/damage upon receipt, and since I was unaware of this policy, it is on me to bear the responsibility. No other retailer I've ever dealt with has been this inflexible and unhelpful. There was not even a discussion regarding potential options, credit, a partial return, etc. Do not recommend purchasing from this site as you can find all of these goods elsewhere with significantly better customer service.

Never order from that company. It's a hidden scam. I paid more than 80$ and never received it. When I reached the customer service, their answer was that the package was stollen in front of my house and it was not their responsibility.

I bought a pair of boots that weren't labeled for any gender and assumed they were women's, well they were men's. And yes they were 'final sale'. But their website did not indicate clearly what gender these were for. I went back and forth with their 'customer support' I offered to pay the full shipping refund costs myself, (denied) to exchanging the men's boot for the women's, (denied) to only receive a site credit in lieu of a refund, (denied) and basically told lol F off. Zero customer support. Buy only if you have 100% trust in what you're paying for and have no desire to refund,exchange, etc.

Tip for consumers:
Buy only if you fully intend to not return.

I made 2 purchases at Farfetch, the first one went well, the second time I received 1 of the 3 pieces I purchased and when I contacted customer service they said they would carry out an investigation and the conclusion was that they found no error. Loss of 700 dollars. I feel ripped off, I don't intend to buy there again. Picture below of how my purchase arrived.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid buying anything there.

I left a review based on a bad experience because the customer service didn't repair the problem. Prompted to email again and got no reply. Farfetch owes me $26 for a promotional discount.
They sent a very expensive garment in a single sheet of tissue paper. What if the cardboard box got wet or torn as the previous one did?
No garment bag or wrapper. I had to purchase one from another retailer.

The return for another item was never picked up and no paperwork was sent.
Lost a day waiting for dhl to arrive. They told me they dont do scheduled time slots for pick ups.
Long story short, FF has turned into Yoox, which is a clearance website.
FF is not a luxury site anymore and so they have lost my business.

Do not order unless you are sure that the item will fit you. I ordered a pair of shoes in December and decided to return my order as the size was too small. They refuse to refund me because they pretend that the article got damaged. It can't be me because I literally just wore the shoes for 2 minutes and put them back in the box. It might have been damaged in the transportation or after they received it. They refuse any sort of discussion and decided to send it back to me and charge me. It is a totally abusive practice. After reading several similar comments, I actually think that they intentionally damage the returned items in order not to refund their clients, as they are in a pretty difficult financial situation.

It's now been 4 months and still NO REFUND. The customer service agents won't raise a complaint and cannot and will not answer to where my parcel is or who lost my order. Two videos uploaded with this review proves how terrible and vile their customer service is. I have had to contact Trading Standards to report how Farfetch are operating.

Returned my order back in August 2023, the order passed UK customs and was sent to Japan and then returned back to my billing address EMPTY. My parcel was stolen and tampered with somewhere after UK customs to Japan and back to me. Farfetch have been ignoring me since August and still have not refunded me for my missing goods of £180. I have had to contact trading standards to get involved. Do not purchase from Farfetch. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. I am now £180 down and I do not even have the goods.

My 65 year old mom bought my wife a $500 pair of shoes from Farfetch and they were never worn. Farfetch would not let us return or exchange the shoes even though they were never even put on. I wouldn't recommend Farfetch to anyone. This has been horrible.

Do not use Farfetch.

No product was delivered, after intensively follow-up with UPS for more than 2 weeks, apparently my package was lost. Furthermore, Farfetch customer service without fact checking sent an email that there won't be any refund. I fought back to get my money refunded and eventually received my money back. Lost so much time and bad experience and resulted nothing as 1st time experience purchasing via FarFetch

1st time experience and it was extremely bad. No longer purchase from here and prevent UPS shipping company as well

Worst service ever! Returned my shoes 2 months ago and still haven't received any updates or refund!
Also ordered a tory burch bag, after two uses the material starting wearing off and cracking,after negotiations all they offered is a 10% refund since the item has been used as if i would've kept it if it was initially in this bad condition. Super disappointed, i need to send them a minimum of 3 emails to get a response and no body even cares!
