I've ordered from sigma on multiple occasions through the last few years, never experienced any problems. Their brushes and make up are truly top of the line and worth every penny. As far as shipping I have always received my orders in a timely fashion never any issues ever. I absolutely love sigma.
I have never had so may issues with my makeup brushes as I have with these. They are overpriced for the quality. They shed, fall apart, chip, break, I have brushes from all different brands and I would rather just head over to target and buy some cheapo brand that has better quality. And before this trash company responds with a canned response about their "warranty policy" it is also trash, the CS team either doesn't respond, doesn't help, makes you jump thru a million hoops to prove that yes, the brush is broken. I want the brush made right the first time, especially considering how much they charge. Won't buy again, I'd rather use cotton buds.
Placed an order 11 days ago, still waiting for order. Tried to contact them several times via email as they do not give a contact number but no response. I would not use this company again. Poor service all round.

I've purchased numerous Sigma brushes and love them! They are soft, durable, easy to clean and make makeup application a breeze. I highly recommend the foundation, powder, blush, highlighter and eye brushes.

Still waiting to received my Very expensive purchase... was Told that It is sitting at some "Hub" as they had a "Bad address"
I've never had issues like this before... Very weird... Still waiting, was told to call back Monday... Have asked them to Call me directly... they will not call... will only communicate via email! Very frustrating... I will never Order from SIGMA again... I have a very upset daughter who has saved all of her Allowance, Birthday and Christmas money, and is Very disappointed...
Hi Jodie,
We apologize for the disappointment caused with this order! What can happen when an address is incomplete or inaccurate is that it cannot ship out until we get the address properly corrected. Unfortunately, this can delay the shipping time. We are very sorry that this caused your daughter to be upset as that is never our intention. Email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com for a special discount code - Simply mention this review in your email. We look forward to hearing from you.
10 days and still no order... absolutely the worst cust svc. They ship via ups and then ups sends it to usps. But, there are a lot of companies that do that. It's the way sigma has it set up. It is pushed to the BACK of mail. USPS told me that. In other words, our purchase means NOTHING
Hi Lisa,
We know this is a late response, but it is very important that you know your purchase means everything! We are incredibly sorry to hear your disappointment. Currently, our shipping time frame is 5-7 business days and all packages are immediately resent if they do not reach you in that time frame. Thank you for being so patient throughout your shipping process. Please email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com and mention this review for a special discount code as our apology.
Sigma 4th of July Sale: I placed an order 5 days ago. After I entered the finalize transaction click, I got a message come up on the screen saying "order in review". Not sure what that means. So far, I have received no emails confirming my order is in process, much less ready for shipment. No idea what the status of my order is.It seems like my funds have not been withdrawn yet. Hopefully, I won't get a message back saying that it was out of stock and that I won't get my brushes on sale as I was hoping.
Hi Maria,
We are very sorry for any confusion caused with the placement of your order. All orders placed are manually reviewed to prevent fraudulent activity and to ensure the safety of your information on our site. Thank you for your patience!
I open the box: no paper, no gift as they promised. Just 4 lonely brushes in the box instead of 5. I took them in my hands and noticed that 3 of them were with stickers that were taken out and put on again, I clearly saw the scratches that these boxes were opened more than one time, one brush was definitely used, maybe all of these 3 were. Terrible experience. I hope I will get a refund. Never again, they are scammers.
Hi Victoria,
We are so sorry to hear about this experience! Rest assured, all brushes that arrive to you come directly from our fulfillment center and have never been touched or opened by a customer before - Just our quality control teams which inspect every single brush by hand to ensure top quality. What happens a lot is that items can be misshaped or packaging can be damaged while the order is in transit. You can always email us photos for us to review; we are more than happy to help find a resolution! We would love for you to give us another chance. Email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com for a special discount code. Just mention this review. We look forward to hearing from you!
Ordered brushes with the free international shipping. I have emailed them twice as the FedEx tracking number keeps coming up as invalid. They have not responded, no customer service. If my brushes end up arriving or customer service contacts me I will update the review. But according to the other reviews, it does not look promising.
Hello Ana,
Thank you for leaving a review. The Free International Shipping method is a non-trackable shipping method, and therefore FedEx will not have tracking updates in their system for the order. Please try checking your spam/junk folder for our reply. If you cannot locate it there, we would love for you to chat with us live on sigmabeauty.com or call our toll free number at 1(800)941-6991 for assistance.
We hope to hear from you soon!
I ordered one brush from them. All the coupons give you 10% off. They gave me a tracking number but UPS can't find it. So where is my order? I tried to do a live chat with someone and they can't find it either. They are so unprofessional. If I don't get my order I better get a refund. She told me, "Typically, we do not offer refunds for lost packages and would offer to resend the product." That's what you say, but will you do that? I'm just gonna stick to Morphe or buying brushes in store. Morphe is an AMAZING company and you can track your package without being stressed out. I only got this one to go with a highlighter.
Hi Charlene,
We apologize for the lack of information and inconvenience with this order. Often times, tracking numbers need time to load or update in UPS/USPS's systems. If the tracking, for any reason, does not update or show it was properly delivered we immediately ship out a replacement package, no questions asked. If you email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com we can provide you with a special discount that is certainly higher than 10% off for the inconvenience that you had to experience. We look forward to hearing from you!
I placed two orders during their semi-annual sale. I was expecting a delay in the shipping since there were obviously going to be a ton of orders placed. My second order was shipped out promptly, but the tracking stopped working after a few days. I gave Sigma a call and they were so nice and made sure to help me out. My first order didn't ship out as quick as my second one, so they sent it out with priority mail. Overall, amazing custome service. I'm sad to see all of these negative comments, but it's obvious that some people are just impatient.
Thank you for an amazing experience!
Be honest about shipping and don't say 5-7 days to ship. It's been 17 days. I really was wondering if I had been scammed. I thought it would be better ordering directly from the company. So far it's been a disappointment. I'd rather you tell me it will take a month for my item to arrive then there is wondering or checking emails to see if something has been processed or shipped.
Put in an order for the Ultimate Blending Brush Set and the F80 brush on February 1 during some absolutely insane sales. Sigma sets usually cost $100+ AUD so this was an absolute steal.
Read some awful reviews about their shipping from many websites. From here, Reddit, other review websites etc. Saw some posters have waited up to 3+ months. I wasn't really in a rush so didn't expect much in terms of shipping speed. Thought I could wait until end of March. Imagine my surprise and delight to see it arrived today! A great experience so far. So happy with my purchases
Worst customer service! I placed an order, it got cancelled without notice. Placed a second order, got cancelled again. Placed a third order, again cancelled. All with no prior notice. My emails went unanswered. Horrible experience!
Hello,
We are so sorry to hear about this experience! Our customer service teams works hard to reply to all emails in 1-3 business days. For future reference, we suggest checking spam and junk folders, too for our responses. We would like to make a better experience for you!

Placed an order for delivery to UK, paid full shipping, when it arrived I had to pay an additional £14, because they neglect to tell you that European shipping charges are to Germany only, shipping from Germany to the destination country is extra.
Do not order unless you are aware of this undisclosed cost
Hi Richard,
We are so sorry that you were not aware of this information before placing an order. Since your review was left, we have updated our checkout page and FAQ section to clearly specify the possibility of these charges for International Orders. We apologize for this inconvenience and would love for you to email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com and mention this review for a special discount code.
They indicated nowhere that their prices were in US dollars, which I maybe should have expected but nonetheless it's pretty easy to indicate simply when someone is placing an order from outside the US the cost will be different due to currency exchange. Even the receipt they sent me was in US dollars, indicating nowhere on it anything about currency exchange. I think typically people like to know what they're paying for a product before they're charged. My credit card bill came in almost $25 higher than the final cost on my receipt. When I contacted Sigma about this, they replied blaming it on shipping costs that have nothing to do with the company when I had clearly stated that I was upset they couldn't simply indicate that they're prices are in US dollars. Customers shouldn't have to work to know how much a product costs, worst expereience I've ever had ordering anything online. I just hope my brushes get here fine.
Hi Laura,
We are so sorry to hear that the prices listed were not clear. Yes, you are correct, all prices are in USD and currency exchange rates will apply. We apologize for the lack of clear communication and would like to make this up for you. Please email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com so that we can provide you with a discount code. We look forward to hearing from you!
These brushes really are great, I have not been disappointed by any of the brushes I have purchased from this website. The only thing is that they are expensive, to me they were worth it due to the fact that I had the mindset of getting brushes that really work and will last me. I have had the brushes for about 3 years and they still work wonders. You have to keep them clean and don't forget to wash them and take good care of them. If you are serious about makeup and can afford it, I highly suggest getting these as opposed to other high end makeup brushes like MAC. They work the same, I like sigmas makeup brushes even more.
Tip for consumers:
This website has sale sometimes! make sure to check those out.
Brush cup holder they sent me was broken, so they said they would send me another one. Each response to my email took about 2 days, and eventually when they said they would send me another, I waited a month before emailing them again, and having to wait at least another 3-5 working days for a response this time.
When they finally responded, they had no idea what I was talking about and I had to recount the whole history again of what had happened, and why they were going to send me a new one and ask why it hadn't already been sent.
Took another month for me to receive it and when I finally did, it got lost in the mail and they refused to help.
I ordered $75 nzd worth of makeup to be ordered at the end of November 2016 it is now January 2017 and I still have not received my makeup. I have contacted both my local post service and sigma. And my local post say they cannot find it and sigma told me to wait and that it may take over 31 days to arrive. I waited that long and emailed again and they then said it could take 8 weeks to process at the facility to ship. I am appalled at their service as it is now just becoming a joke and I believe now that it may never arrive and that I may have just wasted money that I can't afford to lose as I am a student who doesn't earn much and I am not able to even afford to pay for my sisters hens party which is a real shame.
Hi Katy,
We are so sorry for the disappointment caused with this order. Our International shipping time is 31 complete business days, and up to eight weeks in total. Often times, packages are held in customs and this why we ask to allow the eight weeks. Again, we never want to cause frustration like this or to make you upset. Please email us at: contact@sigmabeauty.com so that we can provide you with a discount code. Mention this review in your email. Thank you for your patience, Katy.
Customer service is non existent. I want to know status of my orders. Your comosny kerps sending out sales and coupons yet you cant fullfill your orders or give status after you have charged the order.
Hello,
We are so sorry to hear about the experience you had with your order. Our customer service teams tries our hardest to reply to your inquiry within 1-3 business days, and we also offer a live chat service on our website from 9AM - 3PM CDT Monday through Friday. We would love the chance to make this up to you; please email us at contact@sigmabeauty.com for a special discount code just for you.
Its a complete scam if you are doing an international shipping. I ordered products worth $200 which I have still not received; they keep telling me to wait. WTF?
Its a shame that such a big company is actually such a thief and scam. Once you have placed the order, they refuse to cancel it. I checked all negative reviews and thought may be it was once in a while thing but honestly, DONT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY, you will never get it.
Hi,
We apologize for the frustration caused with your Sigma Beauty order. Our fulfillment center pulls orders immediately and unfortunately, we do not have the ability to cancel orders at this time. We know this can cause an inconvenience and do our best to find an alternative solution. Our international shipping time is 31 business days with the possibility of eight weeks, typically due to customs. Unfortunately the customs clearance is out of our control. Again, we are so sorry for this negative experience you had. We will provide you with a special discount code if you email: contact@sigmabeauty.com and mention this review. We look forward to speaking with you.
I have been trying to log into my account for the past 15 minutes, resetting my password over and over and JUST CAN'T LOG IN FOR GOODNESS SAKE. WHAT A DOUCHEY WEBSITE. And the password strength NEVER changes regardless of how tough you make it.
I just needed to enquire on WHERE my package is as it's already past the 72 hour wait for status to show up on UPS but NOTHING.
Hi Aki,

I've purchased brushes from sigma. It's already 1 month since they shipped out the brushes according to "JAZMINE" but until now, NO BRUSHES SHIPPED AT MY DOOR! The worst customer service! I WOULD NEVER EVER MAKE A SECOND MISTAKE OF BUYING ANY PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE A SCAM! THIEF! MY WORST NIGHTMARE! NEVER AGAIN! I WILL NEVER EVER RECOMMEND SIGMA TO ALL I KNOW OR TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS! NEVER!
I will write as many reviews as is necessary to help Sigma's rating go up because people are being unrealistic and unreasonable with their negative reviews about the customer service. Did you know there are only TWO customer service representatives at Sigma?! The biggest complaints I've seen in reviews is customer service and shipping. Let's go through these: As I just said, there are just two people who are in customer service. Should their be more? Perhaps. But they are very prompt in responding to emails as well. I believe, and I may be wrong, but I believe that many of their employees (including CS) are college students. I think that is important and impressive. I'm from Minnesota and the U of M (university of Minnesota) is HUGE and quite prominent. If you've been to college full or part time, you know how incredibly demanding it is. Add a job to your schedule. A job where people are constantly calling. Not to say thank you but to complain, many times about things Sigma has no control over such as delivery issues. It doesn't matter who they use, FedEx, UPS, USPS, whatever- those are separate entities. Once it hits whatever area packages go to be picked up, it's out of their hands.
It wouldn't matter if they had 200 customer service reps, people would still complain because they expect the world to revolve around them. My thoughts? Slow your roll! It's not JUST you who's a customer. Be patient. Be kind. Be understanding. As a former Midwesterner, mail is SLOW from there. Mail is slow everywhere these days.
In terms of quality, there is NO way anyone could give less than 4-5 stars! Their brushes are backed by a 2 year warranty! Does It cosmetics offer a warranty? What about Morphe? Elf? Luxie? And I challenge anyone who is using these brushes for what they're intended for- makeup - to show me any brush that has become useless, broken, or destroyed due to everyday makeup use. And IF it happened within that warranty period, show me Sigma not replacing it and I will edit my reviews.
In my experience, Sigma should have no less than 4 stars tops, across the board. Everything I have read has come from someone who was impatient and flat out expected them to drop everything and focus on them only. That is not realistic.
Tip for consumers:
Please be patient with shipping and customer service. If you have an issue, there is a phone number listed on Google for direct communication with CS or you can email, response time was w/I 72 hrs. Remember it's not just you they're serving..
