Shop owner asked me if I needed assistance.. So I said which show I liked.. was offered to try them.. He asked someone else to get me the shoes while he went to investigate why a child was trying to play with the hanging light. That person offered to get me them. In multiple sizes as they are Chelsea boots. Then offered me inner souls for a half size. This fit perfectly so I bought them. Whole transaction took about 2 minutes very efficient and very good experience

I went from London to Bluewater to get CK trainers. Spent £10 petol and £5 Dartford Crossing charge plus time. The leather on the trainers was cracked. I Went to Oxford Street to return costing another £6.20 travel plus time. Then ordered the same trainers online. This time, the inside leather was not covered properly resulting in a severe blister. I Was told I needrd to go into a shop so the assistant could verify the problem for a refund. I went to Oxford Street for a return costing another £6.20 travelling plus time. Then I was told I cannot get delivery refunded. I got in touch with Customer Services for all this drama and they only offered 10% discount in next purchase. So my £99 CK trainers turned to £129.40 plus time. What a shambolic service and Customer Services did not resolve my formal complaint to my satisfaction.

Good price, free delivery in UK but expensive to outlying areas like Northern Ireland, for no clear rationale other than that it is an easy revenue stream

Awful experience, paid for next day shipping and parcel wasn't dispatched until 2 days later. I only learnt that parcel was delayed after following up with them. Truly useless customer service.

Easy to order, but that’s about all

Easy to order, choice of delivery but I feel quite expensive so a good value product once postage and then return fee as ordered wrong size, even though I’m sure I touched the right size cost me £6 so not good value, by the time I ordered correct size postage x 2, return fee x1 my £19 value cost me £28. Wouldn’t be in a hurry to order again when so many places offer free postage and returns.

Lost parcel and no one will help me

Paid for next day delivery but 14 days later still no trainers and no one is really dealing with the problem as apparently they were dispatched by a different company on behalf of sole trader - who knew? I keep emailing but get very limited responses- evri website now says there is a problem with the parcel so I should contact sole trader but it doesn’t say what you do if you have contacted sole trader already. Not impressed at all

I ordered from here and a week later still didn't receive item. Poor communication. Cancelled order in the end. No live chat just messages.
