Excellent Service

Ordered a hip flask for a birthday present just before the Bank Holiday. Asked for and received exactly what I ordered with super speedy delivery. Couldn't ask for better service

easy, perfect, excellent

I wanted to buy a hip flask as a birthday present but didn't know where to go. This web site was easy to use and had so many different sizes and designs at really good prices. With the engraving that came with it, it made the gift even more special I would efficiently recomend this to any friend looking for this as a present and option to go!

Staff prepared to go that extra mile

While visiting the UK I happened across this site and decided to order on line a hip flask with engravings, although I had left it a tad bit late for delivery the staff did a prompt service and I received my order as promised well within the standard times although 1 engraving was left of this didn't detract from the items beauty and staff where happy to reissue my order and post it out to me. This is an excellent company both one line and in their shop. I can recommend them full heartily to anyone.

Really poor, I won't be going back again.

16 days on from ordering the hip flask that I was promised would be with me in 3 and I have decided to cancel the goods as ordered. So much for it being in time for the birthday that I had telephoned and explained it was for, prior to ordering. I have not received what I ordered. What I did receive was incorrect, in a presentation/storage bag that was obviously made for something much larger, within a broken presentation box . The funnel provided was incredibly poor quality. I recieved no correspondence explaining the late delivery, the anticipated delivery or date of dispatch (which they state they will do) until I chased for the goods. The information I was given over the phone was either deliberately or incompetently wrong on each occasion. The delivery note accompanying what I did get was as the order, so no real excuses can be made. The re-sent presentation box and funnel sent as a consolation for the above arrived too damaged to be given as a gift. Unbelievably, the re-sent presentation box arrived empty of the hip flask ordered, which I still don't have and as such have cancelled. Apparently the box and flask come from different warehouses so if you order as a gift expecting them to come as one, be warned.
They do seem to have been capable of taking the money, I now await the refund of the difference, between what was ordered and what was provided, lets see if they can do that!
Overall I would say 2 out of 10 for effort, 0 out of 10 for satisfactory provision of what was ordered. My advice, go elsewhere unless you have far far more patience and time than me!

Sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with the service. We don't want anyone to be unhappy with the service that we provide and we'll discuss what's happened with your order at our next team meeting to work out how we can do better next time.

I understand you still have a flask that you'd received - I'm happy for you to keep that flask, and I'll process a full refund on your order now.

All the best.

Would happily recommend

Very happy with the flask and the crest engraving. It's the perfect gift for my Godfather's 60th birthday. I can't wait for him to see it.

Excellent Service, great product!

I purchased a hip flask for my dad's 60th birthday - and I am extremely happy with the product and the service I received. I needed it before the recommended time scale and they must of pulled out all the stops to get me the flask in time. I definitely wouldn't hesitate in using this company again or recommending them to friends and family.

Thank you very much buyahipfask.com

Fast service, shame about the packaging

Purchased a Welsh hipflask and requested a personalised message to be engraved. Needed it by 25 Apr, ordered it on 10 Apr and it arrived on 18 Apr. The hipflask / engraving looked great although the funnel looked very flimsy and cheap. However, the box it arrived in wasn't good enough to pass on, so I put the hipflask in the velvet bag and wrapped it. Emailed the customer services team and received this response "Thanks for your email with feedback on the box. It's usually quite a sturdy box, I'm sorry it didn't survive the journey to you. I'll ask the warehouse to look into this." Haven't heard anything since. A replacement box would have been welcome.

We have recently started using new boxes so it's interesting to hear this feedback. It is helpful and has been passed onto our warehouse team. This is actually the first damaged box we've experienced for this flask, so I'm feel this was unfortunately damaged in transit. It's something that we'll keep on eye on over the next few weeks.

The boxes are provided free of charge but on this occasion as you were unable to use the box or have a replacement in time, I've arranged a refund for the presentation box.

Still not received goods

My concerns aren't related to buyahipflask but with the firm you use to deliver your goods - ie, royal mail. It may be that you need to review the service they provide. I was concerned that I hadn't received my goods (which are a birthday present so early receipt is important to me) and I mailed you to see if you could tell me where they were. Apparently Royal Mail had sent them back to your warehouse because they couldn't deliver them!!! I would have thought that a note/card through the door saying the goods had tried to be delivered and giving us the opportunity to either collect from the main post office or arrange an alternative delivery date is the very least we could have expected. As far as I can see, being unable to deliver, not telling the customer and then returning the goods to the supplier is really bad customer service. I know when I do receive these goods I will be very pleased with them, but I do think you need to re-assess what your expectations are of Royal Mail when dealing with your customers - or alternatively start to use a reliable courier service. In the meantime, I just hope my goods now arrive in time!!

Unfortunately Royal Mail were unable to deliver this parcel. The parcel was returned to sender and we've sent this back out.

Free shipping will usually be Royal Mail 1st Class Standard but tracked options are available at checkout for an additional cost.

Hope this at least helps future customers who may see this review.

Outstanding after-sales service!

I bought a hipflask for a christening and I noticed there was a small mistake on the personalised inscription. When I pointed out the mistake to Buyahipflask.com by email, their response was immediate and I was told to send back the hipflask whilst they arranged for a new one to be sent out to me. I received the new hipflask with the revised, correct, inscription within days of my email. A few days later, they sent me another email saying that they have credited me in full for the cost of the return postage.

The after-sales customer service was excellent, and I'm delighted with the new hipflask which the company had ensured that it arrived in very good time for my God son's christening.

Late

I needed it for a deadline, which I was told you could meet, but failed to do so.
The product is fine and as specified, but your failure to keep your word on delivery, means I can't rate you higher than a two.

I'm sorry to hear the flask was not with you in time. We had sent this in 3 working days which is faster than the 4-5 days it usually takes to make this up. Also sending it by Special Delivery as requested to speed this up. It's disappointing to hear this has let you down, but I'm happy to hear that you were pleased with the flask received. ~Rach
