Very much in the mould of "customers should just pay and shut up. Don't bother trying to contact us if you have a problem, we're not interested". If you're in any doubt as to the suitability of the item you're looking at online then don't bother. They have a business to run, no time for paying attention to customer service or consumer legislation around refunds etc.
The basket we received just wasn't of the quality it had appeared to be online. Let them know we were sending back, at our own expense, within a couple of days of receiving the item. Tracked delivery has been with them for over 3 weeks and we haven't had a single response to any of the chaser emails we've sent. Now in the hands of Paypal.

Non existent customer support and poor item

Wanted a 2 drawer side table and emailed multiple times asking when it would be available. Heard nothing back. Ended up ordering the 1 drawer side table. Contacted to ask when it would be delivered and heard nothing. Literally non-existent customer support. The side table delivered also looks very cheap for the price. No back board and very flimsy. Would not order from them again.

Avoid at all costs

Bought a table. The screws wouldn't screw in properly. I returned it via courier which was delivered to them on 24th June. Their return policy states you will be refunded within 3 working days. I have never received a refund yet nor any answers to my emails. It is now with my bank for a dispute. The furniture is cheap and awful please do not waste your money and time with this company.

I have had a similar experience to another customer. I received a battered and broken lamp shade and a cracked ceramic lamp base. I emailed and received an apologetic response but they sent me a faulty link for a free return. There is no phone number so you cannot speak to anyone and they have not responded to further emails from me!

Their wooden items are not wooden & very poorly constructed. I purchased a little stool that has little chips of wood stuff into the leg joints. It is wobbly.

The China products are pretty & im happy with them. I was refunded the money for missing items so that’s good but no correspondence about the shoddy wooden item. Packaging was very damaged but thankfully my items weren’t crushed.

Please avoid using this company

Please avoid using this company. I purchased a small table and two of the legs arrived damaged. I sent photos clearly showing the damaged legs that were split and they came back and said they were not damaged or broken. I have been trying to get them to respond to emails for weeks and they just ignore you. Really bad customer service. Please do not waste your time or money. AVOID!

This customer is impossible, and please look at all the negative reviews she has posted. The lord almighty couldn't please her :)

Missing item no way of getting a response from shoddy customer service (there is none!).
I ordered a few pieces and small items which arrived well packed and in good condition, and I was pleased with my order. However one item was missing so I promptly emailed customer service and did not receive a response. In total I tried 6 times to contact them and then I gave up. Essentially this is stealing from customers which makes me mad because I saved so hard to have a little spend on a company that looked so lovely. Honestly, my mistake for not looking at all of the previous negative reviews. Sadly, this company laughably wrote a response to one review stating that they did not care about receiving negative reviews… oh dear, don’t be so up yourselves!
PLEASE AVOID as it does feel a little scammy ☹️

Extremely Disappointing Experience

Extremely Disappointing Experience

I had a very negative experience with this company. The item I received arrived severely damaged, which was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I immediately contacted their customer service to report the issue and request a resolution, but I never received any response—no acknowledgment, apology, or assistance of any kind.

The lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable for any business. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company and will not be ordering from them again. I strongly advise others to exercise caution before making a purchase.

Ordered an item

Ordered an item, took quite a long time to arrive and it transfered colour onto my towels. Emailed to say I would be returning - no response. Reurned by RM and tracked the delivery. Arrived on 20th Jan - still no refund. No response to emails, or questions on FB. Now having to contact trading standards to report them. Really is a terrible company.

Dreadful experience

I came here to share some rather negative feedback about my dealings with this company, to find that the last reviewer had experienced very similar issues ... I ordered 2 lamps that were a darker colour than I had anticipated on arrival and so returned them for a refund. One was promptly refunded, but the company claimed that one of the lamps had arrived back to them damaged, the shade had been crushed. They said they would keep it for a week if I wanted to collect it from them. I asked if they could organise to send it if I paid for the postage, but they refused to help. I did arrange collection so that at least I could use the undamaged lamp base . Sadly it was not packed properly for the return. One lamp was placed in a box that had previously held 2 with no packaging. it was free to slide around and was consequently smashed to pieces. I have paid out £65 plus return postage of £20 and have nothing to show for it.
The company will not take calls and can not be contacted via social media.They communicate only by email and do not always respond. I would never purchase from them again and would advise to avoid. I will be reporting to trading standards.

I think I have been scammed!

I think I have been scammed! I returned a number of items to this company but one was 'apparently' damaged in transit. They said they could not refund me for this item (and I appreciated their position on this) - so I asked that they simply send it back to me so I could use it. It had a small chip in it and I thought rather than waste the £60 that the item cost, I could get it back and repair it myself - and then use it. I requested this - and this is the response: 'We are not disputing that you own the lamp and if you wish us to return the lamp to you there will be an administration fee of £27 and a postage charge of £48. You can also arrange a courier to collect your goods between the hours of 9 and 12am Monday to Friday. We also rescind our offer of free storage and a fee of £7.80 will be incurred for everyday that YOUR item is stored in our warehouse facility starting today. Alternatively we can place this item out side and your courier can collect from the door step at any time.'
Golly - someone very angry is typing this response - it is extraordinary that they wish to charge me storage for an item that has been returned to them (it is a small lamp btw) and equally odd that to send it back to me will cost more than the value of the lamp. Over £65. I am a busy person so I will not be disputing any of this - I don't have time. I will write off my £60 and am walking away with the very complete loss of faith in human nature and this company. I ask any reader to think very carefully before placing an order with this company - they are definitely most unpleasant, and I am beginning to think also dishonest.

Do not buy from this website.

Ordered a basket and table. Had to return the table but owner would not communicate so I went ahead and send the table back as per their returns policy - EVRI could not deliver as unit was never open. Despite several emails the owner would not reply. Had to put a claim in via EVRI, could job I took out insurance. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE!

Je n’ai jamais reçu la commande passée , ni suivi ni confirmation . J’ai contacté le service client voilà la réponse !! On me traite d’idiote mais en attendant mon argent lui a été encaissé …Je suis écœurée de cette façon de traiter les gens ! I never received the order placed, neither tracking nor confirmation.

DISAPPOINTED AND BEMUSED!

Ordered two items from website and paid with Pay Pal. Total cost £25.95 including postage. The following day, I received confirmation from Pay Pal that I had received a refund of £20.95 which is a shortfall of £5.00 from The White Lighthouse Company with no explanation. No communication about my order or why a refund was made albeit a partial one. I have tried to contact them by phone but a recorded message tells you to email with any queries. I have done this but so far, no response. Really cheeky!
