I DON’T WANT CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAILS…

I DON’T WANT CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAILS WITH KISSES, I JUST WANT MY £400 BACK!!!

I never leave reviews but since this has been the worse shopping experience I have ever encountered I had to come on here to warn others with my own experience….

I ordered 2 dresses start of APRIL from ALB but neither dress was suitable when I tried them on. Returned using the portal as directed and posted back the next day. Received confirmation that the dresses were delivered and received by ALB with signature proof.
Waited the 14 days for refund but no still no money back. I sent email after email after email…. same responses over and over again every time …we need to check with the warehouse….experiencing delays… will escalate to the relevant team….please be patient ……I’ve been patient long enough - THIS IS NOW JUNE.

I have reported them (yet again from another customer they have failed to refund) to Trading Standards & I will proceed with legal action now to get back EVERY PENNY OF MINE that they have in their company’s purse and back into mine where it belongs!!!

ALB you are in breach of the UK Consumer Laws and you must know this!!!

Oh and I have reported this to BBC Watchdog, hopefully now the pile of complaints is enough for them to be investigated, shamed and shut down.

I am still waiting for my order to be dispatched, and it has now been over a month since I placed it. I have sent around 15 emails requesting an update, but I keep receiving the same automated response without any information about my order.

Appalling and disgusting service

I have used this company since 2021 and have bought some lovely pieces.
However the last time I ordered from them they were absolutely appalling
I think they have got too big for their boots even the owner Anne said she would sort out for me that day I never heard from her again. My friend had the same experience. They kept fobbing me off with an excuse why my dress had not arrived. Then said oh we haven’t now got in stock and had to beg for the money back. I was offered an alternative was ignored of my choice and then eventually got the money back! I said about compensation they sent me a £20 voucher that expires in July!
Absolutely appalling service and behaviour I would recommend for no one to buy from her site. Now living in Dubai living the fake life whilst her company is failing and not helping her loyalist customers….I will never give them my money again….Karma will prevail x

Where is my refund?

I've previously ordered a dress from this brand which was beautiful and arrived exactly as it should. I love it.

However, this time I have had a completely different experience. I purchased two dresses on 26th May with next day delivery, we are now 10th June and no sign of dispatch - the tracking still says preparing the order. The event I needed them for has come and gone, and now I'm left dealing with a chatbot customer service who won't give me any real answer or issue my refund.
Terrible experience. Avoid shopping from ALB Boutique.

very poor no refund and had dress sent back Royal Mail tracked photo perfect condition 21st April!!! Despite numerous emails keep getting fobbed off with ‘got to get update from warehouse’ rubbish from Lisa. Weeks since they’ve had dress back over 7 weeks and have broken statutory refund. Going to have to get my bank involved.

Terrible customer service

I ordered a dress in size large I’m a 12/14 when it arrived it was so small I couldn’t even zip it up so more like a small not large. I sent it back the next day and asked for the next size up but was charged £5 even though I wanted an exchange rather than a return. Over several days emails back and forward to customer services because no phone number chasing up replacement because I wanted the dress for holidays, I kept being told we have sent replacement to you. No replacement received then eventually I realised the replacement dress they said they had sent out to me was the original one I had sent back to them. 10 days later still no dress. Terrible customer service.

Absolutely shocking!!!

Absolutely shocking!!!! I ordered a dress, returned it immediately because it wss not how expected. They wouldn’t confirm they had received my return even though I had proof it had been returned by Royal Mail. I argued with them for days and days and days about this. Then finally they said your refund has been issued and can take up to 5 days to be with you.
We are now approximately 10 days on and I still don’t have it. I have asked for the complaints procedure 4 times and haven’t been provided it. I get the most infuriating emails from them.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

Most luxurious brand without the price tag

I have loved this brand ever since the start. The quality never compromises, I have so many staples from here and I can’t fault any of them 2-3 years later. Also super fast shipping - such a bonus when it’s last minute. The value for money is insane - will continue to shop here for a lot longer!!

I’ve had multiple orders and many items, such as cassinis and the bowie dress to name a few!! Never ever disappointed and it never fails to amaze me every single time.

Ordered a dress on the 22nd of February which they had said would ship on the 29th of March.
This has still not been delivered. I have asked them multiple times to refund me as the event I needed this for has passed. Everytime I email them, they are 'looking into it and will confirm shortly'.
Absolutely shocking service considering dress cost almost £400.
**UPDATE**As per below they told me to write them an email and they have not responded to it 24 hours later

I am still waiting for my dress after a month of ordering. Noone has answered my numerous emails my WhatsApp messages or I have even reached out on Instagram messages and commented on their posts to try and get a response. The dresses are not cheap and I could have apent my money elsewhere as I ordered it for my holiday. I am very disappointed.
UPDATE
I finally got hold of someone about 9 days ago and asked them to cancel my order which they said they would but 5 days later they dispatched it and its arrived today . I had to pay 78 euro custom charges even though I have to return it as it is too late. Now I am again trying to contact them to arrange a return but no-one is replying. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY also the answer they sent below is from a bot and the email doesn’t work

Awful service

Awful service. Ordered a wedding evening dress (white bow dress) in early April. It arrived and didn’t fit. I sent it back straight away and my item was signed for. Been in touch with the company multiple times- they send the same generated email saying they need to check in the warehouse if they have received it (over 14 days since signed for). Finally they replied to say they were processing the refund and to wait 5 working days. Shock. The refund never came in. Emailed further to say it hasn’t been processed and they said it has been sent to the finance team to review. Never in my life have I had this service with a company. AWFUL. Wish I had read the trust pilot reviews before purchasing. You cannot speak to an actual person and they do not reply to any questions just a computer generated reply. Their phone number is a WhatsApp with the same reply. They always reply the same reply to all the feedback on here with an email that doesn’t even deliver. My bank is now taking this further and I will continue to fight legally due to the outright cheek of this company.

Please do not buy from this company.
Please spread the word. The company uses influencers to promote their brand whilst providing really poor care to everyday people that they do not return their money to. Please continue to spread awareness so more people do not have to go through this.

Absolutely awful customer service

Absolutely awful customer service - I ordered the dresses in March, and I still have not received the items!
“Lisa” will respond to your first email, followed by the promise of escalating the issue to a specialist team, who never get back to you. I am 30 emails into a thread with “customer service.” I have begged for a refund multiple times. Absolutely ridiculous. Never ever buy from these scammers again!!

I ordered 2 dresses which are both beautiful, unfortunately one is a little tight on me - the cap sleeve Cassini (I am a size 10-12 and I ordered a M) and the other I realised would not be quite right for the function I was attending (pink legacy dress) so sadly I will need to return both but the quality and look of the dresses is incredible, I will 100% be making future purchases for my upcoming holiday at the end of the year.

Terrible

If there was an option to give zero I would. I purchased a dress in Jan 2026, and now in June 2026, I still have not received the dress or a refund. I’ve emailed numerous times and all I’m getting in return is a generic emailing informing me that the issue is being looked into. Absolutely terrible customer service. Would never purchase from this company again.
