Chums did refunded for the item I never received. I do believe chums did send the item, it was their delivery operator, Evri is the issue. Evri has “delivered” my items to me. I live in a bl... See more

Trainers were said to be wide fitting but not very. Undersold is bassed on some sort of grid which you can feel as you walk, trainer needs an insole to be more comfotable

I was due 2 refunds of £20 each

I was due 2 refunds of £20 each. Was accused of not returning items until I emailed them the return tracking details from Evry. Even then only ever received one refund of £20 and because of their incompetence I have given up and told them if they ever find where they sent the aledged second refund to they can give it to a charity of their choice but I will never purchase anything from Chums ever again. Shockingly poor and incompent customer service team.

Slow to dispatch

Slow to dispatch. Conflicting information on website, ie delivery 3-5 days, then once ordered email stated dispatch 3-5 days. Arrived 8 days after order.

Since I ordered from Chums have been swamped with spam emails.

Way back in April I posted the order…

Way back in April I posted the order form for 2 nightdresses and 2 bras with a cheque for 45.00.
The cheque was cashed by Chums on the 6th May 2025 but no order had arrived.
We are now middle of October 2025 and still nothing despite writing asking either for goods or refund of 45.00.
They completely ignore letters.
A friend of mine said she wished id never ordered as she had experienced returning a pair of trousers and trying to get a refund. It cost her over 8.00 in phone calls before finally getting her money back.
Having now read all the reviews I'm seeing how disgusting this company is.
Please do not have anything to do with them and throw that nasty little catalogue that's tucked into TV magazines straigh into the bin where it belongs

Delivery is awful!

My second order with this company. My first was OK, it arrived fairly quickly, so I thought I would send in another order as I am updating my wardrobe. I usually use other online companies, but Chums sell the trousers my husband wears.

What a mistake! One part of my order has arrived, but where is the second??? Their delivery is so slow! On the same day as I ordered from them, I sent in an order to two other companies and the parcels arrived within two days. I just looked on their website and it says that delivery can take up to 28 days! Hopefully my husband's trousers will arrive at some point, but this will be my last order.

awful

After two weeks, I still haven’t received my order. I never even got an order confirmation email — it feels like nothing was processed at all. I’m honestly questioning what kind of business this is. At this point, I’m just dreading the refund process, because if this is how they handle orders, I’m not confident I’ll ever see my money back. Extremely disappointed.

Awful company to deal with

Awful company to deal with. Took payment through PayPal and never sent confirmation of order. Happy to take my money and then claimed no order was placed. Lucky enough I used PayPal to get money back

Avoid this company

Avoid this company. I ordered once from this outfit and now I'm getting spammed by someone claiming to represent Chums. I tried to report the problem to Chums, but my email got bounced.

All incoming emails from the spammer now being forwarded to the UK Government phishing site.

Just awful

Just awful
My mum Placed an order for some slippers, returned them and she is still waiting for a refund one month later. She called them (note it’s not a freephone number and is expensive after being on hold for ages) they said they had found the items, yet no refund has happened. She then got taken into hospital so I tried to email them for a refund and they started spouting data protection and claiming she needed to call them as email doesn’t match. We have still not had a refund. Truly dreadful please don’t order

Exchange shoes and a returns label

Requested exchange for larger size shoes and returns label as original damaged. This was emailed to me and I received the replacement 7 days after I posted the return. Very pleased with the service and the shoes.

Honestly, don't bother, unless you're not in a hurry!

Have just chased an order with customer services whilst being charged at 13p per minute. They couldn't even find my account or order for several minutes. Order was placed 14th September, four working days later the status hadn't changed and no notification of dispatch. I've finally been told that the order has been released to the warehouse and we should have it by the end of next week which will be almost two weeks since placing the order! Absolutely shocking service. The order is for my 90 year old mum for her nieces wedding. I wish we hadn't bothered as getting a refund seems like it's going to be an uphill struggle too!

Zero customer service

Been using Chums for years with no issues, however my latest, and my last, order shows zero customer service.
Ordered curtain & bed linen on 10 August, to be sent by Evri (a heart sinking moment)
Evri contact me the following week to say they had lost the parcel. If they can’t find it after 10 days I have to contact Chums and deal with it.
I contact Chums and they tell me that Evri alleged I had told them I didn’t want the order and they were waiting on the package being returned. I have never indicated to Evri I didn’t want the package, I have paid for goods and expect them to be delivered.
I will not get a refund until they get the package back – this is the 'lost' package that Evri can’t find, leaving me out of pocket.
Chums customer service continued to be totally unhelpful, and say I have to wait another 10 days before they can do anything – that was in a call to them in early September. Seem to believe Evri’s false allegation re me not wanting the goods, rather than offer any customer support.
2 emails to their CEO’s office did not get a reply.
I ended up contacting my card provider with a view to getting a chargeback. If that fails, I guess it will be the small claims court.
Will not be dealing with this company again.

Do yourself a favour order elsewhere!

Do yourself a favour...order elsewhere!!
Ordered a pair of jeans. They still have not left the warehouse but can not be cancelled I have to have them delivered to send back...pha!
Then they charge you premium rate to call the customer services who cant help you or hear you properly...thus a call just cost me a further tenner...Jeans now at a cost of £45.95...
Ah well lesson learnt.
