I ordered £75 worth of goods over a week ago. It was indicated it would be delivered in 2-3 days. I have had the confirmation of my order and the money has been taken however I have not yet had an email advising the order has been dispatched. On my account it has been in the "packing" stage for over a week. I have tried to contact Firebox.com via phone (number not recognized - they've turned it off!), via email (no rely) and via whatsapp (no reply). A bunch of people not getting Christmas presents as it stands.
Edit: I’ve received three emails asking me to revise this review. Firebox seem
To be under the impression that this had a happy ending as the emails read “We would be happy if you considered updating your review after everything was done”. I’m not sure what they mean when they say “after everything was done”: The order came 8 days late. By which point the family members who had travelled five hours for a visit, and for whom the presents were intended, had travelled home so I was unable to give them to them. I had ordered them assuming the 2-3 day delivery would have been honoured which would have meant they arrived prior to my family members arrival. As i had received zero communication from firebox that the order had even been dispatched until the day before they arrived, I ordered alternative gifts for my family from a different retailer and paid to have them posted once they arrived (on time no less!) The parcel which eventually arrived from firebox was battered (I’ve attached a picture). I had to send three emails for advice on how to sort out a return and a refund. Ultimately they have worn me down and I do not have the energy or the headspace to go through the hassle of further correspondence with firebox so I will find a charity shop who can take the items. In short, they take your money, ignore you for ten days, you write an honest of review of their service, they send you a battered box after 11 days, then harass you to edit your review. I’m sure there have been plenty of people who have have positive experiences of firebox however I can see other reviews suggesting similar experiences of other customers in the run up to christmas. A gifts retailer that doesn’t have the infrastructure of couriers and customer service to handle the christmas period probably shouldn’t be a gift retailer.
