Oodies!! Poor in every way

Just received a oodie dressing down,arrived late and what arrived was thin, creased, poor shape..i emailed weeks ago, no reply, other orders are outstanding, no idea when I'll receive them and now I have emailed customer service to request a return, they probably won't reply until the new year. I'm not joking or over exaggerating, this was supper to be buttery soft, thick and cost just like the hoodies. It was thin. I'm.juat ranting.

Oodies are made in china, so why wouldn't they come from china

  • 'We despatch orders from various fulfillment centers within the UK based on the Oodie items, aiming for the quickest delivery. Please note that delays vary, and despatch times differ.'

From https://theoodie.co.uk/pages/shipping-notice

That's why it wouldn't come direct from China

There's no way that's a real Oodie that you've described.

Zanatdy · 14/12/2023 06:09

Get one from primark. Plenty in there

kidsandpuppies · 14/12/2023 06:04

I have one of these, it's not an Oodie, but it's good. I keep the heat down so I wear it when I'm WFH, it's very soft and warm. https://www.costco.co.uk/Jewellery-Accessories-Clothing/Clothing/The-Comfy-Original-Wearable-Blanket-in-3-Colours/p/1281486

I got my dressing gown last year from oodie. I didn't have an oodie but loved the design. I'll admit when I first got it I was a little disappointed but actually wearing it I realised it's much warmer than I initially thought. It's great to wear for WFH instead of putting the heating on

I have 2 oodies, both from oodie... one is significantly thicker and cosier than the other. They both get lots of wear so not terrible quality.
I did email them and sent photos etc but in the end cba sending it back. In future I'd be inclined to buy a different brand for half the price.

there was a bit on The One Show BBC 1 programme about Oodies this evening (13 Dec) on the Watchdog bit of the programme - about huge delays in shipping that have been caused by massive black friday purchasing. its probably on catch up if you can be bothered.

ScrummyDiva2 · 12/12/2023 16:36

There's no padlock symbol at the start of the website address on your screenshot OP - surely that means it's fake??

Autleigh · 12/12/2023 16:26

I ordered some from a website called trueface and they are brilliant and so cheap compared to other places, especially with it being so cold now.

I bought an Oodie in their sale. It's so thick and warm compared to our other fake oodies from M&S etc, I actually gave mine to DH as it is too warm for me. Send it back if it's not right OP.

This is why I haven’t bought one, they look too warm. I have an ankle length one that is thinner but keeps my body warm.

Looking at the site I think the dressing gowns are thinner than the hoodies (don't have the same fleecy lining).

Description for the Oodie
Every Oodie is made from toasty-warm sherpa fleece on the inside and buttery-soft, ToastyTek™ flannel fleece on the outside.

For the dressing gown
A deliciously cuddly and soft fleece with a brushed inner.

Edited

Their trademarking of ToastyTek made me giggle. Wonder which marketing manager came up with that.

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 12/12/2023 15:25

Can't believe they're still having these shipping issues. I ordered 2 or three that Christmas when there was all that hold up in France getting stuff in the country, I ended up cancelling the whole order as I wasn't going to get it before Xmas (they couldn't even confirm I'd get them after Xmas if I remember rightly).

User2856948 · 12/12/2023 15:24

Just looked at the Trustpilot link above, Oh dear...

These are good. And not quite as expensive!

Try returning it. Or contact the store you bought it from. It can't possibly be a real one

rosyglowcondition · 12/12/2023 14:48

The real Oodies are massively thick and heavy. Swamps me.

carkerpartridge · 12/12/2023 14:26

I'm obviously getting Oodie adverts now on MN. If anyone else can see the adverts, I think the type of dressing gown I got is the type that shows a discount of 58% whereas the fluffier ones have 40% off.

Canisaysomething · 12/12/2023 14:25

They’re made of 100% plastic fluff, absolutely horrible things and awful for the environment and the air that you breathe.

carkerpartridge · 12/12/2023 14:21

Op I think I may have the same problem with dressing gowns. I have bought 2 in the sales recently and am sure that they were from the real website. I got a flowery one and an avocado one. They are both much thinner than I would have expected, they are very creased and there are a few loose threads. I remember thinking that the photos on the website made some of the dressing gowns look a bit lacking in fluffiness!

I am sure (as I can be) that they are from the genuine website because I went through Topcashback and have a record of my purchase on the Topcashback website. When they were delivered they were vacuum packed and then were inside orange bags.

The label on the pocket says Oo. Does anyone know if this is genuine as I have nothing to compare it with!

porridgeisbae · 12/12/2023 14:09

I don't think there is such a thing a real and knockoff for Oodies

Of course there is. There's a knock off for everything. OP says hers is from China- I don't think a real Oodie would be.

Yes the sort of thing somewhat existed before, but the Oodie popularised it.

BrownTableMat · 12/12/2023 14:08

If you look at trustpilot ALL their recent reviews, hundreds of them, are 1 star. Whatever they used to be, they’re clearly not coping with the Black Friday rush but they’re still offering lots of cut price deals and taking new orders, which is really bad form in my book. I’d never order from them.

Wheresthebeach · 12/12/2023 14:04

Just return them if you're unhappy.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/12/2023 13:52

I'm sorry but I think you've ordered from a fake website
I bought DS1 his last Christmas and it's literally so heavy It drags me down!
