Escentual beauty website- legit?

TheMightyMing · 08/12/2015 14:36

I am treating myself to some perfume and the prices on this site are very competitive. Is it a legitimate site and has anyone ever used them? Thanks

Escentual customer service is very unprofessional and in their e mail I have felt like they where implying that I am stupid when I did not agree with they way of resolving issues. When I have asked for refund they didn't bother to inform me in any way that the cream has been refunded.
Customers of escentual if you receive damaged product they will ask you to send it back (if it get lost in mail you loose your money because the are not responsible for lost goods) and when they receive it eventually they will send you another product so generally it is quite long process and hassle before you receive it.

Meh, I've used them for years to repeat buy skincare products and never had a single problem.

Celina13 · 15/09/2018 15:43

I believe that you are working in escentual and replying to all bad reviews which I have found A LOT, under different nick names.
This thread is obout telling people their experiences not answering on bad reviews in the same disrespectful way as they poor customer service.

nothingwittyhere · 15/09/2018 15:44

Ditto. And I'm not sure you're describing poor service, just normal service.

MrsChollySawcutt · 15/09/2018 15:57

Sorry who are you accusing of working for the retailer? You are barking right up the wrong tree there!

As previous poster says what you are describing is a standards returns process for a bricks and mortar business transacting over the internet.

You sound unhinged.

nothingwittyhere · 15/09/2018 16:05

Commuting between Yorkshire and Cardiff does take a toll...
You do sound unhinged.

I can't vouch for their customer service but I work for a large premium makeup brand that sells to them as a retailer.

Their products are legit, everything else I can't comment as I have never used them as a customer.

Celina13 · 15/09/2018 18:13

nothingwittyhere how do you know what service I have received unless you work in escentual?
MrsChollySawcutt 'Sorry who are you accusing of working for the retailer? ' for me you sound unhinged. I was describing service I have received, not accusing anyone. Do you mind not arguing about my experience. Let potential clients decide themselves whether will they buy anything from this crappy company...

Chanelprincess · 15/09/2018 18:41

I've used them many times with no problems. I assume this is the owner who looks very reputable:

escoteric - what do you mean by your comment 'run by R.K Aggrawal Ltd. (say it all)'?

Judydreamsofhorses · 15/09/2018 19:03

I’ve bought loads from them, never, ever had an issue.

ForSaleChesterDraws · 15/09/2018 19:11

Another one asking for clarification on what the comment “is run by R.K Aggrawal Ltd. (say it all)” means.

Long time mumsnet poster here, used them quite a few times and never had an issue.

NiceUnusualDifferent · 15/09/2018 20:09

Use them very regularly, my preferred online retailer actually. Never ever had an issue

Bugjune · 15/09/2018 21:01

Use them a couple if times every month. All items were genuine, delivered in a couple of days. One of the best online beauty retailers out there, Allbeauty being another excellent one.

mentalmickey · 15/09/2018 21:59

Also used them loads of times and never had a problem

Bluelady · 15/09/2018 22:19

I buy all my French pharmaceutical skin care from them. Can't recommend them too highly.

laramara · 16/09/2018 19:25

I use them regularly for French products and have always been totally impressed with their great service and prices, highly recommend!

JoeMaplin · 16/09/2018 19:37

Ive used them loads to order la Roche products.

Yes. Used them for years and even had a delivery from them today. Delivery is pretty quick too.
