“First experience was amazing!”

To be honest, I was a little nervous to order from Farfetch because I read some mixed reviews. However, I took a chance and it worked out really well. My order came from the UK to Canada and got here surprisingly quick and the product was just as I imagined it would be. The entire experience was awesome.

“Empty box from Fatfetch”

I've purchased and items from this awful platform whiere you will have a problem with switching language to english, in case you a shipping to italy you have to speak italian they think. So, instead of Stone Island shirt I received an empty box and after submitting a claim to Farfetch, they simply answered that all was OK and they didnt noticed any problem with my order. Really? So where is a shirt? I dont recommend this shop. Their service and client orientation is getting worse day by day.

Ordered heels, they arrived damaged. Wanted to try again, and now they won't match the price as prices went up. So they are forcing me to spend more

Ordered a pair of shoes that supposedly were coming from Italy. The ordered never arrived supposedly cause it got damaged and two months later, I'm still trying to get a refund. Tried to dispute the charge through my bank and they lied to the bank saying that they had delivered the ordered when they even sent me emails that the order was NOT going to get delivered. Anyways, frustrating, still waiting for the refund and I do NOT recommend ordering anything from them.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use it. Not worth it. If something happens to your package, Farfetch does not take responsibility.

Im absolutely satisfied ordering via Farfetch. They provide excellent range of best brands, great range of good quality products and perfect Customer Service support. Also they are perfect in packaging, fast shipping, easy returns and refunds in short period of time. Alsom I highly appreciate that when some article Im interested in come back on stock again, in size that fits me - they send the note to be able to make an order.

Do not use this company…ordered a shirt which was large….spent the last 3 months trying to exchange it for a medium but met nothing but resistance and excuses despite returning it by recorded delivery within days.
I don't believe they have any after sales service just someone behind a keyboard who just confirms how unhelpful the company is!

Watch out for these scammers!

After online shopping for over 20 years I never experienced such a bad after sale service!

No service after sale at all!
I returned my package with the DHL service and it seems somehow the package went missing!
I have proof of return, but Farfetch put practically NONE of effort to solve this case. Very de-shaming company where they put everything but the customer first! I barely get respons of them. While its absolutely their responsibility to contact the delivery service to find out what happend.
I still did not received any refund so far ( €137)
If they wont take their responsibility soon, I will definitely take further steps myself to solve this case!

Update: after more then a month of "investigating" I did get my refund. Took a long time but after all the case is solved..

I have been an early and loyal Farfetch customer since 2014 and have bought the majority of my clothes & shoes through them.
I recently made a purchase that was not delivered to me.
Fedex claims they delivered the product to my door and I signed for it. This is false and has never happened in my 20 yrs of ordering online. Farfetch is refusing to refund me for the package which was not delivered by their selected courier, despite my track record and historical spend.
This is NOT a business that can be trusted.

Tip for consumers:
Caution before you purchase.
I have been a loyal customer for 7 years and have recently submitted a claim for a product they shipped but was not delivered. Farfetch refuses to reimburse me.
If they ship your product and it does not arrive to you they will not refund you for the product not delivered.
Customer service and ethics are completely unacceptable.

Farfetch cancelled my order saying I requested it. When I called customer service they said it was cancelled because they don't deliver to my address even though I made several previous orders to the same address. Also they could not give a valid reason for not contacting me prior to making the cancellation without my authorization.

Tip for consumers:
Customer service is rude and unhelpful.

Shipping was good. Packaging could have been better. Overall i am happy with the purchase. Expected the jeans to be bit more thicker material, but they are very thin material to feel in hand. Especially for being a GOLD member shipping should be free, but they still charge a fee for the postage.

I have bought a lot of expensive items via Farfetch and always had good experience. That was only until they had to take responsibility though.

In short I bought several identical t-shirts in different colors only a few months ago and one of them has an obvious manufacturing flaw which got a lot worse the first time I used and washed it. After a lot of (stupid and unnescessary) questions which I answered the initial response was I could get 10% off a new shirt. What a joke! Afterwards they closed the case due to them deciding it was wear and tear = no refund or new shirt.

So yes! The customer service and taking responsibility when not making money is indeed VERY FAR FETCHED! Shame on you.

My best advice is to do your shopping else where!

Two days from order to delivery- UK to Singapore!

Beautiful subtle colour silver belt with a slight crackle effect to the leather. I've been looking for a good quality wide silver belt for some time, delighted with this one and well worth the investment

Size medium was ample for my 31 inch waist-nice width, with approx 3 holes spare

Super Easy checkout process

Excellent communication from FARFETCH and up to date tracking

I ordered a sweatshirt from Farfetch on Wednesday that was being fulfilled in Italy. It was at a discount and i was not in a hurry to receive it so i chose standard shipping for my order. The next day i received a notification that the order was going through customs in Italy. My expectations of when i would receive my order were around 11-15 March. The next day it was on my door step by noon. Unbelievable! And it matched all my expectations.

The service and quality of the products deteriorates each time I order. I returned my order over a month ago and sent three emails asking for a status update but no response and unsurprisingly my refund hasn't come in. They treat me like garbage despite being a high access member. I'm worried how new customers will be treated.

I ordered some shoes off their website. They were never delivered. FARFETCH REFUSED TO submit a claim to FedEx and told me it's my loss. I contacted FedEx they said the company refused to submit a claim, to go to the local police and file a police report. I'm literally fighting to get my $820 back. DO NOT SHOP WITH THEM! I promise you will regret it!

I believe the items are genuine and generally come well packaged. But the pricing algorithm annoys me. I had something in my cart, and in the next 10 minutes the price for the one size I had in my cart had gone up $40. All other sizes remained the previous price. Sneaky.

I use Farfetch because it's where I can buy the best quality products and all of my favorite brands in one place. It offers great deals and there are always items on sale from the world known brands for half a price. My recent purchase was Marc Jacobs Boho Grind Mini Bag with a 40% discount, which means a lot for Mark Jacobs! I wanted to buy this bag for a long time and was pleasantly surprised to see a way cheaper option. Delivery was super fast as well! Highly recommend :)

My my experience with the shipping company was poor, they lack and responsibility, they refused to deliver it to me at home and told me to meet up somewhere closer to the driver. I paid a lot of money for the heels The least thing I expect is having a professional shipping company to deliver it to me at my home. I don't need to keep on calling the shipping company so they allow it to happen rather than doing the job correctly. I am not pleased with my experience.

I did not receive the product I ordered as pictured on their site. I wanted a xs different styled balenciaga tote but did not receive what I ordered. I received an XXS tote (not the size or style I ordered) The actual product on the balenciaga site is 1150 but I paid 1350 on Farfetch? Bad business. Never shopping again. Scammed me out of 200!

Totally unreliable
The company does not stand by their customers. My package was lost by DHL, it was a very clear situation, but after almost three weeks of "investigation", I was told that they cannot refund my purchase that I never received

Tip for consumers:
If you buy from Farfetch, you risk of never getting your purchase and loosing your money, because they do not support their customers.

I ended up without any products, and without the money that I paid

I received my item and after one use, the threading of my pants began coming loose. These were Dolce & Gabbana pants so about $400 - not what I would expect for this price tag! I contact customer service immediately. I didn't even want a refund, just a replacement. They told me they can refund 10% or speak with "partner boutique" for resolution. After 3 weeks of waiting to hear back, they told me they cannot do anything as this is a result of normal wear and tear. I have $20 pants that last me years but somehow they can say 1 use is wear and tear and makes it ok for them to start ripping apart. SHAMEFUL! Also - the material is VERY thin, you can see see through them. A part of me wonders if these are FAKE designer pants. I will never purchase from this company again and anyone that's thinking about it. LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Do not buy from this company!!

I bought shoes which come damaged. More than 20 days customer support had not help me. Most of time they just didnt answer to my emails.

At the end they send a courier to me to return the shoes and receive my money - of course for that luxury I had to pay the shipping cost, VAT etc for the first shipping.

Never never again!

Absolutely bul$#*!!

There are a lot of better sites in EU - with an original items and perfect customer support.

Ordered a coat online, they had it in every size. Used promo code because im first time buyer. Ofcourse after 4 days of not receiving any mail. They cancel my order (not in stock anymore) and gave me refund. On the same site but delivery for other countries, the coat is pretty much in stock. So I guess they prioritise the ones who pay full price, but have your money and order pending just in case. Worst experience. Will never order again!

Q&A (90)

Question:

Hey i would like to order a designer handbag from farfetch, i have never ordered from them before, is it a safe site to order from?

Answer:

In my experience, as far as genuine items go, yes. My recommendation to you is, research the store you're buying from, because your experience can be 0 or 5 stars depending who you're buying from. I bought a new Valentino bag and received an used one from a store called Gente Roma. Farfetch did nothing other than contact the store and politely reply back to me that there was nothing they could do about it! They made the sale, they're making money off me, off course they should have done something. Nope. I could return the bag, which was an option regardless. Gente Roma was so disonest about the condition of the bag, I was afraid they would blame me for sending back a used bag and only give me a patial refund. I felt my safest option was to keep the bag. On the other hand, when I bought a pair of Valentino shoes from Exelsior Milano my experience was flawless. From the fast shipping, to the packaging to shoes that had never been opened. Moral to the story: if Farfetch doesn't have to get involved, you're golden. If not, don't bother with them. Call the Pope or your credit card and dispute your charges instead. You'll have a better chance of getting something.

Question:

I'm kind of confused i saw a bag on far fetch website it's actually a pink versace backpack. the day i added into my cart the price was about $800 range and i was so extremely happy to check out and purchase the bag. as soon as i clicked check out the price went all the way up. i'm very confused as to why the price changes every time i go to check out. i'm worried about the site being a scam but really want this bag and read some of the good reviews trying to look past the negative ones.

Answer:

Hello Gabriella, Thank you for reaching out with this important question. We are so sorry if you are finding that our pricing structure is not clear. Farfetch is a marketplace web site with a global network of over 400 independent boutiques. Products are sometimes available in multiple locations. When an item is sourced from multiple boutiques, the Farfetch catalog will always present the lowest price for a specified size. While we urge them to price competitively, the ultimate choice lies with our partner boutiques. Therefore, you may see variations as you click into size information for each product. Furthermore, prices will vary for different regions of the world. Please ensure that you have selected the appropriate country for your delivery address. You will see a small flag in the upper right corner. Clicking on this will allow you to select your country. We do hope that this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact us directly on +213-550-3798 or +44 (0) 20 3510 0670. We are reachable 7 days a week. If there is anything that we can assist you with, or if you have any further questions, please dont hesitate to get in touch. Warm Regards, Farfetch

Question:

I ordered a pair of jimmy choo shoes but the pasting is visible and they look used as well. i can't decide whether they are genuine or not.

Answer:

Sorry I would not know. I am a man and shop almost exclusively Alexander McQueen. I have never had any issues with authenticity, or damaged/used goods. An interesting story though. On Black Friday weekend I purchased a Fendi briefcase at 50% off and then another 15% off with shipping at $20 CAN. They have since put the bag up to full price with the boutique that carries it, Fendi usually does not discount their permanent collection, so I got a bargain!
