DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE UPDATE: Please read negative reviews before using this company - those reviews are genuine and accurate. - Response given is far removed from the facts and accuses me of dishonesty, now in a public forum (which is defamatory). "Marcus'" attempts to gaslight me appear to match the experiences of other customers: another reviewer experienced the same notwithstanding the fact that he was buying clothing for a charity. - Still, no one from the company has contacted me by telephone. I have only received hostile and defensive correspondence in writing. It is alarming that this company will not treat its customers with human dignity, especially after Bruce Elliot was so eager for me to submit the order and transfer the price. Original review: - Bruce Elliot was extremely swift to contact me as soon as I’d requested call back from website - I gave express instructions regarding our design - I paid £412 - the shirts were significantly different to the design. The difference went beyond an acceptable margin of difference as indicated in the Ts&Cs - the colours of the shirts bled on washing when washed in accordance with washing instructions - Bruce Elliot has ignored all of my correspondence since problems arose - his team have responded defensively and evasively, asserting without basis that the shirts comply with the design and that the fabrics did not bleed on washing - effectively accusing me of dishonesty - his team have refused to send me a refund and have demanded I ship the shirts to Hong Kong at my own expense despite my explanation that this puts me at unacceptable risk I have been in correspondence with this team for over a month to no avail.
Response from Clifton ClothingJun 13, 2022
Hi Cecily I have reviewed each issue raised and see that you have been in direct email correspondence with two members of our customer service team who have replied quickly to every message quickly and with friendliness. Not a single message has been ignored. The facts are the shirts were ordered and delivered to you within 2 weeks of order approval, on receipt you advised the design did not match the order pack. This was checked and found not to be the case, it was communicated back to you that all the details were exactly as per the approved order pack but regardless an offer was made for you to return the shirts and we could make a fresh batch for you in a different design, as a gesture of goodwill. Unhappy with this response it was at this point you 'discovered' further issues and made threats of legal action and online reprisals should we not refund you without you returning the shirts which it was clear at this point you had used. As our quality control process is robust - the fabric for each order is steam-treated before production to ensure shrink and colour fastness - we have great faith in the quality of our products but have still also tested the same fabric used for your since your complaint and cannot replicate the claimed issue. We are proud to make shirts for thousands of customers around the world - from large businesses to small polo teams and fashion labels - we always work with our customers to ensure satisfaction however in cases where unreasonable demands are made we must draw a line in the sand and move on. Best regards, Marcus
