I love the necklace and I know my sister will too! What a great gift idea! The quality of the gift and customer service on top is second to none and I will definitely be ordering again. I am shocked by the negative reviews as I had to make an amendment to my order and the speed of response I received was great and I have now received my gift all in time for Christmas! Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

Excellent gift idea!
Wow what a great present! I am so glad I ordered early which was stated on their website and I have now such precious gifts for my family members for Christmas! I genuinely don’t understand the bad reviews which seem to be people not realising it is the festive period and there will be delays which is by no means this family run businesses fault! Excellent customer service chat and a great business idea thank you so much for the necklaces! I am super impressed with the quality of the products and I am thoroughly impressed with the speed of contact with the seller as well as the delivery (following the guidance on their website)

Ordered beginning of dec, no product arrived and now ignoring emails
I ordered on the 5 of December, still no
Sign of my necklace I ordered as a Christmas present for my mum. I’ve emailed three times, 1st was replied to basically a generic email saying it will be here for Christmas.. I doubt it as I don’t live in England. 2nd and 3rd email have been ignored. I’ve very disappointed at them and annoyed at myself for ordering the necklace before googling the company and reading the reviews. The money was taken from account right after I ordered and I doubt il get a refund ? Avoid this company if you’ve any sense
**updating review in reply
To custom items right to reply : I don’t See why you are taking on so many new orders when you can’t fulfil your current ones/delayed etc . I’m aware of busy Christmas periods however a bit of an update on the product status isn’t hard to do or a lot to ask Very unprofessional service from custom items, I don’t like leaving negative reviews on small business but when I feel I have to I will, others need to Know before they waste their time and hard earned money. M **
Ps: I think there are fake “positive “ reviews being added as they seem to appear once a negative appears. 🤣
*edited the second time in response to your reply on the 21 dec* I replied to your first reply last night, before I had a chance to check my email you sent right before your response on here. I don’t see a point in replying to emails as they are ignored anyway like my previous 2. Il take it at face value it has been dispatched like you said.. and il not be keeping my hopes up for a quick Delivery now. I just hope the product is nice on its eventual
Arrival to me.. Like I said I don’t like leave negative reviews on businesses but anyone reading this think before you order as customer service and communication isn’t a strong point of this small company and as someone else stated need to employ more people. I won’t be replying any more unless my product doesn’t arrive. Thankfully trust pilot is here to get a response from custom
Items.

Hello Megan,
Thank you for your review. We can see you placed your order on the 4th of December for a custom necklace. As stated on our website at the time of your order:
"Due to the popularity of this item, we are experiencing delays adding up to 5 working days to the creation of this item upon receiving your picture - please take this into consideration when ordering.
Once receiving your order, we will process it and ensure the image is of the right quality taking approx 2 working days. Once ready, we take approximately 5-7 working days to create the photo projection jewellery, and ship it out with an economic service via local courier which can take 3-5 working days".
We are currently on the 20th of December which is 11 working days after you placed your order meaning we are well within our processing and delivery times stated on the custom necklace product page at the time you placed your order.
We are experiencing a high amount of emails at the moment as you can probably imagine with Christmas coming up. As we are a relatively new, family run business we currently have a 3 day delay on emails. I can see that you first emailed on the 14th of December and you got a reply on the same day stating our delivery and processing times. You then messaged again on the 18th and again, today, on the 20th. Please be patient and allow us to respond to your emails as well as our other customers. We know it is very important for people to receive their gifts by Christmas or for other occasions as they are special sentimental items, and we really are trying our very best.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hope you enjoy your necklace when it arrives.
Once again, thanks for your feedback.
Best Wishes,

Hi Megan,
Thanks again for you second review. We can see that you chose to reply to us via review rather than via email.
We haven't "taken on so many new orders" when we "can't fulfil your current ones". Your order, is still well within our processing and delivery times stated at the time you placed your order.
In fact, your order has been dispatched and I have relayed this to you via email. Please check your inbox.
Best regards,

Negative Reviews Seem Unjust
I genuinely don't understand why this company has such bad reviews? The majority of these reviews must literally be the small percentage of people that things have gone wrong for.
I sent a query about my orders which didn't seem to make sense, which I received an email about within a reasonable time frame (I sent the email on a Friday, got a reply after the weekend).
I also had an issue with the tracking of the parcels, which has nothing to do with this company, but felt the need to mention in order to advise others. So here's my tip: when tracking, the Aftership app will forward you onto 4px to put in your tracking # etc - don't use this. I entered my tracking info and it wasn't finding my order. Instead, Google search 4px and use that. It's so much easier to use, it gives you a step by step tracking history so you can keep up with where abouts your order is. All round, just better.
I placed my orders at the end of November and received the second part of it today (20.12.21). Considering orders have to be processed, shipped overseas, and on top of that it's the run up to Christmas, I don't think that it's an unreasonable time frame for receiving my order. Patience is a virtue.
Thank you for my order, Custom Items. I'm glad I gave you a chance despite the reviews and sincerely hope others do the same.

Hello Joe,
Thank you very much for your kind and honest review. We really appreciate your understanding regarding email response times and you sharing your tracking tips.
We have just updated our tracking system so it should make things easier for future customers to track their orders as Aftership, you're right, is quite misleading!
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hope you enjoy your necklace!
Once again, thanks for your feedback.
Best Wishes,

Order issue resolved
After some problems contacting the company about the delivery address my item was being dispatched to they have fixed the problem.
I will amend to 5 star if the item does arrive. The person who helped me was polite and understanding and im happy with their response.
Thank you again.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your review. I can see that you placed your order on the 15th of December and you emailed when you noticed you had nominated an incorrect address on the 17th, which was after the item had been dispatched. The item was dispatched on the 16th (please see email for dispatch scan of parcel). However, we are very happy to work with you on this matter.
As you can imagine, we are currently experiencing a high volume of emails due to the Christmas period. Today (20th) we currently have a 3-day backlog of emails that we are working around the clock to respond to. As your first email arrived on the Friday 17th we had unfortunately not got around to answering it yet.
However, we have now emailed you in the hope to resolve this issue so that you receive your item to the correct address.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Once again, thanks for your feedback.
Best Wishes,
