Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service I purchased a pair of Monty-Lo shoes on 9th September and understood there would be a wait time, however I was advised this would be mid-Oct. Since then I have had to reach out to Ridgemont a total of 5 times myself to be updated on my order, as they seem incapable of updating their customers after they have taken payment. First response (9th Nov) advised that Customs were holding up the vessel but I would receive delivery that week. Next communication (15th Nov) advised that the last email was a “mix up” and the shoes weren’t in fact due to arrive until late Nov, so I should expect delivery beginning of Dec. Chased again (2nd Dec) advised there was now a delay at the factory but delivery date to the port would be 6th Dec and I would have the shoes the week of the 7th, however next email (12th Dec) stated that the shoes still hadn’t arrived at the port but were expected early the following week...reached out again (19th Dec) and as expected... told they are delayed until 27th Dec! Serious lack of proactive communication with no regard for the customer, with one email starting with “super apologies”, indicating to me that my concerns were not being taken seriously... Very poor experience which ended up in money being refunded after I read more reviews around the quality of the product, why wait any longer if the likelihood is the product will either never arrive and/or will be of poor standard. Ridgemont have two TrustPilots, one for their .co.uk and one for their .com. I would strongly urge anyone to read both sites ahead of buying anything as my experience seems extremely common.

Hi Nina, Thank you for sharing your feedback, we are sorry for the experience. As I’m sure you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is significantly impacting the shipping lines and ports worldwide at the moment. Also most of the production facilities we use are experiencing limited capacity due to COVID-related developments and delays with receiving stock. The ever changing issues with the pandemic coupled with the Christmas rush has led for unprecedented delays and we very sorry about this. We are a small team and always trying to improve our customer support and we are constantly reviewing how we update customers with their orders. We have just implemented a new system which we hope will keep customers better informed and reduce the need for our customers to reach out moving forward. We are truly sorry you have had a bad experience and thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback so that we are able to improve our customer support. Many thanks and again we are very sorry for the inconvenience. From the Ridgemont team.
