Honestly I decided to buy on this store for two reasons: One, I had read some good reviews of their costumer service, and two, they had the boots I wanted as they do right now: Availability: In Stock - Immediate Dispatch. So I bought it and after I sent an email explaining how I needed to receive the order that week. I had no reply, so I waited. Two days latter they wrote me an email saying they were sorry but that article would take 4-5 weeks to restock. I immediately asked for a refund, so I could order somewhere else, I wanted them for Christmas. Again, I had no reply from them. I called on the next day and someone said they were too busy to reply my emails, and that they would refund me. This all happened between the 14th Dec. and the 18th. Off course I couldn't buy the boots I wanted. As of now, 28th Dec. I still don't see the refund on my account. I'm very disappointed with there costumer service and lack of response.
Very good service,quickly and accurate!
When they can be contacted the people are generally helpful, but there seems always some difficulty in obtaining opinions/ advice. After receipt of the latest order, I found fit to be a problem and returned the shoes immediately but a couple of weeks later am still awaiting a refund
Yup. That's my review! Shoes came on time and looked just like the picture. I'm happy.
I recently purchased a pair of Loake Smith from Robinson's Shoes from the online store. I was surprised at how fast the shoes were delivered to me in Melbourne, Australia, just before Christmas. I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely use Robinson's Shoes again
Orders should not be taken when goods are not in stock and neither should you pay for these none existent goods, still waiting for a refund that is taking too long, a bank transfer takes a matter of seconds
Having ordered a pair of shoes they were too big and they rang to say they were despatching before Christmas and to make it clear that there would be an extra courier charge to send the new size. Personal and honest.
Great Products Great service, Great Value Very happy
Excellent service , selling class products. Only gripe was the delivery being slow, but, it's December, so i guess its to be expected.
Prompt response on emails and quick delivery of shoes.great experience and will not hesitate to order from Robinson' shoes again!
Excellent service
Website says it's in stock; order confirmation says it's in stock, couple of days later - 'sorry, we have no stock and we won't be getting any as they're discontinued'. Amateurs.
I ordered a pair of boots which showed as being in stock online. A few days later, I got an email saying the boots were out of stock. The payment left my bank the next day.....rather annoying paying for boots that weren't in stock. I requested a refund that took a week to get into my account. Not ideal really.
Very poor service from Robinson's Shoes. The customer service advisors were very unhelpful and rude. My order took too long to arrive UK mainland. I will not buy from Robinson's again.
Excellent service

immediate response to changes twice made to shipping address, arrived in as little time as humanly possible

Great service and very quick delivery
Slightly peeved cardiff
Dec 29,2014I ordered and duly paid for two pairs if shoes. I was then emailed saying that they had no stock of the pair in black and they would be a further 6 weeks...the first pair have been delivered and i am still waiting for the second...it seems strange that a company can sell stock that they dont possess?
