Such a shame and not what they once were at all. I have been trying to return a blouse for OVER a month and contact their customer services team. I had returned the blouse, which was then sent back to me !

I tried to return this item: Lily and Lionel
Rosetti Billowy Sleeves Wishing Well Print Blouse In Multi.

Since they ive just been communicating with their facebook account and have been asked to generate a new label. This has really wasted my time. Im really not happy at all! Avoid at all costs.

Complicated returns service. Single order required items to be returns via 3 different methods : post office/Evri/Inpost. Resulting in my making an error in returning items via Inpost instead of Evri. BooHoo parent company customer service have only social media customer service. Parcel apparently not delivered despite Inpost confirming that it was returned to DP warehouse. Many, many, many emails later BooHoo have reluctantly decided they will refund me. But not after being admonished by them & treated as if I am conning them.

Would never buy again cost delivery and return to send a terrible quality blouse cheap rubbish at a high price £5 out of pocket

I placed my order on 29/04/2026, I received it on 5th May 2026.

When I was placing an order, they failed two times the card I regularly use everywhere for my shopping even online. Anyway, it was free delivery as my order was over £70. After two failed attempt, I decided to change different card to pay. I entered my card details, went through bank authorisation and came back to DP. Payment successfully completed with £2.99 surprise cost.

When I received my order, one item was missing. I sent full query in iMessage customer services, received the response next day with “I understand your concern.
As I can see, you are asking about the delivery fee. Yes, there is a delivery fee applicable with your order amount of supersaver Delivery £2.99.

Many Thanks - Logan”

My missing item query completely ignored.
Sucking customer service, poor response, poor policy. No more orders from this company. I am waiting for this company to shut down.

Awful service , they sent me the wrong item and when I returned it the same day I sent various emails to make sure I would get my full refund including postage costs considering it was their mistake and i had the hassle of returning,they said I would get full refund. I still got no confirmation of a refund after nearly two weeks so had to contact them again to be told i was given only a partial refund , i was not refunded the postage costs so my emails to customer service in advance were a waste of time , now im waiting to see if they are going to correct their mistake and meanwhile they still have part of the money i paid for the item i had to return, if I had not chased this up they would of kept it , what right do they have to do that! what a load of hassle. Won't be buying from them again.

As with other people DP are completely failing to supply refunds. They have even sent and email telling me the refund is on its way, but 2 weeks later, still no refund.

They went against the consumer rights act by closing the return window early. Their website states you can return within 28 days of receiving an order. I received my order Monday 30th March, I tried returning on Saturday 25th April (the 27th day if you include the 30th March) and it says the return window has expired. This goes against their own return policy and the online consumer rights act. I’m yet to receive a response from anyone other than an AI bot. I used to shop here a lot but after this experience it’s unlikely I ever will again.

If I could give them minus I would - aside from the fact their customer service is shocking , I have just had to report them to trading standards due an extra charge on an order through the use of a pre-ticked box. This is actually not allowed under UK consumer law. Absolutely appalling .

Absolute joke. Worst customer service and refund set up. Not only will you be **charged** to return items, you will be required to chase multiple times if you want to ever see a refund. There is no customer service number, just a rubbish text system which tries to bat you away with a chat bot. I’ve been waiting 4 weeks for my refund now, since returning the item. This is the second time this has happened - I was stupid to buy from DP a second time!!! Avoid avoid avoid.

Sent goods back using Company supplied tickets and have had more than 22 X and jolly nearly that no of e mails over a period of 8+ months. They have finally told me that the goods were sent to wrong place and have no answer to the fact that return tickets were supplied by them. They can do nothing which means i HAVE LOST MY MONEY

Absolutely awful customer service. I have sent about 50 messages about a delivery issue that has still not been resolved.

If I could score 1 star I would. An absolute scam of a company who are now ignoring my messages. Evri lost a parcel, and despite me providing proof of this to DP they have refused to initiate a refund - initially telling me (4 different people told me this)to contact them on the 15th April where they’d initiate a refund. On the 15th April they said the parcel is on its way and due to be delivered on the 18th April (it isn’t).

I dread to think how they treat vulnerable customers who don’t have the same resolve as me to get my money back.

Avoid ordering from DP / Debenhams.

Very poor experience with Dorothy Perkins. An order that was due to arrive by 12th April has still not been delivered and appears to be missing, with tracking providing no useful updates.

The order included sale items which are now no longer available or have gone out of stock, leaving no option to reorder. Despite this, customer service has advised that the issue will not be escalated and a refund will not be processed until 21st April.

This delay is unacceptable, particularly given the lack of clear tracking information and the inability to resolve the issue promptly. Overall, very disappointing service and poor handling of a lost order.

was first and LAST online order from me

I used to be a huge fan of Dorothy Perkins, I have no idea what has happened but my most recent experience has been insufferable.

Back in January I ordered £300 worth of dresses. My birthday was coming up and I wanted the perfect dress. Being between sizes I had to order more than I knew I would keep. However, having shopped with Dorothy Perkins before and being familiar with their refund policy I felt confident it would be fine.

I returned the dresses I wasn’t planning on keeping promptly. A few weeks passed and I never received a refund. I contacted customer service on Facebook messanger. It was incredibly frustrating. The automated AI messages kept telling me my order was due to be refunded on a date which had passed. It took a while to get past the AI bot but once I did I kept having to explain my situation at least ten times. I provided evidence and explanations multiple times. This was going on for more than a week. Why they couldn’t read the previous messages I’m unsure. Eventually someone listened to me and I got my refund.

Unfortunately I accidentally selected the gift card option for the refund (which was the default option). I was gutted, especially after this experience with customer service, however I accepted that it was my mistake and I shouldn’t have been so hasty!

It won’t come as a shock that I wasn’t in a rush to spend these vouchers. As I didn’t want to go through any refund issues/customer service issues again. However last night I finally thought I should use them before they expire. I popped in three of the gift cards (each item was refunded on a separate gift card sent to me via email) and well would you believe there is a rule that you can only use three per transaction.

I asked customer services if they could combine them but this is out of their control. So now I have over £200 of vouchers split across more than 10 gift cards but can only use three per transaction, and only three per day. That means I’ll have to spend more on delivery/refund costs, and is not good for the environment or surely even DPs own costs?

I want to use my vouchers as it’s my own hard earned money but the hassle and stress I’ve endured is like no other retailer I have brought from over the last few years. I seriously think those who make some of the decisions at the top need to review some of these policies.

After these purchases they will be my last.. and by the looks of these ratings I would strongly suggest anyone reading this saves themselves the hassle!

UPDATE 14/04/2026
After reading many of these reviews I became aware of the pre ticked delivery protection charge. I looked back at my invoice and realised I was fooled by it. You may say my fault for not reading it properly but in today’s busy and chaotic lives it was an easy mistake to make, especially as it’s not something I’ve come across from other retailers. I’ve just carried out some research and a pre ticked charge is illegal! Under UK and EU law customers must opt in to this charge!

Update 29/04 I’ve almost used my vouchers but have a couple of items which need returning as they don’t fit me. Due to having to split the order due to the limitation that is only three gift cards per transaction, I have to pay multiple return charges.

What a shambles this whole process has been!

Dorothy Perkins are an absolutely sham of a company, I have requested VAT invoices/receipts for orders that I have made with them.
They have confirmed that I have made two orders with them recently but are now demanding £5.00 per order to receive my invoices.
“Disgusting Perkins” clearly despise their loyal customers. It’s hard to believe that a company would demand a ransom for invoices that belong to the customer!
I am a private home shopper, not a company.
I will not be shopping here again, and have already begun recommending that others also avoid shopping with this horrendous company.

Wish there was a minus zero rating. Easy enough to pay but getting a refund is a nightmare. I wish I had listened to the numerous negative reviews. There is no way to contact the retailer for help or update. The most horrible experience

Highly unsatisfied with DP not having telephone number and my order got lost by InPost and i am not getting any priper response from either InPost or Dorothy Perkins and I don’t have my order and neither my money and no one to speak to!!!! I have orderd on the 20th March and order got lost on the 21.3.26 and since I have been trying to get some update but not been successful! That’s me done ever ordering from here and using online shopping! Much rather walk into shops to do shopping! Such a bad experience

If there was a zero rating, that’s what DP would get. Easy to order and pay but the items then arrived from 5 different providers and all poor quality. The returns process was the most difficult I’ve ever encountered with negotiating their online return portal, having to return the items to 5 different providers using 5 different return methods and now still waiting for my refund money 3 weeks after the return is showing as recorded. I’ll never order form DP again.

My returns are not being refunded, there is no telephone number to contact Dorothy Perkins and their customer response is automated. Do not order from them unless you are happy to never be refunded for returns.

Contacted DP to query returns charges before I placed a large order. They were not able to confirm the charges I could expect until I’d actually placed the order which I am not prepared to do! Not transparent at all, won’t be ordering. Rather disappointed.
