You gave me the reason why it took longer than usual before i could get my order. Its all about trust. Nothing is more uncomfortable than having to ask your money back.

Excellent help

It took a minute to get a response, but this was understandable considering how busy I expect they are. Louise was incredibly helpful in getting it figured out.

Great customer service!

I had an issue with a damaged shipment and contacted customer service. The response was immediate with a resolution that I will be shipped new merchandise ASAP. This is a limited edition, so I'm hopeful there is still availability, but I'd rate the response from customer service a 5 star.

Lovely Customer service

Customer service was polite and they were very kind. Also was pleasantly surprised with recieving a response on a bank holiday. Lovejoy made a good decision switching to this company.

High shipping costs, damaged goods, poor customer service

Firstly the cost of shipping was hidden when ordering - therefore I assumed it was included in the £15 ‘Sale’ T shirt price. When I placed the order they took £5.99 shipping costs from me - even though the small packet was only sent UK letter post 48 hour tracked - normally costing around £1.75. I messaged customer services within a minute to cancel the order, and they said it was too late, the order process had started. When the parcel arrived, the T shirt was damaged through shoddy packing, and had adhesive tape and old labels stuck all over the front of the printed area. When I tried to peel it off this was damaging the T shirt. Wrote to Sandbed customer services with photos 3 times but heard nothing back. Quick to take your money but after that they do not seem interested. Poor customer service and extortionate shipping costs.

UK and US redirection.

The email notice about the difference of ordering on the UK website and USA while still being able to provide that same package saved me so much. Most companies would give money back but hearing that I’m able to have merch of my favorite band, made my day🥹 the communication is quick and doesn’t have me on edge for 4-5 days. Thank you for being awesome and saving the stress.

They take your money and don't send you things.

I ordered an item on the 9th of July. As of the 22nd of August, not only has my order not arrived, it has not even been shipped and I have had not a single update from the company outside of slow responses to my own enquiries, which amounted to 'we'll send it at some point maybe I guess'. A terrible company, with poor customer service.

EDIT: their 'direct reaching out to me' was to cancel my order without consultation, tell me they never had the stock in the first place, and offer me a paltry 20% discount code for a future purchase, as if getting a discount on undelivered items is some kind of bonus. Far from resolving my issue, their response has cemented my opinion that this company is a terrible one, with no intention to deliver items they sell and no regard for their customer base.

Stay away from these scammers

I received my items two weeks ago and a couple of the vinyl were damaged. I immediately contacted Sandbag to ask about getting replacements but I haven't had any response. I'm now in the process of contacting my bank to get a refund.

Disappointing shipping experience

Disappointing shipping experience and no answers from customer service

I ordered a T-shirt from the official Misfits store operated by Sandbag and paid $38.99 USD for shipping. At checkout, the shipping method was advertised as DHL International, so given the price, I expected my order to be shipped using DHL.

Instead, the package was sent through GlobalPost using a tracked economy service.

I contacted Sandbag several times, around four emails in total, specifically asking why I had paid for DHL International but received a different shipping service. Unfortunately, despite following up multiple times, I never received an answer to this question.

To make matters worse, the package was eventually held by U.S. Customs, who requested additional information from the sender. According to the tracking information I received, the required information was not provided, so the package was ultimately returned to Sandbag. The order has since been refunded.

I appreciate receiving the refund, but the whole experience has been very disappointing. I waited more than a month for an order that never reached me, and I'm still left without an explanation as to why the advertised DHL shipping service, which I paid $38.99 for, was not actually used.

I would still like to order the merchandise, but after repeatedly asking for clarification and receiving no answer, I don't feel confident placing another order.

I hope Sandbag can address this and provide a clear explanation.
