Absolutely AVOID this company
Absolutely AVOID ordering online from this company - unless you are absolutely sure you know you will be keeping what you purchase - diabolical customer service who are only available by email. I’ll keep it brief, but its been a month of hell and I’m out of pocket!
I ordered a life jacket and paid by credit card. Got an email from Nootica advising that my payment had been rejected and so I needed to reorder the item to ensure delivery. I ordered said item again and paid with a different card, just to be sure.
Received an email confirming that TWO life jackets were being despatched (and payment for the original first order had now been deducted from my card !!!). Tried to cancel the original order because obviously I didn’t want the same item twice - but you can only cancel by email, no phone or online chat available. No response from Nootica for two days. The Response email then tells me both items have by then been shipped, so no cancellation of the original order (that they told me to reorder!!)
Both life jackets arrived. Said item did not fit. Had to return for refund. Obviously I didn’t even open the second life jacket parcel because it shouldn’t have even been sent to me given their advice about rejected payment/reorder instructions.
Return eventually done and I got a CREDIT NOTE to be used within 12 months, despite my asking for a refund to my credit cards. A month down the line, and much stress by email communication they ignore, I have now received a refund BUT I am out of pocket by £12.40 because they have charged me return postage for the original order - which is completely their fault for sending! Unbelievable.
As said, only if you sure you know what you are ordering will not need to be returned, and if you get an email saying payment rejected and to reorder, ignore it. I’d give NIL stars if this was a Trustpilot option (I’ve done lots of reviews on here and this is my absolute first negative one, so I’m not a regular complainer).
