good range of products on there and can use gifted funds to choose whatever you want, not just the original items on the wish list. The most annoying thing is the prices charged are much higher than other online retailers. They know your money is locked in their website and so they don't have an incentive to charge competitive prices for the products. If I realised this when planning the wedding, I would have just used a john lewis list or simply shared bank details with wedding guests so that the gift funds would stretch much further.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Marcus.
We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the flexibility of being able to use your gifted funds towards a wider range of products, rather than being limited to the original items on your list.
We're sorry, however, to hear of your disappointment regarding our pricing. We work closely with our suppliers and price our products in line with their recommended retail prices. As a result, we aren't always able to match promotional or sale prices offered by other retailers. We appreciate that this may not always meet expectations, particularly when comparing against discounted prices elsewhere.
We do genuinely value your comments, and we'll ensure your feedback is shared with our wider team as we continue to review the experience we offer our couples.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review.

I live in the states so not too familiar with conversion $. Your site made it easy to gift my lovely niece and her fiancée something beautiful chosen by them. Very organized site, simple to follow and purchase. I loved that I could get it gift wrapped with a card. I’m happy as long as my niece and new nephew are too!

Why no filters?
Why no filters?
I wanted to remove from view the items already bought, and those partially gifted. I wanted to look for specific items.
Did I miss something?
On the positive - easy to manage basket and pay.

Unexpected shipping costs ruined the experience
My wife and I were excited to receive gifts purchased for us by friends and family, but unfortunately I cannot recommend The Wedding Shop based on our experience.
We live in the Republic of Ireland, as close as possible to the UK while still falling under international shipping. After the gifts had already been selected and packed, we were presented with a shipping quotation of £304.20 for items with a stated value of only £230.49. Even after applying the VAT credit offered, the remaining shipping cost was £265.79. This is £35 more than the value of the gifts themselves.
The online terms and conditions state that: "In these cases (International Shipping), there will be a delivery fee, as well as applicable import costs, to factor in." However, nowhere does it indicate that this delivery fee will amount to more than 115% of the value of the gifts themselves.
The most frustrating part was that the shipping cost was only communicated after the gifts had already been selected and prepared, leaving us in the position of either accepting an excessive charge or abandoning the generous gifts purchased for us by our friends and family.
A much clearer explanation of potential international shipping costs upfront would have prevented this situation and saved everyone time, money, and frustration.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Wyatt. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience has left you feeling disappointed.
We completely understand that the shipping quotation you received came as an unwelcome surprise, and we appreciate why this has been frustrating.
As a UK-based business, international deliveries are handled differently to UK mainland shipments. While we don't set international shipping costs ourselves, we work with specialist shipping partners who provide quotations based on a number of factors, including the size, weight and destination of the order, rather than simply the value of the goods. Unfortunately, with the current global shipping landscape, these charges can sometimes be significant.
We do make it clear within our Terms & Conditions and FAQs that international deliveries are subject to delivery charges and any applicable import costs. Importantly, there is never any obligation to proceed with the quotation we provide. Where international shipping is required, we're always happy to support couples by providing the information needed for them to obtain their own shipping quotations, or by arranging delivery to a UK address should they prefer to use their own shipping provider or an alternative delivery location.
Having reviewed your account, I can see that you're already in contact with our Customer Care team, who have explained the options available following your delivery request. They will continue working with you to find the most suitable solution and support you through the next steps.
We do appreciate your comments regarding the visibility of potential international shipping costs, and we'll ensure this feedback is shared internally as we continue to review how we communicate this information to our couples.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Very easy site to use. Bit disappointed at the amount of additional costs...some of which you can choose not to use (gift card, wrapping etc), but would prefer delivery included seeing as all the gifts get delivered in one go.
