Hopefully Hurtig Lane do better in future FIRST REVIEW: Purchased a watch and received order confirmation mid-November. Requested a status update two weeks later. Now mid-December still heard nothing from them - not even a status update. Reading these reviews, it seems I'm not the only one... I'm so disappointed. I used to have a Hurtig Lane watch and it was great – so great, I wanted to replace it when I broke the old one while trying to change the battery myself (entirely my bad). Seems they've gone downhill over the past few years... UPDATE: After posting my first review, Hurtig Lane reached out to address the problem. Their communication from this point onward was consistently prompt and professional. However, the first package they sent out contained the wrong watch (a different face than the one I ordered). When I pointed this out, they sent out a second package with the correct watch and some complementary straps. I'm glad to have received the watch I ordered because the quality of their products is great. It still sucks that it took almost two months to arrive and that I had to post a negative review to prompt them to communicate and deliver my order. I do like their products and the ethics behind the company, so I hope they get their act together soon.

Such a lovely shopping experience I couldn't be happier with my Hurtig Lane watch! Not only is it beautiful and ethically-made, the customer service team are an absolute dream too. There was a small fault with the model I'd received and they were very helpful, sending a replacement straight away. I'll definitely be shopping with them again and also recommending them to friends!

Do not order from Hurtig Lane Vegan and ethically made watches, what's not to like? Well, that's the theory. The practice is some of the worst customer service I've experienced to date, and I would caution everyone against ordering from this shop. I ordered a watch in early March, the website stated delivery times to be 5–7 days. After two weeks of no news, no shipment notice, and no watch, I contacted the shop. At first I did not get a reply. After another attempt, they finally responded and told me that my order may have got lost. After several further emails, I was told the watch had been shipped (but if so, why was I not notified of its shipment?), but that the courier might have lost it. They offered to post the watch again with a different courier. When I agreed to this, I was told that the style I had ordered was sold out and I would have to wait at least another week. Why was this not mentioned before? Instead, I spent about 10 days emailing back and forth with their customer service without clear answers, and only further delays. Overall, my impression is that this site might be a scam, and that they might attempt to stall customers indefinitely. Their website has stated for over a month now that customers will get a discount "this weekend". This seems odd. So overall I recommend: do not order from them! The only aspect of this which was handled promptly was the refund. I wish I could be refunded for the time I wasted on this whole experience as well. Edit: After leaving this review, I was contacted by the company multiple times with accusations of writing multiple negative reviews. I wish I had never ordered from them in the first place. Avoid!

Worth the wait This is a business that I would definitely give a second chance to. I placed my order on Nov 29th and waited weeks for confirmation of shipping and then experienced delays in response time when I emailed the company. It seems they fixed whatever email issue they were having that caused the delay, because afterwards they were very prompt to reply and very helpful. When I explained that I still never received my watch, they reshipped the watch with expedited shipping and a free watch band. I received my package on 12/21/23, a little under a month after I ordered. I am so thrilled it came in in time for Christmas. The watch is beautiful, the packaging is unique and trendy, and I feel good about the kind of company I gave my money to this holiday season. There were some bumps in the road, but the watch was worth the wait. I'll definitely order again in the future-- definitely recommend.

Bumpy Start But Great Finish I too hadn't received shipping confirmation of my order from Black Friday and was concerned whether I would ever receive my watch. However, my email enquiry was answered promptly and professionally by Customer Service and I was provided with proof of shipping. I was okay with the item being past Christmas as long as I knew it was on the way. As luck would have it, my order was received the next day. It was very well packaged to protect against damage and the gift packaging and watch itself are beautiful. I think my daughter will love it and I would order from Hurtig Lane again without hesitation.
