Nice products terrible customer… Nice products terrible customer service! I ordered an item for a colleagues 50th birthday from the online store in mid January hoping I would get delivery by mid February (its states 2-3 days). I got a notification it was going to Royal Mail then nothing. I chased via their enquires@ email address and got no reply. Called them and then I was promised a reply. Several emails and the delivery which was 22 February (one week after the birthday of my colleague). They offered me £25 off my next purchase for my troubles (which didn't touch the side for me for all the bother) then I was told you should have chased us earlier. The end. Don't use this company in case anything goes wrong!

Alice in the Customer Service Team is amazing Alice in the Customer Service Team of Aspinal is fabulous to deal with. She is kind, caring and most helpful and is keen to resolve her customers queries in a timely manner. Aspinal of London are so lucky to have Alice representing the brand.

Premium Price Shocking Quality Aspinal wanted to charge me £100 (reduced to £80) to repair a poorly made, faulty product (rubber peeling off straps of a tote bag that cost £450). I declined, they offered me a 20% discount on a full priced product too, I declined this too. I will never purchase an Aspinal product again. Aspinal is a premium brand; while I’m more than willing to pay a premium, I’m not willing to do so if the quality doesn’t reflect this. I thanked them for their attempt to resolve this matter (discounted repair and off new product) but Aspinal has lost an ambassador and a longstanding customer.

The three Bees I received from Aspinal… The three Bees I received from Aspinal of London are excellent. The photographs on the website don’t do them justice. I am thrilled with the product and the service I received from Aspinal of London. The website was intuitive, and when I used the online help button, I got immediate attention from a human who knew her stuff. Kudos to Aspinal of London’s management for putting in place a good website and personnel to back it up.

Be prepared to pay a High Price for your Purchases Aspinal sells luxury items at premium and inflated prices. If you are absolutely sure of your purchase, and are prepared to pay the price - then go ahead. You'll get the item(s) eventually, (Delivery isn't quick). If you are purchasing an expensive Gift for somebody close to you - be absolutely sure that they will like it or DON'T PURCHASE! You'll never get your money back if the recipient doesn't want the Gift. Poor Customer Service, coupled with an uncaring attitude means that they are only interested in making a quick sale. In summary, ASPINAL DOESN'T CARE AT ALL.
