Waited 10 days for an order and told delivery failed. Whatever that means. Re ordered again 6 days ago. Can get no information. Don’t know if it’s been dispatched or on it wash. Nothing and no way to track because carries QR code doesn’t work and no alternative. I’ve just emailed PC to see if they know what’s happening with my order. Bag is a birthday present. A very very very late present. I suggest they re tender their carrier

Customer service unresponsive!
Back in Dec I completed a return request for one of two bags.
I received a confirmation saying 'your return request was sent and is being reviewed. We'll email you once it's been completed.' but I haven't heard back since.
I have had no reply on the three emails sent. I understand they may have been extremely busy over the Christmas period, but to completely ignore emails is unacceptable. I see that the company has responded to positive reviews on Trustpilot, what is happening with customers who are still waiting for assistance?

Thank you for your review, and we’re very sorry for the frustration caused.
We did respond to your original email and sent return instructions along with the return form on 12th December. Unfortunately, we later discovered that our emails were bouncing back and were not being delivered to your inbox.
We have since contacted you using a different email address and hope this message has reached you successfully. Once we receive confirmation, we will immediately send the return label for the Gaillac Black bag.
We sincerely apologise for the misunderstanding and the inconvenience caused by this unforeseen disruption in communication, and we appreciate your patience while we resolve this.
Warmest regards The Paul Costelloe team.

Hi there Mrs Bell, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really sorry to hear that the bag wasn’t the size you expected – we understand how disappointing that can be.
We do our best to include full measurements in the product description to help give a clear idea of the size, but we appreciate that photos can sometimes make items appear larger than they are. Your feedback is genuinely helpful, and we’ll certainly keep it in mind when reviewing how we present our products online.
If you’d like to discuss this further or need any help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our customer support team at sales@paulcostelloebags.com, leaving you order number, email address and contact number – we’d be happy to help where we can.

Awful - no direct follow up
Awful. Just awful.
I left an honest review for this website on here and, recently, received a reply from the company: all the right things being said but no actual contact details given and no direct contact made, despite several emails sent; all my emails couldn't have ended up lost. I haven't had a single correspondence from them to arrange the return and refund of this bag that I am now stuck with. Hoping this second review might actually prompt them to take action, rather than leaving an apologetic reply, and thinking this will be the end of it.

We’re truly sorry for the continued frustration this situation has caused and for the lack of follow-up you’ve experienced. We understand why this would feel disappointing, especially after taking the time to leave an earlier review.
Please be assured this is not our intention, and we would genuinely like to resolve this for you. To ensure this is handled correctly and without further delay, please re send your details to sales@paulcostelloebags.com with your order number and direct contact details and I will look into this as a matter of priority tomorrow.

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate you raising this.
We apologise if you did not receive an order confirmation email — this can occasionally occur due to email filtering, though the order is still successfully received in our system. We did respond to your initial enquiry to advise of the dispatch timeframe, and we regret that your order has taken longer than expected, particularly over the holiday period when delays can occur.
We are not intentionally ignoring emails, and we’re sorry if you’ve felt that way. Our customer service team is currently working through a high volume of enquiries, but we do want to resolve this for you.
If you are still having issues please contact us at sales@paulcostelloebags.com and we will work to resolving immediately.
We truly hope this experience doesn’t put you off and that we’ll have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
Thank you for your patience.

Fab quality bags!!
So given some of Trust pilot reviews which I didn't read until after my purchase I was impressed with my order. All present and correct. I used a discount code on already discounted sale items . Lovely very lovely!! quality bags. I purchased 2 The Cooper in black and The Hana in otter brown.
Considering they were purchased between Christmas and New Year they did take slightly longer to arrive and this was always in the back of my mind so refrained from making contact with the company
Both bags were in a well packaged box and signed for with Royal Mail. Tracking was updated several times and I couldn't be happier.
Many Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review — we’re delighted to hear that you’re happy with your order.
It’s great to know that both The Cooper in black and The Hana in otter brown arrived safely and met your expectations, especially as they were purchased during the busy Christmas and New Year period. We really appreciate your understanding regarding the slightly longer delivery time, and we’re pleased that the tracking updates and signed-for delivery gave you peace of mind.
We’re also glad you were able to take advantage of the discount — even more so that the quality of the bags impressed you. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team.
Thank you again for your support, and we hope you enjoy your bags for many years to come. 😊
Really pleased with bag

Rubbish customer service.
Ordered a purse to match a bag I'd bought. Different colour arrived. I asked for an exchange and was sent an email saying I needed to pay for the return. I sent another email saying why should I pay for its' return as the wrong colour had arrived, but no response. So I returned it, asking for the correct colour .... and got a refund just for the purse - so I'm nearly £11 down, after paying for postage, and still no purse.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused.
We apologise for the incorrect colour being sent — that is not the service we aim to provide. We’re also sorry if our communication regarding the return was unclear and that you did not receive a follow-up response at the time.
Your return was processed as a refund once the item was received back with us, which is why the purse was refunded rather than exchanged. We understand, however, that this has left you out of pocket due to return postage, and we appreciate why this is disappointing.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I hope everything is resolved now. We truly hope this experience doesn’t put you off and that you’ll consider visiting us again in the future.
Warmest regards the Paul Costelloe team.
Buyer beware with Christmas…
Buyer beware with Christmas approaching.
I really tried to avoid having to write this review, but I feel it’s only fair that customers are made aware of the lack of service. Like many others have mentioned, I have waited over two weeks since placing my order and have heard nothing. I have sent three messages and received no response.
The customer service is terrible. I simply want to know when my order will be processed and dispatched. Customer satisfaction clearly isn’t a priority, otherwise they would respond to customers and address these increasingly worrying reviews.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologise for the delay and lack of communication. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration.
Unfortunately this is a very busy time of year for us and sometimes the response time is longer than we would like.
Please be assured that customer satisfaction is important to us, and I would like to thank you for your patience and hope this has all been resolved now.

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry for the frustration caused. We understand how disappointing unexpected charges can be. For deliveries to Ireland, VAT and customs charges may be applied by local authorities and are unfortunately outside of our control.
That said, we appreciate you raising this and will review how this information is communicated to ensure greater clarity for our customers.

I bought a bag from Paol Costelloe…
I bought a bag from Paul Costelloe Swindon and a long piece of metal started to protrude out of the bag which was very sharp and dangerous! It was about 30cm long. I kept the metal piece to show them. When I was passing Swindon Outlet where I purchased it, I asked to speak to the Manager (who was very rude & disinterested in the fault). She told me to contact Customer Services and refused to give me her name (because of Data Protection)!!!! I sent Customer services an email, & they just fobbed me off (not even asking to see photos of the fault)! They said they didn't do returns. Absolutely disgusting aftersales and disinterest in the quality of their bags. I will not be going back to Swindon, as the Manager was insulting and rude and not at at all helpful in front of customers. I will be taking the matter up with Trading Standards, as I think they are in Breach of the Law, regarding Faulty goods, (with a receipt), and fair Wear & Tear. Never dealt with a Company with this Attitude before. Extremely disappointed with them.
