Poor quality shoes
Must say I am really disappointed in the quality of Coast's high heels. First time ever buying the brand and cannot believe that only after wearing the heels for the first time for a few hours at a wedding, the rubber heel at the end of the right heel has already come off. They are now uneven to walk in and I'm left with a metal stub. I only wore them for a few hours but you'd think I had these for years. What poor quality. I would return them if I could but as I have now worn them, nothing I can do. I will not order from them again.
Shame as delivery was quick although the shoes came in a plain white box rather than a coast labelled box.
Update 24/09/2025
I thought the reply below was just a way of them to show they 'care' but nothing would come of it and I would just get some generic AI response. However I decided to give it a go and get in touch. To my surprise, they replied promptly, I have been dealing with a real human who has actually looked into this matter so customer service wise they have been great. I have therefore added a star.

Stay clear - serious refund issues
I returned my order 20 days ago and still haven’t received a refund. Tracking shows they received the order 17 days ago. Tried contacting them and only got through to an AI bot. Finally managed to get transferred through to customer services and they haven’t replied to me after waiting an hour.
My sister who has spent over £400+ is having the same issue with her return and she sent her return back even earlier than I did.
Appalling, would never order from them again

Awful customer service - avoid!!!
Worst customer service I have experienced. If I could give a zero I would. I am waiting 35 days for my refund to be processed with absolutely no update.
The only way to contact them is through an AI response on wats app that doesn't know how to respond!
**There are only messaging methods of communication which are not with an actual agent. I have used them and still no refund or update on when I will receive my refund

AVOID!!!
Ordered 3 x dresses, returned them the next day and I am still waiting for my refund 4 weeks later. The customer service is terrible, it's gone from we're processing your refund now, to we've processed your refund and are waiting to send to your card issuer, to now "we'll let you know when your return arrives at our warehouse"!
I wouldn't mind, this is over £300 in dresses that I'm waiting for a refund for. I have also asked multiple times to escalate this to someone else in the business which has been ignored. My next step will be to small claims court and reporting to trading standards!
**NOTE that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, refunds should be back in accounts within 14 days of the return so any consumers waiting for refunds are well within their rights to take Coast/ Debenhams to Small Claims court to receive the refund back, and Coast/ Debenhams ARE liable for any court fees if they lose**
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.

Very poor experience — charged for failed delivery and received item again
I’m really disappointed with my experience. I placed an order (DUX041380254) and was charged £15 for next-day delivery, which never arrived on time. After chasing this several times and finally refusing the parcel, I was refunded — or so I thought.
To my surprise, the same order showed up again for collection weeks later, even though I had clearly declined it multiple times. I’ve spoken to several customer service reps, but nothing has been resolved properly.
Now I’m stuck with items I didn’t want and Debenhams expects me return them as a gesture of good will but with NO appreciation. I’ve been more than patient, but this whole situation has been frustrating and time-consuming.
Please sort out your systems and customer communication — and don’t charge for premium delivery if you can’t deliver on the promise.

Good morning Irina, thank you for taking the time to leave a review regarding your recent experience with our brand.
I'm really sorry to hear your order never arrived on time and this was refused but was still delivered to you.
I have taken a look and can see our Customer Service team issued a full refund and you have now received the items which is why we advised to return back to us. If you could please return the items at your earliest convenience we would really appreciate it.

Awful customer service
Awful customer service. Order placed on 19th June ( next day delivery for arrival 20th June ) parcel never arrived and EVRI have confirmed the parcel is lost and directed me speak with Coast / Debenhams.
I tried email and facebook messenger and was continually told to wait until 1st July as my parcel might still arrive, despite EVRI confirming it’s lost.
Now, 2nd July, still being placed in a customer service queue with no response.
The order was occasion dresses for a wedding which I had to reorder as I didn’t have time to wait until 1st July in the event they might arrive.
The reorder was received. I chose the dress and size and returned the others and have already had an email to say they have received my return.
No idea why this can be dealt with.
Really put me off buying from them again.

Hi
Thank you for this review, I'm sorry to hear your parcel has experienced a delay in getting to you.
Although the majority of our orders are delivered within the timeframe chosen at checkout, delays with couriers do sometimes happen that are out of our control and when they do, they ask to allow more time for delivery to be made before we are able to declare the parcel as lost. Due to the volume of parcels within Evri's network at any given time and them always moving, it is not possible for them to conduct a thorough search for an individual parcel and we do find that parcels are located and delivered within this timeframe.
The timeframe given is one agreed with Evri themselves and until the given date passes, the parcel is still expected to be delivered. Our customer service team will respond to all emails as soon as possible and will ensure any parcel lost in transit is refunded for you.
Thanks - Dean
Found it difficult to cancel my order
Found it difficult to cancel my order. No human to talk to. Had to go into hospital. So tried to cancel order straight away. But computer or assistant refused to cancel it. I’ve been so stressed . Because I haven’t been able to take delivery of this Hoover. So now it’s been sent back to depot. I assume. Stuck their . Can’t get refund until this is sorted. Unacceptable in my view. No customer service at all.very bad. Will never order from them or Debenhams online again. Really stressful.

Hi Margaret
Thank you for this review.
Due to the volume of orders received and speed they are processed, we are unable to cancel orders once they have been made. We do offer a 28 day return timeframe for all orders so if any items are not wanted, they can be returned for a refund within this time.
If your parcel is currently being held by the courier at a depot, we will need to wait for this to be returned to the sender to provide a refund on the order. Once the tracking shows the parcel is on the way back to them, please let us know and we'll be able to advise further.
Thanks - Dean

Hi Priscilla,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent experience. We have recently introduced a new option in how customers can receive refunds.
You will now be offered two options when logging your return -
(i) refund to gift voucher
(ii) refund to original payment method
It is a customer’s responsibility to ensure you are carefully reading and understanding the options available before continuing to the next page/step. These options are clearly set out online, and selections made at this stage are final once you continue.
Once an option has been selected, we are unable to make changes or cancel it. This choice is presented each time you make a return, so for future returns you can select a refund to go back to the original payment if you prefer.
Take care.
Rob

I’ve waited 17 days for my refund and I didn’t get the full refund. They sent me two of the same dress instead of the correct order, and these dresses are the ones missing from the payment. They have clearly lost the dresses themselves and now I have spoken to customer service 3 times with no success. I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes for someone from the customer service team to chat with me

When an incorrect item is received, we ask to be made aware of this before the return is made so we can ensure refunds are processed correctly. I can see our customer service team responded well within the 48 hours we ask to allow to respond to all messages and they have raised this with the relevant team to look into further. Please allow the given timeframe for the team to get back to you about this.

Appalling service
Appalling service, purchased three dresses, returned two on the 22nd April, still awaiting my refund, no email or telephone number. Been chasing via WhatsApp, they keep advising that’s it’s on the way, still nothing! Purchased two dresses from John Lewis and returned one and received my refund within a week! Avoid coast! Is a shame as they used to be a go to for me!

Would leave a zero if I could. I’ve had the same experience as previous reviewers. 2 dresses were returned 3 weeks ago and I keep being fobbed of that my refund is in the system. Usually when companies start behaving like this they’re going into liquidation. I’ve paid with PayPal and escalated it to a claim but I warn all potential buyers to steer clear of coast!!!!

TERRIBLE RETURNS SERVICE
Ordered 3 dresses on 17th April. All arrived from different suppliers, one extremely late. All had different returns processes but I managed to set up a return for all 3. One has gone completely missing, another I had to pay £5.40 to return myself after emailing back and forth with the supplier for a few days. For the two that have been received by the suppliers (the first on the 28th April) I still - 12 days later, have not received any refund amounts, and have also just learned that I will be paying £1.99 PER ITEM for returns. That's £11.37 I will have spent returning dresses that I have not yet even had a timely refund on. I'm totally disgusted. Customer services are extremely slow and mostly serviced by bots or humans who are poor communicators. The website is very misleading - it does not make it clear at all that they are effectively a marketplace seller, had it been clearer I would have not been willing to buy from them in the first place. I implore you not to buy from Coast but find the brand of dress you like and buy directly from them. Trust me, buying through Coast is not worth your time or energy.

Order ref: DUX039112091 I would leave a 0 star review, if I could. Absolutely shocking customer service. Returned a dress on the 22/03 and it was received by Coast on 27/03. Almost 3 weeks later, I’m still waiting for my refund. I have repeatedly been lied to about the refund being issued and have been given 3 different dates as to when I’ll be getting my money back. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE - DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Hi
Thank you for this review, I'm sorry you feel this way about your experience with us.
When a return is made, as per the agreed returns policy, we ask to allow 15 days for the parcel to reach our warehouse and be refunded, and a further 5 working days for the refund to be fully processed with your payment provider.
I can confirm the refund has been fully processed within this timeframe and should already be showing on your account.

Utter rip off on return charges!
Utter rip off! What they don’t tell you is that they will dispatch your order in many different parcels - then charge you £1.99 for each parcel returned. It should be £1.99 for one return since they were ordered as one order. Asked for a refund on part of the return costs - wasn’t granted. This is on top of the £2.99 delivery charge in the first place (on an order of £170).

SCAM!
Be careful when ordering. I wish I had read the reviews as I ordered dresses and they did not fit so I returned them. I returned via tracked and can see both dresses were delivered to them and yet they have only refunded for one dress. Their customer service is AWFUL and just send the same automated message. They also do not give you their address even though repeated requests were made so I can file a claim.
BE CAREFUL!! order through credit card only so they can help you chase up problems on your behalf
