Bought a decent amount of jewelry from them , honestly not great quality and I bought a pair of $50 that broke n in one day. The company refused to give me a refund or a replacement . Honestly won’t be shopping from them moving forward .

I placed an order and received an email 2 days later saying my order had been shipped with a tracking number. A week later and the tracking number says the order still has not actually been shipped. I've tried getting in touch with the company in all the channels they provide (email, chat, enquiry page) but have not received any communication from them.

I will contact my bank tomorrow to report fraudulent purchased

Hello Hayley,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
To clarify, our prices do already include taxes for UK orders. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our system's inability to capture this information during checkout, which prompted us to reach out to you separately to request the payment.
We do value your satisfaction as a customer and, to ensure you have a positive shopping experience, we will cover the taxes for this particular purchase. Our customer service team has contacted you separately to address this matter. Rest assured that for UK orders, the prices displayed include VAT, eliminating the need for any additional duties or taxes.
We hope this gesture brightens your day, and we eagerly await the arrival of your package. Take care and stay safe!
If I could give 0 starts I would. ONE item was over $100, No tracking to Canada, and I never even received my package.
Ask & Embla 回复2023-05-03
Dear Em,
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay of your order. Our usual delivery timeframe to Canada is 6-21 days after the order is placed, as stated on our FAQ page.
To assist you further, we kindly suggest contacting our customer service team at [email protected] with your order number. Our team may then investigate and provide an update on the status of your order.
Thank you for your patience, and we do hope to hear back from you soon.
UPDATE: I have screenshots of the date I ordered March 18 and today is April 26- they mention in the email and website you should expect to receive in 3-5 days- I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED.
This is just another company passing off the order to an Ali Baba type supplier and repackaging it once they receive it when they buy it with your own money.
They refunded my shipping charge of $12 but still- where is my order!?
I don’t mind waiting - I wish there was more transparency from the beginning so I don’t have to waste my time checking and sending emails every week.
UPDATE:
Received my order April 28- came from the City of Industry-Cindy Long
Product is a lot smaller than I thought but it’s better because it’s more delicate and dainty. Seems sturdy and I have worn it for 24 hours. I updated from 1 star to 3 stars because the product has quality.
Please work on transparency with the shipping process and you’ll hit your 4-5 star ratings.

Thank you for your feedback, Priscilla.
We sincerely apologise for the delayed delivery of your order. Typically, orders arrive within a week from purchase, but we encountered an issue with our systems which caused significant delays. However, this issue has been resolved, our shipping time is back to normal. We have also initiated changes to prevent this from happening again.
We're glad that you liked your jewelry, and we hope to serve you again in the future.
Worst online shopping experience with Ask and Embla. Ordered on March 15th, website promised delivery in 5-9 business days to Munich. No goods or tracking info by April 3rd. Asked for refund, they promised it if not shipped.
Next day (!), received email that it had been shipped, but tracking link led to "http:/none". Wrote to support with screenshots, no reply for 2 weeks.
Worst 100 dollars spent in my life.

After the problem with the refound, they send me an email saying that they were going to send me the product that i was trying to buy, but the problem now is that dhl calls me several times interrupting my work (I’m a teacher) DHL asks for the payment of taxes…and since a week I got so many calls, messages and emails! They don’t hace internal communication, they send mails saying one thing and then anothers saying another thing. This store is absolutely awful, don’t buy in it!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Carolina. We sincerely regret to know this happened.
We hope to seek your understanding as we are unable to determine in advance the amount of taxes, if any, that may be charged.
However, as we see that you're a loyal customer of ours, on top of refunding your order, we have also paid for your additional taxes. We hope that this gesture will make your day and trust that we want you to receive your parcel smoothly.
Our customer service team has reached out to you with an update regarding this, and do let us know should you have any concerns.
Cancelled an order over three weeks ago and the status has been ”unfulfilled” for the whole time. Contacted customer service and two times I was promised that my cancellation would now be taken care of in the next 24 to 48 hours. I was never contacted back again and nothing happened either. I can’t get my money back because they just won’t cancel my order.
Ask & Embla 回复2023-04-19
We sincerely apologise for the delayed response, Wilma.
We typically process requests within 24 hours, however, a recent system issue has prevented us from processing refunds as per our usual standard.
Rest assured that the full refund you requested has been processed as of 17 April 2022 and will credited to your payment account within the next 1-3 days.
To thank you for your patience with this matter, our customer service team reached out separately with a special gift. We apologise once again and hope you have a good day ahead.
Ordered a few items over a month ago, was a pretty expensive purchase for me as I dont tend to spend money on myself! A couple weeks later I still hadn't received any shipment info so contacted Ask & Embla. They informed me that they were moving warehouses and are experiencing delays which is absolutely understandable and I was willing to wait a bit longer. However when I finally got an email telling me my parcel had shipped a few days ago, once i clicked the tracking link it said my parcel was delivered on the 5th of April!? Well, it wasnt. I reached out to Ask & Embla who said it must have been stolen. Once I pointed out that there must be some time travel malarkey going on as somehow the parcel was delivered before they had even shipped it, they miraculously located my parcel... 107 miles across the country from me. I've since contacted this location and surprise surprise it isnt there. I'm currently waiting for an update.

Thank you for your feedback, Ella.
We completely understand that this experience has not been ideal and we take full responsibility for this.
You can rest assured that our systems are now back to normal, and issues like this will not happen again.
We want to ensure that you receive your order and have a good shopping experience with us so our customer service team has reached out separately to resolve this matter.
Thank you so much for your understanding and we hope to hear back from you soon.
EDIT: The company did refund my original order after I asked. That order was never shipped. They contacted me recently and offered me a $20 gift card to order again. This time the order came quickly. Hopefully this means the "operational challenges" they were experiencing are resolved.
I placed an order on March 11; it's been a month and I never received it or any shipping info. I reached out to customer service several times and was promised that it would be shipped out within a few days but it never was. They also promised a discount code for future orders and I never received that either. I asked for my order to be refunded, let's see if I actually get my money back.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to serving you again.
Seriously wouldn’t consider purchasing from this company again. I placed an order on March 17th, it’s April 9th and I still haven’t received my order.
I only got an update after emailing them on the 29th of March….only then my shipping info got updated. Standard shipping info on my order showed 6-10 days but now has gone way beyond that. My shipping info seems to be stuck since April 4th with no other updates whatsoever.
This is the most frustrating online order I have ever made and I would not recommend to anyone looking to receive their products in a timely manner.

Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
Placed an order on the 27th of March. It is now 11 days later and I still haven’t received any shipping notifications. The status of my order says ‘unfulfilled’. I’ve tried emailing customer service and haven’t received a reply. It’s a gift for my friends birthday which is fast approaching and I’m confident it will not arrive in time. I would just like an update please.
Update: Was contacted by ask and embla who explained they are making changing to the order system which has caused delays. Whilst I think this should have been communicated earlier the issue was resolved and I finally received my order.

Item purchase was faulty, customer service refused a refund and said they’d replace the item (which I was fine with), it has now been two months and my replacement order has been made twice and then cancelled on their end which I assume is then trying to get away with not sending it out.
I am continuously having to follow up everything on my end, telling them when the item is in stock etc. and they refuse to tell me what’s going on.
Disappointing customer service and even more disappointing quality of their items.

I placed my order on March 13 and as of March 28 they've been unable to provide any update on shipping. I've reached out and have received friendly replies very quickly, with the first reply one week ago noting my order would be shipped within 2 working days. It wasn't shipped as promised, so I was provided a small gift card for the inconvenience but still have no word on if I'm ever going to receive my order. I purchased just over $100 worth of jewelry I'd been eying for a couple of months and I didn't make my purchase lightly. I'm super bummed and just want my jewelry because I expect it's gorgeous in real life based on other reviews. I'll provide any updates if I ever get them :(

So I placed an order with them on Feb 25th during a rather big sale they were having. My order sat in limbo for 10 days until they cancelled it claiming the items were out of stock….but the items are still listed as available for purchase on their website. It’s a shame because I really liked the first purchase I made and I like their designs but it seems like they randomly cancel orders.

EDIT --> the delivery issues have been resolved, I ordered last week again and the package arrived on time.
--old--
Having anything delivered by them is a nightmare. The order took way too long, and when customer service decided to answer a message, they told me I should check with the courier; when I checked with the courier, they told me they hadn't received the package at all.
Then I come back to them, and they say they would check, never answered but something started happening - I started getting delivery updates.
The order came today - I ordered 5 different pairs of plugs and tunnels - the package had only two. Needless to say, all five of them were charged, but only two were delivered. And they are not cheap, but the quality is good, as I said, so that's ok that they cost as much - but for a premium product, I expect premium customer service and premium delivery.
