Service rating : exellent arrived next day
Product rating : The last jumpers from john smedley have lasted incredably well in fact I still have one that I must have bought 20 years ago, and it has washed perfectly every time and kept it's shape. They are expensive in todays world but worth every penny for durability.

Belden In Jay Blue

Service rating : ok
Product rating : I had visited the london store before ordering on line and tried on a white t shirt but noticed that there was a small hole [dropped stitch I think] and told the assistant. I ordered the blue online but it also had a small hole on the side; I couldn't be bothered returning it so just mended it myself. I guess such fine cotton when Knitted will have these holes occasionally; I remember I had the same problem with some Burberry sea island cotton shirts I bought in the 1980s!

Not John Smedley, but DHL. Awful. Did not deliver on the day they said they would. Did not ring bell. Did not leave card. They then telephoned. Re-delivered 3 days later to alternate address; again, did not leave card at our home to say they'd done so. (By the way, there was always someone available at home to receive the parcel.); made me wonder if I'd order from your great website again.

DISPATCH WAS VERY SLOW AND PACKAGING WAS VERY POOR FOR £10 POSTAGE AND PACKING. JOHN SMEDLEY NEEDS TO RAISE ITS GAME IF IT IS TO OFFER INTERNET TRADING. I.E CHEAPER POSTAGE COSTS. ASOS AND OTHERS BEAT JOHN SMEDLEY WITH DISPATCH TIMES AND THEY DO NOT CHARGE!

It wasn't apparent on my order confirmation nor your website how long it would take to deliver my order. I emailed to ask when my order would be delivered and the response was unsatisfactory - 'orders are usually dispatched in 4 days'. I ordered on a Monday night and my order wasn't dispatched until the following Monday. I also emailed twice to notify that I had provided an incorrect postcode for my delivery address - neither email was answered and the postcode wasn't changed. In comparison to customer service, delivery times and delivery charges from sites such as Mr Porter, you're unfortunately lagging a long way behind.

I particularly liked the classy delivery package (the black plastic pouch and then the jumper being in the black envelope), although I was disappointed to realise that "DHL delivery" only started four days after the order was placed - rightly or wrongly, quoting DHL delivery made me think I'd have the shipment within about 24-48 hours of purchase, but it was more like a week in the end, by which time I'd gone to the trouble of contacting you to ask where it was.

The new packaging was a disappointment. JS shipments used to arrive in strong boxes, now they ship in blue paper envelope that was badly torn on arrival, which was irritating as item was a gift.
