While reviews are limited on the Debenhams website, the former high street staple itself has a solid reputation at TrustPilot with its 3.1 out of 5 average from over 16,000 reviews. “I was trying to return something and struggling a bit with the process,” said one five-star review. “They responded to my email, took over and just sorted the whole process for me. Fabulous service, and no hesitation in using Debenhams again when you get this level of support from their customer services team.”
“I did not receive one of my orders, so I got in touch and, no questions, asked another top was sent,” said another happy customer. “No one can top the customer service, and no individual stood out as they were all so helpful.” Another five-star review said: “Contacted the customer services team when a coat was delivered in error. The representative was very prompt at providing a solution and the correct size coat was delivered at the original price paid. Very impressed with the responsiveness and corrective action taken.”
Some have noted slow response times, however. “One item was missing and when I contacted them I was continually told to wait,” said one review. “After two weeks, I was told to wait another 48 hours, which would have been over a weekend so it would have been even longer. After three requests for a refund, it was finally recognised that the item was lost in transit and my money returned.” Another said: “Long slow delivery with little communication. When the item finally arrived, the assembly instructions just did not make sense. I’m a seasoned flat-pack person but this had me totally baffled.”
If you’re after a more striking look, check out this red longline double breasted coat at Very for £60 (down from £75). There’s also a great deal on at Wowcher, with woollen coats available from £17.99.
At 65% off, however, the Dorothy Perkins Oversized Double Breasted Coat is a top buy.
