AI Review Summary Based on 44 reviews

Overall customer experience with Elizabetharden is sharply divided, with many reporting severe dissatisfaction while a minority report positive experiences. Service quality is overwhelmingly criticized, with customers frequently describing it as the worst they have ever encountered, citing unhelpful, rude, and dismissive staff who refuse to address issues. Delivery and order fulfillment are problematic, with complaints including orders being cancelled for out-of-stock items after payment, significant delays without communication, and incorrect or incomplete shipments. The returns and refund process is fraught, with customers reporting denied refunds even after confirmed returns and being instructed to file claims with carriers instead of receiving company support. Product quality receives mixed feedback; some specific items like serum capsules, Green Tea products, and certain creams are praised, but others are criticized for poor performance, faulty packaging, altered formulas, or unpleasant smells. Special offers and discount codes are frequently reported as not working as advertised, leading to frustration and a sense of being misled. Website and purchasing issues are common, including technical glitches, express delivery being set as a default without clear consent, and orders disappearing from accounts. Overall satisfaction is low for many long-term customers who feel betrayed after years of loyalty, citing wasted money and time. However, a subset of customers reports smooth transactions, fast delivery, excellent product efficacy, and exceptional in-store consultations with knowledgeable brand ambassadors. The brand's reputation hinges on inconsistent execution, where direct purchases often fail, but positive retail experiences and specific product lines retain some customer loyalty.

UNSATISFACTORY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

I regularly buy products from Elizabeth Arden and therefore never thought I would have cause to write this review I recently purchased items on their 3 for 2 offer Due to the value of my order I qualify for a free 6 piece ceramide gift I received confirmation of my order which included my free gift as expected but then 3 days later I received another email informing me that this gift was no longer available and therefore would not be included in my order but reassuring me that I would not be charged for the item No substitute free gift was even suggested let alone offered for my consideration The email did advise me that I would be refunded for the item however this overlooks the obvious fact that I wasn t being charged for it in the first instance My order has yet to be delivered and I have requested that my order be cancelled completely and a full refund given - whether this will be acted upon as requested I ve yet to see This does not however detract from me feeling very let down and disappointed with Elizabeth Arden I feel that I have been sold goods under false pretences it s as if a free item has been used to tempt and secure a sale only to remove it once the sale is secured I appreciate that demand may be high for an offer especially if it s a free gift but surely the ordering system is sophisticated enough to stock take as orders are made I would also expect the company to also appreciate that from a customer experience point of view that this service is disappointing and mis-leading I would have given my customer experience a zero star rating if I could have

If I could give a zero stars I would

If I could give a zero stars I would I will never buy or deal with this company again Purchased products on line and they were the wrong colour I sent them back and followed their instructions for returning Had a message from the post office to say they had been received and signed for snd after that I heard nothing Waited 30 days like they said and rang them They said they would look into it Waited another seven days and nothing Contacted them again and they ghosted me Thank God I had paid through PayPal I got my money back through them It took almost four months to get my money back -disgusting I had to raise a dispute through PayPal There was no apology either No wonder they are going down the pan Don t buy online is my advice Just don t buy their products

Poor Customer Service

I am so disappointed with the handling of my complaint Elizabeth Arden s customer services is the worst I have ever experienced in my life They would rather end my custom with them over 18 years then deal with the issues that I brought to their attention I shopped at their stand in Allders Croydon which closed in 2005 They offered me 20 with my next order When the issue I had with them was the fact that 25 was not taken Never again

Really poor customer service

Really poor customer service I was gifted a large pot of hand cream at Christmas having used it for years This was a gift purchased on Amazon but not only did it smell different to my regular 8 hr hand cream it caused my skin to peel badly I contact EA via website and asked them to confirm if the Amazon listing was genuine and theirs and also if it was then hand the ingredients changed across all production of 8 hr cream As a regular user for 8 years I just didn t want to waste money purchasing more Response was your making a claim so we need more information I explained NO just a genuine query on listings and ingredients as clearly had a problem with gifted Amazon one This was 21st January and they have completely IGNORED every follow up of mine since Extremely unprofessional

Elizabeth Arden you should be ashamed

Elizabeth Arden you should be ashamed Placed an order that was supposed to come with a free foundation brush - foundation came with no brush after a long delay I called and emailed several times with no response for over a wk Customer service were so rude and accused me that the item showed it had been packed I provided the packing slip showing that it did NOT and she eventually offhandedly said I ll post you one It never arrived and nobody has returned my communication s since I will NEVER trust your company again You will now lose more than a makeup brush in my sales Not good Elizabeth Arden

This is NOT Francis Kurkdjian s signature Green Tea scent

I ve purchased Elizabeth Arden Green Tea original lotion for several years now and my recent experiences have been offensive Without any label changes Elizabeth Arden has altered Francis Kurkdjian s lovely signature scent into a spice bomb disaster Kurkdjian s signature formula presented a clean creamy citrus top note This new concoction is a slap in the face not only to Kurkdjian s expertise as a perfumer but also a slap in the nose to the countless customers who have cherished his signature scent for decades You will lose so many loyal fans of this once-lovely lotion Elizabeth Arden Change it back or at least have the decency to print the formula change somewhere You aren t fooling anyone because this new formula is redolent of scented toilet paper from the 1970s
