Low quality customer service

I am a dedicated Kiehls customer for many years.
Every year on my birthday I get an email notifying me of a birthday gift when I make a purchase. Today I was going to make a purchase, when I put the purchases in my cart, I didn't see that the birthday gift had been added. I called customer service. Unfortunately, I got an agent who spoke very little English. I'm not sure if the agent understood my question, as he was unable to help me in any way other than escalating my request further. I also noticed that the agent was not polite enough.
Kiehls, you are a premium brand and your customer service should also be premium. I am not happy with my experience today, very upset and to cheer myself up I made a purchase of another brand

Kiehl’s POOR

Kiehl’s has POOR, POOR, POOR organisational setup. You cannot trust that an item on their website is in stock even when you place the order (ridiculous). I ordered the Kiehl’s creme de corps 500ml after a recommendation. At the time of ordering, I was given the option to select two sample sachets. The order was placed the payment taken and the confirmation received. Two days after placing the order, I received an email stating that part of my order was not available. I checked the Kiehl’s website for an alternative size, only to find the size I wanted was still available (ridiculous). A huge parcel then arrived from Kiehl’s, I initially thought it must be a mistake and when I opened the first packaging box there was another huge box inside. I opened it to find two small sachets (ridiculous). This is totally unethical and unacceptable. I called Kiehl’s customer services team to get an explanation and was told the inconsistences in the stock levels online was common and the huge box was sent because the packers in the warehouse were unaware of the stock levels until the parcel was due to be sent out (ridiculous). This is easy to fix; it’s 2025 after all. I was also advised to go head and leave a negative review. In short this is poor, poor, poor and such a waste of time of MY time. I will not order from them again.

Dear Richard,

We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us, and we deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on Trustpilot. We understand how frustrating and disappointing it must be to have your order cancelled, especially after looking forward to receiving your items for your brother's birthday. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience and upset this has caused you.

We genuinely regret that we were unable to fulfil your order. During periods of high demand, particularly with special promotions, our most popular products can sell out very quickly, sometimes even within the same day. While our distribution centre works to process orders as efficiently as possible, this can unfortunately lead to situations where items are no longer available by the time an order is processed, necessitating a cancellation. This is certainly not the experience we want for our valued customers, and we completely understand your disappointment.

Please know that we are taking your comments very seriously. We're actively and thoroughly reviewing our inventory management and order fulfilment processes to identify exactly where things went wrong and implement robust solutions to prevent such occurrences in the future. Our commitment is to consistently meet your expectations and provide the seamless, joyful shopping experience you deserve.

In the meantime, we've already reached out to our dedicated consumer care team, and they will be contacting you directly via email very soon. They will be providing you with a complementary 25% discount code as a token of our sincere apology. We completely understand that a discount doesn't undo the inconvenience you've faced, but we genuinely hope it shows how truly sorry we are and our desire to try and make things right.

We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to demonstrate the quality of service we strive to deliver. Thank you once again for your feedback.

Warmly,
The Kiehl's Team

Terrible delivery service

Love the products, but the delivery service is terrible. Waiting 2 weeks now for delivery. There shouldn’t be any reason for this when most other companies can deliver within a couple of days. When I contacted them after 12 days they refused to look into it and said they would only escalate after 14 days. Contacted them today after 14 days to no reply. Over 2 weeks for delivery with no update is extremely poor service and has put me off buying the product again in the future.

Edit: As of today, my order has been cancelled and refunded with no explanation - 15 days after it was placed. So I now have to find alternative solution as I will not use Kiehl’s products again after this experience.

Good afternoon,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the disappointment and frustration you've faced with your recent order; it's absolutely not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how upsetting it is when an expected delivery doesn't go as planned.

We've reviewed your case and can see that unforeseen logistics challenges unfortunately prevented us from completing your delivery as expected. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience and annoyance this has caused you. We know that waiting for an order, especially for products you're looking forward to, only to have it not arrive, is incredibly frustrating, and we deeply regret that this happened.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we want to assure you that we are taking it very seriously. We will be sharing your comments directly with our order fulfilment and shipping teams. This kind of input is crucial in helping us identify areas for improvement and implement measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future, ensuring a smoother experience for all our customers.

For our valued customers in Ireland, we genuinely recommend placing your orders directly through the Kiehl's IE website. This dedicated platform is designed to offer a more streamlined process and help ensure a much smoother and more reliable delivery experience for you.

Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention.

Warmly,

I received what eventually turned out to be a fraudulent email supposedly from this company regarding a declined payment for their products. After some correspondence, the matter has quickly been resolved.

Good afternoon,

Thank you so much for reaching out and for bringing this suspicious email to our attention. We completely understand how unsettling and concerning it can be to receive communications that appear fraudulent, especially when they use a brand name you trust. Please know that we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share this with us; your vigilance helps us protect everyone in our community.

We want to assure you that we take these matters incredibly seriously. Upon reviewing your details, we couldn't find any record of attempted transactions linked to your email address, nor any recent contact from us that would correspond with the emails you received. This strongly indicates that these messages did not originate from Kiehl's.

To help you secure your information, we would strongly recommend a few steps:

• Contact your bank: It's always a good idea to reach out to your bank to confirm that no unauthorised transactions have been attempted from your end.
• Mark as spam/phishing: Please mark these emails as spam or phishing within your email service provider. This helps them identify and block similar malicious attempts in the future.
• General security advice: If you have any concerns about the overall security of your accounts, data, or devices, we highly recommend consulting the expert advice provided by the UK Government's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) at www.ncsc.gov.uk. They offer valuable guidance for individuals and businesses alike.

Unfortunately, these types of scams, where fraudsters exploit well-known brand names and easily accessible email services, are becoming increasingly common. We are continuously working behind the scenes to combat these fraudulent activities, including engaging in frequent dialogue with providers like Google to help tackle these issues at their source.

Your proactive approach in reporting such incidents is invaluable in helping us maintain a secure online environment for all our cherished customers.

Should you encounter any similar suspicious emails or have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best wishes,

Scammed

They sent me an offer that gives £20 off when spending £60 or more. I buy two products, one for £55 and another for £75. Order goes through fine. Next day i get an email saying they have run out of stock of the £75 item, which means i no longer get the £20 discount which is only reason i decided to shop on their site. Very convenient for Kiehl’s to alter the purchase agreement after the sale, less so for me.

Good morning,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience and disappointment you faced when placing your order, and we sincerely apologise that we were unable to meet your expectations on this occasion.

We completely understand your frustration when a desired product is unavailable, especially during a special promotion. You've highlighted an important challenge we sometimes face: while our distribution centre works tirelessly to process orders and replenish stock, periods of high demand can unfortunately lead to temporary stock shortages for our most popular items, sometimes even within the same day. We are always striving to maintain consistent availability and are continuously working to refine our processes to minimise such occurrences and ensure a smoother shopping experience for everyone.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us. It helps us gain valuable insights into where we can improve and better serve our customers in the future. Please know that we are taking your comments to heart as we endeavour to enhance our services and ensure our beloved products are available when you want them.

Website awful, service meh

Products are great, but customer experience is dire. Website is awful, throws errors without telling the user why (so basic), and address matching is useless - they’re sending the product to my billing address, not the address I selected despite being clear on this. Customer service was mediocre too; raised this with them, completely overlooked it. Really disappointing. No point in having good products if people can’t get them properly.

Get samples of EVERYTHING before you pay out for a full size product

Bought an £80 moisturiser on a recommendation that it would be good for my skin type. It made it worse after a few uses and after a month I gave up. Messaged customer service as I have barely used 1/5th of the jar (usually something I find wonderful with Kiehl's - products last a long time). They won't do anything, not even offer any kind of voucher or credit considering I have spent hundreds on the ranges over the years and cannot use this really expensive item. They just don't care, reported as saying they value their customers and skin care, obviously not that much or they would care that lots of people are saying the same thing about this particular product. Usually their range is good and works well with my skin, is good value for.the amount and longevity..but this has put me off for good

Don't trust Kiehl's and Loreal with your data

I just spoke to Rob and Leo in your 'customer service' group. I have bought Kiehl’s products for the last c20 years and never ever have I thought about leaving as a customer. Today is the day. Not because of your products but because of your horrendous ethics in dealing with issues when you fall over. Not only does it appear as you have mishandled and compromised my data thorugh your non-functioning (dis)loyalty scheme but you have the indecency to gaslight me.

I would recommend everyone to make sure they do not trust Kiehl’s and their owners, Loreal with the data and if they must buy the products they should be them through a third party.

only half the order fulfilled....

my first and last experience with kiehl's

I was recommend and went on to their website to see both a promotion and a few useful products. I order to the amount I qualify for the the promotion,

received, half my order. no promotion package extras.

messaging their support I'm told the products were out of stock and I wasn't charge.... this was true I wasn't but no notification, no option to change my order, the website stated in stock...…..

I spent 48euro on one product and feel its a waste. it feels if you want to order from this website its litrally a gamble if you will receive your items let alone qualify for any running promotion. there is no guarantee you will receive the items you order so why bother.

Just dont. not satisfactory support, if you need the product. i wont gamble with these

Products on their site aren't always in stock / available

Recently made an order via the Kiels UK website; one item wasn't sent because it was out of stock - I received no communication on this, nor offered a similar product (the product I ordered as a ltd edition packaging version of their regular product).

Sent an email to state the lack of communication on the product that was available to order, but out of stock.

This was in addition to other products I ordered, but ultimately I would not have made the order had I known part would not be delivered.

It took seven days to get a generic response (via L'Oreal UK customer support), which which basically stated, yes it was their fault, they are sorry and look to improve their systems - BUT - nothing to help, no offer of an alternative product etc. What is the point of 'Customer Care' if no solution can be offered for the customer? I total waste of time.

For context, I've been using Kiehl's for 20+ years after first discovering them in NYC, before they were widely available in the UK.

Experience and product has always been excellent, but based on this experience and feedback I won't be making an order from the site again - instead I will go to their stores where you are able to see what is in stock.

Dear Piers,

Please accept our sincerest apologies for the recent experience you had with us. We are truly sorry that the service you received did not meet the high standards we strive for at Kiehl's, and we understand your disappointment regarding the out-of-stock item you ordered. We deeply regret that our system did not notify you about the stock issue before your order was processed.

We understand how frustrating it can be to anticipate a delivery and then discover it's not coming as expected. You've raised a very valid point about the possibility of product substitutions. While our current system doesn't accommodate this, we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We'll definitely share your feedback with the Ecommerce team as it's a valuable suggestion that could greatly improve our customer experience.

Once again, we apologise for the disappointment caused, and thank you for your valuable feedback – it helps us immensely in our continuous efforts to improve.

Order never came and no customer service response

Order KIEA203941shipped on 25 March, last update on Royal Mail website was 27 March as “in transit”, and parcel never came. I was asked to wait for the 14-day delivery timeline to pass, so I waited until 8 April. Sent Contact Form to customer service to ask for a refund to be processed, no response at all. What standard of service is this? At this day and age of e-commerce.

Update: no email response still until 15 April. I have provided additional info requested by Kiehl’s per their response below (on 15 April). Let’s see when my refund can be processed.

Terrible customer service!

Terrible customer service!
They fob you off and don’t care about your concerns.

I am no longer a customer.

Update: response from below. I’ve received an email with noreply mailbox.

I’ve deleted my account so no point following this up. Can’t win me back.

Missing parcel worth £110

I ordered on a Friday before midday and paid £9.95 for next day Saturday delivery. I got an email later in the evening saying it had been shipped. I also got a notification from DPD to say they were expecting my parcel. It’s now Monday evening and nothing…
I checked the DPD app and it says they’re expecting the parcel but haven’t received it yet. I emailed Keihls to ask where it is and request a refund of my postage and heard nothing. I’m not impressed. I’m a regular Keihls customer and their customer service is awful. I think it’s time to switch brands

I used to use Kiehls all the time

I used to use Kiehls all the time, even though it's not particularly cheap but now they've closed most of thier shops, I have to rely on their terrible website. The last 3 orders have either turned up very late or not at all. I then have to chase them to get my money back.
