Review would have better but one of the four glasses was broken (it has now been replaced at no cost to me) and there was a mixup with my address.

My order 519973 (or 7841128 since there seem to be a mess up with my order number) was placed on 12 May 2023, with the promise that it would be shipped in 5 business days. Now, after 14 business days, while my order has still not arrived, the after sales of Cookinglife do not reply to any of my e-mails, WhatsApp messages or don't pick up the phone (after 30 minutes waiting, it automatically hangs up). Extremely lousy after-sales service (I would put no stars at all if that was an option). I have been a satisfied customer so far but this was the last time I ordered something from Cookinglife.

Money refund

Main reasons for low rating are customer service and money refund. For more details, read below. Despite several attempts (by e-mail / web contact form / phone) to get response from cookinglife.eu regarding refund I received neither money back nor reply concerning delay of money transfer after period of 10 business days after my return was processed. Btw: processing of return took unusual long time. I was successful to reach customer service by phone finally on Monday this week and got response by e-mail on Tuesday. It was told me that my refund should be settled until next day. The e-mail communication led to nowhere and didn't follow up my issue so far. The result today is that nothing changed and refund is still not transferred. I have to say, that this is my worst experience over past years. To be objective, I state that the delivery was fulfilled in a timely manner and the packaging and consequently goods were all right. All in all, I miss hundreds of euros.

Terrible experience with the carrier DHL which was chosen by Cookinglife. Not only did they not deliver to my home address when I was there all week but they also lied and said that they couldn't reach me. A complete lie. To make things even worse, I had to go at my own expense to their chosen pick up point only to find out that no one was there despite being there during opening hours. It was a one man shop and the owner was not there. I will never use cookinglife again. I was on the verge of placing a 3rd and much bigger order but will give the business to another vendor.

Disgraceful service

We placed an order (523228) over a month ago. So far we received only 1 item and for the second one there is no way to get any feedback. No answer to the several emails sent, no answer on WhatsApp, return online form not working, never ending queue on the phone to have the line systematically dropped after half an hour. Disgraceful service, I only wish we found Trustedshops.eu before we placed to order.

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you did not receive your order in its completeness. We apologise for this inconvenience. We apologise for the poor communication! We do our best to provide a response on all platforms as soon as possible, however, we have not yet fully cleared the backlog caused by the transition of systems, which has prevented us from responding within the required timeframe. Unfortunately, with the information, given here, we cannot find an order in the system. The e-mail used to post this review is not known in our system and the same goes for the order number.                                            If you have sent us a message, we will respond as soon as possible. Unfortunately, due to the backlog this may take longer than you are used to from us. We are working hard to clear this backlog so that we can provide you with a better service in the future! Apologies again for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Team Cookinglife

13 items ordered - all advertised as having estimated delivery in 4-6 working days. After order placed, Cookinglife sent e-mail advising that "some" (unidentified) ordered items not in stock and I would have to await their receiving new stock from their supplier. Several weeks later situation remained the same. I phoned several times to inquire which items were available (3 out of 13) and asked that these be sent and the balance of the order rescinded.Subsequently I had to phone to request refund of my overpayment which Cookinglife did expedite. Cookinglife appears to be the only supplier of Frigoverre to eu residents. As I still need some items, on 12 June I placed a new order (524425) for 3 items advertised with estimated delivery 4-6 working days. Same outcome - Cookinglife sent e-mail claiming part or all of my order is not in stock and delivery must await their receiving new stock from their supplier. This appears to be how they run their business. If I fail to receive notice of shipment within two more weeks I will contact my bank to withhold payment for the new order until items have been received.

Dear customer, Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our service. We have recently switched to a different system. This is because in our previous system, many messages, such as emails and Whatsapps, did not arrive. However, the transition of these systems causes an unwanted delay in all processes around order processing. As a result, we were also unable to respond within the required time. Our apologies for this! I see in the system that your order has now been delivered. Apologies again for the inconvenience and we hope you enjoy your purchase! Kind regards, Team Cookinglife

haven't returned my money back (256.4 EUR)

Hi there! Cookinglife.eu hasn't replied to my previous emails during the last month. I have forwarded them my last order that Smartpost (Estonian post) has sent on July 21st back to them (order #JVGL06143473001959557237) because almost all items (Royal Doulton plates) in the package were broken. I would like to request the money back from them 256,4 EUR for those items that were ordered in the initial order on JUNE 13th (#524773), and since that time haven’t been delivered yet. Kindly make 256,4 EUR return and I won’t order anything again from you. I have been waiting this order for a long time, and still haven’t received it fully. I need the funds back as soon as possible. Cheers

Website does not fill in correct address. Support does not fix it.

I had a horrible experience with cookinglife. If your address is more than a normal amount of characters, it just cuts the address out without any warning. I immediately contacted cookinglife about this issue (over a week of time before it was "delivered"). They just did not respond back to me and now it is being delivered to the wrong address. I would recommend using a different retailer. I emailed many many times and did not get a response back. Now I am working with my credit card to get a refund. Not worth the hassle. Once you place an order they immediately warn you that orders might take months to ship because of a migration they are working on.

Very disappointed.

I placed my order 10 days ago and heard nothing. I did not expect a big delay for a product coming from the Netherlands. I am disappointed and wish that i had not ordered. I have now had feed back asking me for patience as they are having many problems. I am not been given any hope of receiving my order any time soon meanwhile I have paid for it. I would like a refund but again I do not have much hope. I would not have given even one star but had no other option. I would not order from this company again. Trusted Shops association gave me confidence to order from this company.

Orders take a long time and they only send standard answers. I ordered on September 29th and when it was 10 days over and no update at DHL, I emailed them and they sent back three FAQ's to say that orders should take 3-6 days to arrive to my door. So there was no help in actually looking up the order or reading my email. The parcel has not arrived, today is 16 October. Not worth the wait. If you need some kitchen utensil, do you really want to wait 3 weeks, especially if they are not even helping to see why it hasn't shipped?

Broken dishes and very expensive returns

When we first ordered we ordered a to small size, we thought we could just return it but in fine print you must pay for the shipping fee AND. You must only use DHL. That would have cost from Finland over 399e, so we decided to re order and just deal with our lost, now this time with the right size . The packaging was so poor on the ceramic dish that they broke. As being a small restaurant maybe it’s better we just skip this website all together we can help to feel awkwardly cheated

They don't respond to contact messages.

Made an order then 5 minuites later found the same item £20 cheaper and with next day delivery so immediately contacted them to cancel. No response then 2 days later the item ships. Now when it eventually arrives (10 days later) I'll have to go through the rigmarole of sending it back again, costing me and them unnecessary shipping. Pain in the arse.

Unfortunately there was an error in the quantity of my order and the colour. Cooking Life has neither resounded to my whatsapp email nor phone calls. If they would contact me it could be resolved without this review. It’s the first time I haven’t had a good experience with Cooking Life Order number 686022 please contact me

Don‘t state delivery times on your website you can‘t keep

I ordered a salad bowl from Villeroy & Boch. On the website it states delivery 2-4 days. First I was informed that there would be a delay only to be told a few days later that the item is not in stock and they are waiting for a delivery from one of their suppliers - no delivery date to me given now.

Do not buy from these people

The item I purchased was of such poor quality that it was completely unfit for purpose - as in totally useless. I sent a polite email to Cookinglife (with images) explaining the issue - guess what... I got completely ignored. Have tried again over a week later. Let's see what happens.

Order placed and payed on 14.6.2023, arrived 21.6.2023 damaged. Return request created the same day. Still not received all of the replaced items (just one bowl), not answering return request, not answering on phone, not answering on email..., the worst experience ever.
