Timber delivered to the wrong address
Timber delivered to the wrong address, not even in the same village. The woman I spoke to at TVE didn’t believe me!!! She had no empathy at all. I had to cancel my carpenter, as we could not get the long timber in any car. They really were very unsympathetic and very unhelpful. Not sure of the exact date, I’ve tried to forget the ghastly experience! 🤬

Hi Bonnie,
We're very sorry to hear how upsetting this experience was for you. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have your timber delivered to the wrong address, and the disruption it caused to your plans.
As a small business, we rely heavily on the courier services we use to deliver our products safely and on time. In this case, the delivery error was made by the courier, and while we did everything we could to resolve it quickly - including chasing them daily for updates - we regret that the process took longer than it should have.
We appreciate how stressful this must have been, especially with your carpenter booked and unable to proceed. We're also sorry if our communication felt unsympathetic at any point - that was certainly not our intention.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re reviewing how we handle courier issues to ensure future situations are managed with greater care and clarity.
Best wishes,
The Victorian Emporium

As the mirror I purchased is not in stock and has been discontinued you have refunded me. This item should have been removed from your website.
Emma was most efficient so full marks to her.

Dear Madelaine,
Thank you for your feedback, Madelaine. We're genuinely sorry that the mirror you ordered was no longer available - it's always disappointing when an item turns out to be discontinued, and you're absolutely right that it should have been removed from the website sooner. We're reviewing our internal processes to help prevent this from happening again.
We're very glad to hear that Emma was able to assist you efficiently- she’ll be thrilled to receive your kind words. While we regret that your overall experience didn’t reflect the standards we aim for, we do appreciate you taking the time to share it. If you feel that Emma’s service helped balance out the inconvenience, we’d kindly ask you to consider updating your star rating to reflect that. It makes a real difference to small businesses like ours.
Your comments help us improve, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Warm regards,
The Victorian Emporium Team

Good service
Good service, would have been 5 star if information regarding how much wallpaper paste is needed per roll was given on the website.

Thank you for your kind review—we’re glad to hear you were happy with the service overall.
We really appreciate your suggestion regarding wallpaper paste quantities. That’s a helpful detail, and we agree it would make planning easier for customers. We’ll look into adding clearer guidance on this to our product pages to improve the experience.
Thanks again for your feedback - it helps us get better.
Kind regards,

Samples were ordered & acknowledged 27th May but arrived Thursday 24th July!!
So too late I've ordered elsewhere and they've lost business. Very poor service.

Resposta da The Victorian Emporium
We're truly sorry for the delay in getting your samples to you. Unfortunately, both we and the manufacturer were out of stock at the time of your request, which led to a much longer wait than expected. Regrettably, we also failed to notify you about the delay, which we fully acknowledge was a mistake on our part.
We understand how disappointing this must have been - especially as it meant you had to source your items elsewhere. We’re reviewing our communication processes to ensure that future customers are kept better informed in similar situations.
Thank you for your feedback, and again, our sincere apologies.
Order still hasn’t arrived after 6 weeks
We placed an order for trims on 17th June, it’s now 23rd July and it still hasn’t arrived. We have had multiple excuses and lies. I spoke to the person in the office who literally shouted down the phone at me about my review. She told me that the order was dispatched on Monday, however I then received a call from the company who manufactured who told me the item would be dispatched tonight. I’d rather buy direct from the manufacturers than ever buy from Victorian emporium again

Dear Marcia,
We're genuinely sorry for the delay in fulfilling your order. Unfortunately, production took significantly longer than anticipated due to stock shortages at the time of purchase. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we regret the inconvenience caused.
Your order was dispatched two days ago and should be arriving imminently. Throughout this process, we've responded promptly to both your and your partner’s calls and emails, aiming to keep you informed at every stage. We appreciate your continued engagement with us, and we hope that reflects our commitment to resolving issues rather than misleading customers.
We also note that this is your fourth order with us since 2022, which we take as a sign of trust in our products and service. We're disappointed that your experience this time has led to such strong feelings, and we’ll be reviewing the communication around this order to ensure it’s handled better in future.
Thank you again for your feedback, and sincere apologies once more.
superbly helpful
Emma was superbly helpful. The fabric swatch I ordered took a long time to turn up but this was down to their suppliers and she kept me updated with its progress and assured me once the suppliers had it back in stock it would be order.
Very helpful and great stuff on their website.

Thank you so much for your lovely review—I'm really glad I could help, even though the swatch took longer than expected to arrive. I completely understand how frustrating that wait must have been, and I appreciate your patience while we chased things up with the supplier.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed browsing our website too! If you ever need help with anything else, I’m just an email or call away.
Thanks again for your kind words - it means a lot.
Warm regards,

Hi,
We're sorry to hear your order didn’t arrive as quickly as you’d hoped, and that one of the tiles was damaged in transit. Had you contacted us with a photo of the broken tile, we would have replaced it free of charge, in line with our policy.
We always encourage customers to report any damage promptly so we can resolve it without delay.
Kind regards
Why is shipping SOOOO expensive?
Why is shipping SOOOO expensive?! £50 for some trim
31 de maio de 2025

Resposta da The Victorian Emporium
Thanks for your feedback. We completely understand that £50 can feel steep for delivery, especially for smaller items. The cost is set by the courier for long items over 2.2m, which require special handling and transport - this applies to trims up to 6m in length. We don’t add any markup to delivery charges; customers pay exactly what we’re charged.
If you're able to accept shorter lengths under 2m, we’re happy to offer a reduced delivery rate. We always aim to be transparent about these options on our website and during checkout.
We appreciate your comments and hope this helps clarify things.

Hi Homer,
Thank you for your feedback, and we're genuinely sorry to hear you're unhappy with the wait.
We did send an email on April 15th regarding your order, but it’s possible it may have landed in your spam or junk folder. Please advise your order number so we can have a look into this.
Many of our items are made to order, with lead times that can extend up to 12 weeks—particularly for bespoke products like carpets, lighting, lamp posts, and radiators. We understand this isn’t ideal, and we’re working to improve communication around these timelines.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly if you need any further assistance. We’d love the opportunity to resolve this and restore your confidence in us.
Kind regards,
The Victorian Emporium
Incredibly slow.
Great range of quality products. The first time I ordered a sample weeks later when I queried why it was taking so long, I was then told its was not available. Second sample I am still waiting. Takes for ever. Once I do get sample, will be shopping around.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to do so.
We’re sorry that your first sample was unavailable, and we completely understand how frustrating the delay must have been. As for your second sample, this was dispatched the very next day after your order. If you haven’t received it yet, please do let us know, and we’ll be happy to look into it for you.
At The Victorian Emporium, we take great pride in offering a wide range of quality products and ensuring our customers receive the best possible service. If there’s anything else we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We have purchased several items over…
We have purchased several items over the past few years and each time the products have arrived on time and in perfect condition. Recently we received a delivery, which was stored prior to use. Eventually we came to use the products and found we were short. We subsequently contacted TVE and said that even though the delivery note said the correct quantity we may not have received all of the items. TVE checked there despatch records and straight away identified that they had indeed not sent all of the goods. This honesty was greatly appreciated as they could quite easily have said that all goods had been despatched and we would have ordered additional items assuming we had misplaced them.

3 inch tall slips
Many, if not most Victorian bricks are 3 inches (75mm) tall. Surprisingly this is one of the few companies selling 3 inch bricks!!
So thus warrents 5 stares. Shame on all the other slip sellers.
