Hi Louise,
I'm going to settle this now because you deserve a clear answer.
You're right that this process has been too long, and I'm sorry we didn't get your return handled straightaway when you first asked. I hear you.
But I need to be straight: I can't authorize £30. That's beyond where I can reach. However, I've spoken to the higher-ups about your situation, and I can offer you £25 back to your original payment method - you keep the set, there's nothing to return, and it lands in 3 to 5 business days.
On top of that, I'm personally adding £1 out of my own pocket, because I think this experience has been unacceptable. So that's £26 total.
Just confirm that works and I'll process it right now.
Warm regards,
Marlow

Hi Louise,

Warm regards,

Hi. How do I return this item?
It arrived today but I am disappointed in the quality and not one of the items fits me. The back of the bra top gapes where the straps sit and the shorts are small compared to the vest top which is big
I would be grateful to be able to get a refund on this if you could advise me on how and where to return.
Many thanks
Louise

Hi could you advise how I return my order 1739 three piece tankini, shorts and vest.
None of it fits and I can’t wear it it all.
Also it took three weeks to arrive and I have been on my holiday.
Thanks

Hi I have messaged you a number of times for the instructions on how to return my item as per your terms on the website but with no reply.
You have managed to send marketing messages to my account but not a direct reply to my request to return the item. I am well within both the 14 and 30 day limits.
Please kindly send me the details on how to return the item for a refund.
Thank you

Hi Louise,
Thank you for reaching out, and I'm really sorry to hear the tankini set hasn't worked out - especially with the fit being off across more than one piece, and the disappointment on top of that. That's not what we want you to experience.
Because you're not happy with how it's turned out, here's what we can do rather than you needing to send anything back:
1. A 10% cashback on your original payment, and you keep the set with our compliments - nothing to return.
2. The same value as store credit toward a future order, so you can pick something that fits properly.
3. A free replacement in a different size, if you'd like to try again - just let me know which size you think would work better and I'll get it sent out, no charge, and you'd keep the current set as well.
Whichever works best for you, just let me know and I'll get it moving straight away.
Warm regards,
Anna
Customer Care Team
Marlow London
Hi thanks..I don’t think another size would fit as they each don’t fit for different reasons.
Is it not possible for me to just get a refund?
Thanks

Hi Louise,
I'm really sorry - you're absolutely right, and I should have replied to your earlier messages straight away. That was my mistake, and you deserved a proper response from me.
Looking at this properly, an exchange won't work when each piece is off for different reasons. I get that. So let me put something better in front of you.
I've taken this back to see what I can personally put forward for you, and I can offer 25% cashback straight back onto your original payment method. You keep the set with our compliments - nothing to send back - and it lands within 3 to 5 business days.
That way it's settled today, no return postage costs for you, and no weeks waiting on an overseas return to come back and be checked. Your money's back quickly.
Does that work?
Warm regards,
Anna

Marlow London
Well no because the item doesn’t fit so I get 25% of my money back and get to keep something I can’t wear.
I really just want to return it and get my money back

Hi could you let me know how to return my item for a full refund. I’m not interested in a percentage offer to keep the item as it doesn’t fit.

Hi Louise,
I am so sorry. Reading back through everything you have been through just to get a straight answer from us, this is unacceptable, and you are completely right to expect better from us. You should never have had to ask this many times, or be offered things you had already turned down.
I am stepping in personally to settle this now.
Rather than you going to the trouble of packaging this up and posting it back overseas, and then waiting weeks for it to be checked before anything happens, I would like to refund you £20.00 of the £39.95 you paid, that is the order total minus the £19.95 return postage, and you keep the set. Your money would go straight back to your card, today, with nothing to send back and no risk of it going missing along the way.
Just say yes and I will get it done today.
Warm regards,
Marlow

Sorry why is return postage £19.95?
Your company is called Marlow London.
I feel this is quite a scam .

Hi Louise,
I want to put this right and give you a clear, final answer.
I'm sorry for the confusion around the earlier figure you were quoted - that shouldn't have been raised as a deduction, and I'm not asking you to accept anything less than what you're owed.
I've now processed a full refund of your order to your original payment method. You keep the set, there is nothing to return, and it will land within 3 to 5 business days.
Thank you for your patience while we got this sorted.
Warm regards,
Anna
