Dear Ginni,
Thank you so much for your understanding, and I am genuinely sorry for the disappointment this has caused. You have been incredibly patient through all of this.
Your refund is being processed to your original payment method and should land within 3 to 5 business days. You do not need to send anything back.
I do hope we can get the manufacturing sorted quickly so this does not happen again. Your feedback has gone straight to the team.
Please do get in touch if there is anything at all.
Warm regards,
Anna

When I ordered some items (order #2149) earlier this
month (12th) I was under the impression I would get it within the
week. I didn’t know it was coming from China and therefore would
take as long at it is taking to arrive. I feel I have been
mislead by the delivery information in your website and am not
impressed. Still haven’t received my order and am reluctant to
shop from you again.
Hi Ginni,
Thank you for reaching out, and I am genuinely sorry to hear this. I completely understand your frustration, especially if you were expecting your order within a week and it still has not turned up.
To be honest with you, our current shipping times are longer than the usual week because our order volume has been much higher than normal during our ongoing sale. That is on us, and I am sorry this was not clearer for you when you ordered, I can see why that feels misleading.
Your order #2149 is confirmed as in transit and moving. You can follow it here: https://marlow-london.com/apps/parcelpanel?nums=4PX3002979303813CN
From where it currently stands, I would expect it to arrive within about 7 to 12 days.
I am really sorry for the wait and the confusion this has caused. As a token from us for the trouble, here is a code for your next order: STORECREDIT15
If it has not arrived within that window, or there is anything else at all, just let me know and I will look into it further for you straightaway.
Warm regards,
Anna

Order #2149
I have waited nearly a month for this order to arrive and it
finally came through today. I have just tried it on and the
finish is not the same as advertised. The shorts are like skin
tight cycling shorts with tight, smooth elasticated waistband
which is uncomfortable. I have very thin thighs and the shorts do
not flare loosely as portrayed in the image and the Facebook
video which was part of the appeal as it looked elegant and
feminine. The waistband is not finely ribbed like on your website
indicating the manufacturing is different and the whole outfit
feels cheap and is not the mature elegant look I thought I was
getting . I am really disappointed as I have been so looking
forward to receiving this. Is there some sort of solution before
I seek a refund? Thanks, Ginni
Hi Ginni,
Thank you for reaching out, and I am sorry to hear the tankini set felt cheap and did not fit the way you were hoping. That is honestly not the standard we want to be sending out.
I want to be upfront with you, it sounds like yours may have come from a batch that was not up to our usual quality, and I have already flagged this with our manufacturer so it gets corrected and does not happen to you, or anyone else, again.
Our whole goal is for you to have a piece you genuinely love, and we have not managed that yet, so I would really like to put it right by sending you a fresh replacement, on us, with no need to return the one you already have. As a sincere apology for the letdown, I can also add a 20 percent cashback to your order on top of that.
I would really love the chance to get you one you actually love. Just let me know which you would prefer and I will get it moving straight away.
Warm regards,
Anna

Dear Anna,
Thank you for your reply and for your openness. I was really looking forward to having the set as advertised so if there is a chance I get achieve this then I would very much appreciate a replacement.
Regards,
Ginni

Hi Ginni,
I have checked with our manufacturer and confirmed that your order was part of a faulty batch, which is completely unacceptable, and we are noting it so it does not happen again.
Perfect, thank you for confirming. I have arranged your fresh replacement of the Honoria Sporty Three-Piece Tankini Set in Teal and Red Floral - UK 10, and it is being sent to the same address as your original order. You do not need to do anything further, and please do keep the item you already received with our compliments.
As discussed, I am also processing a 20 percent cashback to your original payment method as a sincere apology for the letdown - this should land within 3 to 5 business days.
This time, we will make sure it is done right.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi Ginni,
I need to be straight with you and walk something back. I offered you a replacement, and I should not have - this was a quality issue with how the set is made, not a one-off faulty parcel, so a fresh one from the same manufacturer would very likely arrive the same way: same tight elasticated waistband, same fit, same finish. Sending you another one would just risk disappointing you a second time, and that is not fair on you.
So I have stopped the replacement, and instead your order is now refunded in full, on top of the 20 percent you already received, back to your original payment method. You do not need to send anything back, and there is no cost to you either way.
I am sorry it took this back-and-forth to get you the right outcome, and sorry the set was not what the video and photos promised.
Warm regards,
Anna

Dear Anna,
I am sorry to hear this. I won't pretend I am not disappointed but I do
appreciate your honesty and I understand your position.
I hope the manufacturing issue is resolved soon
Best,
Ginni
