Ordered an item on 12/13 for Christmas. Even with this year's shipping delays, most companies online are guaranteeing Christmas delivery with orders up to 12/17 or 18. Many other companies are also offering free or reasonable shipping costs. H-S charged $23.95 for shipping and something called "service". I decided to go ahead and pay because I really wanted this item for my husband for Christmas and because, to me, if I'm paying almost $25 for shipping (for a sweater for goodness sake!), then I'm certain to get my item by December 24th, right? Nope. After zero communication, I finally get an email with a tracking number that tells my my item will arrive on 12/28. 12/28!!!! Having been ordered on 12/13 and with a $23.95 shipping fee. Absolutely ridiculous. Somehow, REI, LL Bean, Orvis, and EVERY other vendor I ordered from has managed to get my gifts to me on time without charging $23.95. And don't even get me started on the completely USELESS customer service 1-800 number. I will never be ordering from H-S again, and I highly recommend no one else does either.

I was looking for storage for my vinyl records. There is one which is basically cubes , like the ikea ones. It holds 800 records.... so nothing small but nothing huge either. Price ?
Guess
It costs over 2K .
Let us laugh .....
hahaha haha hahahahaha! There are always rich tourists around i guess. Or wanna be hip contenders.
You can get the same for about 50 -80 second hand.

I ordered the 7 1/2' "Thousand Points of Light" tree on November 28th. In those three weeks, I've checked the status numerous times, and it always said "In process". Today, I reconciled my bank account and found that the transaction had been removed. I checked the order status and it still said "In process".
So, I called them today to find out what was going on and, allegedly, the tree was sold out, even though it was still available when I ordered it. I never once got a single update via email as to the status, and if I hadn't noticed that the transaction was gone from my bank account, I guess I would have been just left wondering, indefinitely, when the tree was coming. No one ever once emailed me to say that the order was canceled, or that the tree was apparently no longer available. There was no explanation for how/why the tree became "sold out" after the fact when it was available at the time that I purchased it. There has been zero communication from Hammacher Schlemmer.

Zero explanation and absolutely zero customer service.

Ordered an exclusive sweater several weeks before Christmas. I never received an email confirming my order. The only way I knew I had an order was 3 weeks later I see the charge as Pending. Now no more pending and I haven't been charged. I believe they sell merchandise they don't have. Now the website says the expected ship date is 1/8/21. Worst company ever, where is my email order confirmation? Stay away from this company, you will only have headaches! New update, now the sweater has an anticipated shipping of 2/4/21. WOW, don't waste your time and money!

If I could give negative stars, i would. Horrible and unprofessional company. I ordered a product at the end of November. Few days later I had a notification that it was "shipped". They ended up "shipping" the batteries and not the product. They told me the product was back ordered and would be delivered 12/11. I received another email saying it would be 12/14. Then another email stating 12/17...At this point I canceled the order altogether. They told me since the batteries had "shipped" they couldn't refund my money. The batteries haven't even shipped, they just created the label. Which means they lied to me... TERRIBLE company.

I ordered men’s slippers size 12. HS sent women’s tennis shoes size 10. I returned the shoes and they sent the slippers to the wrong address. I had to pay a $25 postage fee to forward the slippers to correct address (where they had sent the shoes). They refused to refund me the $25. Very sloppy customer service and retail practices.

I purchased a large, expensive Christmas tree a couple years ago. Beautiful looking tree. However, there is now a portion of the lights out. Although the booklet says "if one burns out, 10 will be out." I've replaced over a dozen so far. The frustrating part is the difficulty in trying to figure out which one is bad. Getting bulbs out of socket, and correctly back in, is extremely difficult. I have spent over 3-hours of my time on this string and have yet to figure it out. I've got to say, in hindsight, this was one of my worst purchases given the cost of the tree. Would NOT do it again.

Purchased 18 ft Frosty for Christmas decoration in yard a year ago. The cheap plastic base broke and he is no longer functional. Called to get replacement and was told that they cannot replace him since he is no longer available (although the web site still sells them). Have to ship him back and it will take 3-4 weeks to receive a store credit instead of refund. Lots of bad reviews on BBB regarding customer service and same type of responses. Have spent over $1000 with them over last year. Sad how they treat people. No longer going to be a customer.

Wasn't sure about buying an artificial christmas tree online without seeing it first so I called the NY store and the person who I spoke with (no wait to talk with someone) described them but was also nice enough to text me photos of all the trees on the floor so I could see more real life photos than the website. We ended up ordering the Concolor one. It arrived within about a week. It's actually an amazing tree that is nearly indistinguishable from a real tree until you are about a foot away, we are kind of blown away by it. The tree has far exceeded our expectations. I'm writing this review because the negative ones I saw on this site nearly scared me away. It sounds like customer service might be tough from these reviews, but I'm here to say the tree is truly beautiful.

I used to shop Hammacher-Schlemmer with confidence and satisfaction. It's painful to relate they've gone from a company of repute to something similar to what used to advertise inside comic book covers. Their online customer service would be laughable if wasn't so aggravating. I guess they're only paying attention to their high-roller customers and the rest of us can just sit around and wait till they feel good and ready to pay us any attention. I won't be troubling them further and I highly recommend you do the same.

Don't buy online from them; especially around the holidays or if you wanted an item as a gift. I ordered a bathrobe for my mother about 2 months ago, and got an email that it would be shipped mid-December but that they couldn't guarantee when it would ship. After waiting those 2 months with no shipping update, I realized that I wouldn't be able to get the item on time for when our family opens gifts, so I emailed customer service and asked for the item to be cancelled. I received no response back that day: but that night it was marked as shipped. Which I find suspicious since they obviously just didn't want to cancel my order. Then the next day customer service emailed back to say sorry but the order was shipped so we can't cancel. As of now the order still hasn't technically shipped, since the tracking information they gave me only proves that they made a shipping label, nothing has been scanned and nothing has actually been shipped to me. Dishonest company that isn't worth your time; especially around Christmas.

NO NO NO! Cheaper anywhere else. Knowing you should always order this stuff early, I placed my original order in early September. Though finally got the right tree, I'm still waiting for power cord to use it & December 1st is tomorrow!

They have 2 similar names for 2 different models adding to the confusion.

The WHITE Northern Lights (NO CHRISTMAS) Tree.
Tree is white.

The (NO WHITE) Northern Lights CHRISTMAS Tree
Tree is green.

1. First wrong tree. We returned at PO. Took 6 weeks to receive before sending replacement Though a fedex return label the go back-and-forth about taking it to fedex or the Post Office.

2. Even with very clear instructions for exchange, sent same wrong tree again. We tried to return but would not accept because label they keep emailing not scannable.

3. Right tree came with no power cord. Still waiting!

4. Just to get power cord as none available, now supposed to return 3rd tree (on deck) which is the right one so they can send me out 4th tree (right model) just to get the power cord.

Currently, I think a 4th tree has been sent out and was sent only so I can get the power cord since they didn't have them in back stock. They are now expecting me to package up the one I have-finally the right one and send back!! I have sent back 2 already. These are 7.5 Ft trees which are heavy & awkward to carry.

Separate order. Wrong wreath & garland sent which are supposed to look same as tree & have to return canceling order.

The display on the website shows the Garland going all around the door from from the floor to ceiling but I only received 2' & like wreath wrong.

I have talked to so many customer service people who can't help after an average of 45 minute holds then disconnected. They email you labels to print or be scanned that don't work which you only find out after you've waited in long lines at the Post Office/Fedex. The return labels are all Fedex but they insist you go to the Post Office and neither will accept.

DON'T DO IT!
I want to send it all back & be done! They just won't send/email labels that work!

The billing nightmare being charged for multiple trees has just begun.

Do not touch this company! They charged my credit card for “membership” I never agreed to after 1 year of my purchase! When I called, the customer service tried to confused the conception to “terminate” my membership in the future but refused to refund me the charge. Have to call my credit company for the dispute.

Haven't yet used the holiday crackers - haven't received my entire order, nearly month later. I ordered and paid for 2 sets. Received 1. Then, 2nd got lost during shipping and customer service wouldn't contact FedEx to track it down. Now, awaiting 3rd shipment. Don't usually review before use, but had to comment on such poor service. Will not order anything from them again.

I purchased a lighted Cghristmas display from this company. It was received defective, primarily because the people who banded the pieces together at the factory damaged the product. I wrote a review at H-S and they would not post it since it was "not directly about the product".. The company evidently does not quality check products before they ship them out and don't take responsibility for the product arriving safely and in working condition. I would recommend buying products from more responsible providers. They are also quick to charge your card for a purchase but very slow to reverse the process when something is wrong.

Very unhappy and dissapointed, We ordered something really expensive with these people and we never got the complete order. Please do not buy anything from them. They lie to people and customer service is not helpfull.

My husband had ordered Frosty the snowman with the projector, we NEVER received the item and they NEVER refunded his money. DO NOT BUY anything from this scam company. They also have scammers on Facebook marketplace, you will never see your hard earn money again. I will be putting in a consumer complaint to USA.GOV

The customer service for this company is horrible. Their descriptions for items are misleading. Their shipping charges are ridiculous and their return shipping charges are uncalled for. If I could give this Company a minus star rating I would. Run do not walk to the next site. This one is corrupt.

The product, "The Icelandic Wool Knit Fleece" is. . . 100% polyester.

The description: Warm, lightweight, breathable, and water-repellent, wool from Icelandic sheep has long been prized for its durability in the face of harsh winters. The full-zippered jacket features a double-layer of the iconic fleece with a lining of fluffy Sherpa fleece and trim at the cuffs, hem, and neckline.

The tag: 100% polyester

The explanation from the company (by email): "It does say that it is made with Sherpa Wool which is polyester so it seems like the tag is the most accurate."

some months ago I bought a foldaway footrest.When I first set it up as the picture showed with the two "legs" in the groves, at the slightest touch it would collapse .This could pose a danger to children and pets. However when I put the long bar in the grove it held very well ,so I am using it .
