It's a scam. I placed an order. A week later, received an email stating it was shipped. A week after that, I emailed them because no tracking number was received and I wanted to see where the package was. "Oh, it hasn't shipped yet. Give it another week." Ummmm....OK. I give it another week, and reach out again saying I still haven't gotten a tracking. 'Give it 48 to 72 hours.' OK..... 3 days later, I write again. 'Although our system shows it as shipped, it's not generating tracking numbers. Would you like us to ship the order again?' Kind of a weird resolution offered. You insist the first order shipped. So you're confident it's on it's way. But you're now offering to ship it again, so I'd get twice the merchandise for the same price? Companies just offer a refund or credit in these situations.... So I contacted my credit card company and they've reversed the charge. It's now over a month since I placed the order initially and nothing has arrived. It seems strange - like a scam. Equally, if you leave a bad comment about the company on their Facebook, you'll get inundated with other "customers," insisting it's a great company, great products, blah blah blah. Almost like they're paid to defend Aran. I've left plenty of bad reviews on other company's pages and never heard from anyone. Also a bit weird, all the reviews on their website are through TrustPilot, a known scam review website. And their Facebook page had no activity for almost 10 years, before coming back to life within the last few months. read more

Situated in the city center of Killarney, Aran Sweater Market, which is essentially a store specializing in all things wool, is a welcoming shop to visit with purpose or curiosity. We popped in after lunch and wandered up to the second floor, which houses all the men's wear. The selection of sweaters, beanies, hats, scarves, socks, jackets and more was impressive. So many colors and styles. The store is well maintained, bright, well organized, stocked and clean. We scooped up a beanie, as I find it hard to find one that fits just right, so I was pumped! Overall, solid shop if you are after anything wool while wandering around Killarney. read more

The sweaters, we ordered two shipments of two each, arrived in a timely manner. They are soft, and nice quality. The before Christmas promotion, as well as the January one were well received. The colors in the sweaters are consistent. The sizing for the men's recommendation were a bit big. Ordering our normal US sizes brought us garments with the correct fit, read more

READ OTHER REVIEWS AND AVOID THE HEADACHES OF DEALING WITH THIS SCAM COMPANY WITH UNSCRUPULOUS TACTICS!!! DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID!!! shipping that was supposed to be 3-4 days was actually 5 weeks. ordered 2 kits, one was sent with a pattern 2 sizes too small. customer support says they don't have the pattern in the size I ordered and said just knit it. won't fit with the pattern in closed, not enough yarn to make it bigger. customer service blames me for the wrong size, and is almost impossible to get them to just admit their website is at fault. Very snippy responses, and no help with a full refund. they want me to pay to return what they screwed up sending. AVOID AT ALL POSSIBLE COSTS! Shady business practices. Horrible customer service. If you have an issue with an order, they will let you know it's your fault! read more

As others have mentioned, this company is a scam. I ordered sweaters as gifts with a guaranteed delivery date before Christmas. Shortly after placing the order, I received an email stating the items had shipped, but no tracking number was provided. I waited a few days and eventually contacted customer service. When I finally got a response, I was told that tracking numbers sometimes don't appear in emails and to "try a different browser." This explanation made no sense, as tracking numbers should be readily available, but whatever. I attempted all suggested options, but nothing worked. I sent eight follow up emails requesting an update and a tracking number and received no response. With no communication or proof of shipment, I ultimately had to contact my bank and file a fraud claim. Avoid this company and save yourself the trouble. read more

Place acts like completely fraudulent site. I recently ordered a sweater. My transaction went through and appeares as "posted" on my credit card, but I did not receive order confirmation. For two days I tried to reach customer service through email-no response. Day 3- finally got a person in chat, who informed me, that they have no record of my order. Yet- my charge went through, according to my credit card. They refused to investigate, where money went- "it's a ghost transaction". Never asked me about my payment data, just dismissed the wholecase and never contacted me again! Stay away- terrible customer service and fraudulent practices. read more

I've been to this store a couple of times, so unlike most of the reviewers I have an actual experience with the brick and mortar location. The store is fairly large and has a lot of selection. The prices are very high but the items are nice quality and seem like they will hold up over time. I was hoping to get a sweater for my friend but because she's so particular about softness I didn't want to risk it on something that is so expensive. The store was clean and organized. The person working was busy talking to her friend and didn't really seem to pay attention to the customers who were there. I don't think I'll have a need to return because of how expensive this store is. read more

Ordered an item for a Christmas present in November. I logged on to check order status and it's been waiting pickup since 11/28. Tried to contact for update and am unable to get past the AI assistant which will not provide me with anything other than my shipping address. Complete SCAM site...save your money read more

No longer an honorable company. They take your money, never send the item, and ignore all attempts to reach them (9 weeks and counting.) This was once a favorite business. Will never shop there again. read more

Ordering from the US, this site looks like total scam. I ordered a sweater two months ago and it never arrived. They sent one email claiming to have shipped it but wouldn't provide a tracking number as evidence and now they won't reply to my messages. read more

While I love the sweaters and the good quality, this 1 star is for customer service and bill adjustment. Their website can produce a "ghost transaction" at checkout where it doesn't go through. I have reordered after contacting them, the voucher they gave me could not be applied even though I have not used it, it showed it was used. They didn't want to adjust the bill. Make story short I ended up being billed twice. They are not helpful and they don't refund. I would suggest using the bank dispute way. Besides that, if your transaction goes smooth and you don't need customer help, you can experience a great transaction. So be ready to swallow the loss and enjoy a great sweater! read more

Their website says order by Dec 17 and receive by Christmas. Highly unlikely. I ordered on Dec 5th and my order still hasn't been shipped on Dec 17. Had purchased a coat three years ago which I received in three days ! Granted more paperwork with tariffs but don't make misleading claims! read more

Order placed in time for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Was not delivered before (or after!) Christmas. No tracking order supplied, tracking link in receipt e-mail invalid and no response to e-mail or other contact. Will be cancelling credit card payment. Really bad customer service - don't bother! read more

Deceitful company selling wool products in name only. Ordered a wool scarf and received one in polyester. Company would not even refund or exchange product. read more

Terrible experience. Had previously purchased a sweater from the shop and liked it so I purchased two sweaters online. They arrived stinking of petrochemicals, obviously contaminated, like they had been soaking in petrol, overwhelming stench, two hand-washes did not deal with it they still stank of petrol and could not be inside the house let alone be worn. Clearly damaged, unwearable product. I emailed. I email again. I email again. I email for a fourth time. Eventually, after almost a week, they emailed back and explained that I was wrong and that I just don't like the smell of fresh wool. I know the smell of wool, including specifically from Aran sweaters. I also know what gasoline/petrol smells like. These sweaters stank of gasoline/petrol. I have had to charge back the charge on my credit card. Terrible customer service, stay away, I strongly recommend you do NOT order from these people for delivery. read more

I have been supporting and referring this store for years... In spite of my loyalty, they have treated me with utter disrespect and contempt. DO NOT BUY from them. They will send you whatever they feel like sending and expect you to keep it and pay for it. I have been patiently waiting for nearly a week for a resolution and have received nothing but empty promises and now silence. I hate the ugly scarf that they sent in lieu of the very pretty one I ordered. They're crocksters! It's so sad and disappointing. Shame on you, Linda, Emmet, and uncaring, unprofessional team. It seems every day there's a new, disheartening decline in society. read more

I ordered an Aran sweater. It has a nice fit and design, but know that it will have an overwhelming barn smell that does not was out, we tried every option out there to calm it down. So basically, if you are in the U.S. you'll probably pay for the item and $35 shipping. When you get it, and it's un-wearable in public unless you want a barnyard smell following you, you will also spend another $25 to return it. I'm $60 in on shipping on a $66 product. yay. Find a better option. read more

I ordered for Christmas and paid the EXPEDITED SHIPPING for 3-5 day delivery. Seven days later and FedEx only shows that a label was printed. Customer Service says they will not refund until the order is returned (which will be tricky if it never arrives at all). This is unacceptable read more

Really poor customer service!!!! I would rarely write a bad review but this company will take your money and eventually you will get your product but if you are trying to return it you will not be able to contact them. They also will charge you twice as much for shipping return as what it cost to ship when you buy. I will never buy anything from them ever again...ever!! read more

I ordered two sweaters and I received one. The company has not sent the missing item nor have they reimbursed me. They will not answer my emails. Very, very dishonest company.​ read more

In a long life of shopping -- mostly in the US but also in England and the continent -- this store has the VERY WORST service of them all. My friend sent me one of their hats for Christmas '23. I sought to exchange it by going to their website and following instructions as presented. After a week, I tried again. And again. NOT EVEN THE COURTESY OF A REPLY. Then I began phoning. Mostly I got no answer, then progressed to their recorded message. Once I spoke with a young woman who told me that the holidays had been very busy for them, and to call back to speak with someone else. I tried. "Someone else" was never there. Turns out that if I wanted to exchange it, I'd have to pay US$ 50 for their DHL service. The hat cost $50! I'm angry that my friend has been ripped off, and truly appalled by their rudeness and stupidity. read more

i was going to write this company to explain my problem even more. I had contacted them through email etc. however I see by reading other comments that this would be a waste of my time and money. I ordered a sweater over 200 ca dollars. never received item. after a month of emails back and forth with DHL all I received from them was a email stating it was delivered. WHICH IT WAS NOT I even sent photos of my door and shipping label. it appears it was del to an apartment building I live in a house. as they are the shippers it's up to them to make good. They don't wish to. again certainly not satisfied. read more

I purchased a coat from Aran's that arrived in a timely manner but with a sewing defect. I contacted the company to return the item and they forwarded the shipping labels. However, FedEx made me aware that I would also need a Customs form initiated by the company. I have contacted Aran's multiple times about the form to no avail. I have sent numerous emails, reached out through their online chat, and tried calling them, but no response from Aran's. It is now January 29, 2024 and I am still awaiting a response to my inquiries. I am extremely disheartened and disappointed by the lack of sufficient customer service. I will persist in my effort to return the item and receive a refund for the purchase, but I will not purchase from this company again!! I was prepared to love this company, but the poor customer service robbed me of that joy. read more

Products 5 stars Custmer Service -10 stars Their products are high quality, very warm, and quite attractive....however, delivery/shipping is incredibly slow and they are exceptionally slow at returning correspondence (with my emails finally being answered after two weeks - and yet still no tracking info or delivery estimate, and with phone calls -you can forget it, they won't go through). Bottom line: great products but who knows when or if they'll arrive! read more

I ordered a poncho as a Christmas gift for my wife in mulberry, and they sent some ugly yellowish green version instead. I requested a return or exchange for correct color, but they refuse to cover the $25 return shipping and insist it was my mistake despite the fact that the yellow green version is not even available on their website. Horrible experience and I recommend to SHOP ELSEWHERE! read more

Customer service is horrendous. Communications next to impossible. They sent the wrong size. I returned the item and am still waiting for a refund. read more

This company has zero customer service, does not accept calls, only sends automated responses to emails, and does not deliver goods they have been paid for. If there were a delay over the holiday season that would be understandable, but this seems to be a case of completely ignoring an order (except for payment, of course) and then refusing to issue a refund or even respond. read more

The absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced. Each day I call well within posted hours (9AM-9PM GMT) and reach a recording saying that their offices are closed. I have written ten emails and have not received a response. The gift I ordered in December has gone missing and I have needed ASM to file a claim with the courier before a deadline. It has been impossible to reach a customer service representative between the hours of 9AM and 9PM GMT and there has been no response to my emails. I am out the cost of the item plus the $35 shipping fee. AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS AWFUL COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! read more

The scarf I ordered on December 21 (three weeks + one day ago) MIGHT have arrived today to my friend in Canada. I emailed AND chatted several times. I COMPLAINED several times, with no answer. I asked to speak with a manager but was turned down. What I was told by the last rep on chat, was to send an email with my issue (that the scarf was NEVER shipped) and then go back on chat and she would talk to a manager. I did that immediately and when I went back on chat within minutes, chat was closed. Even today I received an email (the 3rd one) telling me the item was just shipped (DHL shows that it MIGHT have been delivered today). Just a miserable miserable experience. It was supposed to be a joyful experience to send a surprise gift to a friend. Very very unhappy. And feel the reps (the many) I chatted with were not helpful nor were they even apologetic. Not a good experience. read more

So disappointed... wore my aran sweater for the first time today. I stepped in front of a mirror in the afternoon and was surprised to see my white t-shirt through the loose knit of the sweater. I'll have to wear a grey or black t-shirt underneath. Never again... read more

Visited April 2015: "Excellent selection, great customer service, and reasonable deals" The sign out front might say "Aran Sweater Market Outlet store" We purchased a few items, and due to the amount purchased (100 Euro or more) we were able to get free shipping back to the United States. The gentleman at the counter (Jason) explained duty free from Ireland to the States, provided a receipt for our refund, and how much we each might get back. He and the foreman apologized for the construction that was going on. We were also provided with 10 Euros off for spending more then 50 Euros which you can use at any store and online. These sweaters are handmade, steeps with history, and you can visit the island where all the magic begins. read more

My daughter selected a mohair blanket from the shelf. It has no price tag (last one in that color). Another blanket (last in another color) with a price tag was marked down to €69. The clerk said he thought they were the same price. A more senior clerk came over and said no, ours was a larger size. That's fair enough. She looks it up in the computer and says ours is marked down to €99 but she needs to verify with the manager. Manager shows up and says ours isn't marked down at all: full price €124. I would have left at this point as there's no lack of competition for woolen goods in town. My husband didn't want to disappoint our daughter. At least we got the free shipping offer. read more

If you are looking to buy a cap, you must go to the shop and try it on. The website for Weavers of Ireland has a sizing chart that is inaccurate. That, or they make the caps much smaller than advertised. Buying online will mean additional costs for both return shipping, and for the correctly sized item to be sent out to you. read more

I stopped into the store in person. I took advantage of the free shipping when you spend 100 Euro and bought a sweater for myself and two gifts. I thought the prices were the most reasonable of all the sweater places we saw in Ireland. My purchases were shipped the next day and beat me back to the states. Service was good and staff were helpful in explaining how to redeem my VAT. read more

I ordered online items that were marked down 30%, but when they arrived the tags listed LOWER retail prices than the SALE price I paid! Yes -- my 30% off "discounted price" was actually more than the full retail price printed on the tags!! I'm not alone in my experience, apparently. I really wish I had checked Trip Advisor before ordering. On top of being fooled into thinking I was getting a discount, my son's hat unravelled within 3 days. I've reached out to their customer service with no response. While the styles are attractive (which of course they didn't invent) I now feel ripped off every time I look at my purchases. This might be the worst online shopping experience I've ever had. read more

If you're from the US, DO NOT BUY from this company! Absolute worst online company to deal with to date. We received a flawed sweater from them (very poorly made) in December. We sent TWO emails to them with pictures and a request for an exchange - it's been two weeks and they have yet to respond. I have chatted with their online chat service multiple time and have been promised multiple times a return label - never happened! They keep promising and they keep failing. Not only was it disappointing to received a poorly made sweater that should last years (won't make it through one wash) but the failure to stand behind their product makes it even worse! If you notice - they have only glowing reviews on their website. They will not publish negative reviews - CAUTION!! Terrible company!! read more

Great sweater and scarf selection. The staff was friendly and helpful. Easy location to find.

Loved the many styles and prices offered! Sweater came quickly, quality is amazing (i'm a knitter) and I can't wait to place another order! They sent me a 20$ discount check for my next 100$ order!!!! Thanks, Aran Sweater Market! read more

Do not buy here!!!! Aran Sweater Market, Dublin, Grafton Street Spend 50 euro or more in store and get a 10 euro voucher = On most occasions, meaning I know several occasions and people, NOT true at all!! Buy for over 100 euro and we will ship worldwide for free = NOT true!! When questioned they only do it to the U.S.A. Despite this there are signs outside the store and all over the store that they will ship worldwide for free when buying for over 100 euros. When I tell the cashier that that would not be allowed in my country all I had in return was a scornful grin. One of the items bought had a hole and had to be exchanged. Plenty of places sell Aran items and live up to their word. Benefit them instead and stay out of this store!! read more
