I have been a Lelo customer for years and love their products but my recent experiences have left me frustrated and unlikely to order again. My recent order has been "out for delivery" for almost 2 weeks according to ups. I reached out to Lelo over the phone and left a message, sent an email and submitted a customer service request on their website. I have had no response. I would expect the customer service to be excellent for a brand such as this. I have paid for my product and have no idea where it is and no way to get in contact with the company. Very disappointing.
I love their products but I was not always happy with their service. Things are changing and I am glad. This time I want to thank them for solving my problem fast after some online bashing when I did not get what I thought I should have. Anyway, the product was right but the color was not. Of course, I did not open it and that made everything easier. Considering the situation we're in, delays everywhere, there response was good. I guess some companies learn when they hear the truth. Hence, this review to appreciate their efforts. It will be easier for all of us who like such products.
I bought a product on their web site and then I waited for two weeks. I expected it to come within 7-10 days. Impatient as I was, I contacted them. I asked where my product was. They said they were having some problems because of the pandemic. Well, they should have sorted it out before so I said I wanted my product as soon as possible. OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but my money, my product. Just send it. Well, 5 days later, the product arrived. I heard that there were really some shipping delays in my area, but still... On the other hand, they were really professional and fixed it. I am happy with their reaction but not with the time it took to get the product. Even if it is not their fault, and it seems it was not, they need to fix it or inform people about delays.
I ordered a product and I was really looking forward to it. It did not arrive on time. I waited awhile. Nothing. OK, time to contact the customer service. Not so difficult, but it did take a few hours. I think that is OK. I told them that I had not received my product. They said they would look into it and get back to me. Well, it turned out that there were delivery problems in our area due to staff shortage. The product was actually very close to my home, sitting on the shelf for days. Anyway, it was fixed rather fast. Good job.
When Lelo first launched, I thought we were going to be huge friends! High tech sex toys is right in my wheelhouse! But with having spent over $800 in 5 plus years, I'm continually let down. Why do I keep trying? I WANT to like this company. But the products fail. The company DOES NOT have an easy return policy. If it's past 12 months, and these products should last years, they bless you with a 40% discount for buying a new product. Seriously? Let's look at this:
1. Retailers buy from Lelo at a better discount than 40%!
2. This means Lelo is REWARDED for having a failed product by selling at better margins direct to consumer.
3. What would be the incentive for Lelo to improve quality control when they get a second sale on top of each original sale?
It's a brilliant strategy, and I'm sure the CEO is laughing all the way to the unemployment line. In the end, customers want quality. We are PAYING for quality! Not for a hassle and a replacement. I've noticed Lelo is loosing traction with retailers. When I've asked, I'm told it's due to the poor quality control. It's curious as to why they keep bringing new product to market, when they can't get the quality control - under control.
So no this is not a white glove high end experience. This is low quality products sold at a high price, where you are then interrogated as to if you dropped the toy, submerged it, looked at it wrong. If you survive the questioning, and don't give up on the correspondence back and forth, and you will pay to ship the product to them, they may grant you the right to spend directly with them, bypassing their retailer, and keeping the high margin sale for themself! Why the return? They know you have the product from the serial number. They know they fail. Most people won't go the extra step and ship a dirty toy to the manufacturer. It's gross, and humiliating. They know this, and use it to their advantage. Nice huh!
In contrast, I've got Hitachi Wanda that are 10 plus years old! I've had Doxy products fail, and had a replacement shipped to me same day I reported it! But not Lelo.
Classy outfit!
PS - I have voiced these concerns to Lelo on several occasions, and to date, no they have not made the situation right.
Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your experience!
Should you ever experience an issue with a device, we are always more than happy to process it within our warrranty, if it falls under the terms and confiditons, on which you can read more on our website, as we try to be as transparent with our customers as possible. Regarding the follow up questions you may be asked about the malfunction, exactly this step helps us greatly with the quality control, to collect the details on how the unit was used, so we can improve it going forward. Upon the return of the faulty unit, it is also tested in the most controlled conditions to take the quality control of our products onto a further step.
With that said, we hope that we will still be able to improve your overall impression and please note that we are always available for any questions or concerns you may have.
Kind regards,
Siv@ LELO
After a few days of receiving my toy it stopped working. I got mad, asked for a new one. It was fairly easy to reach the company but the negotiation lasted a bit longer than I expected. I understand that this product is specific, Covid and everything but I wanted a new one or my money. They contacted me two days later and fixed the problem.
I ordered last Tuesday, and got an email confirmation. The email said I'd get a follow up email saying that it had shipped. I hadn't gotten one so I finally reached out to their support email. Went back and forth, and they gave me a tracking number. I clicked on the tracking number and it said that it had been delivered today but in MARYLAND! The shipping address on the order was NOT intended for Maryland; NOT EVEN CLOSE! I tried calling, I tried emailing, no one has responded yet. I feel like I just wasted $70! No one has offered me any kind of compensation or at least answers! How do I get in contact with these people?!? This is frustrating and ridiculous! I feel like I'm never going to get my order!
Dear Kaylee,
Thank you for leaving your feedback and we are terribly sorry to hear about this situation!
It's definitely not our intention to cause such a hassle with the shipping process! Please know that if you're already in the contact with us in regards to this matter we will make sure to rectify this situation. It may be that our phone lines are busy so please feel free to leave us a voicemail and we will follow up. Additionally, our other contact information can be found under ''Contact Us'' and once you do we will reply as soon as possible. Kind regards, Astird@LELO
Lelo products are expensive and when they work they are fine, when they breakdown or you order through the Lelo website watch out.
We have had three of their products breakdown, when dealing with the returns, replacement and shipping problems it is not worth the hassle or the price.
They send these personal items bulk shipping style using UPS Mail Innovations and can take up to two weeks if your package is not lost.
Funny thing is Lelo provided a first class shipping label for the return which only took two days to reach the destination when shipped out on a Saturday.
You can not even properly track the shipment which in this case is very important. Makes no sense and is so disrespectful to all of their customers.
We have purchased items from other companies like Fun Factory and never had any problems or any need for returns. Lelo No Go No More!
Dear Gray,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
Whenever there's a delay with the shipping during these times, it's because of the additional health and safety measures that have to be implemented due to the current situation. You can always monitor the shipment with the tracking number provided in your order or return shipping label. If your device is defective, we will replace it free of charge and the warranty process is easy, manageable and effective. Kind regards, Diana@ LELO
I was looking forward to the product I had ordered. Two weeks passed, nada, zero. OK, I knew the circumstances were extraordinary so I waited. After almost 4 weeks I called their customer service and complained. I did not want my money back, I wanted the product. It turned out that the problem was with the local delivery company. LELO customer service were very fast and I got the product after a few days.
The customer service is absolutely terrible. This company takes your money and passes off inquiries to people who cannot and will not answer questions and provide assistance. Take your business elsewhere.
Hi Catherine,
Thank you for your honest review, I am truly sorry to hear about this.
LELO is doing everything we can to provide the most accurate and complete responses to our customer's inquiries. That said, can you please send us an email, explaining this in more detail as I would like to get to the bottom of this situation? My name is Jane, you can address your email to me.

Ordered gifts for my wife for our anniversary it has now been 3 weeks still no priduct. Stuck in limbo shipping and all anyone can say is be patient. Wait another week then we will maybe help. Never have i been told to wait after paying nearly 300$ will never purchase from them again. Theres so many other options thay are far better imo.
Dear Skylar,
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, couriers are experiencing delays due to a large number of orders during this promotional period and the additional health and safety measures (because of the current situation). Once orders leave our warehouse, we have little or no influence over the shipment and delivery process. Please stay in contact with our customer care team so that we can offer the best solution for you. Regards,
Diana@Team LELO
Purchased the Sona 2 3/2019. It broke outside 1 yr warranty replaced under the 10 yr warranty(50% off). Got replacement 5/2020. 2 days ago it stopped working. I filed a claim. They are saying that because this is a replacement of the original purchase that they are going to give me another 50% off code.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
I am really sorry for any inconvenience caused. We went to search your case in our system since if something has been purchased from our site, even with the warranty code, is still covered under the 1-year warranty for a free replacement. We also noticed that we are in contact with you, and hopefully, everything is resolved now, if not please don't hesitate to reply back to our email.

I ordered some toys for my birthday two weeks ago and it's caught in limbo with ups. Ups said that they can't do anything unless seller contacts them to open investigation. Costumer rep at lelo said They don't do that, so they are shipping out another package. I don't need another package I need mine that I ordered two weeks ago! Tried to three way lelo with ups rep and Lelo isn't answering my calls now. Seems like a scam business to me!
Hi K. H.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
I'm so sorry your delivery is taking a long time to reach you.
Sadly, during this time there are delivery delays and general disruption to regular services globally and for this reason, we have made sure to include a notice at the checkout page that you may experience a delay with your order, for which we profusely apologize for.
I completely understand and share your frustration that the order is taking so long to reach you. Unfortunately once the item leaves our warehouse LELO does not have any influence over the delivery process. As such, we have offered to ship a new package with a different courier to you.
Please do reach back to us regarding the specifications of your order and the status of your package so we can make this right by you.
Judy@Team LELO
I know the situation is far from normal and I was not impatient while waiting for my product to arrive. However, it really took a long time. Even though the guys from LELO were very nice, the product should have arrived sooner. There is room for improvement.
I ordered over 10'days ago confirmed from lelo to Ups transit to USPS and it's been another week can't get any tracking updates or what's the problem. This is insane I've never waited this long for any product no delivery date insight. I am not happy with this. I will not be making another payment until i receive my package.

My toy got lost. No idea how. I contacted their customer service. I gave them all my info and they said they would call me as soon as possible. I got the call the following day. There was some problem with the delivery company. They asked me if I could be patient, they would solve it soon. 5 days later I received my toy.
I have purchased other Lelo products before and not had the problems as I have with my most recent shipment. Defective out of the box. Customer service has chosen to avoid helping fix the problem or accept a return due to the "sensitive nature of the product". When I spend this much money, I expect a high end service experience. I'm disappointed

Goinng on Day 14 and my order is still "in transit" I really hate the fact that you buy an expensive product and Lelo chooses to ship it the cheapest way possible, UPS Mail Inovations. The sell a premium product why not ship it a premium way. Tbh I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more for regular ground shipping or even FedEx shipping. They don't give you any option.

I ordered a product and waited for two weeks. Nothing. I contacted LELO customer service and they said it should have arrived. I asked them to check again. Half an hour later they informed me that there was a misunderstanding with the local delivery company due to some Covid rules. 3 days later the product arrived.
It was not a big deal, I had a few questions about the product I had just received. I wrote to the client service representative and got a reply in less than half an hour. She gave me the info I needed and her English was really good. It is becoming a rarity these days in some companies. Good job.

Answer: 2-3 days. I bought on their web site. They contacted me after the weekend.
Answer: It did not take a long time. A few hours. I guess that is much better than when you contact some famous companies.
Answer: I like their products. They stand out, have interesting features.
Answer: Not a scam. Regular customer. No idea why anyone would think otherwise.
