Great experience
August 18, 2026

I recently ordered a pair of Gucci sunglasses from Shade Station and had a really positive experience. The website was easy to navigate, and placing my order was quick and straightforward. I was also able to track my delivery easily, which was really helpful.

I'm extremely happy with the sunglasses — they look amazing and are exactly what I was hoping for! Overall, I'm really pleased with both the product and the service. I would definitely order from Shade Station again in the future.

They are so silly
December 21, 2023

Ordered some Gucci shades which were slightly delayed due to a security check but still arrived in good time. However, I specifically wrote on the note do NOT give me the yellow case. What did they do? They gave me the yellow case. Either they can't read or this was their attempt at a sick joke. It was meant to be a gift but it's an ugly case! Will never shop here again.

Hi There,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

All of the Gucci sunglasses come pre packaged with a case from Gucci so we are sorry that you have received a case colour you are not happy with.

I assure you this was not a sick Joke as you have suggested and if you just contacted us we could then have looked into this for you.

Please email us at [email protected] with your order number and the issue and we will look to see if we can offer a resolution for you.

Kind Regards

Unreasonable delays
December 22, 2022

I ordered a pair of sunnies on 24 November. By 14 December they still had not been received so I contacted the company. Hey presto - suddenly they decided to ship them! Still haven't been received (23 Dec). Useless customer service. They appear to be in administration, and I should have checked here first - an average of two stars! STAY AWAY

Hi April,

I wanted to reach out personally regarding your review from December 2022.

Firstly, I’m really sorry for the experience you had. Having looked into it, your feedback was completely valid at the time and reflects a period when the business was going through administration. I appreciate how frustrating that must have been.

Since then, the company has been taken over and rebuilt under new ownership, with a completely new team and operational structure. We’ve made significant changes across the business, and we’re genuinely disappointed that experiences like yours form part of our history.

I’m not here to challenge your review - it was a fair reflection of what you experienced. However, as it relates to a previous period, I wondered if you might consider updating it to reflect that context, or revisiting us so we can show you how the business operates today.

If you’d be open to it, I’d be very happy to personally look after any future order for you.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback - it genuinely matters.

Kind regards,

Dominic

December 13, 2022

Ordered glasses it was the wrong item and contacted them, I was asked to return it back and they will replace it. Which I did on the 30th of November 2022, due to strike they received my parcel on the 6th December by which time I came to know that they had changed administration, so I kindly emailed and asked them to resend or refuse the deliver as it clearly did not belong to them and they were refusing to issiue me a refund or exchange or return back my item which I paid for I. Full! I have been contacting them but they are refusing to send me back the item I purchased and they accepted knowing full well it belong to the pervious administration clients! I offered to pay for the delivery fee or arrange for a pick up but all I get is we can not issiue you refund talk to the bank. I spoke to my bank and they obviously contacted this company and they said the item was delivered on the 28th of November but did not tell the bank that it was returned and they are dodgy pigs who refused to send me back my own item that was paid for in full! I will be taking this further! It's not the money but the principles of business and one they clearly lack! Disgustingly horrible behaviour!

Hi There,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

On the 30th of November 2022 Graham Bushby, Nick Edwards and Matt Haw of RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP were appointed Joint Administrators of Shade Ltd.

Unfortunately, as your sale of contract was made prior to administration, the joint administrators would not be held liable for any sales placed with Shade Ltd prior to the administrators appointment.

We advise that you contact your payment provider to see if you are eligible to file a chargeback against Shade Ltd.

We appreciate this is very upsetting for any customers that have placed orders on or before 30/11/2022 and this is why we are trying to advise customers of other avenues they have to resolve their issues.

Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team directly and we will try to assist you as best we can.

Kind Regards,
Shade Station

Company has gone bust
December 8, 2022

Utterly atrocious company. Placed an order on the 30th November 2022 and was informed today as I've still not received my glasses that the company has entered insolvency on the date I placed my order! Still no glasses, no ability to return them for a refund and no clarification if they'll ever arrive. What a waste of money! Avoid this company.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience.

Your order was placed in November 2022, at the point when the previous company operating Shade Station entered insolvency. We were not involved in, or able to influence, how orders were handled during that period.

From what you’ve described, your experience was clearly unacceptable, and we fully recognise how frustrating and concerning that must have been. The review reflects a very difficult time for the business, and we don’t seek to dispute that.

Since then, Shade Station has been taken over under new ownership and rebuilt from the ground up, with a completely new team, systems and operational standards, and we now operate at a consistently high service level across thousands of customer orders. We’re genuinely disappointed and embarrassed that experiences like this form part of our history.

If you would be open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to show you how the business operates today.
