“How Debenhams ruined Christmas.
I ordered a laptop for £1500 from them, booked the day off work to receive it, then 22 hours before it was due to be delivered, they cancelled the order saying it was 'unavailable' - except it was available, they had just INCREASED the price by £410. Despite this I had everything organised and time was running out to get it before Christmas (this was the 9th), they ignored every e-mail I sent, I was unable to contact them using their live chat system either.
I know what you're thinking, "So don't shop at Debenhams then, get it somewhere else" - but they have taken payment in full, despite cancelling my order haven't refunded it back to by card - I'm actually having to go to the bank and declare it a fraudulent transaction in the hope of getting my money back and I don't have a spare £1500 just lying around, but now it'll be too late to get delivery before Christmas.
Don't risk having your day ruined, avoid Debenhams at all costs.”
“Got my order -candelabra for Christmas and it's all in scratches!!!! Never expierenced such an awful quality!! I ordered from Norway so it is too much effort to return it, but never ever ordering from here again! And would offer for other international buyers to avoid thos shop!!!”
“They are useless takes at least 1 hour on hold before you speak to someone, when you do eventually get on the phone to a person they are rude and don’t help you at all.
Made a claim didnt fight my corner and put me at fault straight after I made the claim although I had proof to prove I wasn’t.”
“Helped me find an item suitable for my dad as he has a unique personality and needs, the item purchased will be very helpful with my dads job and has a humerus quirk to it. The member of staff who assisted me was very polite and very welcoming. I will definitely shop here again.”
“I phoned up my local store as I had seen a jumper on their website I wanted to buy but couldn't get into town to purchase. As the offer was only on for one day only I asked them if they could keep it for me to pick up the following day at the same price. I was s told it wasn't a problem and they put it one side for me. I was very impressed with this customer care and when I went in to collect it I was able to purchase my item very easily and quickly. I was very pleased with the way I was treated and use defendants for a lot of my purchases throughout the year.”
“I had a fault with a pair of shoes I bought from Debenhams in Lincoln. They handled the exchange in store at the time of my visit with the minimum of fuss, I was very impressed with their attitude towards me, as a customer. Excellent customer service.”
“Great service. Estee Lauder products was served by Susan on the 8th December 2017, at 11 02am till no 0156 0008 9672 thankyou so much wasn't a big purchase but made to feel special”
“Bought 3 products coat, gloves and hat. Delivery time wasn't great and items came in 2 separate deliveries. Bought expensive gloves but been less than a week and already some stitches have come out so will be returning items sadly.”
“Since moving from the UK to Madeira four years ago I have had to do most of my clothes/perfume/gift shopping online. I did work for the company for nearly 20 years before retiring, & will always be a devoted fan of the good quality of goods available, plus I can still take advantage of the discounts available with my staff card - very handy for a pensioner!! There have been just a few hiccups over the past four years, but usually quickly sorted out with a quick call to Customer Services, so I am usually an extremely happy customer, thank you Debenhams!!”
“Everything went wrong. Deliveries, timing, customer service, communication... it's unbelievable that this pretend upper class store provides a level of service that would not even be able to compete with Primark.”
