“I have always liked M&S products for men, and my wife was a frequent buyer of trousers, t-shirts and blouses. We also bought a large amount of M&S food, and frequently enjoyed coffee and cakes in the in-store cafes. Recently I have purchased a number of items and had them delivered to friends or collected them from local M&S. Every product has been a successful purchase and everyone, but especially me, has been very happy with them.”

“Experienced the usual excellent customer service from M&S Croydon today. Had an issue/query with an item of clothing purchased from the Men’s Department. Manager, Steve, quickly and competently sorted it out. We always expect the best from M&S and are never disappointed.”

“M&S is a company that rarely lets me down however on this occasion I was extremely disappointed with their customer service, especially their Cheadle manager who offered no apology to me and instead addressed me as if I was a schoolchild in need of a good telling-off!”

“I placed a flower order and wrote a message on the delivery card . The flowers were delivered but not card so they didn't know who they were from! She guessed it was from one family, but They were paid for by from two families and it looks to one family like they were left out. Caused issues an m and s refused to resend the card, even though it should have been sent originally. Rubbish customer service.”

“best shopping experience ever - the staff are pleasant knowledgeable and go the extra mile to ensure you find everything you require - if item not in stock they will have it there for you the following day to pick up at your leisure or will send it to you - nothing is too much trouble and I would highly recommend this store everytime”

“Ordered a rainbow birthday cake for my daughter's 14th birthday. It did not disappoint. The cake was amazing worth the money. Collection was hassle free. Would highly recommend.”

“I bought a large expensive bunch of peonies in the hope that I would have a wonderful display in a short time. Sadly, not the case. The buds simply withered and rotted and the base. So disappointing, and a complete waste of money!”

“Today we visited M&S in Croydon to buy our suits for my fiancé & best man for our wedding we thought we could do it on our own and then got whisked away by the lovely Tina who gave us first class service and really made my fiancé feel special. She was unbelievably helpful and friendly also a special thank you to Steve too who was just as helpful. Highly recommend and excellent quality suits & Prices!”

“My daughter ordered fresh flowers for a poorly relative on my behalf. It was due to be delivered on Easter Saturday. It still hadn't arrived by 7 in the evening! My daughter received a text saying delivery 7-9 ! Then at 9 stating card through door and left in a safe place . Of course no card through door or flowers...how disappointed she was and us also. My family will never use M.&S flower service again or recommend, a very poor service.”

“Ordered an orchid as a gift for an elderly, single lady who lives alone. M&S state deliveries occur between 7 am and 7pm, but the gift was left by Yodel after 8pm at night, in the dark, on the doorstep. The doorbell wasn't even rung, though she wouldn't have opened the door even if it had. M&S refuse to publish reviews which relate to delivery experiences, which i feel is wrong. Will not use them again.”

“Absolutely appalling quality of padded lightweight jacket, £49.50. After first wash (following instructions) the padding has ‘clumped,’ some ‘pockets’ now have padding, many don’t. When you hold it up to the light this is clearly evident. Made in China! Hugely dissatisfied.”

“The service in the cafes are atrocious, especially in the Bolton branch. The staff are rude and not interested. I still visit as the food is what you expect but the staff red some customer service training. Served with a smile - definitely not.”

“Off shore telephone customer service is APPALLING!!! they don't speak English or understand it! Why has a well respected British retailer made the choice to route thier calls off shore when the ones in Britian are far better and can actually deal with customer query's.”

“M&S flowers not delivered by YODEL Dartford, Crossways Business Park. It seems Yodel reviews either (if this site is honest) get it right or don't .. On this occasion, they didn't as M&S flowers ordered but not delivered - apparently they were attempted to be delivered to a regular London address, and advised a card left. It wasnt - no card left, and no way to track because - guess what, no card with ref or ctc was left! Website advises collecting from delivery centre, 30 miles away (Crossways Business Park), and offer to collect at persons convenience. Problem is with M&S using a company that doesn't do what it should, and has inadequate follow up. Very disappointed that a simple 'cant be bothered to do the job correctly' has ruined a surprise for someone just out of hospital... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just seen a response from socialmediaescalations at yodel.gnatta.com .. however just fyi Yodel have failed to deliver the parcel yet again .. having had promises from M&S outsourced call centre that this was confirmed from your Yodel delivery centre. Apparently out for delivery since 1100, and then 2130 a message saying unable to deliver (second time), and unsurprisingly no info or card given to the recipient despite a ctc number. M&S should be ashamed to use Yodel worse than CityLink, and they went bust .. a lesson learned I guess .. M&S flowers not delivered for 2 consecutive days by Yodel, despite definite assurances to the contrary. M&S are at fault for not insuring their contractors are up to the job. This was intended as a surprise for a friend out of hospital, but now failed badly, so that is 2 sets expectations badly let down. M&S & Yodel - get your act together! Once getting it wrong is bad, but twice? .. Message to M&S - a damaging weakness in your reputation today.”

“On my sister’s 15th birthday I took her to have her first bra fitting (M&S Croydon). Patty welcomed us and calmed Megan’s nerves with her up-beat voice, comforting comments and reassuring nature. Patty was also very kind when interacting with a reluctant, know it all, teenager. We found two bras that were perfect. Thank you so much for not only making this experience bearable but quite positive and pleasurable.”

“Reposted to keep it alive. This company are really not very good . I simply cannot understand how people rave about their food quality, when in fact it isn't very good at all. This company try to live on a bygone reputation, when there was little else really to get clothes from. The quality of their items is not good at all for the price. Whoever their buyers are should be sacked and get in people who understand what the public want, not what the the company THINK they want. Paying over the odds for clothing does not mean great quality. In fact this company sell clothing items either too long in the sleeves, trousers that are not what the size states they are, to name but two. I live in Kent, and the store in Dover has closed down recently. It has moved down nearer the sea front selling food only. This shopping precinct idea came from Dover District Council, and anyone living locally knows what this means. It most likely means that like everything else DDC get up to, it will fail. Seems like M&S didn't do their homework!! Who on earth is going to make a special trip to Dover to shop in Marks, for example, when they can drive a short distance to Canterbury and shop in that store which sells food also. It is very big. Come on Marks, get your act together and get with the times. Oh, and don't do what all the others are doing....self service checkouts. It is a fact people, that every single item you buy, the price of it being scanned at a REAL checkout by a REAL person, has been factored in to the total cost. If they want self service then insist on a discount for doing so or DON'T use them.”

“Worst returns experience ever! I purchased two identical shirts, but decided to return one, in its original sealed packaging with labels on it etc. I also provided the original online order acknowledgement and invoice. After queuing for 10 minutes , I was told that i could not retrun the shirt, because I did not have the paper collection note, and was told, "try a larger store, you may have better luck"”
