“When I reported them that after numerous attempts to log into my account and being returned to sign in each time, including changing my password, i was asked to pay £5 for 'technical advice'! I am not willing to give my card details to a company I do not know, thank you!”

“I’ve just had a mattress topper ordered that I didn’t even order!!! I’m going to check my bank account and I will be absolutely livid if they have taken money from my account. I have only shopped with these people once and that was about 8yrs ago. What the hell is going on!!”

“Ordered a product on 5/9/20, unlike another reputatable shopping channel you took my money straightaway. Now on 22/9 I am told delivery is a week away at best. So you have banked my money without supplying any products. I am cancelling.”

“Returnned a phone which had no returns note in the package which i did state this in the email i sent. I returned it to the address on the website by special delivery and it was delivered the next day. I received a confirmation email from the returns department saying it had been received. I waited more than the 10 days they state for your refund and emailed them to ask where it was. They emailed back to say that they had not received it even though i sent the copy email from their retiurns dept. I then sent the customer care team the special delivery number after they had already taken the second installment. Now they have emailed saying it was sent direct to the supplier and have to wait another 48 hrs for them to confirm the refund, then they will us, bur you don’t get any p & p back and it costs a fortune to telephone them, at least qvc telephone is free.”

“I purchased a so called magic hose it arrived 11/8/20 and I returned it the same day via collectplus. The quality was terrible. I have the postage slip and the tracking history delivering to Ideal World 14/8/20 at 1143hrs. They now say today 22/8/20 they cannot find it at the warehouse and to forward proof of posting before refund can be given,which I have done. This situation is appalling, I will never shop with them again.”

“Wife Just had Txd from Ideal world to thank her for order Of £129.99 and payment received. We have never ordered anything from Ideal World for over 10 years And they state they will deliver to an address that we do not live in Tried everything to stop payment All they say is they have cancelled the order Have informed all my Banks and credit card companies they tell me I can only gain a refund after money taken from the accounts This looks like an internal scam staff ordering on old accounts??? How can a Company just make up an order and by the way you can’t call for free 13 p per minute plus your standard rate asked them to call back Still waiting 6hrs later This is a joke trading standards now being informed Grrr !!!!”

“I agree with all the previous bad reviews. I will never again buy from Ideal world. I am still waiting to get my refund after returning an item 3 weeks ago. I’ve sent many emails to query the refund payment, and keep receiving replies from all different staff who are not within UK. The worst customer service in shopping refunds I’ve experienced. even after submitting a proof of my payment and reference for the return delivery, they say they can’t find the item. Appalling shopping experience. I wouldn’t recommend them and would say to try to avoid if you can.”

“Really annoyed with this company, customer service department is a joke. I recently placed an order for two palms plus planters and realised immediately I had not updated my address. Within minutes of placing the order I did a live chat and was reassured that the goods would be sent to the correct address, I then followed this up with several emails explaining the issue. Customer service advised I collect the goods from the old address. I explained this was in South Yorkshire and I now live in Hereford so impossible. Twenty five pounds down and fuming!! DO NOT SHOP WITH THIS COMPANY!!”

“IDEAL WORLD just provide Fake information and do not send the good you pay for. They use the Bad service delivery service of HERMES to try and confuse customers. I order a Drone with a carrying case with 2 extra batterys. The case and battery were delivered but no Drone. After 2 weeks of e-mails and robot replys with no useful information, they now claim the Drone is been returned by Hermes and will take 10 day to be back in the warehouse. Yet they are selling the same Drone on TV today £99.99. Just do not deal with this company as they will not provide the goods as stated in the tv sales. IN my case the tracking number did not exist on HERMES TRACKING and no delivery email or confirmation they ever had it. I may have to go to the county court to get my money back. What good is £20 Battery and case with no Drone to use on. It looks like a scam to get your money and then just mess you around or force you to phone a premium rate number to speak to someone who just talks rubbish and provide more faulse information. STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY”

“I bought "Blue Magic" & what a letdown. There is nothing magic about it, absolutely rubbish, I tried 3 different items with only a small amount of stain on them. First I used the weakest strength, then 2nd the medium, 3rd the strongest & not one application made even the slightest difference. Ideal World has had its 1st & last order from me”
