“I bought 2 abbey sofas with relaxed cushions 2 years ago. They are appalling despite switching cushions, plumping, shaking they look terrible. Never mind the guarantee it’s not worth a carrot, they just don’t care. They said it’s normal wear and tear after me having to contact them 3 weeks after submitting photos. It’s absolutely ruined my faith in a company I used to respect (and work for). They aren’t what they used to be. Avoid relaxed cushions at all costs. It’s now cost me £240 to replace the cushions. Needless to say I won’t be buying M&S furniture again.”

“Have two orders next day delivery, after many emails and no response from customer service. Still no orders arrived except stupid free gift I did not want . I have cancer in the late stages and find shopping difficult but this service is awful. Every time I order next day deliver it still takes several days to arrive. I am fed up and looking to cancel my account. I do not know why you offer next day delivery you can not do it. Other companies can and do.”

“Needed a suit for black tie wedding whilst visiting from Canada and not taking it home. Marvellous expertise from Dawn 15581036 3120. Tremendous patience, exactness, attention to detail to fill all my needs.”

“Ordered clothes last week for Birthday, ordee acknowledged for delivery today no sign of it and no help from M+S website or useless phone lines. No wonder they are loosing business to anyone with any real comercial acumen.”

“Bought some trousers from Birmingham High Street store a couple of weeks ago, which was made easy as was able to pay for them in the changing room as I had paid by card. Really pleased with these trousers. Today I received an email from M&S recommending what would go well with these trousers and it was a straw bag. Clicked on to view this bag and it was saying no-longer available, what is the point?”

“Ordered and paid for 2 Lois garden chairs on 1/5/21. Agreed delivery for July 26. Received confirmation of delivery email on July19th. The 2 chairs are yet to arrive. Like other reviewers, kept on hold by customer service staff for very long periods. When I eventually managed to speak to someone, was informed the order was marked as 'delayed'. No reply to emails, no apology and no information about rescheduled delivery. The company slogan - your m and s - a joke!”

“Hello Dale, I too had a rough exchange with Nikki, Food Section Manager, Torquay, last week, about two food items purchased 19 August - a pack of unfrozen chicken breasts and a tray of mince. I went back on 21 August with both items - she agreed to a refund for the mince (which had turned a nasty brown) but not for the chicken as it use by date was 21 August and it was purchased on the 19th. The mince use by date was 24 August! She wouldn'f accept any of my reasonings and even said if I became ill after eating the chicken it would not be the responsibility of M&S. Yea, you read that right! I usually check use by dates but it never entered my mind after all, M&S are renowned for the quality of their food aren't they? Anyway, seems not, having scanned many of the one * complaints mentioned on this site. M&S such a shame, who would have thought it eh.”

“It is without a doubt the most rubbish website I have tried to order from. When you go to pay after picking your item it jumps from page to page. I waisted 45 minutes of my life trying to order my grandson some school trousers then I tried ringing. Honestly don't waste your time it's automated and takes you round in circles. Another waste of time. It's amazing they have any customers left with this service. I will not be wasting my time with M&S again take my advise don't bother unless you like being messed about.”

“M&S Steak Puff Pastry Pie with select cuts of British Beef in a rich gravy. Pastry was delicious but had to search for the meat filling. When our pie was cut in half it didn’t resemble the photo on the box. Bit of a con.”

“Complete waste of time. I spent forever unsuccessfully trying to find knickers that were actually available then I couldn't process the rest of my online order as a free gift appeared in my basket. However, the gift was unavailable and the order wouldn't go through until it was removed. There was no option to remove it so I ended up abandoning my order. Managed it a few days later but the trousers I ordered were nothing like the description. On attempting to return them using the paperless returns process it seems I have to return the whole order, not just the trousers. The live chat bot was useless. Very disappointed!”

“Judging by the reviews I have just read I am now more than certain that Marks and Spencer’s are getting worse I already had a terrible experience last Xmas and vowed I would not go to marks abc Spencer’s in Exeter ever again I still go in occasionally to buy food but probably won’t go in again to buy food having bought the gastro fish pie few weeks ago that was abysmal should be relabelled pie with a few bits of fish so I wouldn’t be buying that again also yesterday on the way home from my sisters in bude called at the holsworthy shop at the petrol station and bought a few things one being a quiche which was bland tasteless and very disappointing over the years shopping used to be a treat at m and s not any more I go to Lidl very often and comparison in different foods I buy Lidl’s is the superior one sorry m and s don’t know what’s happening but some of the food quality needs to be tested but going back to the reviews I dont hold out any hope of getting a reply so there is one customer you have lost not that you would be bothered !!!”

“Wife always complains she never gets any flowers. Her favourite are dark red roses. Sister in law who works for M&S recently had bouquet sent to my wife who had been hospitalised. Gave me idea to arrange a delivery for our wedding anniversary. Order no: 301-0033287-4110016. When arrived she was highly delighted. Unfortunately did not last long due to condition of roses. Promise of buds but all roses were in full bloom with black petals. She did not want them to be returned but agreed I should send a review. M&S known for good quality but this was well below standard.Will I buy again. No way. Now a week and leaves are dropping and one rose dried up had to be thrown. Yes we do know how to look after bouquets. Also mention to my sister in law next time see her. Anyone reading this do not buy roses from M&S as you will be throwing your money away.”

“I had to return an item of clothing which I had ordered online, I used the live message customer service and had to wait for around 20 minutes then there was a message saying "we are very busy and will cease contact in 5 minutes" Hermes did not collect as arranged the following day I was in the entire day and evening. I telephoned customer service to arrange another courier, this is not a freephone number, the courier did collect a week ago, I have emailed and have had no reply to my query re when the refund will be credited to my bank. I will not be purchasing any further clothing online again, as their lack of customer care does not encourage any future purchases.”

“I hope this post is seen by as many people as possible! I regret to say I will never be using Marks and Spencers again! My wife and I were on Top of the world when we bought our Sofa from M&S after saving up for 3 years. It was to go in to our living room of our brand new house. We Purchased a Nantucket Corner Sofa in Navy. Credit where credits due, it looks great and the quality of the fabric is excellent! HOWEVER!!!! This is where the praise stops!! We have now had the Sofa for around 2 and a half years now and it has become the most uncomfortable, unrelaxing and frustrating place to be in the house. The webbing within the base has stretched and has become slack, and the cushion have lost ALL of its firmness!!! Meaning when where you sit down, you sink so much YOU ALMOST FOLD IN HALF!! Now just to point out, we are a couple with no kids jumping around and no dogs so whilst we expect normal "wear and tear", it is an absolute DISGRACE the drop off in performance!! IT GETS WORSE!!! I called customer service (who take FOREVER to get through to) and explained what the issue was and again, credit where credit is due, they quickly got someone out to look at the Sofa. The technician who came out is very vocal about how he can see the problem and explained that unfortunately "M&S sofa's just aren't build to last!" Naturally after he left I expected M&S to call me to offer a solution, BUT NO......ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM THEM!!! When I chased them up to get an answer, they explained there was no need for any further contact as they had closed the case, and they were not will to take accountability for the issue and there was nothing more they would do for me! Due to my persistence, 3 further technicians came out and again, were very vocal about how soft the cushions had become!! But still, M&S would not help! I EVEN OFFERED TO PAY for the cushions to be replaced at half price, but still, they would not help me! After spending £2,300 my wife and I saved over 3 years for our brand new house, I would have expected that a Sofa from Marks and Spencers, who class themselves as a premium brand, would not have provided me with a product and service of this poor quality and not worth the money we pay for! If you have had a similar problem with M&S, which I am sure there are many, please share this and help me force M&S to take responsibility for their poor service! Thank you”

“You pay good money for their furniture. God forbid your get any issues with it. They take weeks to respond ask for photographs and some so called expert looks at photograph tells you looks good to them. Marks and Spencer say go to furniture ombudsman we've washed our hands of you now goodbye !!”
