“The worst company I've ever dealt with! I created an account on their website about a month ago. I've passed all my credit checks etc. A couple of weeks later I ordered a pair of sunglasses. They were due to be delivered on Saturday. On Saturday morning I received a phone call and was asked for my passport number. I was then told that my passport number was not valid! I go on holiday at least twice a year and I've never had any problems with my passport. I assume my passport was rejected because it's Lithuanian! I have never had such a bad and racist experience. A couple of weeks later I tried to place an order and pay in full, however my order was rejected!!! I entered my card details etc.,but was unable to complete payment. Thank you for your 'excellent' customer service. You have today lost a customer who was willing to spend £180! I assume it's not a lot of money for such a big company but if you keep treating your customers like this you will lose more!”

“Absolutely unreliable. I ordered a barbeque, which their courier dropped off outside my empty house and still reported it as being signed as received. The pieces were faulty and damaged. I called them and got told that they could not replace them but I had to return the whole item. Contacting them is a nightmare. They do not appear to leave notes and you have to retell the whole story every time you call. The courier they use left me waiting twice (one of them all day) at home and did not turn up or provide info. I then had to call Very again and they had no information on the status. I filled an online complaint through their site and submitted it twice only to get an error message an everything deleted. A real true nightmare. Never again will dream of buying anything from them.”

“Very have terrible customer service, I once ordered a microwave which was delivered to the wrong address 3 times and was on the phone for a total of over 10 hours in one week on hold and trying to speak to a manager who was based in South Africa. Their staff email addresses are personal email addressed which they promise to get back to you on but don't and they have hung up on me numerous times when they clearly could not be bothered to deal with the issue. Second recent issue was I made a payment 7 days before it was due and they emailed to confirm payment. They then emailed 5 days after the payment was due to say I have not paid and when calling up, they explained that they did not take the payment and do not know why, but I have now been put down as a late payer with nothing more than an apology still with the possibility of having to dispute any charges that may now be added.

“Please listen to these reviews, do not shop at Very every aspect of them is awful. They are still trading due to the company size and the fact they do credit, it won’t be long though people will learn and stop shopping with you. VERY NEED TAKING OFFLINE.”

“I ordered an ornament for a birthday present, it took the order but didn't ask me to pay - put it on credit instead (I didn't ask for this, nor did it give me an option). so I tried to cancel the order, which didn't work, so instead I paid the credit. Then I got two emails - one to say they'd taken my money, the other to say that my order was now cancelled! So they took my money, but wasn't going to send me a product. Could have been £27 id lost, but fortunately (on the plus side) customer services were helpful.”

“I had a Voucher for £40 from Weight Watchers, which I used to purchase some sandals, when they arrived one pair was too big, another broken, so faulty, I then returned them. I phoned the number supplied by W.W to get the credit applied to a suitcase I brought, which on taking the order, over the phone, the lady said she would do. This has never been done. I have lost the voucher and Very will not honour it! THIS EMAIL FROM VERY....Thank you for your email. According to the terms and conditions of the code it states that it is a single use voucher and you can only claim it once. Therefore we are unable to apply this voucher to your order again. THIS ON THE LETTER FROM W.W....The credit will be reversed if the order is returned and the value falls below the £40 minimum. In this instance, please ring 0344 822 2321 and the £40 credit will be reapplied if you place an additional order of £40 or more. So Very have kept my £40 voucher and I have nothing. It is almost impossible to get in touch with Very and none of the link's are for any type of complaint other than returns or deliveries???? I hope the above number will be useful to someone! take my advice and steer well clear if you value your money!!”

“Catalogue of errors from start to finish. Left on hold for an eternity then language barrier when eventually get through. On line chat not much better, cancelled wrong item and still waiting for refund update on an item I returned a week ago. Useless. Spend your money elsewhere.”

“I ordered 2 chairs from VERY on 26th April and on 3rd May I received an email from Lydia Hudson (VERY Customer Manager) who informed me in writing that my 2 chairs were 'on track' and would be delivered on or before 11th May 2017. Additionally the email stated 'don't worry, if there are any changes we'll let you know straight away'. Needless to say the 2 chairs DID NOT arrive on 11th May as promised and there was no warning of any problems or delays. After trying to chase up VERY over 11th and 12th May for an explanation (about 3 hours on the telephone), I was eventually put through to their Customer Services Department (in South Africa) and informed that the chairs were out of stock (in stock when I ordered them) and that my order was now cancelled (by VERY) and if I still wanted them, I would have to start the whole process again. You really couldn't make it up and will anyone reading this will not be surprised to hear that VERY are now VERY VERY low on my potential suppliers list. Signed- VERY Disgusted Tony from Sunny Yorkshire.”

“Ordered two items. One item was returned by Very, but I wasn't informed and another item apparently there was a fire in a warehouse so that wouldn't be delivered. No one from Very contacted me to let me know. I had contacted Very and their courier on numerous occasions to be told different stories every time. If you ask for a manager apparently they are in the meeting or they are no managers on their floor. When you ask for the complaints department you are giving an email address request information. This is becoming a nightmare.”

“Awful company. Avoid. Terrible customer service and flatpack with wrong parts. Getting new parts was a nightmare and involved waiting, chasing and messing around. The site also is a pain to use at they try and sell you needless add-ons at every juncture.”

“Do not bother! Even if they are the cheapest, pay more elsewhere! Ordered a pair of GHD straighteners and they were supposed to come with a FREE GHD heat mat, lone behold straighteners arrive minus the heat mat. I called the 'customer service' department and I would call them that loosely. Long story short 30 mins later after talking to an overseas representative who could barely understand me or what I was saying I was told that they could not send me the item that was missing and that I would have to contact GHD myself about this?!? Sorry no, I ordered the item from Very not GHD Shocking! I was then told to submit an account query with a copy of the order email, so I did this and it took them 24 hours to respond, I then responded to that and have heard nothing since. If you want what you actually pay for and would like any issues resolved by somebody competent to do so then do not use Very ever!”
