“Bought Dates, covered in black mold when opened. Sent photos to customer service. Letter back send more detail plus photo etc? no apology, no urgency, they could poison people. The whole John Lewis group is spinning downwards, they treat their customers appallingly.”

“I ordered a turkey, Christmas crackers and fresh bread, plus many other items for delivery on 24.12.22. The turkey was noted as not able to be changed, but nothing else. The crackers did not come, apparently there was an IT issue and they ran out???? The bread did not come, apparently the delivery time of 8-9am was too early for fresh bread????? The moral of this experience, if it's important, do not order online with Waitrose.”

“i ordered champagne when it was on offer, then was unable to collect it in the time period owing to a family illness. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, an incredibly helpful young man in the Balham branch went to endless lengths to sort out my order and put it in my car after I had paid. I have read the unfortunate reviews posted before mine, and James Bailey obviously has work to do, but my experience was very positive. I am a long-term customer and can see changes in my local store: this young man made all the difference to my day. Much worse service from Sainsbury's with a similar order.”

“I thought that Waitrose was a reliable store with good customer service, but no longer hold this opinion. I ordered an item from the entertaining section for Christmas, which I incorrectly thought was guaranteed to be delivered. Customers are not permitted to alter orders from the entertainment section after a certain date, guess what? ……Waitrose can! I was sent a substitution, not notified and after complaining was patronisingly given instructions on how to request to ‘refuse substitutions ‘ on online orders! Not good enough, Waitrose.”

“If I was allowed I could leave 0 stars to waitrose, mean and xenophobic staff at Waitrose Sidcup for using my vouchers @I was told that the electronic vouchers are universal(by a Bromley manager )!I have been using them for a over a year ,but today they decided that I could not use them because they said it is their decision (even though the scanner accept it them)!I have spent hundreds of pounds last few year in this overpriced store and from today on I am boycotting this store!They made me feel cheap and they were very mean, the store manager and the cashier!I would not ever set my foot in their stores and for sure spread the news on every platform!People don't you ever buy anything from this store ,they don't deserve your money!”

“The 12month matured Waitrose Christmas pudding was absolutely delicious. It was lovely and moist, very fruity and you could taste the booze and it ain’t too overpowering”

“Christmas vegetables from the Christmas goods at waitrose cost over £30 on 22nd dec. Not a problem until I went to cook them on 25th (Christmas day) only to find they went out of date on 23rd. Not good enough. Inflated prices for unsuitable goods. Even Lidl and Aldi are better these days. I will avoid Waitrose at all costs from now on. Thanks for spoiling Christmas Dinner, you robbing morons.”

“Usually excellent but I don’t understand how entertaining items ordered 2 months ago are unavailable. A substitution offered but it’s not what was ordered.”

“Non-delivery of groceries two times in a row. The first time they just cancelled which was understandable because of the weather, but they didn't even bother to leave a message. This time it's my Christmas order, due to arrive this morning. I was waiting for it, I stayed in the kitchen, kept looking out the window, no van, yet they say no one was home. I'm gutted!”

“HEARTY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE BROTH SHOULD BE RENAMED 'HARDLY' CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE BROTH! NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF CHICKEN IN THE ENTIRE TUB, JUST THIN HAIRLIKE STRANDS OF SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT EVEN BE RECOGNISED AS CHICKEN. OVERALL THE STANDARD OF WAITROSE PRODUCTS, IN PARTICULAR THE FRESH PRODUCE IS GOING DOWNHILL RAPIDLY. DO NOT THINK THAT BECAUSE IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE IT IS BETTER QUALITY. SADLY IT WOULD SEEM THOSE DAYS ARE GONE!”

“Second to none on quality and customer service. Stock a wide range to suit all budgets. Sure, you can spend a fortune on the most expensive, luxury products (if you have the means and the inclination to do so), but you can also get excellent value for money from the economy 'Essentials' range, without skimping on quality. The staff or 'partners' both in store, online and out making deliveries are polite, professional and friendly. In the rare event that a problem should arise, it is always dealt with quickly and effectively.”

“My wife and I were VERBALLY ABUSED AND SUBJECTED TO THREATENING BEHAVIOUR by a Waitrose delivery driver. As 80 year olds we were severely concerned about this road rage as it was totally unwarranted. I complained to Waitrose HQ who said they would investigate. Today they phoned to tell me the matter had been dealt with. NO APOLOGY OR ANYTHING - made me feel as if they felt it was my fault and I deserved such treatment ! Should have gone to the Police”

“Such a lovely relaxed shopping experience and always a pleasure to walk around looking for things I didn't intend to buy but because of the way they are presented I do.”

“I am a very dedicated customer. For me only Waitrose and M&S have the necessary food quality that I expect as a French born person. However, recently, Waitrose has been disappointing. Nowhere enough innovations (same old). In addition, some food items, such as Guinea Fowl or Duck Breasts unavailable on line (or in store - Bromley Branch). Please remember that Waitrose is or should be for the better off - the low classes, (unfortunately for them), need and do shop in cheaper supermarkets. There must be quality, more expensive supermarkets for the better off. That is a fact of life. So, please do not lower your standards.”

“I have been shopping at Waitrose for more than 20 years. Today I decided to quit Waitrose for good. The Christmas shopping was a nightmare last year and I was hoping it will improve this year. Unfortunately, it got worse. It is impossible to order Christmas food either online or in person. The customer service replied saying that the ordering system will be open soon, leaving it very vague. When I further questioned it in a store I was told that I have to find another branch other than the 4 branches I had already tried. What really got me angry was the apology of this person "Christmas is a busy time sorry we run out quickly". She was in her 20s meaning that I was shopping at Waitrose since around the time of her birth. She had not realised that I have been doing this every year for as long as she lived and I know how this works normally. It was probably her manager's response she was repeating. In either case the message was "we don't care, go away and stop bothering us". If you lost your work ethic then it is time for me to say good bye. I have now ordered all my Christmas food from a local farm and M&S. They are so much better and care about their customers. Good bye Waitrose and Merry Christmas :)”

“What has happened to the quality of your fresh products . Very disappointing. Shopping here is not uplifting but rather a sad experience.Quality of your own brands ie chocolate digestives has also gone down . Same price but cheaper ingredients . Nothing like the quality or taste it used to be ! Not worth the money we spend there . Very sad .”

“If you eat tortillas you will love these Manomasa manchego & green olive. Sweet taste of red peppers and green olives combined with the tangy taste of manchego cheese. A delicious Spanish tapas experience not to be missed throughly recommend.”
