Looking for a birthday present for a very good friend who likes their food. Delighted to find Hotel Chocolat stocked in John Lewis, Exeter. Such a lovely store and the staff are so helpful.

Exeter branch. Service first class, products first class and as it was electrical goods, very competitive on price. Also threw in a 3 year guarentee.

Phoned and asked for more information about a gas hob. They emailed back basically saying they didn't know the answer but I could contact the manufacturer or their electrical department to get the answer ( made by John Lewis!) Rang back and asked again that they find out...apologetic and said would get back to me....two days on still nothing! Very unimpressed.

John Lewis Watford – (Beauty Counter) Great customer service when I needed help with a product, and when they didn’t have it they spent a lot of time looking for alternatives. AW

I bought a BOSCH cordless vacuum cleaner on 27 December 2017 from John Lewis in Croydon. When I bought the item I was told by the sales assistant that the vacuum would last an hour before it needed charging again. I considered a more expensive model but was told that I would only really need that if I have any pets and I don'y. Unfortunately this is not my experience and my vacuum doesn't last longer than about 20/25 minutes before I have to recharge it for several hours. This is extremely inconvenient and so I returned to the John Lewis store today to complain about this.. The first sales assistant I spoke to agreed that there must be something wrong with the vacuum. He checked the internet and confirmed that the charge should last one hour and then directed me to Customer Services. Customer Services needed to test the vacuum and indeed it ran out of charge after 16 minutes in the store. (I had already used the vacuum for about 8 minutes that morning.) Once it ran out of charge Customer Service staff then came out with various excuses - this vacuum is only suitable for an apartment, this vacuum will only last 25 minutes on the middle power, this vacuum was only suitable for occasional use etc. I was questioned as to why I didn't bring the vacuum back earlier and was made to feel that I was in the wrong. Customer Services staff also disagreed with my view that John Lewis was misselling the product as I was quite clearly told that the charge would last for 60 minutes. I certainly wasn't told that the vacuum was only suitable for occasional use in flats or apartments! I am extremely unhappy with the way I was treated by Customer Service staff today and I would like this situation resolved as soon as possible. I cannot believe the attitude of the staff. I have always chosen to shop at John Lewis over other stores as I believed a customer would be treated fairly and reasonably by John Lewis should they need to return an item. This was not my experience today and it will certainly mean that I no longer chose John Lewis as my preferred place to shop.

I have brought so many products from John Lewis, the price is normally good. The after care is shocking! The technical department is rude and unprofessional and seem to go out of there way to be unhelpful. Most recently I got my daughter a Tv for Christmas, after less than two months the screen is going green. They want to take the Tv away for unto 28 working days! Unbelievable its was £150, they want to leave her without the Tv for all this time, they didn't care.

Several bad experiences include waiting all day for deliveries only to be told last minute that they're stuck in traffic or running late and need to reschedule; being told your order has vanished from the warehouse and you will has been cancelled; delivery men unable to connect an appliance because a vital part is missing; calls never returned; abrupt customer services; delayed orders and so on. Don't believe their guarantees hype either. If something needs repair, they tell you to call the manufacturers.

John Lewis have the best customer service I've ever experienced - the colleagues are happy to go the extra mile and are incredibly helpful when recommending products.

Ordered a sofa and chair for around £2000. Sofa has broken within 2 weeks (frame clearly collapsed on the right arm) can only assume was dameaged before it ever arrived. Been trying to contact for a replacement for a week now - no action from JL, promised call backs 3 times - nothing and today advised they (might) have some feedback by next Friday !! All we want is replacement for a shoddy not fit for purpose expensive product. Just amazed the service is so bad.

We ordered made to measure curtains and paid for them one month ago. Two weeks later they requested the payment again! Then the following week I had two texts from John Lewis stating that the curtains would be delivered to us, including a time slot. The time came and went. I then checked with the courier they used and was told that someone had signed for them in Bristol. I live in Swindon. I went to the store and was told by a manager that they would get back to me about it. I stated that I wouldn’t leave the store until I had an explanation. I was then told that I shouldn’t have received the texts as the curtains were sent & received by the fitter. I mentioned that I had rearranged my commitments so I could stay in to receive the delivery. Despite the fitter having received our made to measure curtains a week ago we have received no calls from anyone at John Lewis and still waiting to see the curtains and to have a date to have them fitted! This is all disgraceful customer service from a company that used to provide itself on tip top service. Buyers beware!!! I have just phoned John Lewis, yet again, and waiting for someone to call me back.

I agree with comments below regarding John Lewis customer service, it is the worst I have ever experienced, I have shopped at John Lewis for years and until now would always have been my go to place. I had a carpet estimator came round on the 27th Feb (very pleasant and help person) who said that the formal quote would be with me in 2 days, I have since heard nothing. I have phoned approx 15 times holding on for over 30 mins each time just letting the awful piped music play, I have emailed Customer Services (automatic email saying someone would be in contact in 72 hours I have heard nothing), I then tried Head of Customer Services (automated email saying someone would be with me in 24 hours again nothing), I find myself again holding on the phone to try and speak to someone 10 minutes so far. I have also gone on the online chat and they were completely useless telling me to phone again. If I had an option I would be buying the carpet else where but unfortunately it has to match with carpet in the rest of the house. From a company that prides itself on it's quality and care this is unbelievable - people moan about places like Virgin, EE etc but they are 5 star compared to John Lewis
