So disappointed with John Lewis. Had been happy to pay a little extra in the belief that if anything went wrong John Lewis would repair a dodgy product. Harsh reality, they took over 2 months to look at a loose hinge and returned my previously working laptop in a far worse condition than I dropped it off. If you are buying from John Lewis because you feel you get extra support in case of problems vs better value online stores, you are in for a shock in case of problems. Avoid John Lewis Electronics. And if you believe John Lewis are never knowingly undersold you have obviously never bought anything from their food hall 😊

We purchased a Sony TV on 14 March from Vanguard, and sought help from Connor, TV sales dept whose customer cars and advice to us was excellent. Thankyou Connor.

Placed the order for a washing machine online which include installation and recycling, scheduled for two weeks after placing the order. On the delivery date, the driver called me twice: the first call was to ask if I wasn't infected by the corona virus (probably he realised I am from Asian country according to my name). I confirmed I stayed in UK over the late month and I am healthy, he promised the machine would arrive within 30 mins as per schedule. However, after 20 mins I received the second call from this guy, told me he cancelled the delivery and other services. Really annoying, John Lew employees seem include bias as part of their normal services. I could understand his concern, but I don't understand why he didn't raise it earlier. Waste me two weeks for that machine. Obviously, I had to call for refund.

If there's negative mark/star, I would put negative. Purchased a phone a year and 3 months. Raised a problem for the screen bleeding on the phone screen edge. Phone has not been dropped, not chipping and others when I handed over my phone. Result given to me a week after that my phone screen will be repaired without cost as it is within 2 years warranty. Week after they found a damage in my camera and will charge me 600£ because they could not repair the screen due to the iPhone XS being a sealed unit (which obviously is wrong because Apple advised me that screen part can be repaired alone without touching other parts). But John Lewis findings is they have to repair the whole unit and not just the screen. Why???? Their troubleshooting needs to be troubleshooted. Very unhappy with their resolution because my reported problem is only the screen and yet they tackle another problem which I don't have problem with. The unit was returned without screen repair. Solution was very poor, no customer problem focus. I would not shop anymore gadgets in John Lewis. Unit taken away from you for nearly a month, its not worthy to spend money in that shop. Their warranty is not an edge, its the worst.

Online purchase of a lap top computer and router, easy to select from their stock, full information available online and best price on the day. Delivery options included collect with various locations, next day delivery with regular updates to text and to computer. Picked up earlier than planned. Now installed and working fine.

They stole money from an elderly and vulnerable couple, my parents! They sold them a washing machine that has broken down 4 times with the same fault, their customer services is a joke and they just don’t care once they have you’re money. The brand has died along with their empathy. I buy from ao.com now, they are cheaper and have better customer services

Ordered washing machine and paid £90 for the privilege of having it installed. Two automated calls saying delivery between 2.04 and 4.04pm and driver will call 30 minutes before arrival. Called by John Lewis at 4.36pm to say delivery won't take place as the driver is delayed. In this day and age with every means of communication available why can't they call earlier? I was told the driver was on another call and was busy - I assume John Lewis think the rest of us sit around waiting for them with nothing else to do! Now no new washing machine and Daughter with two children not having the old machine so still washing clothes by hand. John Lewis - must do better!!!! Now have the hassle of rearranging the delivery and installation.

We bought a freezer for next day delivery. When delivered the freezer was dented and scraped on one side. Pick up and replacement was not available for another 4 working days. It seems there is one level of service (ie next day delivery) for new purchases and a wholly unsatisfactory level of service when the purchase has been made and replacement is needed. I do not plan to make any more major purchases at John Lewis given the poor customer service. Andrew Bradley, Cambridge.

Whatever happened to their excellent products and service. Our DVD recorder has gone wrong 3 times in first few months. Their answer is return it to one of their stores. We are in South Shropshire. Nearest shop - chester or Birmingham, both 4 hour round trips. It was bought online, not from a shop! Also their unhelpful staff said if we got a local engineer to repair it, then our 2 year guarantee would be null and void. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

sold fake sapphire My Husband purchased my engagement ring from the John Lewis Milton Keynes store. It was a Sapphire ring with diamond halo surround that I had found in their second hand/ vintage display section. We fell in love with it and my husband purchased it to propose to me. In August 2019, a diamond fell out of the ring. We took it to get replaced, and at the same time decided to have the ring valued insurance purposes. We received a call from the Jeweller in Hatton Garden, London asking us if we were sure we wanted to value the ring, to which we said yes and asked proceeded to ask why. The jeweller let us know that the stone was synthetic and they had asked for opinions of a second and third local jeweller. We were taken aback and explained where we had bought the ring. The jeweller stated that she would take it to a gemmologist to undergo extensive testing. She asked for permission to remove the stone to properly test it, to which we agreed. We received our full report back, which outlined it was indeed a synthetic sapphire. We reached out to John Lewis immediately, and upon receiving the ring back from the jeweller we took the ring to John Lewis that very evening. The store sent the ring back to the seller - Cherie Leigh (a company/individual), who we are informed by John Lewis has been supplying John Lewis with jewellery for over a decade. Initially, they challenged if it was the original ring, we provided proof of purchase. A few weeks later we received a call from the store stating that the wanted to now have a third party valuation. We agreed. The report back, stating that it was a genuine sapphire. The woman who called me from the Milton Keynes store even stated on the phone 'and great news, it has come back bigger'. To our knowledge gems are unable to grow in size and change from synthetic to genuine. Not only did the gem change from synthetic to real, it suddenly changed in every dimension too. It also has a defect hidden under the clasp and the stone is actually damaged and has a chunk missing. We informed John Lewis know we did not believe this to be the same stone and took it back to the same gemmologists to retest this new stone. The ring came back from the gemmologist (whom is registered with the National Association of Jewellers) as genuine, which a much higher price tag. The gemmologists informed us that this is not the same stone that they original tested and provided another report and one showing the defect in the stone. Additionally, the stone that was replaced within my ring has a defect hidden underneath the clasp and requires re-cutting. John Lewis MK Store and the top Directors at John Lewis, including the MD and the Group Operations Director at John Lewis Partnership, Anthony Murphy have all been informed of this matter and are refusing to accept responsible or protect us as the consumer. John Lewis is meant to be a responsible seller. They have refused to outline full details as to who the seller is. From our research, the seller is NOT registered with the Companies House. Cherie Leigh has a P.O. box and a VAT number. Additionally, John Lewis is NOT registered with the National Association of Jewellers. DO NOT TRUST THEM

General feedback about High Wycombe store. I go to John Lewis because the selection and range of goods is exceptional. I also used to feel that the customer service and experience was similar but sadly now not the case. I constantly saw huddles of young staff chatting to each other and showing no interest in the customer. My best experiences today were with the older staff (and I write this as a 55 year old) who understand service and are confident to engage with a customer and stand back when not required. I found it so frustrating being an operational manager to see staff who don’t appear to care about the customer or their own careers. You were great because of your differential outstanding customer experience you offered. Lose that and why wouldn’t I shop at amazon

John Lewis - look at these reviews - have you not realized how bad this service is? Do you not care? Provide a line direct to the store so that your customer can call directly and talk to knowledgeable people I want to order a laptop and book my son in for a £45 technical session, but it's impossible. The chap I had to talk to didn't know anything and couldn't book me in. For the love of god, please make your service easier to use.
