Didn’t receive item in time to give as a gift. Cannot purchase another as John Lewis customer services refused to refund my money despite the goods still legally being in their possession. Under the consumer credit act of 2015, they should refund the money on request. So that I can purchase the gift locally in time. If they had done that I would have gone into Norwich and bought the item from my local John Lewis store. Now, When I get my refund I will buy it from the Apple store instead. John Lewis has lost my goodwill and I will not shop with them again. The customer services were appalling and their refund policy is ILLEGAL. I fully intend to take this matter further.

Ordered a carpet, curtains and blinds in Feb, people came and measured in Feb, heard nothing for a few weeks...... then the nightmare begins. We must have spent 25 or 30 hours on the phone emailing and chasing. Noone responds, when they do they promise they will call back, they don't, you practically have to manage the entire process yourself. I could understand a major renovation, but carpets and curtains are what John Lewis are famous for as was their quality.... 20 years a customer and spent £1000's there over the years..... never ever ever ever again . Total Nightmare

Ordered a fitted bedroom and carpet first week in January. Since then dealing with John Lewis customer service(??) has been a nightmare. Where to begin? I have had to make at least 8 phonecalls - Getting through to speak to someone - 1/2 hour waiting time - every time - Being told someone would get back to me - never happened - Twice sent an email to 'Head of Customer Services - automated reply said someone would get back to me within 24 hours - never happened - Bed room was finally fitted today (quality disappointing) but still waiting on a date for carpet fitting - promised it could be coordinated to be very soon after. Looking like end March now - Several phone calls resulted in an offer to fit the carpet on 21st March (Another two weeks with out use of the bedroom and other rooms full of the decanted beds etc. - Good luck - the carpet fitter turns out to be a past patient of my husbands and offers to fit carpet on Saturday 10th (his day off). -Looks like the carpet will in the end be fitted reasonably soon after the fitting of the bedroom furniture but NOT due to any action by John Lewis and after a great deal of uncertainty and incompetence by John Lewis. Frankly this is not the level of service I expected from John Lewis. I have constantly had to chase up procedures. I had expected that using John Lewis for furniture and carpets would have been a seamless experience. All the other fitted furniture firms I consulted would have co-ordinated everything (including the minor electrical work I had to have done and redecoration of the room). They would in fact have been cheaper but I decided that I would go for John Lewis quality. I understand that John Lewis has been undergoing some administrative changes. This may be the reason why things are not going at all smoothly with my order but it is certainly not an excuse. I will never again use John Lewis. PS I left this same review on another review website on Tuesday and someone from John Lewis posted a reply. Stated that someone would contact me to discuss. Guess what, three days later and no phone call.

Bought a dyson v8 Absolute cordless vac cleaner from John Lewis and a few days later found it cheaper in one other shop. I went back to John Lewis with proof of this and got my price match of £16 refunded to me with no problems at all. The staff were excellent, and having been a customer of the London Oxford Street store for many years l (and all my family) are very happy to have a John Lewis store in Solihull - love our Waitrose too! Many thanks.

Ordered a £1600 mattress and paid for the old mattress to be taken away. When our paid for time slot delivery came we were told 'got your mattress' as our greeting to which we replied 'great and you're taking our old one too' - the aggressive drive took great pleasure in telling us 'got no room'. He then enforced to my pregnant wife this point and intimidated her and me telling us he was going, he didn't care we'd be getting a refund and telling me to 'shut up'. The subsequent complaints process and refund took 4 hours on the phone on which john lewis advised that they'd keep the driver on the road delivering despite his threats and aggression because 'we've got deliveries to make' and were not at all concerned with the stress they caused a pregnant lady. They said they'd call back after the investigation the next day....3 days later they had never called back. A horrible, aggressive company with no duty of care that gives nothing. Why buy through them?

I had a faulty fridge-freezer and after only 5 months the frozen food one was defrosted it took 6 weeks after they kept the part is coming in and then another phone call to say no sorry its not in, they said you can send it back and when we receive the faulty they would send another one out we will decide if its faulty, I said what about my fridge, when I phoned about cost of phone calls £57:00 I was implied to being untruthful, then I sent a receipt for the cost of the things I has lost they went through the receipt I had send in as the freezer broke the day after we had been shopping, good job I had taken a photo and said I had two gammon joints and Owen from John Lewis said that's not what the receipt says, I said nothing to do with you how much I buy he didn't realise we had family over 2 days later, we had to cancel obviously, do you leave your freezer with absolutely empty before re shopping with a family, IT WAS NOT THE MONEY I was cross about but the fact they thought I was trying to get an extra £5:00 out of them, after that I thought it cost me an awful lot of takeaways not every day but 5 weeks I would say we had 3 takeaways a week, will never shop with them again even if they are cheaper, I have never been so insulted in all my life.

If you are looking for a sewing and embroidery machine - don’t bother going to John Lewis as they have a very poor selection, and no demonstration facilities.

Customer standards are up to no scratch they are sinking faster than the Titanic what a shame. I have been customer for more than 25yrs my home is full of John Lewis products. Recently I purchased a computer only to find out the volume was very low I could hardly hear the sound. I called costumer service, explained the problem and advised to take it to John Lewis for someone to look at it. I spent 3 hrs 40 min in the store, only to be told it was going to be sent to the manufacture and it may take up 28 days. I called two weeks latter to find out what was happening only to be told its only nine day since you brought in the computer. No information was given, called back a week latter still no information on what was happening. I requested to know but still no information, 3 days latter I was called and informed my computer was ready to pickup. I went to pickup the computer they couldn't find it for 25 min, Finally when I got the computer I asked if it was fixed and the answer was yes. I requested to check it to make sure the fault was fixed. He wasn't happy but I insisted reluctantly he agreed. It took more than 1hr only to find out it wasn't fixed, when I asked what was fixed he couldn't give me straight answer. Now it was more than 2hrs spent then he told me there was no fault found and the computer was on the standard settings. At this time I was so dis-pointed for the time and money wasted, I requested to make complaint but was told I can only complain to the Head office and not in the store. I requested to see the store manager, but the store manager couldn't be bothered he just sent someone to see me when I asked him if he was the manager he said no he wasn't. At this time it was more than 3hrs I was tired and just wanted to get out from the store, he asked me if I want refund or exchange the computer as did not have the accessories with me I opted to bring them in and exchange. I returned to with a everything and picked out the computer to exchange I got informed they had it in stock, when I was making payment I was told they din't have it in stock and it will take 5 days for delivery. I was already tired and knew weather I complain or not it was going to get me anywhere so I agreed to the 5 days delivery. As I was driving home I received text from the sore that the computer will be delivered the following morning. I stayed home all day waiting for delivery only to receive text that delivery was refused. Called back only to be told nothing can be done all they have to do was investigate and called me back what shamble.

The item purchased and installed was faulty. That in itself was unfortunate but I was deeply disappointed at the lack of customer service to arrange replacement. Original purchase 9 Jan, still not resolved. Staff are helpful but restricted by rigid system AND irritating verging on pastronizing with constant use of pacifying phrases

The products are fine. The packaging and postage and speed is terrific. But the customer service is incredibly slow and comprehensively incompetent. Nobody will read your emails, and they will never reimburse the objects you return. Just don't even try to send anything back. They suck.
