Just come off the phone to the John Lewis "unhelpful line", we bought a TV two and a half years ago which cost us £1214, unfortunately it went on the blink, and was taken away by a contractor working on behalf of JL, we buy all of our large ticket items at JL as we made the assumption that should anything go wrong it will be sorted in a professional and timely manner... WRONG! Despite having a 5 year guarantee and only being two and a half years old, the replacement TV that was offered was a joke, I have spent the grand total of 2 hours on the phone trying to get an equivalent TV but to no avail, I have to say I am shocked with their attitude and reflect a lot of the previous reviews asking what has happened to JL! I have decided to take their offer of £799 and move on, I have told them that I am done with JL and will turn to amazon, the kid I spoke to just kept reiterating that he had been in the job for 6 years and knew everything there was to know, well here's my prediction, he wont be in it for another 6 years.

I purchased an Electrolux washer JLWM1437 from JL in January2018 and so far have had to have engineers out three times, my latest ordeal was being told I must have misused it and my drains must be to blame because twice I have reported the smell. I have also had 2 detergent draw fronts come off. I am over 70 and have bought my appliances from JL for years and have never had a callout before on any guarantees on washers I have purchased, nobody touches the washer only me. I was told to do a 90 degree wash which lasted hours with no clothes in to clear the smell and the last time the hose underneath was adjusted and I am waiting now to see if the smell comes back and was told the engineers will not come out to a smell again. I have never been so frustrated and upset with anything like this.

My parents now both in their 60s bought a washing machine from John Lewis purely because they felt that if there was a problem that it would be resolved in a speedy and professional manner.... little did they know that this wasn’t the case. Back in March 2018 the machine was bought and within weeks the faults started to become apparent and what did John Lewis do.... nothing! They didn’t register the complaint and even offered at a fee to send an engineer round if there wasn’t a fault but because JL apparently have no record the machine couldn’t be replaced or a refund offered. Riddled with problems and clothes ruined and incompetent engineers and blindly ignorant customer service staff and Mum is finally being told that she doesn’t know how to use a washing machine, which is why there’s a fault! JL have caused my parents a lot of stress, especially my Mum who wished she’d taken her business to an independent instead. I’ve never seen her so upset or dread using the machine for fear of what will happen next.

I paid for a sofa and scheduled a delivery. On the day of the delivery, the courier turned up half an hour after he said he would and knocked on my door without the sofa. He then said ‘I don’t know if the sofa will fit through your door (it’s a standard size door and I’ve got much larger sofas throught it previously). He didn’t even bring the sofa out the fan and try to fit it, nor did he bother to measure my doorway. He then fled and said customer service would call. Customer service never called so I had to raise a complaint. My complaint was completely ignored. After a THIRD complaint, I finally got a response which didn’t address any of the issues I raised. I’m still battle my with these people, but I really expected better than this. It was a rather expensive sofa and I thought the service would be good. But I was wrong. I’ll never use John Lewis again. Shoddy retailer.

I can’t even put into words how impressive JL customer service is. I purchased 90% of my household items from them and use their price match service. I have NEVER experienced bad customer service from them, they’re outstanding. More companies need to learn follow suit!

If i could rate it less I would. I have had a sofa for 12 days that I cant put together as there are no screws. I cannot get a straight answer from John Lewis, they just keep fobbing me off. I have complained to customer service and they don't respond. I have had to go onto facebook to get the attention of John Lewis and still all i get is my complaint is being escalated but to who I don't know as they wont tell me. Apparently customer services is going to contact me but somehow i don't believe it as they have not responded to previous email. I still have no answer to when i can put my sofa together. They even tried to blame the supplier which is difficult considering i purchased it in the clearance from John Lewis. Just terrible terrible customer service

I ordered an item online but it got lost in the post. Was not even contacted by John Lewis to let me know so I was waiting for more than one week. After contacting John Lewis via email, they made no effort to correct this, and said that if I still wanted the item, I would have to contact them during business hours by phone only.
