Worst service!!!

DO NOT BUY a phone from John Lewis, they do not repair cracked screens and when you get a repair elsewhere they then cancel your manufactures guarantee....now left with a 2 month old phone that does not auto focus from a problem before the screen replacement.

Hi, I have visited your store at Cheltenham this afternoon. I was interested in trying new make up by Charlotte Tilbury. Truly excellent customer service by Paulina. Rather then just showing me all the suitable products for my skin, she also showed me how to apply it all. Excellent stock knowledge. Suggested alternatives to suit my skin. Very pleasant and friendly. Left with few purchases and will be definitely returning to the store. Please praise!!!!!!

Ordered sofa over one month ago in store. After numerous calls and visit to the store, no joy, no returned calls. But everyone very sorry and apologetic! Your service is appalling. I will never shop there again. Cancelled order today.

Aerial connector on my tv has broken making it useless. Its well within the guarantee period but John Lewis has refused to fix or replace it because this is classed as "accidental damage". The connector should not break on a 2 year old TV! Beware - the guarantees are worthless. I will never buy from John Lewis again!

I have never took to social media to write a review. But feel on this occasion that it is justified. After numerous customer service issues with JL, ie miss-sold a mattress and not receiving my 3K refund for 2 months, and only receiving refund when chased. Apparently they forgot? Faulty cushions, wallpaper swatches not delivered etc. I have spent time travelling to Milton Keynes Store, communicated via online and telephone customer services. Very rude operators. @JL what has happened to your ethics, responsibilities and customer first etc. People reading: ensure you pay via credit card if you wish to shop at JL, that way you are guaranteed your money back if there is a problem. I will continue to battle on.........

Incredibly bad experience with John Lewis, please avoid buying online good at all costs! Laptop purchased online (available at time of purchase) and after 1 week still no news, no laptop, no refund, no contact from JL!!! I had to call then twice at my expense every time with no luck. It is absolutely and utterly shocking!

I ordered a nice bouquet of flowers for my mum. The delivery day and went and unfortunately for some unknown reason the delivery company didn’t deliver them. I called John Lewis and was delighted with the customer service who refunded my money and sent my mum a gift card😁😁😁 I was so happy with they’re service I ordered a new computer I assumed I would have to wait a few days for it, I received it the very next day. Very happy customer ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My daughter and I ordered the same men’s shaver for Christmas presents for next day delivery. My daughters arrived in store the next day, but mine never arrived. On the 28th December I still hadn’t received it so I went and bought it elsewhere. I phoned John Lewis to say I still hadn’t received it. The guy asked me my name and address and after my reply his response was the word “cool”. I found that very disrespectful. Then he said with an attitude “ well you did order it just before Christmas”. So I replied you took the order promising it to be next delivery and my daughters arrived in time. His manner on the phone was not what I expect from John Lewis. No apology for bad service and very let down by them. I would be very hesitant to order from them again.

Purchased a duvet, terrible quality, send it back the same day. No refund. The reason provided “discrepancy from the returns paperwork and the condition the item was received in” Never again John Lewis.

DANGEROUS ITEM FOR CHILDREN Do not buy calia bench!! This bench my 4 year old boy was sitting on it and the bench toppled over and landed on his foot, almost chopping off his big toe. He spent 4 weeks off school unable to walk and his toe had to be operated on. The design of the bench is very poor and there was no warning stating the bench can topple over with children’s weight. John Lewis have said they are not taking any liability for the accident, we are disgusted with this outcome. Our little boy has been left traumatised , feel very let down by John Lewis! Very poor design and poor customer service

I ordered three dresses amongst several other items from them. My partner didnt like the style or size and I returned them. john Lewis claim there is damage to one of the items, so they haven't refunded any of the items and they won't confirm in writing what the imaginary damage is or return it to me. Presumably some clown in their warehouse damaged it on receipt or its new company policy to lie about returns to keep some cash. I remember when JL were a highly reputable company. No wonder they are going bust. When they deign to reply in writing I will be referring them to the ombudsman.

John Lewis has failed repeatedly to simply send us a guarantee that applies to an iPad, their after sales service is appalling, going round and round in circles and getting nowhere. Inefficient, incapable of joined up thinking, never buy from them again!

Very bad refund service. I bought a china bowl online, which was cracked. I was refunded the money immediately and decided to order another. In error I ordered the wrong colour, so I decided not to collect the item, but let Waitrose return it. I’ve spent 17 days chasing a refund. John Lewis themselves admit the item has been scanned and returned but not yet ‘checked’ and are obviously ‘stalling’ on giving me a refund. I’ve contacted Customer Services on a few occasions regarding this and the last response from a customer service team member was,” thank you for reaching out to John Lewis”. Have they now become the Samaritans??? Or similar mental health organisation, due to people going mad over trying to get blood out of a stone?? Very disappointed in their response and service.

I have ordered a sofa from John Lewis for “guaranteed” Christmas delivery. They lied and misled me to take my money and make the sale. I am told it will not now arrive before Christmas as promised. Now we have nothing to sit on over Christmas, this has to be the worst service ever and disgrace to a British institution that they do a promotional campaign that they can’t not uphold. Greed to get my sale and let me and my family down. I will seek legal action but it will not solve my Christmas upset. No wonder they are in such a financial state. Knowingly oversold !

Ordered click and collect items to be delivered to a nearby pick up point. Received no email from Collect+ to give delivery code or collection code. Shop owner couldn't release item without code. Emailed customer services and would be told we would receive reply within 24 hours, 24 hours later received an email in barely readable English to say they had forwarded message to another department and would get reply after 48 hours! Well 72 hours passes and no reply so we took to tweeting, they told us they would look into it but again no reply. Rang customer services they said they would ring courier service and reply, gave us £5 goodwill gesture off the bill. Still no reply Awful, John Lewis there are people who work for a lot less money than you who do a lot better job. Never again!

I love John Lewis but was sad to see that they were using the awful DPD courier service to make deliveries.Have never had a good experience with that company and needless to say they have not delivered my packages and said that they have.Im out £35 pounds and despite a very nice lady on the John Lewis helpline it looks like they aren’t going to help.DPD consistently loses packages or delivers them to the wrong address or just doesn’t turn up.They are a disgraceful company and I won’t be using John Lewis deliveries again while they still use DPD
