JL Broadband should have connected me on Sunday but hey have not been in touch. They cannot be contacted as there is normally a 60 minuted wait, when I did get through they put the phone down on me, John Lewis.com complaints staff seem to have the same problem reaching them by phone, I gave up after holding for 25 minutes while they were trying to make contact with JLB.

I bought a brand new computer which turned out to be faulty. I have been refused a replacement or a refund. Instead, I returned the product to the store to be repaired. After 3 days the product went wrong again, and John Lewis still refused to give me a replacement or a refund. They insisted that I return the product to the store again so that they could send it to be repaired. Five weeks on I have had confirmation from John Lewis that the product is faulty (which I told them several times) and that it has been repaired (which I don't trust). I have had to run my business (for which I bought the computer) without a computer now for five weeks and the repaired computer has still not been returned to me. The lack of customer care is appalling. I'd advise anyone to stay away from John Lewis. I bought the product there because I thought I could trust them if anything went wrong with such an expensive item. I was badly wrong. I am £720 down and still no computer. Absolutely disgraceful.

Despite asking 3 times for an answer to a simple question. John Lewis have failed to answer it. I will not be shopping at the store again. I guess you will not greatly miss my custom but as someone who has spent circa £20,000 with you over the last 10 years. I don't feel you deserve any more profit from me. Please do not contact me as a result of this post as I have had enough of dealing with you.

Absolutely terrible. Today I bought a pair of headphones from the Oxford Street shop. They came in either grey or blue. I bought the grey ones but as they did not have them on their open display, i bought them 'blind'. So i went to work and opened them and did not like the colour. The grey was very light and was hoping for a darker grey. Anyway I went back to the store within an hour of buying them and they would not swap them for the blue ones for me. The reason was because I had opened them. The headphones came in a box with a shrink wrap cover. I had to open the shrink wrap to get to the box. They claimed that because i broke the shrink wrap (which was the only way to open them) they could not swap them for the blue ones. They directed me to their website and refund policy. I could not believe it. So what is your message here John Lewis? . If I had bought them from amazon they would have refunded me immediately. I guess the message is to buy online and not from John Lewis. I will never buy from them again. They have lost yet another customer. They say that the high street is dying and this is another reason for this.

I have a microwave oven that is still under warranty.The engineers have been out twice ,and I am now waiting for a third one.They do not seem to be able to repair it and just keep ordering new parts that I then have to wait up to two weeks for them to come back.i now have been over 4 weeks without my oven. Absolutely disgusting totally unacceptable service .

Dreadful service. I ordered and paid John Lewis online for an Apple watch series 3 order number 205947329, went to collect it but not delivered as promised, then an email saying they had 'lost' my order, then an email asking me to return the watch, then an email with the guarantee details. Still no watch or refund!!

Ordered built-in wardrobe and other bedroom furniture. Date given for fitting but then changed 'due to the fitter having left the company'. (Don't they have any others?) Another date arranged and had to change date for removal of existing furniture, decorating room and carpet fitting. Phoned a few days before the replacement date for fitting and told that everything was ok this time. However, on the day, the fitter turned up but the furniture didn't! Apparently the supplier had the delivery date as the following day. So, all of the bedroom furniture disposed of, bare floorboards as the carpet taken up and carpet fitters again had to be put off. Having to live in a total muddle for another week until fitter and furniture eventually arrived together. Submitted a formal complaint and, after much too'ing and froo'ing, eventually told that it had been 'sent to their carpet fitting team to be dealt with'. Why, as the complaint was about a fitted wardrobe not a carpet! Now over a week later and nothing heard. What is going on with John Lewis' administration? Customer service doesn't seem to exist and they seem totally unable to deal with an order properly let alone handle a complaint.

John Lewis Kingston refused to hand over my laptop to my mother who came into the store as a huge favour to me with the reference number and I.d especially to collect it. She is a huge fan of John Lewis, Sorry WAS and was dealt with really badly. The store refused to call me to check if this was ok and then left her hanging for half an hour until she found a floor manager who couldn’t find an assistant to help either. When I phoned the technical number I had (impossible for myself or the technical call centre to reach Kingston store) they said they would send an email immediately to Kingston for them to call me. It is only possible to call the call centre can only pass on information like robots, impossible to speak to a manager or anyone instore. Kingston said to me when they initially rang that if they sent the laptop back it would be uninsured. The only way I could retrieve it was if I went and collected it. Very inconvenient. When I phoned the next day, i was told the call centre had left my email in a queue and that it had never been sent as they were too busy! It obviously still hasn’t as I’m still waiting for that call and a response to my ini complaint made on the 22nd of November. We are now the 25th... i would advise future customers to look at the trust pilot reviews which are really bad and show how this store has stopped valuing its customers. When I took the laptop in someone was complaining and when I went to collect. There are not enough people dealing with customers in technical support and they are really not very helpful when they finall do. It’s a shame but I certainly won’t be rushing back!

I have shopped with them on line and in store many times and The store staff are always friendly and very helpful. It is a great department store and so pleased we have one not too far away. Their goods are of the best quality and always look forward to shopping with them.

I bought a selection of lampshades on line, and was really impressed with the quality and the friendly service when I had to return a couple of shades that weren't suitable.

Excellent service again. I purchased a Ruark DAB radio from the Trafford Centre store. Excellent customer service and a perfect untouched brand new product which I am very happy with. I always buy my electrical items from John Lewis despite the fact I work for AO.com and receive staff discount. I once purchased an appliance from AO.com and was not happy with the condition of the item so never again, though I should have known better as they are a comedy business run by clowns,

Was pleasantly surprised by the amazing service I received. Ordered 2 x Peppa Pig toys (one rather large and bulky) to be delivered to Australia. I was emailed all the tracking information without delay and my parcel arrived 3 days ahead of schedule in perfect condition. Very happy and glad that all the negative reviews online were not a reflection of the service I received.

I have been trying for months to sort out a problem with my roman blind. Photo’s sent by email supposedly not arriving, promises of returning calls do not happen. Telling me ‘the customer’ that there is nothing wrong with the blind. Taking away a perfectly good blind that I was not complaining about..........it just goes on and on. I received a phone call last Friday telling me the blind was going to be repaired then a phone call today saying the manufacturer could find nothing wrong with it and it was going to be returned ??? I have been waiting since 1pm for a manager to ring me back despite a promise that I would receive a phone call. I now have a bedroom with nothing up at the window which we can’t sleep in.

This is the most useless company in terms of delivery tracking and receiving. I have ordered a mattress on 26th October with a delivery "within 7 working days". It is 22 November and I still do not have it. I have called 10 times already to reschedule delivery which they have not delivered because it was "past working hours", got it rescheduled, said that 22nd until 2 pm is my absolute limit, it is 5 pm now and still no one can give me any clear explanation where my delivery is. This is absolutely ridiculous my granny who is 80 years old will now have to sleep on the floor, let alone myself.
