Ordered a bistro set but items come separate so because the chairs could be delivered immediately but the table couldn't be delivered for 6 weeks have cancelled whole order. Me £400 .... john lewis £0 yet more buying incompetence from a company whose retail success is the talk of the time. Off to B and Q or Tescos. They have very similar and cheaper.

Called JL to order kids England football shirt after noticing a pricing error online. Age 9/10 is £85 all others are £40, all are marked as on sale 10% off. I assume this is a simple pricing error and call to see if they can override it and correct it on the site. I spoke first to Amy who told me the shirts were being price matched (no mention of a price match on the site) and that £85 was the original price which was correct as the retailer they were price matching must be out of stock of this size. She also told me they were on sale and they often have sales on certain sizes. I explained this did not add up as the sale was 10% off and clearly 10% off £85 is not £40, also various retailers (sports direct, next, Nike) have the shirts for £40 or very close. I was put on hold while she spoke to a supervisor, they apparently confirmed it was the correct price. I asked to speak to the supervisor, now there were no supervisors available. Two minutes later there were no supervisors on shift. She kept repeating that it was a price match and talking over me. Eventually she put me on to Richard, he was very rude and told me I didn’t know what a price match was, then spoke over me, called me rude and hung up. Called back to complain, they agreed it was a clear pricing error. The original customer service employees were rude, ignorant and completely unwilling to listen or help. This is the second time I received this appalling service from JL, the stores still have great customer service, but the call centres are outsourced and not the same experience at all.

I always go to John Lewis when I buy any electricals or any high price purchases. Their customer care service is brilliant! I usualy pay for added care so that accidental damage is covered, and I always shop around to ensure the price is competitive as they offer a high street price match policy.

From the moment we went to department on Saturday afternoon that we were looking to buy goods from to the customer service dept @ the Chester branch was a pleasure .The salesperson was really nice and not pushy or trying to get you to buy accessories that you don't need unlike other stores nearby. But also knew what he was talking about .Have been kept in touch by text all week .and have just received the phone call to say delivery on route and he even was cheerful even though stuck in traffic. I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends once again thank you

John Lewis Milton Keynes. Understaffed and undertrained staff with an attitude problem. The staff roam in packs acting as though they are superior individuals and will engage in conversation with you only under duress and any request elicits a response akin to doing a highly unwilling favour. I have no idea why as they seem incapable of managing inventory levels or acquainting themselves with the features of the equipment they sell unless a Brand Representative is around (who they also behave rudely to). You will get more useful information from the product label on the shelf, as they read this and then repeat it back. Incorrectly too on one occasion. The on-commission brand staff are much better to talk to generally than anyone who is an actual John Lewis employee. The attitude problems among store management must be awful if this is the effect they have on the shop floor staff. I was not surprised to see many people looking with the Amazon app running on their phone.

Went in store to look at some products 'in the flesh'. Great store layout and extremely helpful staff.

Absolutely appalling service received. Customer service just shocking, should be renamed ‘don’t give a damn about customers’. Bought a washing machine and paid to have it installed. Installation engineer (that’s a joke of a job title by the way) said he couldn’t connect new washer to our plastic pipes, promptly when on to dismantle the y splitter from our cold feed pipe which goes to our washer and dishwasher so that he could connect the washer to the main cold feed pipe and told me I’d have to connect the dishwasher myself. Did he have permission to do unplumb my dishwasher - no! At no time did he mention that when I had to undo his plumbing to plumb the dishwasher he unplumbed did he advise that this would invalidfy his work and absolve John Lewis of any liability. Sure enough the pipework the installation engineer removed when put back together now leaks. We have now spent hours trying to rectify your shoddy work and have the added expense of buying new parts and paying a plumber to sort the problems out. Customer services are just a joke and have washed their hands of this as according to them they have investigated our response and been absolved of all responsibility and liability because we touched their appalling engineering installation to put it back to how it should be. It’s a shame we can’t wash our hands of the problems - oh we can! We also get to wash our feet too as the pipes leak water all over them too! Hope you’re happy with your service and staff John Lewis because we certainly aren’t and will be doing everything in our gift to let everyone know what a shocking service we have paid for from you.

Do not let John Lewis do your fitted wardrobes. They are not "made-to-measure" as they have implied. They have a set of carcasses that they pop in and they add 'fillers' on the sides to cover the gaps. They've wasted about 50cm of storage space. In addition to this, they were not clear about how they were going to make sockets available. Previously, my shelf had the socket attached to the wood, but John Lewis just cuts a hole to make the socket available (also, their removers managed to make a mess out of the removal). This is problematic as I have to stick my hand into the hole through the giant gap before I can plug it in. Did I also mention that they did not deliver the drawers in one bedroom and they delivered smaller drawers in the other? Of course the sides were covered by 'fillers' again...
