Everyrhing went wrong and despite special concession we still have got a sofa where every day the cushions she'd the equivalent of a duck shooting match. John Lewis to not follow the procedures and definitely do not honour the manufacturers warranty a matter that they are about to experience in the county court. Awful people and zero customer service provided with an extra helping of stonewalling and attitude.

Bought a (rather expensive) gazebo that only lasted 7 summer months outside. Not impressed when a tear appeared in the canvas and JL wanted over £100 to replace.

What a poor service we had from a company we thought had a good reputation. To start with we had to wait about 1/2hr just to get somebody to serve us. Finally managed to purchase an integrated dishwasher. Paid for delivery and fitting plus extra for 5yr guarantee so spent a lot of money. Had to wait for delivery date and when eventually arrived fitters said they could not fit it as it was integrated. They took the machine away and we later received a call to say we had not paid enough for fitting an integrated machine. I said not my problem I paid what the sales person told me - £25. He said I needed to pay £90 for fitting an integrated dishwasher and that they could not fit it for another 10 days. I said I expected to forego the fitting charge altogether as I had been messed about. Not willing to do this so cancelled order and asked for money to be refunded. Went to curry’s had brilliant service and dishwasher delivered and fitted within 2 days. Paid just £40 for fitting. Well done Curry’s. I fear for John Lewis as they have to rely on their reputation for good service, which they are failing to provide. I have shopped at John Lewis for 40 years, but they have now lost me as a customer.

Had a washing machine delivered last night and the two guys were absolutely brilliant! They kept us informed of their ETA and then arrived on time with the correct machine and then went on to professionally install it. There was Keith and his junior Daniel. Keith was showing Daniel how he was doing things etc and he done it all very professionally, they seemed to have a great rapor. I am more than impressed with the service I have received from John Lewis so a huge thank you to you all. Bernie H

Television purchased from J Lewis, have their 5 year guarantee. TV screen had black lines come across it. Screen changed, but new one has a black shadow across the bottom . Have rung J Lewis several times, emails with photos and visited Norwich store to make official complaint with customer services. Always told they would contact me within 24-48hrs, unfortunately nothing after over a week not even an acknowledgement ! Time to take matter further! Hopeless, no customer service at all!!

hOW LONG HAVE YOU GOT. I PURCHASED A BREADMAKER WHICH IS BROKEN.i rang john lewis in the first instance to report item. I was told to phone Panasonic the manufactor who in turn told me to ring workshopnwar which I did they wanted copy of receipt which I emailed . they sent me a download to read which I did then they wanted a receipt with the word breadmaker on I tried to send this lots of times it said addressee invalid after numerous emails phone calls etc on premium rates workshop have told me to go back to john lewis with who the warrenty was . I should have been told this by john lewis at first. I rang john lewis today 45 mins on phone again they told me it was there mistake but wanted me to drive 10 miles to take item back to nearest store 10 miles back and the same again when it was fixed. I asked out of courtesy could they collect and she said no. I will certainly not be buying from john lewis again . I have wasted nearly £200 plus phone calls time etc.

Great selections of baby product and really decent prices. Also if you go in store they're extremely helpful and informative about all their products

I bought an expensive duvet cover and pillow case to match the bedroom wall colour from John Lewis. I always like to hang washing outside to dry if the weather is fine but within three months of weekly washing the predominant blue colour had turned to grey but the pillow case, being smaller and on the back of the line remained a beautiful blue colour. When I contacted customer service they were very unhelpful and refused to refund and insinuating that I had done something wrong and even suggesting I shouldnt have put it outside to dry.After several emails , I gave up and gave it to a charity shop and bought a new one from the Secret Linen store that I have dried outside all summer and its beautiful blue has remained exactly the same as when purchased. Oh, and it was considerably cheaper and a much better quality cotton. I vowed never to shop in John Lewis ever again .

Rubbish!!!! Sent broken wardrobes and now wont collect until they have investigated with their suppliers. I now have 3 wardrobes stored in the hall of my bungalow and I am trying with reduced mobility due to disability to get round them to get to my bedroom and toilet. Very Very unhelpful service. John Lweis has definately gone downhill!!!

By the choice of items (childrens dresses) and the speed with which they were delivered to my local Waitrose shop for me to collect.

I have an "Added Care" warranty for my washing machine. My machine broke on 3rd September. The engineer came out on 6th September but the part he brought was broken so could not be fitted. Due to a lack of staff (their words not mine) at the company which John Lewis use to carry out repairs the next two appointments on 19th September and 1st October were cancelled and the machine was finally fixed on 4th October - a month after I reported it broken. I had to use the launderette, a nearly 10 mile trip, for a month at a considerable cost. John Lewis Added Care team investigated, told me the time scale was overall unsatisfactory and "awarded " me £20 for each of two cancelled visits. I do not believe that the warranty provided is fit for purpose and am very disappointed in the complete lack of customer service provided by John Lewis.

I tried to order a free swatch but was unable to, I emailed a couple of times and sent a message through the website but they never got back to me so I went straight to the manufacturer who was very helpful.

No matter who you are they always have the most wonderful manners with every one, would not heat other companies to learn from them no matter if you spend a £1 or £1000 they will treat you the same respect!!! Love them

Do not buy bespoke curtains from JL. They fitted curtains that didn’t match, this wasnt noticed until after the fitter left. I contacted their Didsbury home furnishing department, via email (many many times) I tried calling - no response. I even emailed the JL MD (Paula Nickolds) no acknowledgment even. Absolutely APPALLING.... Clearly John Lewis no longer care about the customer..
