John Lewis Looses the Plot  ii – The Zanussi years I purchased a Zanussi washing machine in August . The house electrics tripped on the 17th of October, traced two days later to an earth fault on  the machine which  is 30 days old by now.  The kitchen had a hot electrical smell.   John Lewis whom I bought it from have left me to deal directly with Zanussi repair agent part of the increasingly publicised John Lewis drive to ruin their service reputation. An engineer visited a few days after the failure and found a leak in the drum which had sprayed water on the electrical components and arcing had heated the wiring. This was manufacturing defect. Zanussi insisted that at this point,  30 days from new they were within there rights via consumer law and their own small print to repair  rather than replace. The Zanussi  service sub-contractor promised delivery dates for the new drum, wiring loom and other parts and arranged on two occasions to come and fit. On one of these occasions not bothering to communicate that they were not coming because some spares needed were not in stock. 20 days pass, John Lewis can’t or won’t bring the manufacturer to what surely is the fair conclusion replacing the machine. No the New John Lewis don’t do customer service like they used to,  they leave you at the mercy of the manufacturers. Zannussi insist we wait for the missing spares which may arrive on the 13th of November. The parts will be fitted on a date to be determined by them, if the parts don’t arrive or it doesn’t work after the repair . Zanussi insist they have to confirm whether it is a manufacturing fault or not. Nice to be a unpaid member of their research and development team.    Before now I would have thought it would have more economical all round to supply a replacement machine but alas no.   As for John Lewis it is sad to loose a trusted,  reliable name in the market place but this isn’t my only experience of them lately I am afraid     ‘Never Knowingly giving good service’    has become their new strap line in some areas of the business. As the economy bites for JL there is a positive on the horizon  -    Major savings on the Chrismas Advert costs,    JL’s  top table, Paula, Rory, Ed, Dave, Craig, Bėranggėre and Dino  will Dress as  Elves  and sing.  “Were not Dreaming of Whites this Christmas”  Production costs £100 all in.  Sorted

Easy to order online. Good communication on expected delivery times, with updates. And the guy even carried the cot in to the right room in the house for us. Cot seems great so far apart from one thing - it stunk of paint when we first got it and had to air it out for a week to get rid of the smell, and even now its not completely gone.

Again, two more repeat poor on line service orders. Items sent to wrong stores but JLP didn’t bother telling us. Took the money from us and made no attempt to rectify until we made official complaint. Another Item ordered with a caveat that we operate office hours and to deliver within a 10 hour window but no, they choose to deliver outside of that time. At no point do JLP acknowledge they have a massive problem and their customer service is poor. Use to be that M&S and JLP had outstanding customer service but now both companies service is the worst on the high street and on line. Shame on you.

Bought a mattress topper in October which is very comfortable. Needed to wash it as I spilt a cup of honey and lemon and some drops wet the edge of the topper. I decided to handwash rather than giving it a thorough and complete immersion wash. The wetted part developed a zebra skin pattern of mid brown staining. When I took it back they told me that there was nothing that they could do as it was my fault and that the cotton seeds in the padding had leached colour. Very annoyed as no mention of colour leaching cotton seeds on label.

John Lewis- Terrible product and terrible customer service! DO NOT BUY from John Lewis! I wish I had read all these shocking reviews before purchasing a £2000 television from John Lewis. After a few months the tv had a strong line of pixels showing at one side. Fair enough, Martin Dawes came out and replaced the screen. I would rather have had a replacement item but gave them the benefit of doubt and accepted a replacement screen only. 2 months later a blue pixel line appeared down the screen. Again they came out and confirmed that the screen needs replacing. Note the tv is only 10 months old. I wasn’t happy with another screen as there is obviously a fault with something else on the tv causing the screen issue. JL is trying to hide behind terms as in the first year the product repairs are covered by the manufacturer rather than JL so they are looking for the cheap way out, which ultimately won’t solve the problem that is causing the screen to become faulty, rather mask the issue for another few months. Saving grace is that I purchased through Paypal Credit so can claim back through them. JL is in serious trouble and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some major changes at the top. They used to be big on customer service but not anymore...

Put an order through today for goods in excess of a thousand pounds. During the order I was verified by the Barclaycard online security that nobody could ever guess and I received emails confirming my order 15 minutes later I received a call from the most patronising woman I have ever spoken to telling me if I do not very my details again she will not release my order and despite me verifying my details she cancelled the order It is no wonder Amazon are taking over the retail industry as this is crazy that these high street companies do not ant to sell you anything!!!

Horrible delivery service. I had to wait for more than 4 weeks for a set of overpriced chairs (200 each) and call them 6 times before they manged to arrange a delivery.

Once again a pre planned delivery failed despite being contacted by courier at 1215 to tell me he would deliver withing 30 mins. No credible explanation provided for this failure despite my telephoning customer service at both 1430 and 1930 hrs. I had taken a day off work, I have had to cancel the order and have been offered £10 compensation which is derisory for the inconvenience and the lost day of work John Lewis this is a major issue which is damaging your reputation.

I purchased (well thought I did) 3prints from john lewis they gave me a delivery time of 5 days for 2 of the prints and 14 days for the other ok I thought then on the given delivery date I stayed into to receive them no show so I waited in the next day still no show then I contacted john lewis they said the prints had not arrived at their couriers I pointed out that I had tracked the items myself and they were delivered 2days earlier they then said they would be delivered the next day ok I thought again no show then they said they would be delivered on the Monday so I waited in again then o. The Monday I received an email from the courier to say no one was there to accept delivery complete lie no one rang the doorbell or left a card so I contacted john lewis again after 8hrs they replied say they would be delivered next day waited from 9am to 1 30pm emailed JL asking for a delivery time then I received a garbled call saying the items had been returned to JL and that they were now OUT OF STOCK?????? How does that work???? Sort it out
