They are the least user friendly online company I have ever used. Received damaged and ill fitting clothes. Paid to return them and have yet to be credited!! Steer well clear of using them. Far better companies deserve your custom.

This company is a scam! Do not use it. My 14 year old son spent his Christmas money on an Xbox Fifa game and paid extra for next day delivery. The parcel didn't come we received no explanation from zavvi or yodel the delivery company. In fact my son and I have now spent three weeks chasing it up with calls and emails and have received no explanation from either company. There is no customer service, they have stolen his money and simply do not care about him getting his goods. At least he's learnt an important lesson read customer reviews first!

The customer services department are the most unhelpful I have experienced. Description of the product I ordered did not match what I was sent I explained this and was told it did however the picture was of a green screen for stikbots I received a tripod. I asked for an exchange for the correct item was told I had the right item case closed. I would advise anyone to go to a reputable company not these charlatans.

Do not do business with Zavvi. They have the worst customer service, often orders arrive wrong or damaged and they don't want to know. They recently did an offer where if you subscribed to their "zbox" monthly service you could receive two past mystery boxes for free. What I received were two identical boxes with all the same items in them and some were damaged. Customer services refused to respond at all. I've had other problems in the past with this dodgy little company and I would strongly recommend everyone avoids them.

An absolute dreadful company to deal with their after sales service and their web site for after sales contacting them is a disgrace to and they should be pulled off the internet for what is scamming customers out of postage and not taking responsibility for returns which are faulty, i have not read the other reviews as i din not want to cloud mine but when there are great companies on the internet why would you risk buying from this hopeless organization that is full contradictions "were here to Help" they keep emailing back to me yes help themselves.

Terrible company! Ordered a movie series almost two months ago now. After the first 30 days, I was told they could resend. Another two weeks later and still nothing! Put this crappy place out of business

I was sent the wrong item, the return process has taken over a month, they refused to cover shipping costs, and then deleted my account from their website after I was forced to get paypal involved.

On the 26th Nov 2016 I placed an order for The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon with Rocket Launcher Pop! Vinyl Figure (which was in stock) and was told that I would receive the item by the 12/12/16 which never came, I messaged them and get told it will be dispatched and with me by the 19/12/16 once again it never came. So another message to Zavvi and got a generic email saying it will be with me on the 19/12/16 but that day had past confused.com or what so another message was sent and they said it was OUT OF STOCK. I was fuming by this time as I placed the order while it was in stock so why have I not got my item. after countless messages to them which you get a different person replying with another generic email that someone just sends to shut you it is now into the 7th week of waiting. I can understand Christmas and New Year period they won deliver but to have place an order at the end of November and still not have it is SHOCKING. I cant believe a company as big as Zavvi does not have phone number to actually speak to someone probably they don't want the amount of calls from unhappy customers. It will be the first and LAST TIME I use ZAVVI for anything.

I've completed three online enquiries and have attached a missing order form (DSD) twice while attempting to find the last part of my order (Mumbo Cube Plush Toy) for my son. He was terribly disappointed to have not received it for Christmas, but now the New Year is upon us and it still hasn't arrived. The lame and "auto" messages from the Zavvi support (and I use the term loosely) team have simply promised someone would look into it and let me know when they know something...that's it...they'll let me know when they know. To add insult to injury, when I'd sent the last enquiry asking about delivery of two items, their immediate response was "are you still waiting for the delivery?" in reply to my enquiry. As stated, incredibly poor support...

First time last time customer. Ordered 4 blu rays on November 26 as Christmas gifts. 3 arrived all individually on separate days, one past the estimated delivery time. When I complained about the 4th item, I was told I needed to wait 30 days until December 27th. On the 27th it still had not arrived so I contacted customer service again and was told I needed to wait an additional 3 days until December 30th. Are you kidding me?! That's your solution...for me to just continue to wait? 30 days have passed!!! That's not proper customer service. And what kind of company ships four blu rays individually that were all purchased at the same time? That is just bad business both from a cost perspective for the company and for me as the customer. The absolute worst experience I have ever had buying a blu ray and I buy tons. Never a problem with Amazon UK or Germany when buying overseas. And when customers make purchases on Black Friday that are intended for Christmas, you as the merchant have an OBLIGATION to ensure it gets delivered in time for Christmas! Totally unacceptable. Get your act together Zavvi and get me my order! December 29th: Zavvi tells me to upload 'Non-Receipt of Goods' disclaimer form which will NOT upload. I tried in several different file formats over a dozen times and it WILL NOT UPLOAD! Why as the CUSTOMER do I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GET AN ITEM I PAID FOR!!!! IT"S YOUR JOB AS CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIX MY PROBLEM AND MAKE ME SATISFIED. THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered first week of December in plenty of time for Christmas. After initial delivery date passed was then GUARANTEED would be sent by Christmas, again they stated would be delivered on 23/12. Well as you can guess this never happened and as it was 23/12 was too late to order elsewhere, this was a Christmas present. - take money and do not care.

This company sells stock that they do not have! They took my money, still haven't shipped the order as they don't have it and are waiting for their supplier to deliver it to them! Beyond poor.

I purchased 2 Cyber Monday specials that were deducted from my bank account the following day and never arrived. I have written customer service daily with no results and have asked them to call me which they refuse to do. I can't find their phone number to save my life-RED FLAG!!!!!! I had to dispute the charges with my bank and run out at the last minute to purchase new Christmas gifts and ship them to Florida before the 12/20/16 deadline for delivery by Friday 12/23. Thanks for the extra holiday stress Zavvi-YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!

Terrible unreliable company. I ordered and paid for PS4 bundle late November for delivery early December. Nothing arrived so called to find out what was happening. Got an auto reply they would respond within 24 hours. Was later told my order was cancelled as the bundle was oversold. So why sell stuff they haven't got. Not even the decency to e-mail to tell me they had cancelled my order. Scammers & time wasters. My bro didn't get his birthday present on time. Argos was only £10 more and delivered a day earlier than they estimated. No more Zavvi for me and I won't be recommending them.

Purchased in error 2 PlayStation bundles on Black Friday. Cancelled online within 12 minutes of the order being placed and backed up this cancellation with an email to customer services too. I was advised the following day that they would attempt to stop it. By the Sunday I was advised they could not stop the order and I would be receiving both and it was my responsibility to return and pay (with insurance) for the unwanted product - NOTE Distance Selling Regulations confirm that if you the consumer cancels the order before it was despatched then the company should pay for the return. apparently my order was despatched on Black Friday at around 9pm when I completed the order - yeah right. After agreeing for them to collect the order via Yodel on the 5th December and waiting for a refund, they advise me it will take up to 10 working days to arrive at their warehouse, 3 working days to process the order and then a following 5 working days for it to credit my card which I used to purchase. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAMMERS - You will see from other reviews they send a stupid generic reply about feeding back the service blah blah blah. If you are caught in the same position, speak to your bank in the first instance and get them to arrange a chargeback rather than waiting up to a month for Zavvi to apply a refund. WORST COMPANY EVER - DO NOT BUY.
