Awful company from my experience. Orders are routinely cancelled or put on hold indefinitely due to lack of stock. Customer service consistently fail to demonstrate a shred of intelligence, common sense or courtesy.

Rubbish company! Advertising stuff and taking payment for items that they don't even have in stock! Can't even ring them as they don't t have a phone number. So annoyed, been waiting ages for an item too.

always good deals they email you if they think that they have something you would be interested in going by your purchase history they also send money off codes and if order is going to be delayed they keep you informed of its progress

Terrible customer service! I have in the past ordered two items from Zavvi.com, one was a pre-order which clearly said it was due to be released in November. November came and went, getting into mid December I started to worry where my item was as it was a Christmas present I contacted Zavvi to ask where my item was and why I hadn't received it, they then informed me it wouldn't be relaeased until January (despite the website still saying November) January date came, no order I again checked wit Zavvi after two messages to them and no response I checked the website only to find the item was out of stock! Zavvi eventually informed me they didn't know when it would come back in stock then cancelled my order. Rubbish service!

First time I ordered an item it arrived quickly, second time I ordered two items, they managed to sen one of them with a week delay despite the fact that the item was available and in stock. I contacted the customer services so far three times to cancel the remaining part of the order and I am still waiting for them to cancel or manage to send the item. Each person come up with a different excuse.

Ordered a £2k laptop from them, they took the money then sat on the order for a week before cancelling. Stating they couldn't get stock. The item is marked as being in stock and still is. This company is appalling, they broke their own T&C's by canceling without notification, cost me money credit card charges. With no acceptance of fault. Avoid them and don't believe the website. They are totally incompetent!

I pre-ordered some pop vinyls and they were on a deal, 4 for £30. My payment method is Paypal, might i add none of my details have change for as long as I have had Paypal. So i pre-ordered these pops in January, 3 of them were Valentine presents, It is now June and i have not received them, I have sent countless messages over the last 5 months in regards to where my order is at, i understand some pops can be popular and go out of stock quick but they left me in the dark. I then get an email telling me that there was a payment problem on my end therefore the order has been CANCELLED. No way of me resolving it from my end, just straight up cancelled. They will not sort this situation out, they only suggested i re-order which would be me paying more then what i pre-ordered at. There was also no problems with my Paypal or card as they managed to send out 2 of the pop vinyls in this order and take the payment for both of them no problem within those 5 months. After getting into contact with them they ignored the pop vinyl that got cancelled which was what my email entailed. Many messages I have sent them have been ignored! Situation unresolved, will never ever be ordering from them again. One of the worst customer services I've had the misfortune of experiencing.

At 6pm, shortly after I have placed an order on Zavvi (and I mean like less than a few minutes), I have realised there was a mistake in my purchase (selected the wrong size for a hoody). Naturally, I went into My Orders dashboard and select the "Cancel" option. I have even sent a cancellation message to the customer service team. But In less than 20 minutes later, I received an email stating: --------------------------------------------------- Thanks for shopping with Zavvi. We have been unable to cancel the below item(s) from your order: We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. ------------------------------------------- Not even an explanation as to why the cancellation failed! And the cancellation was done mere MINUTES after the order was placed. I went back to check on the order status, and it states that the order was: Status: Awaiting Dispatch So, they are saying the order has been packed and is awaiting dispatch in about 30 MINUTES, and this is done AFTER 6 PM? And they have done this KNOWING that I have sent a cancellation message in regards to this order, choosing to completely IGNORE it? Returning isn't a great option either, as they will CHARGE YOU POSTAGE COST. This is terrible customer service, and I would avoid Zavvi if I were you... At least Amazon is WILLING to give a full refund, including the postage cost!

I ordered the monthly Threads subscription with a half price discount code for the first month, which would have been April, the money was taken and a subscription set up. However, they didn't tell me that I'd missed the deadline for the first month's box, which would have been fair enough if they hadn't proceeded to charge me for the 2nd month despite not actually sending the first box. After questioning this I got a refund, but this was against the first box, so I wouldn't have got my first delivery at half price. I questioned that and received a £5 referral bonus, so I was satisfied at that point. As we started getting towards the last week of May when I was originally told orders would be dispatched. There was no update on my stuff, so I asked where it was and was told it would be shipping in the "next 48 hours". Three days later and no update I asked again and was told "48 hours" and it'll be sent out. The end of May rolls around and there's still no sign of the expected box, but it's alright as I expect it'll be sent in the "next 48 hours", right? The start of June comes along and I am charged again. By this point I've asked where my stuff is and why I have no been charged three times for boxes but received none. I asked them to cancel my subscription and refund my money (on the 2nd June). A few days later and I'm told my order has been cancelled and the refunds processed on both outstanding boxes, I should see the money back in 3-5 days. Not ideal but OK. By the 9th June I've received one refund, but not the other. More messages back to customer services and I'm told (on the 11th June) that both refunds were requested on 6/6/17, so several days later than zavvi told me they had originally been organised. But it's OK, everything was sorted and the money would be back in my account up to "5-7 days" after the refund was organised. So the 11th-13th June, but that's a Sunday so I'll give them a couple more days just in case the weekend causes any problems. So, we're now up to the 16th June. Still no sign of the 3rd refund. So another message to customer support who decide today is the day they'll tell me that the 3rd refund wasn't processed properly. But it's OK, because it wwas sorted "yesterday" allegedly and will be with my in 5-7 days. Now, I understand that sometimes mistakes can happen, but seeing as I've directly asked several times about the progress of my refund I find it unbelievable that they only noticed they'd cocked one of the refunds up yesterday. So either someone is actually terrible at their job or they are lying about what has/has not been organised. On this basis I'd advise anyone to steer clear, at least from their subscription services. I have previously used zavvi for one off purchases when I had a discount code, but even then the service was slow. I can only compare the service I have received here with that I had from Amazon. It's not a flattering one for zavvi. So here we are again, watch this space for "5-7 days" I suppose....

everything that could go wrong did go wrong and the help is terrible , I feel so ripped off (like hundreds off customers in Holland with me (read every review site) . I bought something with DUTCH subtitles and out off nowhere it does not have subtitles and the website is changed. I want my money back, but as a lot off people are writing................. Zavvi doesn't give money back because you can not get in touch with them (only a vage customerservice yeah right).

One good thing was that the product came quickly and was in good condition, but it was the wrong product. In trying to obtain what was originally ordered, or else obtain a refund, I didn't hear back. When a reply finally came, the person stated that after 14 days one cannot get a refund, but it had been less than 14 days. They refused to send the right product or to refund the money. The communication was poor, so, based on that, I will never order anything again from this company. It is amazing that there are so many people who have had bad experiences with Zaavi.

Pre-ordered two items back in early March, they were released at the end of March, on the website it says estimated delivery 28th April, it's now 28th of May and I have no order but the website still says that's the delivery date. Customer service is useless, they don't give you any information or updates to let you know what's going on with your order so I had to reach out to them, all they told me was there is a delay in getting the stock by another 2 weeks, it's been 2 weeks and still nothing from them. I think this was just an excuse because they've over sold and don't actually have them anymore but won't just be honest. If they were honest I could have bought them elsewhere but as they have left me waiting so long they're not out of stock everywhere else and won't be going back in stock. Worst company and service ever.
