The worst customer service ever. No wonder they do not a phone number or chat. I order two sweatshirts back in November of 2020. An XL and XXL and the fits and quality were great. March 26, 2021 I ordered XL and XXL. It took over 3 weeks to receive the parcel. The fits were M and XL. The waistband in the XL (medium) was overstretched as if someone larger than myself attempted to wear it. Now I have to pay to ship overseas and after reading all the consumer complaints I do not expect to ever see a refund for the product or the cost of shipping.

Hello, I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about because I have nothing but good things to say about Zavvi. I ordered a Cable Guys Banjo-Kazooie controller holder at an amazing price. It shipped on the 13th and arrived on the 16th of April 2021. I will be shopping with them more for sure.

They always have nice stuff for cheaper price. My boyfriend has ordered some decorations and clothes from them, I ordered a hoodie to his order. His stuff came before the hoodie was even shipped, although they were ordered together. I had to wait a month for the hoodie to be shipped. When it finally arrived it smelled worst than the cheap stuff you get at aliexpress. I made sure to wash it following the instructions, which led to me discovering that they have send the wrong size. Then the hoodie coloured all my clothes and the stamp went off. Also my boyfriend has ordered something else and it never came. They were not very keen on responding him and it took also around a month for him to get his money back.

Horrible and worst company to deal with. Bulk bought incredibles t shirts for a work dress up event a month in advance and realising that the order was still processing a week before we need Ed the tshirts, I tried to cancel my order and they flat out refused. After harassing them for a whole week to cancel the order, the staff at Zavvi began to abuse me by accusing me that I was in the wrong and that they can’t do anything to help me cancel my order EVEN WHEN THE ORDER HASNT BEEN BAGGED AND LEFT THE WAREHOUSE YET. The only way I got my refund back was by making a claim through my bank. AVOID THIS WEBSITE AT ALL COSTS!!!

Customer service has been abysmal, took 4 months to get a reply and then the reply came through another email which surprise surprise you can’t reply to as it goes to a donotreply mailbox. Don’t trust their delivery times that they confirm before you order because apparently that can be 7 days out and still you’re expected to accept it. AVOID.

I ordered a bag and a controller holder, however only received 1 of these items. When trying to contact anyone from Zavvi I either get a automated email saying I'll get a dispatch email when its dispatched which doesn't help me at all, or get no response on the live chat! Guess that's my money gone down the drain as I dont think I'll be able to get in contact with anyone at all about my missing item...

First time using Zavvi for clothes and have to say am very disappointed. Delivery date has come and long gone now - order sat on processing. Several emails later and I can generic responses saying it’s been dispatched for another person to say it’s not. Still on processing and just told to wait.... great, thanks for your help! Joke.

I was drawn in by the 'Zavvi exclusives' I couldn't get anywhere else so I put together a basket worth hundreds, then went to pay and their 'next day delivery' option disappeared. No problem I thought, I can deal with standard delivery. 2 weeks and 5 emails later and still no update, the whole order is stuck on "processing" and the responses from Zavvi are generic copy pastas telling me to wait until the status changes, when it says the estimated dispatch was last Monday.. They wouldn't cancel or refund the order so I had to contact my bank to refund it manually and charge back. Never use this company, their 5 star reviews are as questionable as their nonexistent customer service. Avoid like the pandemic.

I ordered a switch 30.3.21 paid for next day delivery, I read reviews and after reading them I didn’t have much hope of Switch coming, I live in Cornwall so I really didn’t think it would be here the next day, but it arrived today 31.3.21, I had updates and emails so I could track it. So I’m a very happy mum and more importantly il gave a very very happy daughter when she comes home from school, FAB !!

Placed an order on the 15th of November, 2020 for a snoopy on doghouse funko pop deluxe. It's now the 24th of March 2021 and I have yet to see the status of the item change from "Awaiting Stock". Don't order anything from this company ever.

I moved home and told them that I had 4 item on preorder but had moved to a new home I orderd more items to my new address rang zavvi to ask if all item could be sent to my new address only to be told no sorry we can't change the address once the order had been placed ,I had to go back to my old address 4 times to get my items because the office at zavvi could not change to my new one I did a total of 80 miles to get my orders not good practice for a large firm like zavvi.

Terrible customer service. Ordered Nintendo switch red and blue Mario limited edition, got delivered an ordinary one which is £40 cheaper anyway. On contacting Zavvi they couldn't care less it was meant to be a birthday present, original order out of stock and all they offered was a £10 credit to the account! Absolutely ridiculous. Avoid if you can!

I wanted to order some items for my daughters' birthday but was unable to get the online store to accept the discount codes advertised. The discount codes worked fine - individually - but if I inserted another one the previous one would become invalid. After contacting a representative the solution was to split the orders up to include only items from 1 promotion at a time and ordering them. The discount codes also had a cap because I was ordering a decent amount of items the cap was met fairly quickly which means I would have to subsplit the cart even further. After explaining that 1) I live in a 0% VAT Rated country (Outside the EU) and 2) Every individual order would implement a huge handling fee from the goverment postal service - I asked if the items (despite everything) could grouped together for shipping instead of all of the items shipping individually (£7 - £10 pounds per package) the answer was no - it's just not going to happen, that's not how they do things. If it were me I'd be happy to accomodate a new cusomer and have his hefty purchase grouped before shipping in any way possible to show flexibility. It's also shocking that a company as big as Zavvy doesn't have Zero VAT rating figured out - at the same time it offers worldwide shipping.

Such a horrific online experience with ZAVVI and this is not the first occasion that goods were LATE or LOST IN TRANSIT!!! What an abysmal website ZAVVI are, totally on the ball to accept your order and take your MONEY. No phone number even for customer support which is all but nonexistent they take way to long to respond and going on others who have complained I imagine ZAVVI post out bogstandard replies. My order was placed on 28th February 2021..... I received dispatched email saying..... "Your order has been dispatched and will be with you shortly! Delivery is estimated between Wed 03 Mar - Thu 04 Mar We send each item as soon as it is available. If items you ordered are not listed below, you will receive a further email once they have been sent." After taking the day off on the 3rd & 4th March 2021 so either had to lose 2 days annual holiday or lose 2 days wages!!! I contacted ZAVVI customer services and I received the following email...... "Thank you for your recent order ********* and enquiry. We are pleased to confirm that your order has been dispatched and is currently with our delivery provider, if tracking is available for your order the tracking details will be in your dispatch email. At this time we would like to apologise for the delays you have experienced and would like to assure you that we are actively in contact with our courier provider and your order will be delivered soon. Thank you again for your patience and should you have any further questions please contact our customer services team, who will be happy to help. Best wishes Zavvi international Customer Service" Why on earth do ZAVVI give out Estimated time of Delivery and tell you... "your order has been dispatched and is currently with our delivery provider" Why no tracking available? Why no word on which Delivery Provider" ZAVVI has used so I can contact them directly with a tracking number? I shall post an update tomorrow evening once I see if they deliver or not by the Estimated time line or not!

I ordered an item back in December and it was awaiting dispatch since then. I have tried to cancel my order and get a refund but they state that "We are sorry that we have not been able to fulfil your request as it has already been posted out to you or has already entered the dispatch process." It has not been posted out and has been awaiting dispatch with and estimated date of 28/12/20. Will never use again.
