Preordered Dark Souls 3 well in advance. Delivery time is currently set at approximately 5 days after the release. What is the point of preordering if it doesn't arrive day one? I've bought the game from GAME on the highstreet and am sending their copy back for a refund when it arrives.

Preordered Dark Souls 3 with them and my copy never got dispatched along with 200 other people that ordered it, Zavvi are amateurish at best and diabolical at their worst i've had more competency from Ebay sellers with 0 feedback as it is utterly unacceptable that that a company that rose from the ashes of virgin megastore has fallen so far as to take money for a preorder and not have the item in stock to back it up, could it be that this wounded limb of the Hut group doesnt have the cash flow to keep stock, is it having to take money from consumers to fund its existence, if it is then i feel sorry for it and really it should close its doors. Also dont hold your breath if you have a problem with your order, they dont have a customer support team just a twitter bot that spews out "Could you DM us your order id so that we can help you" and then silence buy from the big guys in the e-commerce world or just go with some third party seller.

DO NOT!!! buy from this company the service is so poor and the staff are just disgraceful they dont treat any customer with respect they treat you like rubbish of the bottom of there foot in my experience this company should not even be aloud to sell anything it should be knocked down it takes me 3 days before i get a reply to a question in a email about my order also i have had my order wrong about 5 times i have proof of one mistake an executive made in an email so i complained they said oh we dont have it on record so i must be lying i have the proof in my email i told them that sent it to one executive and she said i will send you a past zbox free of charge for the confusion and compensation never happened dont trust them they will just keep letting you down over and over again i think this company should think about closing down with the amount of bad reviews its got its disgraceful they dont care one bit about your order and customer service think they need a few lessons on how to treat a customer right and give better service but that will never happen because there attitude towards you it sounds like they dont care PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY ITS BAD REALLY BAD !!!!

I made a mistake by cancelling an order 5 minuites after I made it and re ordering it again with the correct potage on it , that was the only problem with my order , They emailed a hour later to say that my cancellation had failed so I then had two orders for the same thing in the pipeline that I could not cancel , Emailing them is a pointless exercise , I have already received the first order that I had cancelled and now the 2nd order is coming , so I will have been charged twice for the same thing and have two of them , there only reply is to return the item to them which I'm assuming will cost more postage , Amazon would not do this and you could talk to them , this lot are impossible to talk to and communicate with .

Oh look another website that shows the true customer service levels of Zavvi! Poor! Paid for next day delivery at 6pm, they advertise order before 9pm and it will be there the next day. They didn't even dispatch it. No customer service phone number. Social media response poor. Email responses - none! Just avoid them.

Asked for a refund after they sent the incorrect item. Took 8 weeks to sort. Excuse after excuse but at least I eventually got my money back. They need a new customer service IT system.

Ordered a steam mop. When it arrived it was the wrong one. Very poor customer service. Cannot speak to anyone directly. Endless emails. I have given them the numbers of both the one I ordered and the one that I actually received.Have even sent a photo of the mop I received as they requested. All I want is for them to send the correct one and I can hand incorrect one to courier in straight swop. I can't see why this cannot be seen as so straightforward to them. Instead they want me to return this one for a refund. Banging my head against a wall here. Will not be using them again

Absolutely useless send items you don't order still trying to get a refund on an item I didn't order and sent back from last year. Got an email to say it was received by them and now they can't find it. Absolute rubbish do not use

Customer service non-existent. I ordered the January Zbox with a 1 month subscription, wrongly thinking I would only receive the January Zbox. I was then sent the February one as they had put my order on auto renewal. I told them I didn't want it and they just stated return the item and we'll refund you when it arrives. No instruction as to how to return it was given so I returned it by writing 'Return to Sender, item was not ordered' on the label next to the return address. After two weeks I have still not received the refund and they say that the item hasn't returned back and I haven't supplied them with a tracking number no refund will be given until they receive it. Considering I never ordered the thing and I was given no returns instructions I think their customer service is disgusting. There is no phone number to ring and they basically having you running round in circles using their clunky online message system. I have now contacted the Ombudsman to see if I can get my refund as its not my fault a) they sent the item or b) the post office has lost it.

Well, I can't deny the good price and I guess zavvi is good if you don't have to use the customer services. My parcels was lost during delivery (which can happen, I understand),for that I don't blame them. The problem is the customer service, they "reply" to you request with generic, non-relevent answer. You feel like you are talking to robots. They completely ignore your specific questions, and allow themselves 24-48h before you get any updates. When you contact the feedback team about your experience, they just are "sorry for me being unhappy" give themselves up to 48h again and bye bye. They just don't give a thing about you, once they got their money. As of now, after 28 days I still don't have what I paid for. The replacement item has been aproved by them last thursday, and is still not out for delivery. Worst customer service ever.

This company are a joke. PLEASE READ AND DO NOT USE THEM. I placed an order for 2 items of clothing on 9th December for Christmas. First, the order said that one item was not in stock, after saying it was, so the order was split. Neither item turned up, after both were confirmed as shipped. The customer service is pointless, you WILL wait days for a response, and the response will not be followed up and will be from a different person every time. Plus, every time you message them and they reply they close the message thread as complete. In total, I've sent over 30 messages just trying to get 2 items. After 2 months the latest response was, 'our team are looking into you're query and will respond soon, thank you for your patience.' 2 MONTHS! No contact number, no follow ups and no idea. They have some great products and I'm glad for all you that got them, but I've never had such poor service. DO NOT USE... EVER!!!!!!!

Ordered a "Zavvi Exclusive" steelbook Blu-ray back in November 2015, my first of multiple pre-orders with Zavvi. Officially released yesterday (February 1st 2016) but my order was sat awaiting stock! Emailed Zavvi asking why, their response: - "I am really sorry that this has not yet been dispatched. The Walk 3D (Includes 2D Copy) - Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray] is on special order for you with our supplier but at this time they are unable to give me a date for when they will have it back in stock. In the meantime our buyers are trying to obtain this for you from other suppliers." This was pre-ordered LAST YEAR! I have now cancelled all my pre-orders and will take my business elsewhere (if they can't get the first one shipped why bother with the remaining orders).

Pre-ordered an item as a Christmas which was due for release at the beginning of Novemeber. On the release date no notification of dispatch and no update. Finally chased Zavvi middle of November to be told they were having trouble sourcing the item, why offer it as a pre-order then?!? Middle of Decmeber and still no notification or update and finally had to order though another company. Unfortunately due to the business of Christmas/New Year and the time that elapsed sice I ordered the item I forgot to cancel this item. Have now recieved an email to advise that they are shipping this item and depsite contacting them to stop the order this still arrived! I am now emailing back & forwards trying to get the item returned. They want to charge me £6.00 return and they want me to pay this up front via paypal? Absoultely shocked 1. That they want to charge me when they have inconvinienced me and 2. that they want additional money? Surely they should deduct this from my refund? Shocked does not even cover my feelings at present. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!

I am in the United States and ordered a 6 dvd set for my daughter for Christmas. I did not know what a Region 2 was. When i first contacted customer service I was told they would refund the purchase price but not the shipping because it is stated on their website that it was a Region 2. I then got a message saying they would not refund anything because region 2 was stated on their website You would think that since it was paid for with American currency and being shipped to the United States that someone would have contacted me to make sure the the order was correct. First and last time ordering from this company.

Very poor Customer Service ... If anything goes wrong with your order there is no telephone number to call & e-mail contact gets you no results, just stalling, fobbing off messages. ... Steer well clear!

Having now experienced not 1 but 2 instances of incredibly poor customer service from Zavvi, I felt it my responsibility to share these stories in order to warn others that although their prices may be reasonable, don't expect much help from them should anything go wrong! The first instance relates to a promotion Zavvi were running in late 2014 whereby if you made a purchase using a particular payment method (MasterPass) you would receive a £10 voucher. Having received this voucher I attempted to use it, only to discover it was invalid. Having raised this issue with Zavvi (11th March 2015) they eventually informed me that they would issue a replacement voucher once they received them (15th April 2015). 9 months later, I've heard/received nothing more - which basically means I was lured into buying something under false pretenses! The second instance was following an attempt to return an item which I had been sent out due to confusions with subscriptions. Following an exchange of messages whereby I wasn't able to cancel my subscription prior to the items dispatch, I returned the item by post. I received confirmation of this on the 23rd December 2015, in an email indicating I would be issued a refund with 3-5 working days. I eventually received a refund on the 13th January, some 12 working days after they received my parcel, and this was only after me chasing them to reveal the refund hadn't even been processed due to some mistake their end! Having been burnt twice by Zavvi I personally will not be shopping with them again, as truth be told their customer service is amongst the most shambolic it has ever been my utter misfortune to receive.
