Very interesting to see how this company willfully deceives it's customers, through innocuous looking smokescreens and the form of free digital magazines, and less than efficient online chat. I decided to give them a try as they offered the best price on a lego set I wanted to buy as a gift. When I went to the shopping basket, I saw my Lego set, plus a 'free' digital copy o something called "The Lowdown Issue No.6." I neither asked nor wanted this extra item but there was no way to remove it from my basket. Upon ordering the digital magazine was sent to my email address. Now the lego has still not been dispatched, is several days past it's "expected dispatch date" according to Zavvi and when I try to cancel the order I am unable to because part of my order has already been dispatched! Therein lies the devious nature of this 'free' digital magazine. It enables Zavvi to take your money, even if they don't have the product you paid for in stock, and deny you the right to cancel before the product has been dispatched. Very underhanded, very devious.... When I contacted the 'live chat' and asked when my product would be shipped, the helpful adviser responded 'we are unable to provide this information' This is a company which advertises on Youtube. A complete and utter sham of a business. Stay Well Away

If I could give it NO stars I would the worst company I’ve ever purchased from and I won’t be ever again I urge you not to purchase from either. I purchased an in stock Lego item 2nd November for immediate dispatch for a birthday present got an email item will be dispatched 5th Nov. It is now 29th November and still processing ???? I’ve send 6 emails to zavvi asking for dispatch or refund who state each time as it is processing they are unable to refund yet it is not being dispatched either ????? They are still selling them item as in stock when there is obvious supply issues with the item. DO NOT PURCHASE from this company if for a birthday present or especially a Christmas present or you won’t get it or indeed a refund to purchase elsewhere you have been warned. Awful experience

Ordered a Lego product over 2 weeks ago, which has still not been dispatched. The only chat staff are very slow or do not respond. Staff make estimations on when your order will be dispatched, however at this point I’m not sure it will come.. do not order Lego products from this company!!

Awful company, tell lies and break there only policy. Absolutely shocking. Shame on them state you will get a refund then say it’s too late. Honestly the worst company I have ever purchased from.

koop als EU-lid nooit bij Zavvi! Zij claimen op hun website dat er geen extra kosten zijn als EU-bewoner maar niets is minder waar. Een aankoop van 23,45€ krijgt een additionele 22€ voor tax en import. Na contact met de verkoper verwijzen ze fijntjes naar de algemene voorwaarden die anders zijn dan deze op hun FAQ ivm Brexit en verzending. Annulering of terugbetaling worden door hen geweigerd... Laat u niet zoals mij vangen door zo'n frauduleus gedrag

Asked their customer service to get a size chart for a unisex hoodie. They said they would get back to me after 1-3 days. It has been 2 years. Still haven't heard back from them. So glad I didn't order.

Avoid ordering from here, they put sales on items they don't have in stock and never dispatch them, even if they do have stock. It would be quicker to get a sloth to make the product from scratch and hand deliver the order

Placed an order almost a month ago that hasn't even been despatched yet, requested the order be cancelled as the items were purchased as a birthday present (the occasion has now gone by) but all I keep being told is the order is "stuck in the warehouse" - definitely won't be using this company again! Wish I'd read the reviews on here first.

I ordered 3 items in July 2021. It's now November and I still haven't received my items. I've contacted them multiple times for updates and again to ask to cancel my order since I'd been waiting so long, only to be told in October I couldn't cancel it as it was in the warehouse ready to be dispatched. It's now been 4 months and I still haven't received my items or a refund.

I ordered some shirts and one of them came in the wrong size. They expect me to pay for return postage for them to send me a replacement. They are the worst customer service I have seen and have no business doing business in the USA. Don't Buy Here!

DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS! I ordered a T-shirt for my sons birthday but it never arrived. They keep saying they can’t refund as it’s in the warehouse but never post it.

I wish I had done my research before I ordered a $450 item from Zavvi. They are scammers and frauds. When I told them 4 times to cancel my item, they 1) had already charged my credit card, and 2) told me the item was in the 'warehouse' and couldn't be cancelled. (this is AFTER they told me I could cancel the item). Now they tell me if it doesn't arrive in 30 days to contact them again. DON'T mess with this company.

Liars and frauds. Ordered an item on 10th Oct. paid for next day delivery. . Didn’t turn up. Emailed in on 15th to cancel and was told I’d be refunded in 3-5 days. Still no refund. Emailed in again and was told it was dispatched on 9th October. Even though on 15th Oct they told me it still wasn’t dispatched

Unfortunately, I just have to confirm that this company is a scam as all reviews say! I just regret I didn't check this site earlier as I trusted Which?. They've got these scammers on their website. However, they made a progress in their scams. Earlier they didn't send orders at all, now they send empty boxes!

August 19th - Ordered $215 of John Carpenter Blu-ray box sets. Order paid for in full. September 16th - Order dispatched. Tracked shipping NOT available/offered. Only $4.99 flat rate standard shipping. October 25th - Still no package. Ordered same sets from Ebay. That's the only way I received these box sets. STAY AWAY FROM ZAVVI! You have been warned! If you order from them and don't receive your item, it's now your own fault.

Like many poor reviews here I ordered a large Lego set and est delivery date came and went. The tracking they provide is completely bogus when entered into the carriers tracking website. Never order from Zavvi.com they will attempt to scam you out of hundred's of dollars... Buyer beware.

This company is run by racists! if you're British or your first name is not Steve or Bob or John you can forget proper customer service. Also,s company has like 3 people working in customer service, or else your reply times would be way better. 5 + years of purchasing from you, I did not get my last order. So how do you help me out when I contact you? You don't help, you fake escalate your customers to 'Customer Relations' but don't. You tell your customers you're going to call them when they're in a completely different time zone and country. When a customer tells you they will never buy from you anymore, you brush them off and move on. You treat your customers like second-rate citizens. You delay helping them. I get my goods, but when I don't there is basically no point in reaching out for help.

Absoluetly horrifc They robbed me. They never delivered my parcel and then they just kept my money. £279.99, they just, kept it. I've spoken to almost every member of staff there (including the Customer Relations Executive) and no one wants to put an end to it. I really want to say how I feel but im just so dishearted. I just don't have the energy to walk you through my experience. All I'll say is, stay clear of Zavvi. It's just not worth feeling like this. Sam
