I've given JL 4 stars, for their shopping experience & excellent service. However, giving their 'Place to Eat' to a third party to run & cater is an extremely big mistake. We've sampled the range at o... See more

John Lewis is not the wonderful store…

John Lewis is not the wonderful store with great customer service that it used to be . Like everyone else it has outsourced its customer service to foreign call centres and there are two main problems with this . 1) language barrier 2) lack of empathy. I had a mattress for two days protected by a new waterproof protector and they refused to exchange it because I hadn’t bought one of their protectors. This was absolutely not explained to me at the store in Bluewater when I purchased the mattress. They have not only lost my custom but all my friends and family and people I meet will now know that John Lewis is broken . I’ve had much better customer service from a budget bed store

Edit update : I telephoned the number you gave me Steph and spoke to a guy who (after lecturing me about reading small print) has reinstated my right to have a 60 day comfort trial so I will adjust my score accordingly.

Hi Jimmy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am incredibly sorry to hear about your experience following your recent mattress purchase at our Bluewater branch; this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

It is very disappointing to learn that our mattress exchange policy was not clearly explained to you in store, and I completely understand your frustration regarding the advice you subsequently received from our customer service team. We pride ourselves on offering clear information and empathetic support, and it is clear we have fallen short on this occasion.

To discuss this further, please reach out directly to our furniture team on 03456002389. They will be happy to review this. ^Steph

John Lewis - my go to first choice

John Lewis are consistently reliable as a retailer for quality, style and customer service. They continue to be my go to, first choice when I’m shopping for clothes, home ware and gifts. It’s great they have brought back the ‘never knowingly under sold’ promise. Delivery is usually prompt and returns are sorted in a timely manor with no fuss.

Excellent online shopping experience…

Excellent online shopping experience from start to finish. The website was easy to use, ordering was straightforward, and my item arrived quickly and well packaged. Great quality product and excellent service as always. I wouldn’t hesitate to shop with John Lewis online again.

I had a great experience with customer service

I had a great experience with a replacement order. The original order was'lost' by the courier company, DHL, that was supposed to deliver the item. They told me to refer back to John Lewis. JL customer service was excellent and I was able to get my item expeditiously, through a different courier.

The care

The care, support, and precious time given by the staff member who helped my wife and I decide on the colour and fabric of the drapery we bought for the lounge

The hand held fan is amazing

The hand held fan is amazing! It was such a treat wandering around the Cheltenham branch before we bought it - there are too many tempting things to buy - well done John Lewis! The fan has been picked out as the no 1 hand held fan this summer in the Times newspaper! 🙂

Sale, Delivery and installation of new Sony bravia 9

1) Arrived on time, installed it.

But I was informed that this latest Sony Bravia 9 65in TV did not have an optical plug to connect to my Bose soundbar. I was told to get a HDMI Lead.
Sceptical, I had a good look at the ( complicated) back panel and sure enough THERE WAS a plug hole marked optical.
2) There was a SONY pre order incentive of a £300 cashback and a free smaller TV J Lewis that the salesman showed me.
But when the sales invoice and confirmation came there was no mention of it.

Took a while for them to put it right

Delivery men refused to take the…

Delivery men refused to take the packaging from my item back for recycling, although it states this is what they'd do.
I called c/s who advised i would have to pay for this 'service' although it doesn't state this anywhere on my order. Although I called ahead to advise of the several flights of stairs in our home, I ended up carrying part of my order up my stairs. They pushed one part of my order up my newly painted stairs instead of lifting it up although there were two of them. Very unprofessional from John Lewis..I expect better.

Hi Terry,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am incredibly sorry to hear about your recent delivery experience; this certainly doesn't reflect the high standards we aim to uphold at John Lewis.

It is very disappointing to learn that our delivery team refused to remove the packaging and that your newly painted stairs were marked when they pushed your item instead of lifting it. I completely understand your frustration regarding the conflicting advice you received about the recycling service, especially after you had called ahead to advise of the stairs.

Your feedback will be shared with our delivery management team to ensure this is addressed. ^Steph
