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

Hi Susan, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm so sorry part of your order was cancelled and I completely understand the disappointment caused. Unfortunately the supplier cancelled the suitcase due to it being out of stock, I apologise if this wasn't explained in the email. Thank you. ^Tnaya

Just not special anymore.

John Lewis staff/members used to be a joy, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately not the case now. I couldn’t find anyone to help me with a George Jenson frame so had to wait at the checkout to ask. A member of staff was called for and met me at the department. The item I wanted, a gift, was the last one and on display. The staff member then produced the box for the item and handed the empty box to me. I expected her to place the frame in the box so that it was fit for sale but no, apparently that’s down to the customer. Between that and the outsourcing of the customer service to another country, John Lewis just isn’t special anymore. Sad.

Hi Mary, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm ever so sorry to hear about your recent visit, and I completely understand how disappointing this must've been, especially when choosing a gift. This certainly isn't the experience or level of service we want for our customers. We'd love to look into this for you, so please send an email to tell.us.more@johnlewis.co.uk with a copy of your review, the store location, and the date and time of your visit so we can pass this directly to the store management team. Thank you ^Tnaya

Good Customer Service

I found some lovely curtains in the sale.
The assistant in the Glasgow store was so helpful helping me locate them and choose the right size drop and width. I’ve always loved John Lewis but this kind of attention to service really stands out.

Finally, a towelling bath robe

Finally found what was wanted...a proper towelling bath robe. Ordering was easy, delivery was swift, robe gratefully received. Then found it was replacing a JL robe bought several years ago. Brilliant.

Worse than COVID!

Seek medical advice? How dare you! You are attempting to divert from the toxic nature of your mattresses.
I have had asthma since childhood, it is mild and well managed, as I wrote! I have daily medication for it, which is of the lowest potency as my asthma is mild, and an emergency medication (Bricanyl)
The Simba mattress is so toxic I had to use the Bricanyl once each night for a week!
Worse than COVID!
In the literature that comes with the Simba mattress I bought online from John Lewis it says there may be a 'slight smell' which is 'completely normal and will dissipate over 24 hours'
John Lewis claim the 'slight smell' is safe. None of that is true.
The fumes (outgassing) from my new Simba mattress are extremely toxic. Each night (10 so far) since it arrived I have woken having to use my emergency asthma medication; that only happened one night when I had serious COVID in 2021.
My peak flow (measure of lung power) was down to 200 each morning for the first week and is still only 250 after ten days; it is normally 350-375 and only got as low as 250 when I had COVID!
In an email from John Lewis admitted that "The smell is typically most noticeable when the mattress is first unpacked and, in most cases will reduce significantly within a few days"
That is not true either! It is now ten days and it still stinks and is still making my asthma worse.
My asthma is mild and well managed; if it does this to me I dread to think what it could do to anyone with severe asthma or COPD

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us another review regarding your Simba mattress. I'm so sorry you've been experiencing some health difficulties and we'd recommend seeking medical advice if your condition has worsened. I can see on your case that we offered a replacement but you have declined this offer. If you do change your mind, please give our furniture aftercare team a call on 0345 600 2389 or reply to our last email. Thank you. ^Tnaya

Cancelled Delivery

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience purchasing a Bosch fridge freezer from John Lewis. I selected my delivery date, and my son arranged to take the day off work to be home for it. I received the 3‑hour delivery slot the day before, and everything seemed fine.

During the scheduled delivery window, the tracking link suddenly showed “there has been a problem” with no explanation. Shortly after, it updated again to say the delivery had been cancelled with absolutely no communication from John Lewis. No text message, no call, no email, nothing.

When I phoned customer services, the adviser had no explanation at all. She couldn’t give me a single reason for the cancelled delivery and simply speculated about possible causes, which was even more frustrating. The earliest re-delivery date she could offer was a week later, which is completely unacceptable given the circumstances.

To make matters worse, she told me I’d have to contact them after delivery to request a goodwill gesture, which feels like John Lewis pushing the burden back onto the customer rather than taking responsibility.

Overall, this has been a very poor experience with a lack of communication, explanation, and no urgency or support. Not what I expected from John Lewis at all, having been a loyal customer for many decades.

Hello HA,

Thank you for contacting us and sharing your recent experience regarding the delivery of your Bosch fridge freezer. As a loyal customer for many decades, your feedback is incredibly important to us, and I am sincerely sorry that we have let you down so significantly on this occasion. I will ensure this is investigated internally to identify where things went wrong and to ensure we learn from this experience to prevent it from happening in the future. ^Emaan

There are very few cashiers and you…

There are very few cashiers and you have to go traipsing around the store looking for them. Also the toilets on 2 of the floors have been out of order for several weeks now and again you have to go wandering from floor to floor looking for a toilet. They haven’t even put a notice on the doors to say which toilets are working. All this takes up valuable time and is actually putting me off going to the shop in the future.

Hi Susan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry to hear about your recent visit to our shop; this is certainly not the convenient or pleasant experience we want our customers to have.

It is incredibly disappointing to learn that you had difficulty locating our cashiers, and I completely understand your frustration regarding the out-of-order toilets across multiple floors. Not having clear signage in place to guide you is a clear oversight on our part, and I appreciate how much valuable time this wasted.

I hope you were able to raise this with management during your visit, so they could look into this and address this for you straight away. ^Steph
