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

Returning Items

I was having to return an item that unfortunately, didn’t fit. The staff in the store I visited are always friendly, greet you with a huge smile and nothing is too much trouble. That’s an enormous benefit to shopping in all JL and Waitrose stores.
My return was completed without issue, and I was alerted to the item having been received for processing later that day. Excellent service.

JLs Bluewater. Bought a Dyson. TY Maria

We’ve bought our vacuum cleaner from JLs for years so we obviously returned when our last one packed up.
Just as we started looking the sales assistant Maria came along to help us. She’d actually just finished her shift and was one her way home and stopped to assist us. She was so helpful and we picked up our latest Dyson.

5* Review for a 5* Company!

I have been asked to leave a review for John Lewis and it is a pleasure to oblige.
I have been shopping at John Lewis for more than 30 years, instore and online; I can sincerely say it is my favourite place to shop. It has a wonderful selection of fashion, homeware, electricals an technology (with generous guarantees) and with prices to suit everyone's budget. The staff are approachable, greet you with a smile and they are extremely helpful if you require their assistance and its Customer Service is excellent. As a bonus, it rewards its customers for their loyalty with the John Lewis Rewards' Membership Card offering discount vouchers, freebie samples, competitions and free hot drinks and cake vouchers! What's not to like? Thank you John Lewis. JGx

Fast delivery, convenient collection

I ordered the bag on Friday evening and it was ready to pick up at my local Waitrose on the Sunday afternoon. Finding it on the site was easy, while the price was better than anywhere else I’d seen it. I couldn’t really ask for anything more.

Very poor service

Very poor service
We ordered two cushions and had to order them separately and pay two delivery charges, which is ridiculous.
Only after ordering twice and paying twice, did I later get an email saying that they were unable to fulfill the order.
This was despite there showing stock online during the ordering process.
The single item ordering and repeat postage costs, followed by cancellation is just disappointing from a higher brand store.
I would probably never order online again.

Reply from John Lewis

Hi David, I'm really sorry to hear about the issues you have had with your orders. We have implemented a system where a customer can order an item directly from the store if it's not available online. If the two cushions where supposed to be sent from separate stores there would be 2 delivery charges. I can't apologise enough for the issues with stock. It appears we had a mismatch in reported stock to the site, and we will use this feedback to make improvements to this service, ^Jamie

Placed an order for 3 items

Placed an order for 3 items, after sometime just received an email informing me of a refund.
No explanation, no asking if I would like a refund, awful service terrible.

Hello Simon, thank you for reaching out to us. I am very sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered with your order. At John Lewis, we always aim to offer the highest quality of service, and I sincerely regret that we failed to meet your expectations this time. This can happen when items become lost, damaged or out of stock. Rest assured, I will have this investigated internally to ensure it does not occur again. ^Emaan

Great service

The item I wanted was out of stock so set up a notification to let me know when it was available, I received a notification and purchase the item straight away and it arrived two days later. Great service and competitive prices.

Dear John Lewis

Dear John Lewis, your customer experience team really surpassed themselves. Having discovered, after a lapse of three months (my fault), that only part of a delivery had taken place, the team jumped to it and within a week the missing part had been delivered and installed. I could not have asked for more. My thanks to Paul who made all this happen. Gold stars all round.
