Hugely disappointed!

Hugely disappointed!
I have chosen m&s for the quality to discover that what they sell does not meet the standards. I cannot simply go and complain in the shop (Ayr food shop), as this requires driving and wasting my time and petrol.
On Saturday I bought 3 packs of Perfectly Ripe Hass Avocado. I did not have a problem with this product before.
Firstly, they were not ripe at all!!! Secondly, they have been already getting off!!! Typical brown colour and horrible taste!!! I paid a lot of money for the product that will end up in the rubbish bin. Additionally, I do not trust M&S anymore...feel cheated. They should not sell the product at the M&S standards and price if it does not meet the highest standards

Poor quality roses

Received a delivery of roses Saturday and the quality was poor. Some already floppy and dead leaves. Rang to complain and they sent another today, Monday. Similar today with tired looking ones and some slightly floppy. Very disappointed.

Treated as if you're a thief.

Just like to say about the speke store my son and myself go here a lot spend a lot of money in this shop.
On going to the self service I was transferring money onto my card I had put all my items through we were constantly being stared at by the women manning the self service tills I and my son felt uncomfortable in that she was treating us like thieves.
I have often feel like this in this shop so in future don't make people feel uncomfortable for no reason.. I am often in here with my little grandaughter aswell lot of older staff unfriendly.. younger ones are lovely.
Security guard at present follows you around the shop its not nice.
Also the dates on the items in speke store are constantly poor and quite frankly food isn't always the standard you expect.

Roses were tatty

Roses, yellow pink and white. Half didn't open and pink and white were tatty. Think they must have been kept somewhere rather than being delivered. Very disappointed m&s.

They don't like giving you a refund

They don't like giving you a refund, do they? 😳

115.99 + 66 £ worth of returns, all because their sizings are rubbish.
Purchased seven items of the same size, all Marks & Spencer's own brand, in the end I sent back five back items because they was either too big or too small

So, the next qualm is they DO NOT like to give you your refund
When I shop and if I send something back,
and once they receive the item elsewhere I'll get a confirmation of the return, a refund, is usually done immediately, but Marks & Spencer's take too long to do a refund. I've already waited three days, now it's the weekend, then it's gonna be Monday before they even get to it, but they may not even do it them, so, it's gonna be over seven days of them having my return before they even start to do my refund. I think this is unacceptable. Why should you have my money for a week longer than you need it? Your refund process is taking too long, and I wont be shopping with you again, guaranteed. I can't let you have 180 quid of my money for so long, when you have your stuff back for ages
Your refund process is pants!
Hurry up and do the right thing by your customers, coz you're getting interest on my money when it should be me!

Thank
you.

Poor online ordering system

Why can’t M and S provide an accurate and timely service on line
I’ve lost count of the number of times I have been notified days after placing an order that it is no longer available.
They take money immediately and then you are expected to wait for a refund.
A really poor way for a company of this size to manage their on line ordering.
Sadly this is the level of service now expected from them

Ordered a collection for Saturday 11th…

Ordered a collection for Saturday 11th and now it's 13th and order is still "on it's way to the store".
Absolutely horrible.
If CS from M&S ever reads and decides to help, order number 306-0063972-6106918

Awful customer care

Awful customer care. They call DPD their “trusted” partner. What a complete joke. DPD try to deliver furniture I ordered to a completely wrong street and postcode… then it’s absolutely impossible to get hold of anybody at DPD. I don’t think they’re actually any humans that work there….. on line chat sends you round in circles. M&S customer service equally as rubbish, said they couldn’t look into individual mistakes. This is probably the worst customer care I’ve ever come across in my life from a reputable company such as M&S. They really should be ashamed. Had to cancel order for an item I really loved ….. now I have to wait for a refund when they get their piece of furniture back. What a damn cheek! I’ve wrote to the chairman‘s office. Let’s see if they bother getting back to me.

Always a moral dilemma with M&S flowers

I dread seeing a flower box from M&S. You know you're going to get a far from perfect bunch of flowers or a plant but it can be difficult to inform the sender of issues, easier to thank them for their kindness. And if all flower delivery companies know this, none take advantage of the recipient's dilemma in the way M&S does. Shame on you.

This time an Easter bouquet of tulips and hyacinth, delivered on Thursday. Two of the tulips arrived beheaded (a common occurrence). The stems were unusually short and I didn't have a vase short enough with a neck wide enough to accommodate the width of the hyacinth stems so had to split. Just as well, as the tulips were past their best by Saturday anyway. The Hyancinths have mostly opened and the flowers look good but the tips of the leaves have blackened. I presume they didn't like being in water, but as both the leaves and flowers grow from very low on the stems on hyacinths, it is unavoidable.

Cribbs Bristol - horrible employers

Cribbs causeway Bristol treated my relation who worked there, aged 17, like rubbish. Sacked her for being sick when she had a nasty virus caught from hospital which was appealed for on the back of legal advice. A few weeks before, they sent a memo indicating they were over staffed. She was almost at the end of probation with no concerns of her work ethic to this point. Such a coincidence, plus other staff having more sick than this were fine. The managers were vile in the appeal meeting. Its put me off shopping here due to what is behind the scenes. She didn't get her job back but I feel she had a lucky escape. The male manager 'B', she had appeared to enjoy the power he had over a young person and I hope he read's this and reflects on practice going forward. Good managers dont need to be bullies or puppets.

Received bouquet of roses from a family member, order arrived on time but the roses were not fresh some wilted beyond saving! Their flowers used to be very fresh so we will think twice before ordering from M&S again ( North London ).

Price hikes and sneaky staff - M&S Holmbush is no longer my go-to store for protein products

M&S had become my go-to store for eggs and turkey breast fillets. Apart from fish, they were my main source of protein, and I continued to buy the turkey despite a series of price hikes and down-sizing to 380 grammes, This afternoon, however, there was no price label and the fillets had been shelved with other turkey products. My receipt showed they'd gone up form £5.50 to £6.30 per 380g pack. I requested a refund within minutes and before leaving the store, only to discover later that I'd been issued a credit voucher instead of a refund. M&S need to place the correct price labels next to their products, especially when prices increase; staff need to inform customers when they do something different from what was requested; and managers need to understand the inconvenience to customers of making several visits to a store to redeem a voucher when they are no longer spending on high-value items and when they were justified in requesting a refund.

Be very wary of ordering flowers from M and S

I ordered flowers in good time for a friend’s 65th birthday. At 2am on morning of her birthday I got a message telling me the flowers were out of stock and I would get my money back in 3 to 5 days. It was clear from the gift message I added to order it was for a 65th birthday. I phoned customer service who admitted it was very poor service and my complaint would be escalated. Heard nothing back. The person on phone said ‘have a good day’ at the end of the call which I told her I would not, having been so badly let down. Be very wary of ordering flowers from M and S especially if for a special occasion.

Marks & Spencers felt slippers …

Marks & Spencers felt slippers are shedding from first wear, .constantly hoovering, they look scruffy. Very comfortable but the hoover doesn't pick all the fluff so having to get on my knees and scrape it up. They make a complete mess. I can take photos

What has happened to Marks and Spencer?

What has happened to Marks and Spencer?
Bought tee shirts and bras online spent alot of money thinking its from M and S their should be no problems. How wrong could I be. The clothing arrived, I couldnt believe it, it looked like the clothes had be dragged of the rack screwed up in a ball and thrown in the bag. Ive seen better presented goods from a charity shop. I spoke to customer services, the responses I got were l blunt and consise and appeared to be read from a script. Not very helpful at all. The customer services rep left me on hold several times whilst conversing with a manager. The final outcome was a take it or leave it offer of an E voucher, for a fraction of what we spent, for M and S so who wins there. Dont buy from them, they come across since the hacking incident, as money grabbers, the customers are not the main consideration any more. Recouping their losses are.
