Awful customer service

I've just been trying to speak to someone regarding an order I want to place. You can no longer speak to anyone at your local store you have to go through a call centre. After waiting 50 minutes someone answered the phone.
I wanted her to arrange collection for three wall lights. There was only one available on line but the stores had plenty in stock. She just said no it couldn't be done. They only deal with online orders. What happens now if you buy something from the store and you can't get back to that store to rectify any problem if they only deal with online orders. No customer service at all. I never thought I'd say I would not shop with John Lewis again.

Hi Carol, thanks for taking the time to share your review, although I was very sorry to learn of your disappointing experience whilst speaking with one of our Customer Service Advisors, please accept our sincere apologies.

Stock levels in our shops can change very quickly and if you are able to travel to a shop which is showing stock, you may be able to reserve and then collect the items from the store. You can do so by firstly completing the attached form our website, which I have shared for you here - https://www.johnlewis.com/customer-services/email-us?source=contact-us+%7C+productStockInformation+%7C+productStockInformationCheckInStore&t=productAndStockInformation-storeStockAvailability This will then raise an enquiry for our Customer Service Team, who will check see if there is stock of the items in your local store for you, and will let you know if they do, before you travel. Unfortunately however, we cannot transfer stock between shops. ^Angela

I have been messed around by customer service JOHN LEWIS

I have been messed around by the customer service team Catrina is the person in Charge
In all good faith I purchased a Jura sofa from John Lewis waited a long time for it to be ready only to be told the furniture firm gone into liquidation so I explained I have mobile issues as well as other upsetting illness with many HOSP appointments.
I have shopped for 40 yrs with John Lewis bought all my furniture from them plus other items for the house
So I had to trek to Peter jones as the sales man said nicer helpful people more choice so I got taxi there & back & found a Jura sofa paid £1,000 for it & was relieved finale I had some nice to sit my old sofa was finished
So I went along with their brochure to have a co they recommend called clear a bee who came weeks later two men who wrecked my walls in hallway other owners share hall they were not interested in listening cut it up to take it out which I arranged with girl at cleareabee I complained as I just had the walls painted weeks before it took me approx 6 weeks of ringing complaining no response
So rude & irresponsible
A man came to paint he was only given 2 pics I had sent at least 5 so he only wanted to paint 2 I phoned the office when he was there the guy in charge was not wanting to speak to me !! I had 2walls painted the others not good
The new sofa arrived the guys from JL were horrified at the mess these others made they took photos
My sofa arrived it had a bad smell unwrapped of smoke , and the 2 cushions ( 3 seater ) were odd & did not fit properly so they had a man come in he said he could smell nothing & then reported said he.could but he did not lie down on it as the top end where head lies stunk !
So new cushions arrived still part in middle I was sliding down into this customer lady who is suppose to be helping she is making it as hard as possible for me and all I want is to be comfortable as I must take rest most days
So now she wants to send same people along again ! What for they work for their company JL pay them it’s a scam , fancy JL a huge company goes to these sorts of carry on for such a small amount how petty is this if they knew what she was up too I am sure I could get proper help but she says the line stops with her I do not believe her ! If her shareholders knew this story I think they would be happy to help me & if her superior above her knows then that’s even worse !
The lovely old fashioned but modern JL was so fabulous best shop in uk not now gone down hill plenty of sofas go big now with others but I have always been happy & loyal but JL it seems has lost their values of loyalty to their faithful customers .
So now she offers me some money , but this representative of JL does not UNDERSTAND I want my comfort I paid £1,000 for ? I want to sit on my sofa read a book & feel comfortable
So last nite I see they have a sale my sofa £475 sale a little bit larger than mine only 10 inches but it might make a difference to the comfort of sitting on it ! I said let us just call it a day let me have this Jura same colour excellent, it will fit I sent her all measurements perfect
NO SHE REFUSED.
No reason except for WE HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG IN YOUR EXISTING ONE!
Then WHY have you obliged me & heard what your furniture man has seen & HAD NEW CUSHIONS MADE ???
She is not telling the facts & saying misinformation.
This is pathetic she could take back this one sell it as showroom as I saw others in Peter jones being sold all I am asking for is a swap !
NO TUNNEL VISONED DOES NOT WANT TO HELP
JOHN LEWIS PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY DOES THIS PERSON CAUSE ALL THIS DELAY & NONSENSE & LOOK UPON ME AS THE PROBLEM? She takes NO RESPONSIBILITY FOF HER ACTONS & SHE REPRESENTS YOUR COMPANY LOOK I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HER SHE IS PROBABLY A VERY NICE WOMEN
BUT SERIOUSLY DHE IS MAKKNG MY LIFE AWFUL 😞 I AM NOT WELL & ALL I WANT IS THE BE LEFT ALONE TO ENJOY TGE COMFORT OF MY HOME
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME

Hello Nicole, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear about the incredibly difficult and frustrating experience you've had, especially given your long-standing loyalty and health challenges. This is certainly not the standard of service or product quality we aim to provide. I understand your distress regarding the sofa's condition, the issues with the delivery and removal services, and the subsequent handling of your concerns. We are committed to ensuring our customers are comfortable and satisfied. To allow me to look into this in further detail, could you please email tell.us.more@johnlewis.co.uk with a copy of your review, your full name, billing address including postcode along with any reference numbers you have. Many thanks. ^Danielle

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us Leela. We continue to review our staffing levels across all our shop floors in an attempt to meet our ever-changing flow of customers.

Regarding Click & Collect, while orders over £30 remain free of charge, we apply a small £2.50 fee for orders under £30 to help cover the transport and processing costs of delivering individual items safely to your chosen shop. ^Kayleigh

Absolutely awful experience from start…

Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. I purchased a Samsung American Fridge Freezer for £3099 I was in the shop an hour trying to order it. Then I had a phone call from the JL arranging a delivery, removal and recycle of my old one. She couldn’t find my receipt details on the system, so I had to email proof to her and then to top it off the delivery men scratched my
resin floor today. I am so annoyed.

Hi Ms Drew, thanks for your review. It's disappointing to hear there's been issues with your order of the Samsung American fridge freezer, and it's concerning to hear your floor was damaged on receipt of your appliance. Please accept my apologies for this. To allow me to raise with our delivery team, please email from the email address linked with your order, with your order number, billing name, address and postcode to us at: tell.us.more@johnlewis.co.uk, with a brief description of the issue and attaching your Trustpilot review. ^Gina

Made to measure curtains

Very good experience ordering new made to measure curtains. I went into the Cambridge Store and spent some time talking to a partner who was very thorough and double checked that all my measurements were correct and gave me a follow up email address to change and check everything before final order. The curtains arrived last week, and are perfect, well made and perfect sizing.

I SPENT £700.00 ON A HEMP 2500 COMFORT…

I SPENT £700.00 ON A HEMP 2500 COMFORT FIRM MATTRESS, WITH A 7-10 YEAR WARRANTY. THE MATTRESS WAS USELESS AFTER THE 4-5 YEAR PERIOD, AFTER WHICH I CONTACTED JOHN LEWIS CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD SEND A MATTRESS INSPECTOR TO MY HOME. AFTER I GET THE REPORT THEY STATE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BED, AND THERES A STAIN ON THE MATTRESS, SO I WONT BE COVERED. L.L. WRITES TO ME WITH THE REPORT AND SAID CASE CLOSED, I SAID IT ISNT UNTIL I GET MY OWN INSPECTION CARRIED OUT, J.L. SAID IT WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAD MY PRIVATE INSPECTION CARRIED OUT, AND IT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO J.L.'s FABRICATION. ALL FOR SIDES OF MY BAD HAD NO SUPPORT, THE WALL WAS COLLAPSED, THERE WERE DIPS ALL OVER THE BED WHICH WERE MEASURED AND RECORDED, I SENT IT TO THEM AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED, SO A TRUTHFUL REVIEW IS MY ONLY WEAPON AGAINST JOHN LEWIS. THIS IS PART OF MY REPORT, TUFTED AND ALL TUFTS ARE SECURE AND IN PLACE AND THE SIDE WALLS OF THE MATTRESS ARE NOT FULLY SUPPORTIVE. THE MATTRESS HAS FAILED THE PRESSURE TEST AND IS NOT SUPPORTIVE.J.L. INSPECTOR IS PART OF J.L. PARTNERSHIP, THEY SAID NO FAULTS.

Hey, thank you for getting back to us and for sharing the details from your independent mattress inspection.

I would like to gently clarify one point regarding our initial assessment: John Lewis uses an independent, third-party inspection service, specifically to ensure that all assessments remain completely impartial and unbiased.

That said, I hear your concerns. Given that your private report highlights specific structural issues, such as side wall collapse, pressure failure, and measured dipping, we want to ensure this conflicting evidence is properly re-evaluated alongside the initial report.

Our specialized Furniture Aftercare Team is best equipped to handle mattress structural claims and technical inspection reports. Please kindly get in touch with them on 0345 600 2389, as they'll be happy to look into this further for you. ^Kayleigh

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.
