Ordering from John Lewis - frustratingly poor service

There are too many 'keyboard warriors' on these forums making petty, uncalled for comments when someone makes a valid point.
Although I have been impressed by the service provided by J L, I can understand the frustration and annoyance which must have been felt by the OP.
Hope that everything is resolved satisfactorily.0 -

Boy oh boy you are full of helpful comments.
Op JL like most other large suppliers now rely on computer systems which can go wrong. I personally think JLs service standards started to slip when they introduced their call centres, instead of being able to contact a branch direct.
Funny what you say about not being able to understand them , during my last dealing with the call centre I asked to be put through to their warehouse and the this caused some confusion, eventually I found out that they are now called distribution hubs!
Don't be put off by this one experience, JL still offer good products and I have always been happy with their after sales service.0 -
The last time I ordered anything from John Lewis was 2011, so is this typical for everything across the board or only white goods/kitchen gear?0

Just a wee update, John Lewis have accepted their errors, apologised and offered £100 compensation, so we're content that's fair.0

Bad service seems to be everywhere now.
Glad you got some satisfaction in the end OP.0 -
