Consumer Champions Which?

Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial

I've had various problems with John Lewis in the past, including with their so-called "customer service" department, once with a fridge-freezer and once with a dishwasher.


Can't bring myself to recount it all again, but it was extremely frustrating each time.


I would still use them in preference to places like Comet, but they definitely lost their special place in my heart :))


(And actually what's driving me bloody mad now is that just because I've been on their website, now when I go onto completely unconnected websites I get John Lewis adverts showing stuff I've been looking at online, and I can't find a way to get rid of them (6)


Richer Sounds deserved to be top. Lakeland customer service is excellent, but going round one of their stores is like descending into the seventh circle of hell, especially if you have the misfortune to be in Bromley.

Sue, you've been flagged in what's called a 'behavioural retargeting' campaign.


Basically what happened was that your visit to the JL site dropped a 'cookie' (a small bit of code) into your web browser as a record of that visit.


When you visit another site, the site 'interrogates' your store of cookies as it uploads the page, and notes that the JL one is there and serves you the appropriate ad.


You can get rid of this by going to your tools or options menu and select something like 'clear history' which will give you the option of deleting cookies.


However, do note that this will also cause your browser to 'forget' all the other sites and passwords too - so it means you'll need to log in to things like the EDF again.


BTW, without the ads, you wouldn't have the sites, they're what pays for them - so it pays to be a bit more understanding ;-)

Thanks Huguenot.


Couldn't do it yesterday anyway as spilled tea over my laptop when surprised by the doorbell and had to let it dry out - how lucky is that that it still (at the moment anyway!) appears to be working :)


So - Goodbye John Lewis cookie ......


ETA: Done it, thanks, that was easy (and useful to know for the future).

Got a no-quibble refund on my undelivered washer dryer, and rightly so. At the time I also told them I had paid for removal of old appliance and connection of the new one but on checking my statement I noticed they had failed to refund these. Cue ANOTHER phone call to them to get this sorted. I've had no problems in the actual shops, just their delivery...grrr...

I had a similar problem with my fridge freezer.


I had paid extra to have the doors reversed when it was delivered. When it arrived, the men said they weren't down to reverse the doors and that it should have been done in the factory.


They said that I could do it myself but that I would have to lie the fridge freezer on its back to do so. Apart from the fact that no way could I do that myself, as it's quite large and bigger than me, it has components on the back which could be damaged, apart from other possible issues.


I phoned John Lewis who said no, they didn't reverse the doors in the factory and that yes, this should have been done on delivery, but they refused to send someone else out to do it. I too noticed that there was no refund until I chased them.


That was around six years ago - doors still opening the "wrong" way for the position of the freezer in the kitchen :-S

Similarly, during the course of the numerous phone calls regarding the delivery of the washer dryer I had some customer service reps telling me that

- it would be delivered directly from the manufacturer and they (the delivery guys from the manufacturer) would install/remove appliances,

- whereas others said for installation and removal the appliance would need to be sent from the manufacturer to JL, who would then carrier out the extra service.


In some ways, I'm glad it all went wrong with JL, as I was rapidly losing confidence in what they were saying.


I managed to order the same washer dryer from another company on Thurs, which could have been delivered and installed the following day (I chose to have it delivered at the weekend free of charge) and it also came with a 5y manufacturer guarantee. Now, that's more like it!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
