The worst customer service I've ever experienced, they cancelled my delivery on the morning it was due but never sent me a email or txt,when I called customer service the could not give me an answer and told me to go back to the store, At the store the manager was rude and told me he couldn't help and to call customer service, After three hours of frustration I finally got a answer to why and when my delivery was cancelled, All the staff in the Tottenham Court Road store were being sarcastic and not willing to help.Never going to order anything fro. Currys again.

I bought a ring bell and paid £50 for installation.I was told I would be contacted in regards to when it can be installed. After 15 days of no contact I tried to get in contact with Curry’s I phoned 3 different numbers , I was transferred 6 times , I was left waiting , , I was disconnected, I had all my documents and details of purchase, . The most unbelievable un professional works. I have always bought products from Curry’s never ever again.

So stressed 😫

They’re getting one star because it’s the minimum I can give but I’d never shop there again! After paying £200 for a Nintendo switch for my daughter as a Christmas present it started giving lots of problems in February. It literally couldn’t come if the charger or the battery would die straightaway. I Contacted currys for a replacement only to be told I have to get it repaired by Nintendo. I’m not happy because I have been down this manufacturer repair route before with other products and 3-6 months later I’m in the same boat again with another repair for the same product that was already repaired previously. The game console obviously came to me faulty but according to Currys it needs to have shown fault within 30 days in order to get a replacement. I’m angry because for a game console so expensive it should be able to be replaced for as long as 3 months.

25 days later and still no refund, all overseas help desks with no power to resolve, just escalate to a team that swears they'll call back and never do. Seeking advice from the ombudsman.

I made Bitcoin payments from a tbay wallet to a block chain wallet and for 7 days it didn't drop after showing success. I tried to see if I could reverse or make it drop but nothing. Thank you 'RECOVERCOIN at RESCUETEAM dot COM' for tracing and getting back my coin. you guys are the best.

Disgustingly poor experience. Ordered a washing machine in advance of my newborn arriving and told 10-21 days for delivery. Called them after 21 days and they can't find the order despite having an order number and email confirmation. Escalated, complained and 5 calls later no response or call back. They even suggested on one call to cancel the order and reorder at the current higher price!? I've checked and it's in stock ready for delivery this week but at £150 more than when I ordered it. We have a 2 week old baby with no washing machine!? They can't honour the original deals so are cancelling orders left right and centre. Just check @currys on twitter - tonnes of complaints. They are taking orders at lower prices and then cancelling them. This is fraud. I order things from Currys on behalf of clients and we have spent £1000s with them. All orders have been cancelled and we're taking business elsewhere.

They do not even deserve one star. My laptop was sent off for a simple fault only for it to return not repaired and scuffed like it had been thrown on the floor. It was then sent off again to be fully repaired and to be sent to my university. The adress change was confirmed on three speperate ocassions for it still to be sent to the wrong place and supposedly there was nothing they could do about it.

Worst customer service team for such a large company. Customer advisers do not log information on the system correctly. They fail to call back when they say they will. Avoid at all costs

We purchased a kettle 36 days ago and the inside filter has fallen out. We can't get it to go back in. I asked what we could do and was told that they would send a repair man to our house to try to repair it. I send that is not good use of resources for a £20 kettle. The agent then agreed and arranged a replacement. I asked what the process was and was told that we take our kettle back and when it is received in their warehouse the replacement will be sent out, so we then have to return to the tore to pick the new one up. How overly bureaucratic and environmentally poor. I will make purchases from Argos or other suppliers in future. Shame on you Currys.

Non existent customer service. Faulty cooker delivered and due to some very tight time constraints, (long story)I went and brought a replacement so that my electrician could wire it in and get us going straight away. I thought, no problem I'll sort the return & refund tomorrow. Several places on their website & their T&C's said I could return to a store. As I had literally nowhere to store this item while awaiting a lengthy collection process, I put in in the car and took it to my local store. The manager was really unhelpful said I couldn't return to store. So I left it with them anyway as I couldn't take it back. Then the lengthy saga of trying to contact customer service to explain where it was and for it to be uplifted. Their email address is no longer in service. The phone service after a lengthy wait said they couldn't help, neither could the online chat service. No one there will give you an email address to put your complaint in writing. They were happy to take my money and all is probably OK if you don't run into any problems. So the faulty cooker is now in your Stratford upon Avon store awaiting Currys to process my refund, which I've been told I won't get. So all I have left is a letter before action followed by a Small Claims through the court system. I have used Currys many, many times before and never have has such poor service.

On 18 December 2022 I ordered an integrated fridge freezer, with delivery and installation arranged for 20 December 2022. On the day the installer found the fridge was too deep for him to fit and said he often had issues with the specific manufacturer (Samsung). Rather than leave me without a fridge freezer over Christmas as the old one was broken, he left it (with instructions how to turn on in a few hours) and assured me I would be able to order a replacement in due course. Despite his assurances I also called customer services (0344561000 - 14 minutes) at 13:30 GMT, I made it clear what I had been told by the installer, and that the fridge would be used in the interim, and it was confirmed to me that I would subsequently be able to exchange the item for one that would fit. The next day I again called customer services (03445611234 - 24 minutes) at 11:32 to re-confirm the situation and was assured an exchange would be fine. At no point in these conversations was there any mention of the bizarre and frankly baffling policy of replacements needing to be within a 10 per cent price threshold of the original item, although in my case, as it panned out, that was the least of my concerns. Having researched potential alternatives I called again on 29 December 2022 (03445611234 - 43 minutes) at 12:54 explaining I needed to exchange. I was informed that the replacement product I had chosen was outside the 10 percent price threshold for exchanges. This made no sense to me, I tried another product and was told the same thing. I then said I wanted a refund and when it became apparent I had used the fridge freezer (as instructed by the delivery team), I was told it would not be eligible for exchange or refund, effectively leaving me with a £650.00 fridge which didn’t fit my kitchen. As you can imagine this was a highly stressful development considering I had acted on the instructions of Currys employees throughout. I tried to explain my position during this and two subsequent calls (13:48 – 44 minutes 14:32 – 45 minutes) and was met with a complete lack of empathy and no attempt whatsoever to do anything other than get me off the phone. The various operators I spoke to were terse and unwilling to discuss anything outside the ‘process’ despite my situation being wholly the result of actions and advice of Currys. Finally I demanded the installation fee be refunded and was offered that an ‘engineer’ could be booked in to remedy the situation. I accepted this and the visit was booked for 31 Dec 2022 between 12:20 and 16:20. On the 31 December 2022 at approximately 13:00 I tracked the status of the visit online and found the job had been marked as complete at 12:14! This obviously had not occurred. I called at 13:01 to explain this but was placed on hold and then cut off. I called again at 13:06 (50 minutes) and having been put on hold by one operator, only to be picked up by another and starting again was eventually told that despite the job being marked as complete, I would receive a visit on the day. I believe this was a lie designed purely to get me off the phone. No visit occurred that day. Being forced to deal with the situation myself I subsequently fitted the fridge/freezer successfully which means the whole situation could have been avoided with a bit of effort (and less terrible advice) from the original installation team, who I foolishly gave a £10 tip, thinking I had been given a good service. on 3 Jan I recounted my experience to the online chat and twitter DM simultaneously and managed to get the installation fee refunded. I also claimed a price match as the fridge was cheaper at AO.com. Neither of these payments can be considered as compensation. An email sent to the Chief Executive, also on 3 Jan, detailing my experience has not been replyed to. This experience, over the festive period and while suffering from Flu, was highly stressful and took up many hours, and I cannot see a situation where I will use Currys again. It is, in fact, more likely I will go out of my way to inform people of the risks involved of making a major purchase when any problems are ‘dealt with’ by a disinterested call centre based overseas.

I purchased an Xbox and an additional controller on Currys website on Black Friday, happy that I could get a good deal. It was supposed to be my son's Christmas present. I received confirmation of the order and an order number. A few days later, when I didn't receive any information regarding delivery time, etc. I contacted them. The guy on the online chat said that the order had been cancelled for some unknown reason, possibly having no stock available. I visited their branch in York; the customer service lady could not find my order on the system. She rang their central customer service office, and after a while, she accepted their solution of a refund, without even checking with me!! I didn't want a refund, I wanted my item. She said there was no other alternative and that the refund will be processed in 3-5 business days, indicating that it will most probably take more than 5 business days. She also said that I could complain to their customer service, but she was certain I would get nowhere with my complaint. A refund means that I will have to pay £80 extra to buy the same items elsewhere. This is not the end of the story; nearly a month has passed and I have not even received my refund!!! This ruined our son's Christmas and made me so furious and upset. Currys is a horrible company. I'm addressing Currys: If you don't have stock, why do you take people's money and hold onto it? Is this anything other than charlatanry and fraud? Do you think it's fair to suck up people's little money in the current economic climate with these horrible methods? PLEASE AVOID CURRYS!! Even if you see a good deal, don't trust them and be deceived. I haven't got my money back yet and they don't give a damn about it.

I bought a laptop at the Brighton store that was in fact, used by someone else before as it had the previous user's details still stored on it including their passwords and bank card details. When I took it back to the store and showed it to them, a staff member in the store suggested that this laptop may have been bought online, returned as unused and no one checked it. Utterly unprofessional for such a large retailer to have such low standards of service.

Awful customer service. What happened to Currys - in the last few years they have gone downhill. No staff on the shop floor and the ones that are there are useless, rude and dont have a clue. Bought a vacuum, had it delivered, it was broken. Went into Currys in Hayes and the customer service rep was uninterested and verging on the edge of rude. Said Currys would email me with a pickup date and confirmation of replacement - this email was meant to be the following Monday. By Wednesday no email received - went back into the shop, the lady on the customer service counter rang through to the customer service group, again they promised an email next day with pickup and delivery details. This email did not get sent. Waited 5 days, rang customer services - option 2- the person on the phone had no idea who to contact, kept saying she didn't know and couldn't help - all she kept saying was it will get sorted next year. This has been going on now for nearly a month and not one single person has been helpful or exhibited any kind of customer service. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM CURRYS - they take your money and do not follow through, Now we are left without a vacuum and not idea when this will be resolved.
