“Do not order from Debenhams. I placed an order in mid December and still haven't received my order over a month later even though my money has been taken.
I have tried to contact customer services by email multiple times, but 2 weeks on, no one has responded.
You can't ring as the phone lines are closed.
I would avoid ordering from Debenhams at all costs because they will take your money but don't provide the goods and don't respond to queries.
This is not only a breach under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, it is theft. I appreciate they are closing down, which I was sad about, but Debenhams should not be trading if they are not able to provide the services people are paying for. That is theft.”
“wish I had read reviews before I order. I have ordered few things 3 weeks ago and I have just received one of them. I have emailed them but no reply yet. when I track them it says only dispatched!
all customer services lines are closed and you cannot speak with anyone to see what is happening. I am so disappointed. I don't know whether I get my order or any refund. very very very poor customer service. I was looking whole day to try to find somewhere to ask my question or track my item or even ask for refund. I could not find anything.
you do not deserve even one star!”
“Ordered something in December and I still haven't received my parcel. Very poor customer service, contact is terrible and they are not taking any action to resolve this matter. Be aware, don't order from Debenhams.”
“Beware do not order from Debenhams ordered a pair of jeans today took my money then 10 mins later advised that they were not in stock and that my refund would take 3-5 working days to be back in my account. Checked as soon as I received the email and the website still had the item in stock telling me to hurry as there is only 3 left. BEWARE”
“Debenhams Cambridge very rude girl on fragrance counter extremely rude to another colleague in front of queue of customers dumpy girl with long dark hair bout 2o no wonder the shop is going very unprofessional shocking”
“Ordered online and it thsn took a few weeks of online chats back and forth to finally be told my order was lost. Even though I'd been told it had been resent! Poor customer service. How can 2 orders just disappear?? Still awaiting refund. Do NOT order from this store. You can't speak with anyone on the phone when things go wrong as there is no customer service helpline.... Complete rubbish”
“Wish I had read reviews before ordering anything. I have ordered Christmas presents after paying for them got an email to say nothing will be delvered before Christmas. Tried to cancel straight away to be told can't as it has gone to pick and despatch NO WAY as seconds after email received. Also told not to accept delivery or to return goods which will cost me more money. Hard enough this Christmas what with pandemic but now ripped off by Debenhams wish I could give a - 10 to this company but 1 is the lowest you can give”
“Would give a minus. They state website operating a normal, they take your money but do not deliver goods. Had to contact bank to do chargeback. Appalling theives.”
“woman who overdraws her nasty lips in DIOR needs to know alot about customer service and manners , dont you dare ever snatch products of customer hands. i wouldn't even rate a star”
“Customer service rep was so bad. I recieved a faulty pair of boots in my order. A piece broke off. Worse experience I've had in so long. I got 1 reply email a day at 2am over 5 days. Yet I wrote how I was in a rush to post returns and needed replies asap. I felt like this woman was just trying to annoying me on purpose.
I will be very reluctant to but from Debenhams again. No worth the hassle.”
“Ordered perfume for over £200 from Debenhams because it came with a free Aqua di Parma gift , I could have ordered it cheaper elsewhere, item received with no free gift, contacted customer services who said they’d ran out and there was no replacement so basically tough luck, terrible customer service dept didn’t give a monkeys”
“Ordered a Dior gift set in October during promotion and despite tracking info provided, it was never delivered by Hermes. So emailed customer services and helpful advisor ordered a replacement for me. Parcel delivered promptly by Hermes, but instead of the Dior Gift Set contained only a Lancôme paper carrier bag and an invoice for the gift set for over £70!!!!! Took a picture immediately and forwarded to customer services and reply was they could not order me another replacement on their system. Have tried phoning ... they are closed. Have tried emailing for over a week .... no reply. Used online chat .... I was informed a Manager would contact me and to date nobody has. My account has not been refunded and I am absolutely disgusted and frustrated by being ignored and the incompetence and lack of customer service.”
“Ordered goods and did not receive full order. Even when proof given, debenhams refused to accept order was not fully fulfilled. Instead of taking time to look closely at the matter, they found it easier to imply customer was a liar and a thief and that customer received order in full. This was after contacting customer service on approx 30 occasions. Many emails ignored. I have been shopping in debenhams for quite some time and purchasing many items from different departments but never again as they have ripped me off, no different to theft for £42.00 in total. With all the contact I've had with them, there has been no professionalism on their part to resolve the problem in a methodical manner. No numbers for assignments checked, no follow up at all, even when given copy of delivery note specifying what was delivered along with when and what was going to be delivered by email. Both these ignored. I was sent 2 x hand towels and was suppose to receive 2 X bath towels, 2 x hand towels and 2 x face cloths. 1 x hand towel sent back as was wrong colour. No acknowledgement of returned item either. Astounding the level of incompetence given by debenhams customer service and hub for deliveries. Not even knowing what or how many things delivered but of course the customer is always wrong. I still cannot believe what has gone on. They deserve to close down from my experience.”
“The agent was not helpful,
His emails were writing with a " thats just the way it is" attitude.
I was very annoyed to find out that before my item had even been delivered the price had been reduced twice to what I had thought.
I now believe your sale pricing is very misleading and dishonest.
Your customer service agent is not at all reassuring or did he tried to help me.
I have been a loyal customer for many years.
I purchase all my work function dresses, perfume and foundation from you, sadly I'm very disappointed with the lack of customer service offered and I will be shopping else where in the future.
Plus the free mystery gift was a selection of samples you offer free in your store. This is also a very poor service”
“Ordered a new bag for my daughter's first day at highschool. Was supposed to arrive within 3 to 5 business days but did not. Email was not answered. No tracking information comes up with the link provided. Daughter is ending up with no new bag on the first day. If I had at least received a reply on time I would have arranged otherwise. This was a special moment in our lives and the joy has been taken away. And I don't even get an answer nor apology.”
“Shopping in your Gloucester town centre branch today,,,absolutely diabolical,,,4 storey building can only do returns at one point in the shop,,,,,,,,,,M and S,,,,every till.....when we eventually found it,,, 2 tills,,,only one working,,,middle aged lady deserves a medal,,,,3 others standing round yapping,,,the one lady who was working asked why the other till was closed,,she was informed that it had been cashed up,,,this was 3.15pm....one of the 3 conversationalists then had the cheek to walk along the queue of at least 8 people and apologise for the wait....Big lesson to be learnt here...IF YOU ARE NOT WORKING,STAY OUT OF SIGHT,,,,I suggest you close all your stores,,that are half empty anyway,,,and have a return centre in each town to support your online sales,,,”
“Placed an online order with Debenhams during covid-19, so I expected there may be a longer delivery than expected. Unfortunately my delivery arrived and one of the items were not as described and was charged the full price. Emailed customer services and was ignored so ended up loosing money. It’s a shame you try to support a company in the pandemic and when you do you are left to stand the loss. It’s also a shame the stores are closing down.”
