“This is my second bad experience with ernest jones. 1st one I didn't receive the order I'd placed at all so ended up cancelling. Disappointed as it was a birthday present for my husband. This time I took my watch in for repair they said it would be 4 weeks. Excessive for just a new glass face. But its now 4.5 months later and iv still not had it back. Online really unhelpfully and didn't even allologise. Never using this company again for anything!”

“Very poor Have had some lovely staff over the years. Sadly the current manageress is a rude and frankly embarrassing woman a bad attitude problem. She was obnoxious. When I said I was going to complain to the manager she smuggly told me she was the manager. So I asked for the number of head office and incredibly she refused to give it to me. I asked her eight times and on each occasion she refused demanding I should deal with her. I told her I was going to start recording and she told me not to. Needless to say i did and she was so bold in her belief she was getting away with this behaviour that when I told her I had actually recorded she became even ruder and even told me her bosses wouldnt be allowed to hear the recordings because I didnt have her permission and quoted GDPR at me ! Funny that. If anyone was accusing me of being rude and I wasnt Id be delighted there was a recording. She wasnt delighted ! Horrid woman and honestly I would urge people to shop elsewhere because we are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity and companies are becoming less and less interested in us as consumers. They need a wake up call”

“I bought 5 watches, online, all same model for family, inspected them, all 5 have scratches, no plastic protection, no tags which are important, some had no warranty card. Returned them all, last week I bought 3 in the sale, all scratched, some with dings on them where they have hit something, no tags, no protective plastic, one missing a warranty card, these are all going back, I thought just order one, you might get lucky, received it today, scratched, no plastic protection, no tag. It's going back also. I am disgusted with ernest jones and lack of care for products or customers, these watches all have the appearance of being used watches, they must be the display models and are badly looked after, they don't tell you they are display models, all 8 watches I ordered came from different shops which makes me think I'm right I will never use Ernest jones again. Vote with your money, don't go through what I have had to go through, reading these reports and elsewhere online I see a lot of people have the same problem with scratched watches. They don't leave the factory in this condition. When I buy a new watch I expect it to be new. These watches are all being returned due to being scratched.”

“Terrible, I bought a watch from the Liverpool One branch of Ernest Jones one month ago today. It was £550 and I paid on the day but the watch was too tight and needed an extra link putting in. They didn't have one and said they would have to order one and then would fit it and post it to me as soon as it was ready. One month later and I haven't heard a thing from them and haven't got the watch!! I have been in touch with customer services who try and fob you off as best they can and then promise to get back to you but they don't! A month on and still no watch plus £550 out of pocket, I will never shop here again!! Their customer 'support' is the worst I have ever experienced!”

“Purchased a TAG Heuer online. Arrived with a faulty clasp and the steel strap had been shortened, which indicated that the watch had been fitted for another customer but returned, then supplied to me as new when it obviously not. Buyer beware.. Weeks after discussing with customer complaints got me almost nowhere. Multiple visits dropping off and collecting, even visited TAG store to check clasp fault and what the correct length of strap should have been. Ernest Jones eventually supplied an extra link to replace what was missing. Patience ran out after customer complaints failed to offer a solution/resolution. Returned it to a local store for a refund after 3 months, never having worn it, be prepared to be very disappointed and out of pocket. Store staff were excellent though, very respectful and professional. Just a shame they work for a business that cant be the same.”

“We’ve used the Milton Keynes store quite a few times now, Wedding rings, eternity rings, and a fabulous special addition watch ! Always dealt with James, fab chap, always so helpful and gives great advice. He also got a problem sorted for me, and always does a professional job! He’s an absolute gem and a credit to Ernest Jones ! Wouldn’t use any other jeweller!”

“what a wonderful experience I had when I visited your store in Leeds City Centre I was greeted by a young lady with a limp and seemed very much a pain but still was greeted with a smile,she asked what brought me to Ernest jones and I told her I purchased a watch and I needed some links taking out,she then passed me over to a beautiful young lady called Nicki and then the experience just got better, with a stunning smile she checked my watch and wrist and talked me threw what she was going to do with the strap,what a perfect fit the watch looks amazing a big thank you Nicki for a fantastic experience and your an asset to Ernest Jones.”

“I bought a wedding band in February 2020 for £600 from Ernest Jones Grafton centre in Cambridge. Soon after, the store shut down due to COVID restrictions and I was informed that instead I would be able to collect the ring from the Ernest Jones Lion Yard branch once it reopened. Unfortunately, I couldn’t pick up the ring from the store after lockdown restrictions eased last summer as I was self-isolating in London and then had to travel to Canada for five months. However, I informed and reminded Ernest Jones of my situation on several occasions and was constantly reassured that the ring was safe and I could collect it in the new year. Upon my return to the UK about two months ago, I called the store about 50-60 times (no exaggeration) to arrange the collection but was unable to get through to anyone. Then about a month ago, a member of staff, Richard, finally answered and to my horror told me that the ring was missing! I was informed that somebody would call me back with more information, but nothing. I then tried to call the store a few times for an update and surprise, surprise- no answer! At this point I decided to call up Ernest Jones customer services who finally arranged for the Lion Yard store manager, Katie, to call me. Positively, she informed me that I should be entitled to a full refund as it was a mistake on their behalf. However, about 10 minutes later, shockingly I received another call from her to say that my ex-partner, who I am no longer on speaking terms with, had just tried to return the ring, meaning it had been in his possession the entire time! So not only did Ernest Jones give away my property to an unauthorised person with no proof of purchase, but they also failed to even record the handover on their system. Katie said she would call me back after investigating how this farce happened, but of course there has been radio silence on their end and no answer when I have tried to call. This is the worst service I have ever encountered, unprofessional, unorganised and full of empty promises. Not only have I lost a lot of money, I have also lost countless hours and this whole episode has placed a significant strain on my mental health during what has already been a very stressful period of my life. Do not shop here - avoid this place like Covid-19!”

“My husband bought me a beautiful diamond bracelet for Christmas which was unfortunately too small. I took it back to Dunfermline branch in the Kingsgate and Jackie and Louise couldn’t have been more helpful. I left with a new bracelet that fits and was extremely happy. Thanks ladies you made my day ☺️”

“Bought a Longines automatic watch just after Christmas, it arrived with a scratch on the watch so I returned it. Then the same Longines watch went on offer so I gave it one more chance and bought it again. AGAIN it was another watch with a scratch. So I don't trust online buying anymore as these watches looked like ex-displayed or returned. VERY ANGRY. VERY ANGRY”

“Would like to give no star if that’s an option. Placed an order by paying by credit card. Several days later, I was told that my order had been cancelled because the item was out of stock. No explanation as to why it took so long for them to realise that they didn’t have the item. I told my daughter as soon as I successfully placed an order that her gift was on its way, and I had to scramble to find an alternative retailer. Never again!”

“My wedding ring has lost a diamond 7 times!!!!! And in less than 3 yrs!! Everytime they tried to say it was my fault then eventually said it must be a design flaw but I should still pay for it to be mended! Their customer service is SHOCKING! They act like they couldn't care less about you and that everything is your fault. I would NEVER recommend using them! I have given up and taken my ring back unrepaired... will be going to a jeweller that actually provide quality and care for their customers. The branch I used was the Middlesbrough branch.... I wouldn't recommend a single one of their staff.”

“After waiting almost 10 weeks for a Breitling to be repaired and being told that the service department was running behind due to the pandemic, we decided to call Breitling ourselves... Surprise surprise, they had never received any authorisation from the Kingston branch to proceed with the works until the day that we called to complain about the time taken to repair the watch. After a conversation with an incompetent supervisor who wouldn't pass me along to the store manager as they obviously run out of lies to tell me, we have managed to get the watch sent back to us so that we can send it off to Breitling ourselves. Complete and utter waste time, be wary!!! Read the other reviews, not sure how they average 2.83”

“Ordered 2 pairs of earrings online. Arrived next day. Packed well and gift wrapped lovely. Earrings better in real life than on the website - it’s usually the opposite with jewellery. Used online chat before I purchased. Very impressed, will definitely use them again and thoroughly recommend.”

“So it was the branch at St Ann Street in Manchester that we visited. Wow ! Unbelievably organised with the restrictions. The staff have super knowledge and We were very impressed with the service that we received. We have to make a shout out to Paul, Paige and Chris. These are amazing team members and an asset to the company. Our trip was extremely personal and we left with very happy memories. Can’t recommend this branch enough and we shall return in the future”

“If ernest jones are thinking of shutting stores they should start with the one in Carlisle as the customer service from the manager is so bad she gives the organisation a bad name. They seem to be fine when making a sale but absolutely shocking when dealing with you for any kind of follow up business such as servicing a product or looking at other reviews on here, if you find a fault. It's a shame as up to now I have to say the customer service has been good having used their stores across the North East and Cumbria. However one bad manager has managed to make the experience so bad they've now lost a loyal customer and all future business.”
