Awful customer service experience from Milton Keynes store. We purchased a ceiling light with other items and this was only delivered 1 week ago. I contacted the store to return the item because it was way too big and the customer service advisor was awful. He highlighted that their policy highlights that you can not return an item however the policy clearly highlights that the item can be returned within 14 days of receiving it if a customer does not with to keep it. I am gutted that I had spend £200 on an item that we can not use and I just wanted to return it to chose a different one. We only took the item off the box and placed it back and we did not even attempt to put it up . I am so so disappointed with the service and actually wishing i had purchased the item from a different store.

Awful customer service ! When something arrives 6 weeks late and then it’s damaged it becomes a joke! Then having to wait another 6 weeks for another to be delivered is ridiculous, and that after three phone calls! Complete incompetence, won’t be using them again !!

Appalling after sales service. Sofa arrived with no sliders. They were promised the next week. Never arrived. Duresta chair and stool due 2 months ago. No one returns my calls. No-one responds to emails. Avoid this company unless you 're happy to be ignored and for your furniture to never arrive. If theres a problem - tell me furnitire village rugby and let me go somewhere else and order a chair and stool. Don't leave me hanging.

Will never buy from this company again, terrible after sales service. Delivery was delayed on our sideboard by 2 months and when it did arrive it was put in place and the delivery guys left before i could check it over plus did not sign for anything! they left the wrapping on the unit which they had rewrapped after installing it, shock horror the back was all smashed plus no handles or fittings. Called the help line on the delivery note within 10 mins to be told only open during the week days so thats no good if you have a weekend delivery! Delivered in November its now 18th Feb and still not resolved despite lots of promises we have spent literally hours on hold on the phone and sent emails by the dozen, you get a different person when you do manage to talk to someone and, to cut a long story short we feel like we are just promised what we want to hear and then fobbed off hoping eventually we will go away! We have a sideboard that isnt usable looks rubbish as no handles just holes and with a lighting unit that has no cables to use it! Caused more upset and arguments we wish we had never bothered.......be warned if you have to go back to customer services it will be a nightmare!!!!

I have been chasing my order for months. I get told a delivery month and then nothing. I have wasted so much time and energy on this i am furious. I was a huge fan of furniture village and have bought lots of furniture from them over the years but never again. 7 1/2 months waiting for an order is NOT ACCEPTABLE the newspapers should be investigating companies and fining them for dreadful service like this because the customer has no rights at all and just has to wait. Where is the compensation for all the hours on the phone? If the order says 13-15 weeks it shouldnt be 32-33 weeks !!!

Im very disappointed with the services Im very disappointed with the services. We ordered our dinning chairs on 21st October and we have been waiting till today for the delivery which is 17 weeks. They blame it on pandemic and that time the pandemic was slowly finishing. Whe we order from DFS in middle of the pandemic the waiting was 6 weeks and we thought is long wait but 17 weeks? Thats ridiculous. Every day was bombarded by their emails with offers and sales and have never recieved any email about the progress of my order. They dis not care about me as a customer who purchased already something felt like we got you so we dont care anymore only if we can get more money from you approach. When they finally called me after 16 weeks to arrange delivery they gave me only one option for delivery and if i wouldnt take holiday dor that day to be home I would have ro wait for another 2-3weeks. Also on that day no one called me to actually tell me some timeline when i can expect the delivery on that day. The customer service is just terrible. I thought dfs is bad but according this experience dfs is excelent in customer service. When we opened them we actually realized they are much darker than we saw in shop. We checked pictures we had when we were choosing them and clearly can see they are at least 1 shade darker then they should. Which makes other problem and if we knew we would choose lighter one. 17 weeks wait and disappointed in every way. Im sure I will not purchase anything from the furniture village in future its not worth it.

Reasons to visit: A great showroom with a good choice of home furnishings, reasonable prices and average sales people. If your new furniture is delivered without issues then count yourself as lucky. Reasons to avoid: If your product is delivered damaged or poorly set up (we had both), then be prepared, in our experience, to face a culture of disinterest , poor customer service and extremely poor communication. You'll face long waits to speak with a 'Customer Service' advisor and will ultimately be passed to the 'Resolutions' team. This is where your real problems start... You can expect a visit from a technician, again, in our experience, the technician was disinterested in doing a thorough job and had to be coerced into completing the set up of our Merlin table. Sadly he could do nothing to resolve an issue with a badly distorted dining chair frame. We then had to wait 3.5 months for a replacement chair frame. We had NO communication on when to expect the replacement. Several family meals, including Christmas and a Wedding party, were held with 5 good chairs and the wonky 'rocking' chair that Furniture Village left us with. Forget about complaining to your local showroom, once they have your money they have zero interest. All the smiles and falling over themselves to get the order quickly evaporate if you have a problem. Our email and letter of complaint to their Milton Keynes 'Customer Care' Centre were ignored. I was polite and courteous throughout my attempts to communicate with Furniture Village. The problem could have been much reduced if they could have just explained when to expect a 'resolution' to the problem. One hapless advisor actually stated that 'returning customers were very important to Furniture Village'. Based on our experience we will NEVER step into their showrooms again.

Bought a table and chairs from the Bristol branch in November 2021, delivery expected before Christmas as per their website. No communication except me to them. Delays due to shipments apparently. Cancelled order on 24 January 2022 and promised refund... three weeks later, no refund. Very, very disappointing customer care.

Can't fault the way we were treated when placing the order in-store in Ipswich but after that..... Our bed was delivered with damaged divan drawers which we advised FV of quickly after the delivery team had left. This was in November and despite numerous calls and emails we are still waiting for the problem to be resolved. At one point they even informed when I called that the delay to the promised repair date of 4th of January was down to Christmas happening... who would have known Christmas was going to occur on the 25th of December. I've now had enough and want a refund an an end to delaing with this shower

We are so disappointed with their poor customer care. They delivered a bench with a defect back in December and they promised to sort it out by second week of January 22... Well they never contacted us back, even after sending another email beginning of February 22, reminding them that we are still sitting on a faulty product !!! I won't recommend them to anybody and I will never buy again from them.

We ordered a Parker Knoll sofa and armchair on 26th July 2021 which duly arrived on time in November. Unfortunately it came with teak coloured feet when the order clearly states mahogany or dark feet. We went up the following day and have since been up 4 times and still no resolution to what really should be a simple situation to put right. We have been told on numerous occasions that it will be sorted and that various people will contact us. We have heard nothing, zilch, nada. I am calm at the moment but it is really infuriating what on earth is the matter with this company?! Wish we had gone to Doorway to Value. Instead we went to the Capitol Centre, Preston branch. You have been warned! Jill Cunliffe

This is the worst Company I have ever dealt with. Ordered a settee in August last year. Enquired where it had got to and was then informed it was coming from China! Finally came end November. A load of rubbish (£2200). Assessor came 15th December agreed. They just collected today 7th Feb 22 after hours of trying to speak to someone. Our deposit still awaited since July and Finance Company on our back! Absolutely disgusted. The sales team jump to take an order but won't help. Don't blame Covid or staff shortages. Just don't take orders if you can't deliver the goods. Never again!

Front of Nicoletti sofa cushions collapsed after a few months. Furniture Village’s own report says it’s a design fault. We had to allow them to try to repair it (that’s the law) but repair failed after a week. Now Furniture Village just not responding to my emails and calls. I’ve never come across such terrible customer service, complete crooks

Not recommend to anyone at all. I bought Nicolette sofa from Furnture village, when they delivered sofa and fixed, it was noisy and look like faulty sofa. I spend lot of money to get cheap quality and no sign of Nicolette. When I complained, they sent technicians 3times to sort it out but nothing happens and at end Rafael from after care service called me and promised me to resolve the problem, he asked me to sent him a video, I sent video more than a month ago and still waiting for his respond. I sent many emails and massages but they just ignore it. They going to play with you until you get tired and give up.
