“Worst customer service ever, very rude staff, specially the manager in the London store in Oxford circus. They sell stuff that has been used, probably returns or ex displays, and it's damaged, be very careful because if you don't notice it, and try to return it, they will blame you. This happened to me when I tried to return the wedding ring my boyfriend bought for me and it was too big. The manager was horrible to me, and told me it had been used! That means that when he bought it, it wasn't new.. I had to pay to have it resized, when I perfectly knew they have them in different sizes. Very upsetting having to keep such an important ring that you are going to wear everyday, when you know it wasn't new. Quality is also bad, and pictures online don't show the real item. I have also tried the click and collect service, and when I went to collect the item, it was all damaged. The girl in the store told me that it was the material that was like that, excuse me? I'm not stupid and it was all scratched! She was very rude, and wanted me to pay more for ordering the exact same item again. A place that I would recommend to stay away from.”

“Got a ring from my boyfriend . First of all they sent the wrong size. After a week of wearing a stone felt out so brought it back to get a smaller size and fix the stone that felt out. They wanted to get 140 for a very small stone replacing when the ring costs 150 all together. terrible quality and service. don't recommend them at all!”

“I ordered some items from h samuel on 27th December and the expected delivery date was 31st December. It is now the 13th of January and I have only received 1 out of the 3 items. After countless unanswered emails and facebook message and contacting via the site, 1 customer service agent emailed me back and with a very poor sarcastic attitude. They are now lying that the item was delivered on 9th Jan and signed for (haven't even bothered to say which one) and now I am waiting again. There is no way this can be true as I work from home and I am the only person who would have home to collect it. A nightmare.”

“As someone who's worked for Signet, the Eastleigh H Samuel's store is often times just plain awful to work for. Every week if not every few days an email is sent out by the area manager heavily stating that the reason for the stores (sorry, companys) lack of profits in the current climate is purely the fault of the sales associates on minimum wage and hours not selling hard enough, with these messages being sent out late at night to colleagues via the management, leaving no breathing space from work. There is zero positivity in this store. The manager spends all their time out back avoiding responsibility and can hardly bring themselves to go through targets with staff and again, when they do, goes about it in an incredibly pessimistic, negative way that leaves you feeling incredibly depressed, anxious and stressed. With these attitudes and constant bombardment I don't see this store lasting in future and wonder how other stores are faring if this is seen as acceptable behaviour. No job is worth the detriment of your happiness and mental health.”

“Wolves in sheep's clothing springs to mind - very friendly when you're handing them your cash but if there are any issues you can be sure that the temperature will drop significantly and a cold reception given. Wore my ring twice (and I'm a stay at home mother, not a brick layer, or plumber!) , before deciding the ring needed returning as, after having my ring size measured by the manager, it still slipped around on my finger, the diamonds ending up continuously on the underside where they shouldn't be. Attempted to return in store for the 30 day returns policy to be rebuffed and told that it isn't in pristine condition and cannot be refunded. A little bit confused how a supposedly immaculate when purchased ring can be non refundable after a few hours on my hand completing simple exercises such as dressing the children and driving them to a play date at a friend's where I sat on the sofa and committed the labour intensive act of drinking a cup of tea but there we have it - another lump of cash in their tills and another unhappy customer. Avoid at all costs!”

“DO NOT FALL FOR THESE POOR QUALITY RINGS my parents and two friends warned me against buying a diamond ring here due to lots of horror stories of awful quality. However, lured in by low prices I thought I would risk it. Paid hundreds of pounds for a diamond eternity ring, a few weeks wear, no knocks or bangs and one of the diamonds falls out. Much like in all the cases I have heard, h Samuel concluded that despite this, it was our fault and the price for fixing was almost the value of the ring. Incidentally, two weeks later, my wedding bands bought from h Samuel 2 years before starts to crack and split. When we went into the shop and complain the only other customer who was in the shop heard us complaining and said she had the same problem and her ring had broken THREE TIMES. I take to twitter and it is flooded with the exact same story again and again. Two ring bought through h Samuel. Two falling to pieces rapidly. The same story being told EVERYWHERE. H Samuel wanting nothing to do with it. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE POOR QUALITY RINGS”

“Mum. Bought my daughter a necklace and bracelet set costing £499. After she passed away we took this and other item to be valued for insurance purposes to be told it is worthless. I have rang the shop only to be told it is sold as bonded jewellry. It is still in shop at £499. How you can warrant selling anything at £499 that is worthless. Feel like righting an article in local paper.”

“Husband and I visited the branch in Chester city centre last Saturday 23rd November and I purchased him a watch, the assistant Peter was so helpful and when we had to go back this morning (with no receipt) as there was a minor issue, Peter could not do enough even ringing around other stores and reprinting the receipt. Great service, would definitely recommend.”

“H Samuel have a habit of advertising prices for their watches but refuse to honour the price when you try and purchase items. Customer Services are useless and tell you downright lies to get rid of you when you attempt to resolve the problem. My advice is AVOID. Other review sites show a dissatisfaction rate of over 90 per cent with this company which is unprecedented . If I was a Director of this firm I would be alarmed with scores of that order!”

“Truro branch.Worst service ever ! I wanted to replace an engagement ring I had lost on holiday.I told her I would pay up to £4,000 for the right one. She told me not to waist her time. The holiday was a 5* in Mexico. The ring was 40 years old. Having worked in high end retail for 20 plus years,do not judge a book by its cover. I will never use or recommend this company again.”

“If you want to buy a watch ,DON'T go to H Samuel If you want to buy a watch , steer clear of H Samuel. In my opinion they are living on past glories. I bought a new Seiko watch from these people and after 6 months the pins started falling out of the strap. On taking it back to the shop , I was informed smugly that the strap is not covered under guarantee and I should have bought 'a Premium' insurance. What sort of workmanship needs a guarantee of any product that fails completely after 6 months ? Truly pathetic. On emailing their customer service , I received a trite automated reply and that's it......no offer of replacement. Sad to see a once respected brand turn into this Ratner-type organisation.”

“Avoid them like the plague. Bought a watch for £350. The strap broke the first time it was worn. They now have the nerve to tell me it's not under warranty because it's the strap and want to charge me £50. For a repair to a brand new watch. I am furious and will see them in the courts !”
