“Confirmed a date when I would receive a replacement laptop but this wasn’t kept, the first I knew about it was thanks to the courier company messages, for 5 days Hughes Rental didn’t bother to update me whether calling or emailing, sure we can all make mistakes and can be the new person, but how difficult would it have been to advise, instead of courier blaming who like I say were the only ones to honest inform - ((I needed an example of poor service and you sure can tell a lot with Hughes Rental after service))”

“Why, when I think, l I have paid for a uninstall, delivery and install for a washer, I find out the day before that you do not do uninstalls? Why on earth deliveries start at 7am Why they turned up at 6:45 am? I had not even unplugged the devices yet and who on earth gets a deliver at 6:45 am? They complained that they might not have the tools to install the washer dryer, even though I paid for it They complained that The washing machine install might take too long and be too hard Why they only have 10 mins to unpack and deliver 2 large items and that includes the washing machine install Why, instead of trying to find a way to deliver the items into the house, they spent more time complaining that it would be hard to do Why, they don't unbox the fridge freezer when all items are supposed to be unwrapped?That they both spoke at the same time (And complained at the same time), it was hard to keep track of who to answer? I now have a fridge freezer outside my house and an uninstalled washer dryer. I had to ask for this to ber left this was, as I was so upset and stressed that I just asked them to leave. Appalling!”

“Just had an LG Oled TV delivered to find out that Hughes had delivered me the wrong model TV, they have sent me last years model at £600 cheaper. When I asked when were they we going to correct this I was told that they can’t pick up of the mistake TV on the same day as the new TV due to the finance( which has been paid for as they wouldn’t have delivered it). So this means I have had to take three days off work for their mistake. This is the first and last time I use Hughes. I should have gone elsewhere. 1 star is too much. The process was quick and easy it’s was Customer service not making thing right that annoys me.”

“Hughes people are AMAZING! Their service is quick and efficient from the people arranging the deliveries to the people performing the task. And not just that!They overcome difficulties and any occurring inconvenience and go above and beyond! Although the lift to my apartment(6th floor!) was not working on the delivery day,they still managed to get my fridge upstairs and remove my old one. Absolute professionals- thank you Hughes!!”

“Very rude delivery drivers. They left our 85”inches TV out. They haven’t came for delivery at scheduled time. They came early morning 6to 6:30 where we couldn’t even ask help to our neighbours. I bought this TV for my pregnant wife where she was so unhappy with the service. Atleast they should have help us to carry through the staircase. And delivery person have asked for 200 to do so. And unnecessary laughing and mocking customer. Which ruined our whole day. I have ordered this TV and particularly selected on 23rd day which is my wife birthday. These delivery people spoiled our day totally . Unhappy because of delivery people. If you can’t do the delivery properly then better don’t take this big TV order. They cut my call while speaking about this matter to customer service”

“They didn’t honour the cash back payment. That’s why I decided to buy from them. Big mistake, which I won’t make again.”

“I never heard of them but I found a good cashback offer on quidco for them. I placed a big order and raised a claim for the cashback as the transaction wasn't tracked on quidco. 3 months after, it turns out Hughes declined my cashback claim without providing a specific reason. Never again!”

“Categories My Reviews My Settings Help LOG OUT Alternate Text Daniel GB For companies Your review counts! You reviewed Hughes Add photo Daniel 1 review 1 star: Bad Just now Good if you like your appliances broken and dented Absolutely appalling service. Purchased a dishwasher from their eBay store which arrived dented & cracked, received £50 back (they offered less at first) a week later it broke down so we got the manufacturer to come out to look at it. They reckon it had fallen over in transit which then flooded the anti flood switch. Tried to get a straight swap with hughes to avoid being without one for ages but not only did they point blank refuse this they arranged a courier to take it back from a refund without even checking the date was ok with me first! Thought I would give the company a go as not used them before but would certainly never use them again. Oh, and you can't even ring them to sort issues out unless you fancy running up a huge phone bill with their premium rate customer services number!!!”

“Rent my washing machine from hughes. First time it goes wrong they came out couldn't fix it . Under rental agreement they are supposed to bring g a new one within a couple of days. But oh no I have to wait 10 days as apparently no delivery slots. Took a day off work to wait in as they cant commit to a time around my work shift was told will call first thing with a 3 hour delivery window. Mo call came phoned them to be told the store had booked tomorrow instead . Cant get that day off work so now got to wait another week as they wont fit it in around my shifts I have to choose a day i can wait all day. Not good service made me disappointed in hughes. Was pleased i rented from them as supposed to be piece of mind . Not so sure now . Hopefully i wont need to call them out again if i am going to be treated like that”

“We bought a Bosch Fridge freezer from Hughes and it was advertised as frost free. On arrival we found it was not frost free and went into store to report this and they checked their website and it was not frost free. Dave the salesman saw the manager and they did not quibble they owned up to their mistake and said they would do a exchange. We have bought many electrical items over the years and have never had a problem. Their prices are very competitive and their delivery is first class.”
