I purchased a ceramic heater on the 1st October and I am still awaiting delivery 54 days later with no communication from IW. The invoice states that is will be dispatched within three days I waited 3 weeks then six weeks went by and still nothing to date. This is not my first such experience I, their system seems to have a problem remembering to dispatch the products. Before you purchase ensue that you are able to wait three months and do the chasing up in order to get the delivery. Maybe it’s been dispatched but Post code WS3 3HU is too far away.

Jacquie Toon We bought a mattress at ideal world. It is now having to be replaced. 😡After only 13 months. 😡It is useless. Obviously, a mattress should last longer than 13 months. Considering this bed is not used on a daily basis this a very poor performance. Apparently, a faulty product will only be replaced within a 12 month warranty.😡 Basically, they would like to buy a new mattress, even thought this mattress is not in a usable state after just 13 months. Don't waste your money.😡

But a product. They say they send you letters and emails. You advise them never received at all. They ignore you abs don’t call back. Their phone line costs are DISGUSTING EXPENSIVE 5 minutes cost me over £7 and buy from there.

Super stretch bengalines are so comfortable but all the elastic 'pinged' down the seams after wearing 3-4 times!!! Not a good look. Looks like fine hairs☹️

RugDoctor delivered in an appalling condition. Leaked. Wet/soaked Damp. Torn/holes. Box resealed as though it was used before and taped up. Refurbished? Returned ? Can't believe idealworld allowed it to be delivered like this Hermes driver dragged it into our home... scanned it then shot off in seconds. Maybe he knew something we didn't? Where the machine inside the box had leaked..our kitchen floor now has a stain which is impossible to get rid off at moment. Emailed them. Chat team cut me off.lol. Hopefully a full refund and including postage costs will be forthcoming,but I have little or no faith in idealworld now.

I bought a beldrey floor cleaner that wouldn’t charge after 6 times of use. Nightmare to send back. Loads of excuses from ideal world 13p a minute phone calls and believe me your lucky if you can get off the phone after 20mins waiting just to speck to someone. Total waste of my time and money. Quick To take your money slow in returns. I truly believe if I hadn’t sent endless emails and placed lots of bad reviews I would still be waiting for my money. Nothing good to say about ideal world I’m afraid.

I ordered a carpet/hard floor cleaner, realised it was too big and packed it up to send back. I started the return through the Ideal world website printed label, paid Hermes £2.99 got confirmation email for uplift, waited three days and nothing tried to contact IW told because I used Hermes they could do nothing. Tried again same thing tried to contact Hermes my tracking number was wrong so no chance there. Contacted IW this time by phone in total took 2 weeks IW offered to send by post office I could not manage because of appointments. In total cost me £38.48 to return parcel. not including £12.00 to Hermes. Next in Line!

Bengaline superstrech Cropped Trousers. Get the size right! Size Medium measures 27 inches which is a size 10 not 28-31 as quoted on the website. The longer bengaline are the correct measurements for size medium. Check before sending to customers. I will contact customer services to get a postal refund as there s no label for free Asda returns either! Very poor and disappointing service!

Hermes driver photographed an open window as proof parcel had been delivered. It has not i was in the house. Do not know who Ideal World are using as carriers but its not the normal Hermes Drivers. Will not buy from Ideal world again it was my first purchase and will be my last. If they cant guarantee the honesty of the carriers i wont waste my money

When you need to return something its a premium rate call and with all the question it will cost upwards of £20.why is every item selling out and your constantly told to check out ,yet they carry on selling it for days ,talk about high pressure sales and people fall for it.

BEWARE not like they used to be,very very poor customer service,had to send mattress back because sides were crushing in and was told would be up to 21 working days for replacement or refund even after I had told them I had health issues and no other mattress they just didn't care,and was told to get neighbours and relatives to help me roll the mattress for collection seriously it's an absolute joke and cost me over £8 in phone calls.
