“Ordered a flosser which didn’t arrive after 10 days, so o emailed the customer service. Once they eventually got back to me, they said that they had received my return and we’re going to refund my money…Which they did. Only thing is…I hadn’t received it, so who had opened my personal mail, to get the return label out…Then, I got another mail to say that my goods had gone missing in the post, so they were refunding me….Very strange. In between ordering the flosser, I also bought some mens aftershave…on the 26th of October. As of today…the 2nd November…it still hasn’t been despatched…I wouldn’t be surprised if it also went “missing”, and I get another refund. Not a patch on the old IW…in terms of products, which mostly appear to be cheap items, delivery….or communication. I doubt that I’ll be ordering anything else…Which is a shame.”
“Bought a product from Ideal World Shopping. Everything went well Item was fine dleivered quickly etc until it developed a fault. Now Ideal World are not intersted as my item was purchased though the Ideal World which went bust. The new Ideal World will not help. Can not get in touch with the manufacturer. I have sent numerous requests to try to arrange repair to date nothing. I should of just gone to a high street shop. Beware.”
“I have been watching the new revamped show and I can honestly say it is terrible. The presenters, the products the picture quality. I can't see how they sell anything.”
“Waited 12 days for mirror dash cam sill not received it customer service engaged if I can't get though I will take it further quick enough to take orders and your MONEY the ones who take the orders can't put you through to customer service never buy anything of this mob again”
“Not the same quality of goods ,dont seem to have some of the good brands Ideal World has been known for ,been shopping with them for many years but not happy with what I've seen so far!”
“I am so angry with this company. Since they went bust regular flexi payments have been going out of my account so I thought everything was ok. To my amazement I have received a letter from a Debt Recovery company claiming I owe Ideal World £41.40. This letter arrived on Saturday but I will be on the phone first thing Monday to try and sort out what is happening. I am never late with paymenys to anybody so am very annoyed. Will never buy anything From Ideal World again”
“My review is a positive one as I always manage to sort out any problems with my orders received prompt refunds and updates when orders are late arriving. Sorry to learn of the demise of the channel and hope it will eventually return 😃”
“Purchased sunglasses they arrived very poor quality £62.00 so I returned them via asda to you this was a week before they went into administration, they must have known they in were difficulties but carried on selling goods regardless,so I don't expect I'll see my refund. It's time something was done about companies still trading when they are in dire straits disgusting.”
“Returned a £100 item the same day they went into administration. No warning, nothing.
Absolutely disgusting selling to customers when they must have known this was going to happen.”
“Disgusted they have taken £600 for garden furniture which I have not received they must have known they where going into administration when they where still selling to customers”
“I made a purchase before the company went bust and the return was on its way back before they come off are. My return parcel as far as I am is being held at the Asda to you depot as it can't access ideal world to take back the returns. I am not holding much hope if getting my money back for the return I think this is shocking for everyone in the same boat as myself I contacted the email address provided on the site and the response was we will be back in touch with you.”
“Ordered on Sunday shut down on Monday so now I'm 179 out of pocket with no response no product no correspondence from this company what about my money you have taken and given me no explanation. Just take a customers money and run discusting service”
“Where is Elizabeth Grant products?? Very disappointing and please STOP with theviver sell of watches!! Every night!! Your viewers are not collectors so only need 1 or 2.....boting boring boring.”
“Ordered Bench ladies t shirts , absolutely awful , size 12 is more like a man's 40 chest , size 10 not much better with 1 of my size 10 fitting my partner , terrible fabric , waste of money”
“order blue magic been 8 day decided to ask how long got nasty person saying could take up 2 another 2 weeks or more joke was on chat for 40 minute to get told that what a joke will never ever order off them again .Fast to take your money”
“Ordered a tower vl30 plus what arrived a tower vl30.The model was not the one shown on the TV. Contacted customer services who said the would get the item picked up via every who found the bar code sent was not valid. I have now sent it via asda toyou.watch this space to see if I get a refund....Do not need all this messing about...never again.”
“Touch & go with purchases. Generally pointless contacting “ busy” cust/ services. 24-48 responses can escalate to many days. My Vibropower massager “died” less than 28 days’ use. No Warranty, No Refund, No Intention to Compensate me. Insincere presentation. BUT Delivery are people reliable in my area. They could run the TV Shows better. Forget any Satisfaction from Idealworld. Replacement Items / Manufacturers unavailable. I Returned an item via ASDA but it was lost. “ TOUGH”! David.”
“Avoid like the plague! They charge you to contact them! They don't respond to e mails, their products are sub standard, cheaper and better on e Bay. They don't care, their presenters talk a good story but in my opinion you don't get what you promise and if you want a refund, forget it!”
