I bought "Blue Magic" & what a letdown. There is nothing magic about it, absolutely rubbish, I tried 3 different items with only a small amount of stain on them. First I used the weakest strength, then 2nd the medium, 3rd the strongest & not one application made even the slightest difference. Ideal World has had its 1st & last order from me

I ordered a mattress from Ideal World. In June I got an email from the courier service they use to say it would be delivered on a certain date. I waited in took time off work change my shift around the new mattress came. I emailed Ideal World and informed him of this stuff. I said I wanted to cancel it and I’ve forgotten sexy Lexi Pay I will be cancelling the monthly payments until it was finished. They emailed me back telling me not to take this is the mattress couple of days later the Courier turned up at the mattress and I told him I wasn’t accepting it and he took it away.Ideal World emailed me to say that was on the way back to the department. Couple of days lease of the same quality as up at the mattress. I decided to take the seat of the mattress and informed Ideal World. I had to stop payments as I intended for the matters to go back. I tried to set up the repayment plan and but the bank said they it will take a week. I informed Ideal World of the situation all along the way emailing them constantly.. When you phone up to no 87 number I’ve spent nearly £10 trying to resolve the matter. They have now charged me £15 admin fee and £3.80. I tried to phone up to pay the mattress twice on the same day and it was totally refused. Ideal World did say that some of the ring me back in 24 hours which they did. But I didn’t have the card to pay the payments. This appears to be phoning me back today I’m still awaiting their call so I can fit pay the balance. For them to charge me an admin fee when I have clearly tried to pay the outstanding balance choice is unacceptable. I would never buy from this company again. When I looklook at the other Reviews which I will do in future when I’m going to buy anything I wouldn’t have bought the mattress from Ideal World . Advice to anybody in future look on the reviews before you buy because I certainly will do take care .

I purchased a watch that did not work, it took days to sort out, the call centre is in India and they don't seem to know what they are doing, I am awaiting a refund and today see that it has cost me £10.71 in call charges for the privilege of calling them for a refund.

Absolutely the worst experience of on line shopping in my life - communication is deplorable staff just don’t care as this is clearly a daily slog - Either sort out your customer service or cease trading Buy elsewhere - even pay more as this company will just drive you mad as you go round in circles Word fail me as to the ineptitude of this organisation 86% of the reviews are negative - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! .

Avoid at all cost. Mum ordered plants sent via postal service. Insufficient packaging to protect plants so damaged on arrival. Ideal World want a JPEG picture of them. You know what they can do with their JPEG picture. Happy to rip off a 76 year old pensioner in these current times.

I have jus received my Swan & Edgar Gents Lancaster Ltd Ed Automatic Watch, brought from ideal world, much to my regret, the strap was broken, the lug pin bent, suspect I have a second hand one, I have to say it is very, very badly made, the bezel does not align to the top of the hour, nether does the hour hand at the top of the hour, bad form, this was to be a present to a daughter of a Lancaster pilot during WW2, I really would not insult her that way, sorry but so disappointed. In frustration I destroyed it, I don’t want a refund or anything else, just wanted you to know. I have retrieved the carcase out of the bin, serial No SE10072633, for your information. When the bezel does not align to the top of the hour when turned, it is ether to the left or right of the 12, and when the minute hand is on 12, the hour hand is in-between 11-12, that is jus bad workmanship, things like that show a lot about quality and care, as for my frustration that is my fault it is destroyed.

I purchased a cordless vacuum cleaner last year for £129.99 which came with 20 FREE microfibre cloths worth £20. Unfortunately, after about 11 months the suction on the vacuum cleaner began to reduce significantly so I have had to return it. The company have only refunded me £112.65 and will not refund the amount I originally paid. Ideal World TV says that the £17.34 is for the FREE microfibre cloths and I would need to return these as well for a full refund (as if I still have these after that length of time?). If these were advertised as free, how can I be charged for these? I have complained several times now and am just sick and tired of the long-winded correspondence with them so will have to write this amount off. Just beware that if you have to return a faulty product which came with a "free" gift you will only get a part refund. Obviously "free" is not free at Ideal World TV.

I placed two orders may 7th and May 10th and can honestly say it’s been a total nightmare and today 6th June Iv just received one order ( after almost 15,emails chasing it) and still waiting for the other despite as many emails chasing it up.The customer service is nothing but poor throughout and so bad I would never buy anything else from idealworld tv as if it ever arrived and you have a problem you may as well throw it in the bin as their customer care centre will not give you any confidence in getting it sorted. Buy elsewhere you will not regret it.

This would be a MINUS STAR RATING not a number one star rating if it was possible to do this, people DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY WHO ARE ON TV CHANNEL NO. 22 company if you do not want to loose your hard earned money, or get lots and lots of " we will answer you query in 72 hours" if you email them, and if you phone them their number is a premium rate number and you will be kept hanging on phone line for quite a while at around 20 p per minute. Have a look on trust pilot for reviews as well them make up your own mind

Absolutely disgusting company. Received plants half dead. 6 emails later asking for refund still no joy. Also ordered an ebike was contacted on 19th may to say it would arrive that evening as out for delivery it is now 26th may still no bike. Nobody has contacted me so I have phoned them with which they said they would investigate still waiting for an answer. Do not buy from this company if you do not want to be left angry disappointed and upset. And out of pocket for shoddy goods. They also dont let you leave a bad review on their website.I also sent them photos of the plants but they replied wrong format.

Had my money for over a week now and still no sign of my order. I ordered trainers 2 days ago from another source and they turned up within 48 hours with no extra delivery costs. As a first time experience i will never return. Order placed and informed 3-5 working days. 6 days later I sent an email only to be told that it was only despatched 3 day’s ago so delivery will be 3-5 days from dispatch. Your telling me it takes 10 days to deliver a parcel the size of a shoe box. Absolute joke. Top it off when they send you the link to Hermes tracking page, it doesn’t even work. Use a reputable retailer not a tv promo company

Everything!!!! What a waste of time and money. Never use this company if you don't want to lose your money and your patience. If you need anything sooner rather than later then don't bother. I will never use this company again.!!!!!

DO NOT USE this company. I purchased 12 plants and due to inadequate packaging 1 arrived open in a plastic bag. Have sent SEVEN emails to be ignored every time.

Terrible company. The presenters tell lies in order to get you to purchase, they have over inflated egos, they make the sale and 5hen it all goes downhill fast. Purchased a Dormeo hybrid mattress and today which is 13 days later I am still waiting. I am disabled and have slept in a chair for the last 7 nights waiting for this. I have told them but they could not care less and do not bother to answer. Also have a chair and footrest where the edge of the footrest has started to fray. I have told them but they have not replied. Altogether I have sent around 20 emails but no result. What a terrible business.

I disnr want I refund I wanted an offer that you had to but the 2 items the same time. They wouldn't do it and told me to send them the other offer as they didnt know it. Confused the customer Services doesn't know the offer. They refunded me and told me to wait 3 to 5 days in which time the offer would be out of date. What a rubbish thing to do to someone with all what is going on. They grab yr moneynand then deliver below average customer Services. I was going to order a lot more from this channel but never ever will I order anything again. In fact I've let my family and friends know not to order due to the 0 star customer service
