“Kept My Bank Card Number after being told not too. Then the marketing calls start,even after saying You Don't Want Them Too Call You. Deliberate Breeches of Article 8 of the Civil And Human Rights 1994.”

“Customer Service is appalling! I have rung several times chasing a refund of £75 and keep getting fobbed off. The advisor was rude and very abrupt. I will never deal with Ideal World again and advise people to steer clear!”

“Bought a Dormeo mattress that I did not like so retuned it. Phoned about my refund as I paid in Full. Told courier takes 28 to return to Dormeo Then around ten days for Refund to be issued So in all 38 days for the refund.to be issued. Still waiting .Do not buy mattresses as the refunds are outrageous is this legal as they do not mention on tv takes 38 days for refund. Use qvc i have never had a problem with refunds.from them. would give No stars but One is the least I can place.”

“The old ideal world was good. Bought lots from it. But since TJC took over it’s rubbish. I’m sure the old ideal world presenters must hate going u to work now. Even the picture quality of the channel is rubbish”

“I just can't believe the pricey tat they are showing. Who buys this stuff? People with more money than sense. The few presenters from the past look embarrassed to be there. I think this channels days are numbered .”

“Both Ideal World and TJC are now really naff - I believe they are run by the same company? I used to buy a lot from both channels years ago, but now they just sell tat - and the new presenters are awful! Pretty embarrassing all round; I can't believe they will last much longer.”

“Just dreadful! Presenters seem unable to string more than a few words together and (understandably) struggle to talk about something like an eyebrow brush for an entire programme. Goods are overpriced & look as if they've fallen off the back of a lorry. Used to be an IW shopper but no more, its embarrassing to watch!”

“What people don't realise is that ideal world was sold to a company called TJC who bought the channel and equipment as Ideal world is not the old company but a new one and unless the previous owner buys it back its not going to happen.”

“Irate ex customer. They tried to take £7.47 off of an old card, did not use updated card details, and this is somehow MY fault??? Now sent it through to a debt collector. Not impressed at all, no attempt to let me know payment never went through. Will never ever use this company again.”

“I'm pretty sure they broke the law in handing over both my contact details and credit card details to a third party. I would avoid ideal world at all costs and the rocket marketing group who also appear to be a bunch of scammers.”

“I received a call today from ideal world with regards to a previous purchase I made, the person on the phone was trying to sign me up for some sort of promotion card for £99 which can be used in numerous stores, I refused his offer and was told that he would send me the paper work out for me to have a look at, again refused this, I then checked my online banking and seen that ideal super have taken money out of my account without my authorisation, ive contacted my bank and I was told to contact ideal world and request that the money be refunded or they will process this as frued. This is a total scam I NEVER signed up for any such card and I want all monies refunded. I contacted ideal to be told that I had signed up ( again not true the cold caller signed me up for his commission) ideal world I will never buy from your organisation again and I will certainly not be leaving this here as this is blatant theft.”

“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”

“I purchased a beko two-in-one cordless vacuum in October and about 2 weeks ago the front LED lights on the brush bar started flickering and going on and off. I contacted beko and they authorised me a replacement or refund and gave me a reference number to forward to ideal world for the replacement. I contacted ideal world by email and explained the situation and told them that I had an authorised code for a refund or replacement from beko and they emailed me back saying that they needed one of their engineers is to look at the vacuum and see if they could repair it. I emailed them back and said I didn't want it repaired and that i had an authorisation code from beko for a replacement or refund. They emailed me back and said that I needed to take the beko vacuum to ASDA and once they received it it could take up to 20 days or more for a replacement. 20 days?? And that's without the time it takes the to return it from Asda to ideal world which is maybe another 3 or 4 days so I was looking at least 24 or more days to get a replacement or refund. I explained to them that I didn't have another vacuum cleaner to clean my home for at least 3-weeks or more. Their website return policy says it can take up to 14 days to process a replacement or refund so why have I got to wait 23/4 days or more?. Just got an email to this morning from Ideal world saying that need to look at the vacuum for a possible repair or replacement. As I said beko has authorised a replacement NOT A REPAIR. I am registered disabled with various health problems and this has really stress me out. The reason I got the cordless vacuum because it's light and easy for me to use with no cables. I've told ideal world that I would keep the vacuum and use it with no LED lights working as I can't be messed waiting about for almost month with no vacuum. Never again. I'm going to contact beko and see if i can do a direct exchange with them.”

“Purchased Wileyfox smartphone July 2019 .After 5 months battery would not last one day .Phoned Idealworld January 12th was put on hold for almost ten minutes and was then cut off.Cost me £8 for this call.After six emails was asked to send phone back to them so they could inspect it and if possible would repair this phone.They kept this phone for almost five weeks and eventually returned it to me minus the charger.The phone is exactly the same as when it was sent back to them and obviously has had nothing done to it. I am only giving them one star because I cannot give them zero as I would like to. I would not deal with this company again and would never advise anyone else to deal with them .Their customer service is diabolical and these people are not interested once they have your money.They should be featured on BBC Rip Off Britain as I have certainly been ripped off.”
