“I bought the roast potatoes for our Christmas lunch. They were awful. I will never buy again. Sainsbury's cook better and taste delicious compared to M&S”

“The Turkey crown I bought for our Christmas lunch was the worst I have had. Dry and tasteless. Didn't realise it had stuffing when purchased.. but thought ok not a problem until I saw over a 3rd of the turkey was in fact stuffing!! There was not enough meat for my family. So disappointed.”

“So disappointed with the Top Iced Madeira Cake this year. I particularly sought this out as it is a family favourite at Christmas. It was stodge with icing on top. How you could say it was Madeira Cake I have no idea and at £7 it was a complete let down. Is this a new improved recipe or just badly produced?”

“Bought the chocolate pudding with salted caramel centre at cost of £10 - worse dessert I’ve ever served ! Firstly took 75 minutes in the oven , extremely dry, very very dark strong chocolate with hardly any salted caramel centre, I won’t purchase again and wouldn’t recommend .... sorry M&S I’m usually a great fan of your food but certainly not this item”

“I ordered a 12-14 size Pembroke bronze free range turkey on 4th Nov for collection on 23rd December. I have ordered a turkey from M&S for 10 years. When I arrived at the selected time 10.15 am I was presented with a turkey for 6 much smaller than the one I ordered. I was so angry. The manager then offered me 2 turkeys to replace the larger one I ordered explaining that there had been mistakes in the ordering for larger turkeys. The thought of having to try and get two turkeys in the oven was really stressful. There was no prior warning. I was close to tears and the manager tried his best but the whole experience was just awful. A company like M&S should not make mistakes of this kind. Turkey is the main event and I didn't have the one I had carefully selected and ordered. Another turkey was found and I ended up with a Norfolk turkey which is a cheaper one but was for 8-10 people and the smaller Pembroke. I had paid £30 deposit and that paid for the small one and the manager offered the other one free. This is no way compensated for the stress and disappointment I felt. I have complained to customer services but have had very bland apologies for such a major error. I will NEVER order a turkey from M&S again and I am appalled at the response from customer services!”

“Collected my Christmas food on Christmas eve for a meal I was preparing today. All of the food had to be used before 26th so I'm unable to use any of it. Disappointed the shelf life was only 2 days and I wasted 130.00.”

“Tonbridge ,kent. I collected my large christmas food order yesterday. I was furious that the 2 turkeys i ordered were not included due to some mix up. Very angry and some what panicky i escalated to the section manager, yvonne and the store manager, gareth. They assured me that they would be able to rectify this by thd folloeing day. Well i am delighted to say they did! They contacted a larger local store with surplus stock and arranged that the 2 birds be collected and ready for me by 9.30am the following day. I appreciate things do go wrong. M&S being such a popular choice for so many shoppers what was great is that it was sorted promptly. Thanks all !”

“I went into the Marble Arch store today to buy pjs that my niece really liked and wanted. All the other stores were sold out, so i called the customer service line where they said the marble arch store had 19 on the shop floor. I went there and found none. I spoke with Theresa Harley who was the most helpful person i have come across. She checked the system which showed 5, but none were on the floor. So she then went to check the stock room, where she found the PJs in the size I needed. She was a genuinely lovely woman who went out if her way to help me.”

“Their customer service is absolutely ridiculous. Time wasters. Gift was faulty I sent them all the order details with the fact it was a gift clearly stated from the start for them to tell me they couldn't do nothing after I'd wasted my time getting all the correspondence and forwarding it to them. Why not make it clear at the beginning.”

“After a recent house move which resulted in goods going into storage my daughter found some recently expired un-used gift cards. I understand that companys have policies and t&c's relating to gift cards but this was exceptional circumstances and the cards amounted to a considerable amount of money. M&S customer service were not prepared to discuss and all I had was a standard crib sheet response, no personal touch. I have shopped with M&S for several years to the point where I have now got to an age where my weekly food shop consists of a trip to my local store. Out of 5 companies contacted, M&S were the only ones unwilling to show any empathy. My shopping habits will now be changing”

“If I could leave a review lower than 1 I would. I ordered my wedding cake in time from M&S. They failed to deliver, they admitted fault over the phone but refused to send a replacement out or do anything to actually help me. They repeatedly ignored my emails and any attempt to contact them on social media. I have been spoken to like utter dirt by this company and received a horrible email on my wedding day trying to blame me for their mistake.”

“I ordered some food for a buffet and M&S took the payment twice, I was told I couldn’t get a refund despite it being there error and I could try asking in store when I picked up the delivery!! The telecoms they use is based in Africa and they have no concept of English language let alone customer service skills. I was told there had been a system or internet problem which took my payment twice and it took 4 phone calls which totalled an hour and a half of wait time being put on hold continuously, one time on hold for 10 mins and being cut off, told by a manager to email her which I did and she would call back in 20 minutes to resolve and she never called back, so had to call again to find out she’d gone home. During the final call it was resolved and the additional payment will be refunded but I don't understand why it took so much time and effort from my side to resolve. Won't be using M&S again.”

“I picked up the gastric battered fish and chips from M&S, chips tasted powdery and dry, fish tasted horrendous, hardly any fish meat and mostly grey with a rancid smell, even the mushy peas was basically pea water as there was no actual peas in it!! I used to shop here but the quality of a lot of products has fallen yet the price remains the same. Not impressed!”

“I have just visited the food store on the upper level at London Liverpool Strret station only to find the manned tills have been reduced to machines. When I asked for a person to serve me I was told “I can help you with the machine” I am not incapable of using the machines but believe in human interaction and jobs! I will NOT be buying from this store again and if this is the way m&s are trying to save themselves it is NOT the right way! Try changing your clothes designers and maybe that will help! Talk about box cuts and frump, and I’m no spring chicken!!!”

“E-Card Gift Voucher ordered as a ‘surprise’ 60th for my sister in UK on 20 Nov. Order,payment,email address & despatch date 2.12.2018 were confirmed by MS. It did not arrive. Complained via Australian and UK web sites. After 3 days I received a response it had been despatched on 12.2.2018 - a ‘past’ date !!! Sister in UK rang MS Customer Service and explained, they contacted International and authorised a resend on 5.12.2018. This would be a convenient service from Australia, however, I have no confidence in MS ability to operate this ‘flawed’ system.”
