“I buy my food from Ocado and most of it is your label but had ABacon from you and it was not cheaper cuts but the best .I ~opened a pack of Bacon and the slices were do thin Ithought and when AI had cooked it it was as hard and brittle and like no bacon that I had ever seen. It had stuck to my pan and it was not edible at all so please please can we buy some thicker slices and not this awful stuff you call back Bacon in future”

“I ordered a Nantucket Corner Sofa from M&S in March 2021. After extensive delays, false promises and endless phone calls, it was finally delivered in Aug 2021. I ordered the Aqua Clean fabric with the promises that you can clean 'coffee-stained, sauce-splattered or accidentally coloured in by the kids' off with just water. I got some WATER. Yes just water from my water bottle on it. Sponged with a cloth and rubbed gently in circular motions (as directed by the instructions), and it has left a huge water mark which is impossible to remove. I also got a teeny bit of melted chocolate on the sofa. Again, I used a damp cloth (using just water), rubbed lightly in circular motions, and when the fabric fully dried, it has left a water mark which is FAR worse than the initial chocolate. I contacted M&S Furniture who passed it onto a third party 'home service technician' that they use and they came back with "This is customer accidental damage, customer has soaked the fabric to remove small marks, the soaking of the fabric has left a water mark, this is no fault of the fabric ". I'm absolutely appalled! The fabric is NOT as they described. It is NOT fit for purpose. I have followed all of their instructions for cleaning and I did NOT 'soak' the fabric. How dare they accuse a customer of lying so blatantly, and not take ANY responsibility and try to RESOLVE this. DO NOT BUY FURNITURE FROM M&S. The quality is not worth the money. And if you have any issues they WILL NOT provide any aftercare. I will be taking this to the Furniture Ombudsman, Trading Standards and the finance company who the sofa has been 'purchased' through. Shocking!! Zero starts if I could!!”

“I ordered some flowers from M&S for my daughters birthday to be delivered to her work, I found out that I needed to move the date forward a day half an hour after I had put the order in so went straight back onto the website to move the delivery date forward but I was unable to move it. You can't amend the date after 15 minutes of your order. I have used many flower delivery companies before and there has never been a problem with moving the date forward or even cancelling the order but I was unable to do either with M & S. That is not good customer service. Assistant online was very polite and tried to help.”

“Tried to speak to someone at 2 of your stores you get automated conversation which is no help at all then get a call centre in India I presume who couldn’t help either she said M&S aren’t taking calls at the moment extremely helpful M&S!!! You really need to sort yourselves out shocking customer service”

“I bought M&S Steak Slices, awful! don't buy! Admittedly the pastry wasn't too bad but not great either. What meat there was, & there was very little, was tough & tasteless with an equally meagre amount of gravy. Altogether unappetizing.”

“Tried to order 3 pairs of leather gloves online on my M & S account. When I tried to pay the website kept scrolling back up to delivery despite there being nothing wrong with the delivery details. Would not let me even enter the gift card number. Very bad website. Annoyed.”

“This is the 5th order in 18 months where there has been serious issues. Today is the last time I will ever use them, it was my friends birthday so now I have no time in which to get a replacement. Beyond angry.”

“Bought 2 yellow.stickered items and was not told by assistant that there was no refund or exchange. She was having difficulty with the whole transaction for some reason. M&S response " policy stated on receipt" . But the purchase had been made when you are given the receipt, so it's too late then. Really appalling customer service from M&S”

“I have had food poisoning three times in the same store in five years every time it’s been with fresh soup I’m not happy the quality has gone down the fish in Edgeware Road it’s hardly ever checked many times I’ve bought fish and it’s been out of date but when you can’t find your glasses and look at the date you’re screwed, the customer service on the cash register has gone down big time”

“I am 60 and have been buying from M&S all my life but after todays experience that's come to an end. I took a pair of trousers back with a receipt that were too big (the changing rooms were closed due to COVID). Turns out M&S now have a days since purchase policy. I was 6 days outside so a refund/credit note was refused. M&S refused to budge. So that's it. No more M&S flowers (on which l spend a small fortune), no more M&S food, no more M&S anything and I have just cancelled my M&S card. A masterclass is how to loose loyal customers.”

“Absolute disgrace of a manager, member of staff berated my OAP mother back in November with a prolonged verbal attack for no apparent reason, other members of the public even had to stand in for her as she was in shock at the attack. The complaint was brushed off by the manager there and then, later offered a pathetic voucher that never arrived, head office was no better as after making a formal complaint in December they never contacted us again, now we are being told that they were informed the matter had been dealt with by the store and the complaint is closed. Absolutely furious at this”

“Several bad experiences in the last year, from overcharging from advertised price, poor quality goods and their over reliance on self checkout even when you have a trolly of food. Won't be using again. One bad experience too many”

“They cannot fulfill online orders. Then you have to chase them for months to get a refund. Customer service does not exist in their culture. Emails or calls dont get replied to.”

“Went to marks and Spencer’s Braehead. I had bought pyjamas for my 90 year old fathers Christmas on 10th December. Returned on 16th January with the pyjamas in all their original packages without them having even been tried on. Asked if I could exchange them for a lighter pyjama as they were too heavy material for my dad. Told I could not get an exchange as I was 6 days out of time. This was the managers decision. Absolutely terrible customer service and shall never buy anything from this store again. The Fort M&S exchanged them without question for me. Thanks to them”

“I was unable to exchange an item as it was out of their date by 3 days. The item I was looking to exchange was still full price on their website , perfect condition and had the price tag attached. I was not looking for money back only to exchange. Didn’t make it to the shop due to illness but they don’t value customers so they couldn’t care less”

“Bought a sports bra with straps that cross at the back. It’s impossible to get it on and add, and I actually got stuck with it on and struggling to get the straps over my head, then after I escaped I put it on over my head and nearly crippled myself trying to do up the straps at the back. But I can’t find a way to leave a product review on their site. It will have to be returned. Useless design!”

“The Plant Kitchen range is a great idea but why put fake meat in and on most of the products. I am vegetarian and dont like the taste and texture of meat so wont eat fake chicken, sausage, beef, pepperoni, bacon etc so about 75% of this range is of no interest to me and many other people. The Pizza would be fine with say mushrooms and not pretend pepperoni. Fake meat is not the answer to a vegan or vegetarian range.”

“Sadly not all my Christmas order was available when I arrived to collect it from in store and no one really cared.The young girl in store had to improvise from the stock instore but wasn't the same item This year I felt the food was very sloppy and the roast potatoes were were grey and looked like they had been in packaging for a few weeks All but one sell by dates were all due by 26th Dec and thankfully i did not buy a turkey as I was disappointed last year. M and s you are advertising exceptional food but I it is not even average I for one will not be ordering Christmas food next year. Nothing in my order was outstanding.”
