“Next have really, really let me down this year on my Christmas orders. The service has been abysmal and i have been forced to shop elsewhere due to the huge delays in your logistics and the very slow refund and customer service experience from abroad whith which i found very hard to understand due to the language and accent barriers. This experience has really made me question why i should shop at Next in the future and to search for an alternative smoother shopping experience as i do not wish to go through this again in the future at a stressful time which Christmas can be.”

“Shocking experience! Ordered 6 items, delivery due on a Friday. No correspondence, 4 days later rang customer services to ask what has happened. Apparently my parcel was ‘lost in transit’ 7 days previous. Was I informed, no. I then requested a refund for my items but needed to be transferred to another team, who then needed to ‘investigate’ my case. Eventually issued a refund. Huge lack of communication! More like a money making episode as bought on next credit…”

“They just don't care! Ive tried to cancel an order and get a refund as the delivery to store was 6 days, which was too long as I'm travelling before then. Frustratingly I couldn't do this online so I called. They said they had cancelled the order. I've just received an email saying my order has now been dispatched ready to collect in store! So, obviously no refund until I have gone into the store and returned the order, which being out of the country is going to be difficult. When a company doesn't care about the customer anymore, it's really time to shop elsewhere.”

“I was sent some wellies that should have been uk5. They were marked on tag, Insole AND at the bottom of the sole as uk5, I was desperate for them for important walks I need to take so put them on straight away assuming I didn't have anything to be suspicious or worried about and initially thought they were just wide, when I got home my feet were hurting and I decided to use a set of insoles to properly measure them, they were actually a UK size 8. Now I can't return them or wear them, so I have lost money hurt my feet and waisted time on a store I should never of had to worry about being scammed by! Have had no reply from my last response to NEXT. Really bad actually. Not normal or acceptable.”

“Evri who deliver for next online have to be the worst ever in customer care, don’t even bother to order for weekend deliveries ( you won’t get them) I notified next customer services just yesterday to complain, and they totally understand my frustrations with Evri, but what are they doing as a company to rectify the situation for its customers? Nothing, bevause they must be the cheapest option I am now finished with next online”

“On Saturday, 12th October, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new sofa and armchair from Next. However, when the delivery van finally pulled up, my excitement quickly turned to frustration. Two delivery men stepped out, and to my surprise, they informed me that they wouldn't be able to bring in my items due to concerns about potentially blocking the road. I tried to reason with them, pointing out that there were hardly any cars passing by and that they had no trouble parking. But they insisted, mentioning the possibility of emergency vehicles needing access. Their proposed solution of leaving the items on the pavement for someone else to move into my house later was unacceptable to me, especially considering my age and inability to move the items myself. After a heated conversation, they promised that someone from Next would contact me later. When they did, I made it clear that I was not pleased with their handling of the situation. I demanded that they bring the sofa back and that I would find a neighbor to help me with the items. However, they refused, claiming that leaving items on the street was not something they do. We eventually rescheduled the delivery for the 30th of October, with the assurance that a smaller van would be used. It boggled my mind to think about how many other customers' items they may have delivered that day, especially considering that most of their customers likely live in residential areas similar to mine. It felt like the drivers, Richard and Mike, were seeking a cash handout that day, and only then would they have delivered my sofa. I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed I by the whole experience .”

“This company have to have the most incompetent staff going. Having been a customer of theirs for over 15 years, I've been treated appallingly. I've been lied to on several occasions. Messed around with wrong information. Closed an old account as told to do by them, then had endless issues with the new one. I've been promised no less than 3 times calls back from Managers to sort. Promised vouchers that don't work. Spent over 4 hours in calls alone trying to sort the mess they keep creating,plus emails. I was told to send items back, on my old account and be refunded back to my card. I did and now told via email, I can only have a voucher!! I've been left out of pocket, frustrated and extremely angry. I will be going to media over this. Disgusting service and disgraceful way to treat any loyal customer.”

“I thought I should share my experience. Following some brokers on Instagram, I end up losing my saving money and profits. With the help of wikihelpdesks @ gmail .com I was able to retrieve my losse and my money ”

“Horrible custom service. You receive automated email responses that appear to be customer service but don't contain the subject matter in the text, eg, copy pasted for any inquiry. Just word salad with "I'm sorry you feel bad" mixed in it. Due to this, I refused to accept the packages and required them to be returned. It's been over a month and I haven't received all of my money back. Lesson learned.”

“A cancelled item was charged to my account 3 months ago and despite my contacting the help desk and the problem was identified and supposedly rectified it is still listed on my statement for outstanding payment! I don't want to wait to get through to help desk again with a 20 minute wait time feel so frustrated 😕”

“Terrible return policy. You can buy and have items delivered abroad - to Spain - but if you want to return an item - such as a poorly made blazer, whose one side is completely off kilter - you need to pay for the return to the UK! International shipping! What?! I'll NEVER buy at Next again - Zalando also carries their items, and will send you a courier to your door if need be. So thanks for nothing Next. And bye.”

“I had the best shopping experience with Amanda in the next store at the Vanguard Centre in York. I am a wheelchair user and Amanda made me feel very much at ease - without being in the least bit fussy or patronising. She helped me to find items and also colour choices of those items, without any pressure. It was the best shopping experience I have had in a very long time! Thanks Amanda - see you soon!”

“0 ⭐️! As many people already shared, this is a zero stars company with zero stars customer service. Tracking says delivered, there is no package 📦 anywhere, probably they threw it over a fence somewhere else (they’re using the cheapest most horrible courrier service available of course)… if you contact “their” customer service - outsourced in INDIA! - they’ll be telling you for over a week it could be up to 3 days, let’s see how long these 3 days can take! Either way, no refund, no bother to find the package, and will not resend you your items either… so careful if you’re not willing to risk it and see if you actually receive what you’ve paid for…”

“Ordered and paid for 3 items in sale. Email stated would be over 2 weeks delivery. On day due email advising delayed. Next day email received stating items returned and refund given! This never happened. Called Next,adviser said all 3 items damaged in transit so refund sent. Be more transparent please. You took too many orders and never had enough stock. Asked if I could reorder guess what? Not in stock.”

“Bought a nice designer doormat from Next that was described as easily washable. Unfortunately it didn't have a label on the underside warning to only use wool setting so it got damaged. Wanted to order an identical one. Website claims one week delivery yet we've been strung along for 3 weeks now. It's looking more like a drop shipping operation with goods not even being in the UK.”

“Visited Next Store in Victoria Retail Park Grimsby on Sunday 17/3/24. This was to collect some on line orders as well as buy some items from the men's department. I am a wheelchair user and find this store very accessible. The staff are always welcoming and supportive. On this occasion I greeted on arrival and helped by Nina. She was tremendous with her help and advice and it was a real pleasure to shop. Many thanks Nina. Great customer service. Really appreciated. David”

“I had a special event to go to in Cardiff The waistcoat I ordered was too small so I ordered a larger size I was at work when it came but my husband stayed home When I got home the ‘black waistcoat’ was in fact a red dress 😡 it was too late to order it again and the item was no longer in stock ( it was when I ordered it) I rang to complain on Saturday and I’ve still not had a response from Next. I’m so angry and disappointed with Next. Also I could not wear the outfit I’d planned without the waistcoat”

“Never, give Next your email address as unfortunately they will use this as an opportunity to bombard you with advertising emails,(spam) yesterday and today I received their verbiage. They are according to Government Legislation supposed to supply the recipient with a unsubscribe facility,which they do,but accidentally on purpose or otherwise,this doesn’t actually work!.”
