“NIGHTMARE OF A SERVICE! If there was negative star I'd select that!. Basically, we ordered a couch, waited 12 weeks (which was fine) only to be delivered the wrong one, called and complained, said they'd deliver the right one this time. 7weeks later, the promised delivery date was wrong, waited a whole day for it. came in the next day during unholy hours, DHL delivery boys just dumped it on our living room with the old, wrong couch, quite in a hurry to get out, don't do assemblies, and my place is a mess. Point of the story: get your logistics right, get your communications right, learn from DFS why don't you? I talked to different personnel with different accents, goes to show that there is no efficient HQ operation. Just being passed around and as a customer experience, it really left a bad taste in my mouth. Staff were polite but not good enough. Assemble your damn furniture! Don't get third party courier who's in a rush to dump furniture. Product was great when we saw it. In hindsight not even worth it in the end.”

“Poor poor service Paid for a few items online, returned them back to store and they said the money would be back in my account within 3-5 days! 7 days later no refund- contacted next Live chat agent as slow as a mouse at replying then told me they refund the money back to my next pay account as that’s there terms and conditions! Pardon! I paid by bank card and not by next pay so why put me in credit on account but not give me my money back Ask for a manager told they will check been on hold 15 mins on chat! Absolute shambles”

“We recently purchased a Sofa from Next (order number 24644293) and have been absolutely appalled by the level of service we have received. My girlfriend and I decided to purchase from Next over other competitors as we believed they were a respectable company, however I wish we went elsewhere. The sofa had a 9 week estimated delivery which we were fine with, however it ended up being delivered 12 weeks later. We were sent a letter through the post a day before the 9 week delivery date, to say there had been a delay and were told it will be with ourselves a week later. A week later arrived and we rang to see where it was, however the sofa apparently failed its quality check and would be delayed a further 2 weeks. When the sofa was finally delivered, there were not enough legs packed and therefore the delivery men could not install our sofa, which is a coincidence on the basis it passed its quality check. Instead we had to wait for more legs to be delivered and install the legs ourselves. We were guaranteed by one of the managers that we would receive a large financial adjustment for the inconvenience, however we have only received £50 as an apology....3% of our total order value! I cannot believe a reputable company like Next is able to get away with treating customers like this. I would strongly advise customers to stay well clear of purchasing furniture from Next.”

“My daughters shoes were faulty but they would not accept them back as I did not have the receipt. As I wasn’t planning on returning them we didn’t keep it and sadly for once I paid cash. I now have a faulty pair of shoes and have wasted £18. Their returns policy is the worst I have ever heard of”

“If I could leave zero stars - I would. I ordered a leather suite, in store May 2018. There was a 12 week delivery period. One week before delivery, Next phoned to tell me they no longer used the supplier so my order was no longer available (note. The suite is still able to be purchased though!) I was given the offer of a different suite online. Sadly, I chose the Stratus, a double settee, a right hand chaise and a snuggle seat. They were delivered in August. In September our first technician visit - a manufacturing fault in the chaise causing the armrest to become hard and leaning on wood while the back rest had lowered. A replacement was delivered in late September. In November another technician this time for the double settee, Pigment lifting along seam in centre of seats, another settee replacement delivered in December. In January another technician visit, because of new chaise sofa - no manufacturing fault but backrest is lowered and to be expected after 2-3 years.... it’s 4 months old at this time. August 4th technician visit, armrest is like leaning on wood, no back support and he states it’s not fit for the purpose, cardboard internal supports have broken (cardboard!!) and backrest had lowered significantly which is expected over time - the settee is now 10 months old. Replacement parts will be fitted.... in NOVEMBER! I want my money back, as per Next refund policy if item is not fit for the purpose, it’s not. It’s shoddily manufactured, uncomfortable, 4 technician visits in 10 months, family disruption, my time disrupted, not just for technicians but for pick up and deliveries. 2 replacement settees and 1 internal repair. How long before next technician has to come? My guess is a month. Customer Service is “so sorry there’s nothing we can do”. £3750 down the toilet. Don’t buy a suite from Next.”

“The quality of the furniture is very poor and follow up customer service virtually non existent unless you are prepared to spend hours calling them. I have been offered what amounts to £15.00 as compensation following a catalogue of errors and poor quality ptoduct deemed not fit for purpose by Next's own engineers.”

“f I could give zero stars I would If I could give zero stars I would. This is probably the WORST customer service I have ever received. I placed order for a new sofa, loveseat and footstool at the end of March 2019 with a 12 week delivery time....I’m still waiting and now being told it might be November but they can’t be sure. Every month it’s put back because of issues with the supplier yet twice Next have attempted it deliver half of my order. They were told multiple times before hand that I don’t want it but persisted anyway making threats to charge me £30 if I didn’t accept half of my order or that it would get lost or damaged in their warehouse. They obviously don’t want it take up space in their storage and want me to start paying for an incomplete set. Their customer services are a complete farce. They should probably take some training courses about communication and returning calls to their customers. Absolutely disgraceful for what is supposed to be a reputable company. Bunch of GREEDY PIGS”

“We ordered a sofa in a next store, were told delivery would be 6 weeks. That time has passed and we got a letter saying it was delayed and “more likely to be around” another 6 weeks. Far too long to wait, we need something to sit on! Rang to cancel, no apology and they didn’t sound surprised. Off to order from another company.”

“The “Next” online nightmare...I ordered 10 items totalling £451 on Next website. I decided to return all the items from both orders since some were incorrect and the others were unsuitable. After many days I received an email from Next saying they have received three items and my refund will be £64 At this point it was clear Next's online order management system was completely defective since they failed to recognise I returned all 10 items from both orders. According to my call log, I have spent 131 minutes talking to Next customer service...and despite my efforts they continually fail to process my refund. During this process they have made GDPR violations by requesting screenshots of my bank account. The customer service can't even tell me which items they have refunded...thats how bad Next's online order systems have become. I will be submitting a report to the Trading Standards, since this online retail behaviour is completely unwarranted.”

“I am 75 years old and so have had several sofas over my time, but this sofa is the worst I have ever had. Purchased early May and not cheap at £1700 the Portia corner sofa is very uncomfortable. Unless you sit right on the middle of a cushion, you will slide off to the side and end up sitting in a dip. I cannot wait to get rid of it. (This was ordered for me by a family member, as I was out of the country at the time. Order number 2432 4705)”
