“Review Next Home Irvine Metal Bed, White( Double) Don't buy this bed frame. Bought this for our guest room and was used by 2 adults for 3 months and the centre support beam bent. The support beam is very weak and the 2 small legs are insufficient to accommodate the weight. The beam bent, the bolts in the 2 legs sheared off. There are no parts available (as per next home). They send a technician out and look for reasons not to warrant their product. I have bought many Next Home products that are of very good quality but very disappointed with this weak bed with no spare parts and they are not prepared to accept any product responsibility, especially considering that the rest of the frame is still in immaculate condition.”

“We've had multiple problems with Next Home. First we ordered a Huxley Painted TV Unit and Coffee table and waited 2 months to find that they were both faulty when they arrived. Chips in the paint, wonky handles, fittings that didnt go together properly and uneven surfaces - not just a dip in the wood but a full on slope!!! Both of those got sent back and replaced, the Coffee table turned up in a couple of weeks but the TV Unit took another 2 months to turn up. Order in early August, finally happy at the end of November. Secondly, we ordered a round mirror with white rim which turned up with a hole in the box as if a mouse had chewed through it. the mirror glass itself came apart from the frame and there was multiple scratches on it too. On both of these issues its clear that Next have little or no quality control process in place and its been a right faff having to arrange collections and reorders, taking time off work and time out of our weekends. Never again Next, never again.......”

“A shame I can't do minus stars! Purchased: Aloft Mattress, super king, 6+ months ago. This will be a long one… Despite the '101 night trial' the issues we are experiencing didn't manifest until a few months in. The mattress is a memory foam type which seems to be the memory of a goldfish! We have experienced collapsing/compression of the foam in the main sleep areas which leaves a noticeable ridge in the centre. The mattress does not spring back in an acceptable period and you find yourself in a ‘rut’ throughout the night. Next sent out an 'independent expert' to assess the mattress who arrived maybe 8 hours after the mattress was last used and did his checks and measurements. His report was sent to Next and I was copied in on their comms (although I know for sure I didn't get a copy of the full report as he showed me his version on his tablet). Their response was that his assessment showed no manufacturing defects and they would take no further action. Although the independent expert highlighted some issues with the bedframe size mis-matched to the mattress (fair enough, but that doesn’t impact on the specific issues we are experiencing) his comments about “wear and tear consistent with it age and use” is laughable… it’s only 6 months old. When we purchased the mattress we had an existing bed base which we mentioned to the staff who didn't suggest it would be an issue. The independent expert suggested the centre support bar was the cause of the ridge - this is a standard bed frame type, and we were not advised to use a divan/other type of base for this mattress by in-store staff or other communications (product literature, etc). Now, perhaps my understanding of a memory foam mattress is incorrect, and my previous memory foam mattress was actually much better quality?? But this mattress is proving for an unsettled night’s sleep. I have provided a comprehensive response to Next regarding the experts assessment and all I get back is the scripted ‘we have had an independent review which suggests no manufacturing fault and we will not be taking any further action’ - not what I’d call a good customer service in recognising and addressing my concerns. I am having rather impersonal and abrupt telephone and email conversations with various members of the customer services team - one accusing me of not emailing them ‘correctly’ (“you did not write ‘FAO HOME TEAM’ in the email and we didn’t get it” despite me quoting the case ref. and never having been told or read that I need to specify that bit!) which is rather stressful. I am now 5 months pregnant and with the poor sleep quality and stress of not being able to get a sensible/personal response to my queries it is starting to get upsetting. That paired with the initial cost of the mattress and the potential loss of that money and of having to pay out again elsewhere for a replacement is very overwhelming. I would advise staying away from this mattress completely, and Bob-forbid you have to deal with their customer services team.”

“Placed an order online and paid for next day delivery. Than I was sent an email the day after saying the all the item I have ordered were out of stock except for a £5 socks. And was told that the £5 socks is on its way and I will be receiving it within 2 working days. Are you fucking serious? I paid for a next day delivery just for a £5 socks”

“I had a 3 pack of white shirts delivered to store, I opened it in front of the staff member, and the 3 dishevelled shirts were in some screwed up plastic bag and not in the next's correct packaging. Obviously been previously returned in bad order and they had the audacity to resend it. I Immediately got a refund and advise customers to open packages in front of staff. Very disappointing.”

“Myself and my Wife, went in to the Next store in Colchester Essex in July 2018 to buy our new sofas, that decision turned out to be the worst one we had ever made considering we had a choice of shops to purchase our sofas from. We paid almost £1,500.00 for a snuggle chair and 2-seater sofa, the sales assistant took our money and told us there would be a 10-week lead in time which was accepted as we were decorating our lounge anyway. After the 10 weeks elapsed I received a text message stating our sofas were ready to be delivered with a date which I accepted. Well the day before delivery I received a phone call telling me the sofas were not being delivered as they were never ordered, I was gobsmacked and asked what the solution was and was told they will need to be ordered again and the wait time was 10-12 weeks. I again accepted this and next said they would loan me a sofa until mine has arrived. I received a loan sofa 9 days after this phone call and had been sitting on beanbags. The delivery team turned up and dropped off the loan and said they couldn’t set it up as there were no legs with the sofa so the just dumped it in my lounge. I phoned Customer services and complained again and was told they would send out a brand new sofa for a loan which I accepted AGAIN, when the delivery team arrived after another week wait they didn’t leave me the new sofa they took the packet off with the legs and fitted those to the sofa that had been in my lounge for a week. I again phoned customer services to complain and chase up my sofa that I had paid for. I was told it had been ordered and was being chased and that someone would update me on a weekly basis on its progress. This never happened the customer service is appalling. I decided to phone the senior management complaints department who were dealing with my complaint to be told the sofas I originally order was not being delivered to their warehouse until mid-December Meaning I would have to wait until after Christmas to receive them. I ordered these in July thats a 6 month wait. We then decided we had enough and that we wanted a refund this was last Friday 19th October and guess what I am still waiting. Never will I use them again. To anyone thinking of buying furniture my advice is think twice before using Next.”

“Appalling customer service - ordered chair which was delivered after 6 weeks without the legs. No follow up communication from them. After several attempts from me order was rescheduled but then not delivered - again no comms - apparently they couldn’t find order so just cancelled it without telling us - will never use again”

“On the 8th September I placed an order at a local store for a Hampton bed & mattress after being told 4 to 6 weeks delivery (by 20th October) and I was asked to pay the full amount of £2040.50p. As the 20th October approached (16th October) I contacted customer services and spoke to a lady giving the name of Holly. She informed me that I would definitely be contacted by the 20th October to arrange delivery and so I waited. The 20th of October came and went and no contact, so on the 22nd October I contacted customer services and spoke to a lady who gave the name of Sonia. After providing my order details I was informed that there was a problem with the supplier and they would not now be able to inform me of when I might receive delivery until at the earliest the 4th December. Next had had my money under false pretence for six and a half weeks knowing full well they could not make the lead time quoted, they apparently require your money 3 to 4 months in advance of providing a potential delivery date. Feeling conned I cancelled the order immediately and have sourced the goods from elsewhere, however, having had my money under false pretence for nearly 7 weeks already, to add insult to injury it apparently take 10 working days for the refund money to be transferred back to your account. It not so much buying good as providing interest free loans to Next, disgraceful disregard for customers and will not be using this business again.”

“I returned an item last Friday to the mens department at Scarborough because it was too small. The assistant was ignorant and didn't mutter a word with no eye contact what so ever. When I got home the item I had changed still had the security tag on it so will have to go back. What terrible service and no wonder the high street is dieing. Another customer lost.”

“Bought 2 sofas in velour fabric. In less than a week parts of the fabric looked like white spots rather than the shading should look. The sofas look 5 years old. Complained to no avail. Next sent two different companies out who sent reports that were different from each other one said it looked like water damaged. The other said not water but pile crush. I think after a week this would be nigh impossible. I have tried to take this further but told nothing they will do case closed. I am so angry. at such arrogance. The sofas cost £1800and under the sale of goods act are not fit for purpose. I am going to take it further as the customer service is appalling. A good customer of Next for years but I will never shop there again nor will my family. I advise anyone not to buy furniture from NEXT or if you have any dissatisfaction with it you’ll be stuck with it. Janet Ball”

“Absolutely ridiculous. Every time you buy something that is in stock next day is not ,there are delays and you wait days and days to come,in most cases you just have to cancel the item. You call "customer service" and all you get from them is to tell you what you already know,they don't know when the item is going to be delivered but is in process. Solution is to cancel,pay again for same item to re-order and hope is going to come much quicker or keep waiting, and keep going back to the store to pick up the order you should have got long time ago. You do not get any help.. Shame on you to treat you long time customer like this. Am done with you Next,this time for real.”

“Poor customer service. They explanation to why they could not deliver an e-display item from the shop was because there policy is not to deliver TO the shop as they don't have storage facilities. It did not make sense, nor did they poor response.”

“Customer Service Call Centre Review of Next above is letting the business down. Telephone operators claiming to be intersted in your question of delivery service is very very poor and very unreliable. From experience, you are better off going into a branch speaking to a person not someone under pressure of answering call after call. Let’s all be honest .... Would You ...”

“Ordered a suit. 2 days later, we are notified that it has been delivered and left by our shed. This despite the fact that we were home all day and do not have a shed. The courier had left the package somewhere else. We eventually received the suit 3 days later. We also bought an additional pair of suit trousers. We pick these up and they are the wrong size. Even though the package states 36R, the trousers show 34R and won't fit. Additionally, we are told they have no stock of 36R. I would not have bought this suit had I known that. Fed up with Next and will never use them again”

“I ordered item online. it was supposed to be delivered to the store for collection. I was not informed that the order is arrived in the store. Item was returned back as uncollected. I was not informed that the item is waiting in the store and it will be returned. When I contacted Next, they were not helpful. They told me I have to reorder the item. I have been waiting for my order for 1 month Very disappointing.”
