“I tried to order a children's slide from your website on 5.9.16. For some reason your website would not allow me to order this. So I phoned your customer services and spoke to Bongi. I explained the problem and she was very happy to help me. When I passed my bank details on to Bongi, I asked when my slide will be delivered to me. She was very confused as to what slide. Bongi didn't actually order anything for me, but took £49.99 out of my bank. I requested a refund and asked for a confirmation email to say my money will be back in my bank. Bongi informed me the refund will take 4-10 working days. I still hasn't received the email, so I phoned again and spoke to Carl on 6.9.16. I explained the problem, again, and said I want a confirmation email for my refund. Carl, same as bongi said he will send me an email and apologised for any inconvenience. Carl also told me the refund will take 4-10 working days. I, again, still haven't received an email, so I phone yet again, and spoke to Carol on 8.9.16. I asked to speak to a supervisor or someone higher up, so I can get this resolved. I wasn't able to talk to anyone. Carol then informed me that the very company do not issue out any emails. I requested a letter, to tell me the refund will be in my bank in 4-10 working days. Carol then informed me that the refunds take 10-14 working days. I am so frustrated by this whole process. I had money taken out of my bank, and no slide. I was given all the wrong information, and I wasn't able to talk to anyone higher up. I am disgusted with how the customer service team is ran. So I would like you to email me back with regards to me refund please. I am a very unsatisfied customer.”

“I am being charged interest on a buy now pay later account which shouldn't have interest. I have nothing on take 3 account and still receive invoice asking for minimum payment or take 3 amount of £5 each? Have tried paying these to stop interest & still they charge me? Emailed customer services 1 week ago. Got generic e-mail stating that I would be contacted in 24 hours, still not had a reply. Sham customer service.”

“Had charges on my account for goods/interest that should not have been there. Customer services said account was not interest bearing & I had fees to pay. I disputed & heard the customer service advisor tell her colleague I was a cow. Asked to speak to manager to then be magically told not free but I was right the charges were incorrect & the manager would call me back. No call back, placed comment on Facebook & was told not acceptable but still nothing back. Awful & I won't ever be ordering from an organisation who can charge you over £55 for goods/interest that shouldn't be charged & think it's acceptable to lie about why the charges happened & call me a cow for arguing my point.”

“Absolutely appalling customer service. Would not recommend anybody signs up for an account with Very. Ordered a few items that I definitely paid of monthly to be then told my account was in arrears because I had missed payment (which I didn't) I then rang up to query this and was told that it was a mistake on there side and I was in false arrears and the arrears amount will be cleared within 24 hours. This wasn't cleared and received letters, text messages and emails demanding I make a payment. Called up again to question as to why I was told this was but cleared and hadn't. Basically this has been going on from May and the arrears still hasn't been cleared after being told from atleast 4 different very staff that this was definitely in false arrears and wasnt a mistake I had made. Resulted in me putting a complaint in and sending a letter to Very to explain how disgusted I am in there customer Service. Seriously never known anything like it! Always get told that you will get a call back and never do but there so quick to ring you when there chasing you for money. Absolute joke. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A VERY ACCOUNT!!!”

“I ordered a mattress form the is company, they stated that it would be 7-10 days delivery this turned into two weeks, i was not overly bothered by this. It due for delivery on the 28th. I organised my mother to sit in and wait for delivery as i was at work that day on a 14 hour shift. I received confirmation that the product would be delivered between 7-9 by arrow xl and live tracking would be available on the day. My mother had arranged to have my two young cousins who she was baby siting be dropped at my house, they were dropped off at 08.40, they had not had much to eat as they thought they would only be there max 30mins -1hour so only had snacks with them. By 10.50 no mattress - so contacted very, very rude telephone staff kept me on hold for 25minutes while they tried to sort the problem, i gave up and call them back. I was then greeted by and equally rude staff member who stated that they do not give out times for delivery -basically stating i was lying - i asked at this point if i could rearrange the delivery as i wanted my mom to take the kids home for something to eat. they stated i could not and that the delivery company would call me 30minutes before and i could cancel at that point and then i would have to call back to rearrange a time. The delivery team never called the whole day and the mattress was not delivered. As it turned out on speaking to very the next day, the mattress was not on the truck or due to be delivered or in fact was in the warehouse at all. When i call very the next day , i did actually speak to a nice customer service lady called Angela who actually said sorry for the service i received ( first one to do it) and gave a direct free number to the delivery company - who did not answer the phone and kept me on hold and i never actually spoke to anyone at all because the wait times were stupid due to high call volume - i imagine from all the complaints they were receiving from disgruntled customers. After numerous emails between me and very they have actually refunded my delivery charge - after i showed photographic evidence that they do actually give out times via a text message and email so i was in fact not lying. the saga had a happy ending somewhat i received another text from the company who had arranged another delivery date without consulting me of the 2nd ( lucky i was off work ) and it has now been delivered. The service and care that received from very was not good , the customer service staff where rude and unhelpful ( except Angela) the company they use to deliver are impossible to get hold and un reliable i would not recommend them to anyone. I have paid off my account and will be closing it, this is the first last and only time i will use very services.”

“This company is an absolute disgrace and should not be allowed to trade, my 3 year old daughter has not been able to sleep in her bed for over four weeks now because they decided not to deliver her mattress and now my wife has constantly been told for four weeks that they will be back in touch in 24hours every time she contacts them, she has now also been told her email is in a queue and will be dealt with when they get to it, is this so called queue FOUR weeks long and does this queue help my 3 year old daughter actually get the chance to sleep in her own bed tonight!?!?!?!? Or is this just your delaying tactics hoping we will give up and accept that we've paid for a mattress but are never going to actually receive it. VERY you are an absolute joke and I will be seeking legal advice if this is not rectified and my daughters mattress delivered within the next five working days.”

“I have been a customer with very for the last 10 years and would purchase all my house appliances from them and can state that I have given more than £10,000 of business to very. I have purchased a Fridge Freezer last week and it was delivered to me as damaged on the right side of it which I only noticed once it's been brought to my first floor flat. However it is just the outer layer and it is working normally. I called customer service to inform them and because I just and baby 5 days ago, informed them that I don't want to go through all of the hassle of returning and re delivering and if they can offer at least £30.00 off the original price and 'Nabila', who is the worst customer adviser by the way just happens to give me a 5% discount which amount to £9.00 only. This is a disgrace for a company like very, and for sure you have lost a lifelong customer. Very rude customer advisers who will either get annoyed with customer, interrupt or being sarcastic to customer. I would never recommend anybody to purchase from very anymore.”

“I tried to call today to allocate a payment and the woman that answered the phone seemingly couldn't hear me so I called back to the phone being answered to 3 women hysterically laughing down the phone and then got hung up on so I thought I would try one more to be cut off! Very frustrating and such rude people working for very as soon as I have made my last payment I will not be purchasing anything from very again because of the way I was treated!”

“Very customer services is non existent. It's true they cut you off. the managers don't come to the phones if u ask to speak to one. I've had no joy with them trying to help resolve my enquiry because they don't attempt and don't answer to any of your questions asked,no empathy no apology given either. the staff aren't well trained or competent and I don't understand why all phone calls are recorded when they don't give a damn about in the manner an advisor has dealt with your enquiry and they don't take complaints seriously. I work in a call centre it's come in the top 5 in the uk for customer service. very isn't customer focused. They don't attempt to re-gain the trust of a disappointing customer. I think they are going down hill and the staff used could be outsourced so it's cheaper labour. This is why they aren't trained and coached and developed like most other uk based call centres. Maybe that's why very don't take matters seriously. they certainly don't treat customers fairly.”
