“STAY AWAY FROM VERY!! ordered 3 items, earrings, clutch bag & aftershave. earrings are fine, I was sent a cabello shoe polish kit instead of a cabello clutch bag & the aftershave was broken. Returned the 2 items yet still waiting on a refund. Once you finally get through the automated service (never have i had the choices so prolonged, urging you to shop online with Very...funny really because you've clearly already done this or you wouldn't be on the customer care line!) Anyway you've lost the will by the time you connected to an operator... long and short of it - they cant find my returns! Nor can they find the tracking info & to make matters worse i tried to post a review on their site regarding the items and was advised it doesn't meet their criteria - so you're clearly not allowed to list the facts if they're not in Verys favour. So glad i found this review page, wish i had seen it before ordering! As per other reviewed below, something definitely wrong within their warehouses...can't get the right orders out, can trace the incoming returns !!!???!!! But happy to hold onto your money....BE AWARE”

“Every time I return items I am calling weeks after chasing where they are. Last time they open a case to look into this and the very next day I got an email stating my items had now been returned. I assumed this had been on the back of my call so thought nothing more. 2 weeks before Xmas I start making orders all which are not going through. I call up and was told it was because of a prior dispute. They finally took the blocker off and allowed me to order. 5 days later all my orders cancelled again. I call up to ask to speak to a manager and I'm spoken to a very rude girl. I hado ask her 5 times to stop raising her voice at me. When I was explaining my issue she would just sit in silence for ages ignoring anything i would say. 40 minutes later no further forward. 30 minutes of holding. Company are a shambles.”

“Returned 5 items from an order all in one parcel over two weeks ago. Four items credited but still waiting on 5th item to be refunded. Rang call centre and I could not understand a word the Indian operative was saying. She was really rude and just kept repeating the same sentence which was no English I've ever heard before. If you have to use a foreign call centre for English customers please can you ensure you hire people who can actually speak English and whose accent isn't so heavy that it's completely unclear what they are saying. Also encourage them to cheer up a bit when dealing with customers.”

“Let down very badly when an order went missing. Told they were out of stock and couldn’t supply but it was too late to get a replacement anywhere else. Offered £8 compensation. Disgraceful!!!”

“This is the third time Very has failed with my Orders and Returns. In the Summer they stated they didn't receive my parcel which I returned ...my fault I didn't keep my proof of return ..AND have to pay for items I returned. I thought I'd try again.. .now in December my latest two parcels ..one should have contained a Very Coat which it did not...instead it contained ITEM which I didn't order... and the other parcel which I returned is only partially returned on my account. I contacted Very through the query page...poor response I now have to try customer care team and highlight everything again. There is something fundamentally wrong with their distribution and returns section!!! It is slow and basically very poor . I don't know where these returns packages are going??? Why they aren't being fully credited returned to customers accounts. MY ADVICE SHOP WITH CAUTION AND KEEP YOUR RECIPTS FOR EVERYTHING YOU RETURN TO THIS COMPANY Between Very and Yodel its a case of buyer be ware.. I'm an going to close my very account if I get this sorted they are very poor with their returns etc its not worth the hassle or paying for items you have returned !!I have been with NEXT for 15/20 years and they are EXCELLENT in comparison.”

“Very How do you feel knowing so many customers are unhappy with your service? You first ripped me off 5 years ago by not issuing my refunds.. these refunds were errors your company made in the first place. I was told for two years they were refunded on the account. The account that you cannot see what you have even ordered properly... then one day I finally found out that you had not refunded me at all and all the interest had piled up on items I didn't even have! And you are still doing this to 1000s of people. I will be making sure anyone who has been frauded by you reports you to trading standards.”

“Purchased goods, weren't as described. Returned following day, parcel lost in their hub. Been 11 days since returning and now saying the refund wont be processed for another 15 days despite the website clearly saying 3-5 days. Furthermore the customer service team hung up on me and were laughing amongst themselves behind the phone. The only thing Very thing here is very bad service. Wouldn't recommend if buying on a whim.”

“I ordered a hotpoint fridge from very in July and it broke in September. I have had 4 engineers out and they can’t fix the problem! Hotpoint are refusing a refund and very do not want to know. Everytime i ring up i get passed around different departments and no one wants to resolve the problem. Me and 3 children have been left without a fridge for 3 months now!”

“Saw a good laptop and Bought it on black Friday, 26th of November. I already had a laptop that I had purchased through John Lewis and decided to cancel my order and do business with Very as I could get a further discount if I opened a very account and bought it through their 'Buy now pay later' scheme as money has been really tight for me this year. Order got delayed around 2-3 weeks and was scheduled to be delivered by the 13th of December, which was fine because it was a Christmas present for my son anyway. I now receive an email 2 weeks later after placing the order saying that my order has been cancelled by them as they are unable to re-stock it even though I bought it when it was fully stocked?! It's now 2 weeks until Christmas I have No Christmas present and absolutely no deals are available as I have now missed out on all black Friday and cyber Monday deals and everything is out of stock everywhere due to these sales. Well done Very! You have ruined my sons Christmas. I just wanted to make it good for him after a difficult year. I will be closing my account down with Very as soon as I receive my refund and i urge anyone thinking about doing business with this company to AVOID!”

“Very owe me a lot of money, due to my account being closed they are refusing to help or give me back my money. We are just under 2 weeks till Christmas and I am out of pocket by over £230. I have chased this for over a month. I have made a complaint no response. I have been told that because the accounts closed I would not be able to have my money back. Still haven’t received a penny to date”

“They are an absolute nightmare. Really waste your time and very poor english - tried to arrange collection three times and three times they never turned up. Arranged further time off work to arrange delivery and still not one arrived. There are far more reliable companies to shop with. This company dont even care about their negative reviews. They cant do - look and see how many there are! They dont deserve any custom. Dont say you have not been warned. We cant all be wrong!”

“Terrible customer service, totally incompetent. We purchased a bed only for the wrong colour to arrive. Tried contacting delivery company and very to get it returned and ended up getting charged for a 2nd bed that hasn’t arrived. Contacted them to get that taken off our account and instead of taking it off like they said they would, they’ve added the price of a third bed. Currently sitting with the wrong colour bed that we have paid triple for which has put us over our credit limit. Shocking.”

“Worst company I ever purchased from, never ever again. Please do not order from them. i purchased an I phone it was faulty so I returned it 14 days ago. Still no refund or even any E mail to say they have received it back. when you call customer services it takes hours to speak with a manager. They just keep saying wait 14 more days! its was £630! They are holding the phone and my money such a s show! I wish I had seen these reviews before purchasing! I am on hold as I write this and its been 40 minutes trying to get a manager in customer services! Extremely frustrating!!!!!!!”
