“As a loyal Very customer I had to write to advise you of a serious complaint. I ordered some Converse trainers. They arrived today and they were secondhand! There was mud on the soles and on the white trim around the trainers. They had obviously been worn. I was appalled that a company like yours is sending out secondhand trainers claiming they are new. I would be interested on what you think of this and how I will be compensated? Deborah Carter ladydeborah@talktalk.net”

“Ordered 3 items from very forgot to use voucher code, ordered the same items 5mins after the first order using £25 off code when u spend £50. All items arrived on the same day, collected and returned what I had doubled up on, not realising that it would matter which order I sent back as items were identical. They removed the £25 voucher from my account and now require me to pay in full. So I called to enquire about this only to be cut off after waiting 16mins and 18mins on each call both at 35p per min. Called back, this time said I wanted to place an order.... Surprise surprise my call got through straight away! Put through to an advisor who told me that they could not honour the £25 off code as I returned the item! I explained 301 times I had kept items worth £82 on the same order but because I had returned the item I had used the code on they could not honour it. How pathetic!!!!! 30 mins later..... She still couldn't do it. So now I'm paying the £25 plus another £20+ I will be charged for making the stupid call..... Oh and a late payment charge of £12 because I paid my bill 2 days earlier than my statement date so it didn't count as a November payment. Paid the balance and closed my account... Never again!!!!”

“Ordered an item and a delivery estimate was given but wasn't delivered. Very failed to inform me the payment hadn't been taken because of lack of stock. I was informed to pick another version of the item I wanted but instead purchased from another retailer. Won't be shopping with Very again.”

“When everything runs smoothly all is well. Have a problem and their customer service is virtually non existent. They don't respond to email and their foreign call centres are a joke. Time to give up and take my business elsewhere.”

“Appalling customer service. Trying to return an item but no one wants to know, yet I've been charged for it with little indication that anyone is dealing with it. I've tried to call in several times and have had the phone put down on me. The staff are simply rude and inexperienced. Avoid using Very for anything!”

“This company as the worst customer service I’ve had ever come across. I purchased a HP BEAT computer and an Apple laptop in August 2015 on their 10% cash back offer which should have been refunded to me in Oct 2015 After 20 calls to their customer service department and several emails I have now been told the goods I ordered were not on the offer. I checked at the time to make sure the goods were on the offer, despite this they are refusing to refund the money. I feel I have been cheated!!!”

“Made an order using groupon voucher. Order arrived quickly - all good. Wanted a refund and it is like a mission on mars. Called 6+ times and every time received a different response from each customer service agent - at least they are creative. Basically, still no refund. If they can't even complete simple tasks I hate to think if I had a bigger issue. Will never deal with again regardless of how easy the front end sale was - not worth the time and plenty of competitors out there who will provide you the goods and service.”

“Ordered American Fridge Freezer mid September...continuous broken delivery promises...involved time off work etc. Cancelled item in writing...no acknowledgement received re cancellation. Item never delivered. Now they want £1000 !! After many many phone calls, hours spent on the phone, I learn tonight that not a note of reference has been made on my notes regarding my complaints. This company is an absolute nightmare, a complete Mad House. The person I spoke to tonight cannot get through to ''Check and Trace' who are the only people who can help apparently. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY !”

“Horrific customer service, Provided faulty electrical item, sent me round in circle saying its not their problem but manufactures. Than got engineer to confirm its faulty. Several collection dates failed to turn up. than when they did they lost my returned faulty item. Now will be charged for it and they only hold records that make sure they don't refund customers.”

“Absolutely appalling company! Was a customer for years, tried to return something, phoned up just to innocently enquire why it has been returned to me unfortunately, spoke to the most rudest moronic individual I've ever known, she was such a sarcastic, condescending cow! Wouldn't know what customer service was if it bit them in the arm pit! Didn't get anywhere! What done it for me was when returned two items, received an email and txt stating they received it, checked my account a month later and I noticed the credit hadn't been credited back to my account. Got told I needed a receipt of proof! Totally idiots! Told them we're passed that, as they received them, unfortunately I didn't keep txt from them month prior, and my emails get deleted after a month if nothing's done with them. Didn't get anywhere with that! So I paid £50 for no reason! Con artists! I have since paid what the balance was and asked for account to be closed as I'm not paying another penny to these idiots! And they STILL haven't done it after a week, total idiots!”

“This is quite frankly the worst company I have ever come across. Whilst there might be some people who have had a good experience with them, there is large amount of people that have had terrible service. In brief, I ordered a shelving unit from them which despite being told was going to turn up on a saturday (and I had to wait in 12 hours with my 2 young children to be sure was here to receive it), it didnt come. Took several calls to find out when it was arriving and that was subsequently 48 hours later. I then tried to complain about this and it took 2 emails and 3 phonecalls before I could speak to a Manager who gave me £4 postage credit! I then opened the box to put it together a week after purchase and there were no screws... just bits of wood. So again it took numerous calls and emails to 'apparently' sort this out and because I had spent more than 1.5 hours on various phonecalls they gave me a credit of £20 and assured me the screws would be with me in a few days. Over 2 weeks later and no screws still so I phone again only to be told they couldnt order them as they needed part numbers (which as it turned out the screws didnt have). No one had obviously phoned in the meantime to let me know! I asked for 2 call backs from Managers to complain again and didnt get 1 call back. The third time I kicked up such a fuss they put me through to someone. He said they still couldnt send the screws, I had to be sent the entire shelving unit again and then take out the screw pack and send it back! How bloody ridiculous! It also meant I had to be in on 2 different delivery dates to be able to receive and then send of the package... and given that I am a single parents that works, its really difficult to re-arrange my day to be in. So the latest is that I was assured 3 days ago the new unit would be here today between 7 and 12 so I arranged to work from home and cancelled 2 meetings..... and yet again it hasnt arrived (and wont be coming either)!! .....another wasted day of waiting and no idea now when I can be around for a new delivery date... So bloody frustrating and 4 weeks of stress so far! Which I had read the reviews first before ordering from them! Rant over!”

“Awful company, bad customer service and no people skills. Ordered a bed and wardrobe for my 4 year old son. Paid £20 to have delivered Saturday. The bed turned up but only half of the wardrobe so they took the full order back leaving my son with no bed for 4 nights. Bed finally arrived, no update on wardrobe. Drivers knew nothing about it. After 5 long phone calls to very I still have not had an update. Very angry as was promised calls back, never got them. Customer service is diabolical, messaged them n Facebook and they said we are an online based company so cannot contact you via the telephone, yet their happy for you to waste your money tirelessly ringing them. Avoid using very, I am currently writing to trading standards”

“I saw an advert on TV for very and thought I'd give their website a look. Within a couple of minutes I thought I'd found the perfect present for my mums Christmas, all was not to be. Ordered the product, it was £28 including delivery it came to £31.99. Paid for it all on the Monday and they said it would be delivered on Wednesday. I was very happy with the time it was going to take p to be delivered. However on the Wednesday j received a phone call and text to say the parcel was delayed but that it was still a priroty. Waited two weeks, heard nothing. Then got an email to say the parcel was despatched, one week later and Yodel had said they hadnt received it. I emailed customer service, two days later they respond to say they've forwarded my enquiry. I then see I've been refunded the £28 for the item, with no explanation as to why, what's happening with the product. Then email them again to ask for the delivery charge to be refunded along with an answer as to why I'm not getting the product. Email back twenty minutes later, saying they have refunded the 3.99 but absolutely no answer to my question about the product. The worst customer service I have ever experienced while shopping online. I wish I had reviews beforehand and I will certainly not be ordering from Very ever again in the future. Absolutely terrible! How on earth are they still trading?”

“Be Warned! The laptop you receive is not the laptop described and the very.co.uk policies are terrible. I received a laptop with 1366×768 and not the 1920x1080 resolution as described twice in the details. Instead of replacing the laptop with the correct one, I have to wait for a refund (in over 2 weeks time!) and then re-order the laptop in the hope they actually send the advertised model (because a week later they still cannot verify it)...I will never be purchasing from Very again. And one other thing - they don't post negative reviews as mine have been declined.”

“I will never order anything from Very and would suggest to others not to either. I ordered very expensive clothes for a wedding, I paid for next day delivery and I paid extra to be able to choose the time. So I stayed in, had a text that they had been delivered to a "safe place" and so searched my garden to find that this so called safe place was on top of my bins, outside of my garden, on the main road which also happens to be down a long flight of steps. This happened 3 times because the parcels all arrived at different times and certainly not "next day" like I paid for. When I called all I had was a lot of attitude and told if I need the items now that I'll need to reorder them again and pay for next day delivery again. I refused and luckily the order turned up the next day. I'm yet to be refunded the next day delivery cost, and have recently received an item I had forgotten about because I ordered it weeks ago! Terrible customer service and an even worse delivery service.”
