If I could rate zero I would. I ordered two PlayStation VR bundles on Black Friday at around £250 each for my sons as their main Christmas presents. I’ve had numerous emails from Zavvi since assuring me that they have been very busy but are working hard to get my order out to me. Then I had an email telling me one of them had been dispatched followed by another email telling me that they have had to cancel the other one as they can’t get any. To make matters worse the one that had been out for delivery has arrived as only a partial order being just one of the games and no headset, so it’s useless to me. I’ve tried to get in touch with Zavvi and the courier for the last two days to no avail. I’m gutted.

My last email to Zavvi. Used to like you but your reluctance to accept you guys made a mistake is horrendous. No only am I cancelling my account but going to make sure I put a few reviews of my experience out there. I have spent hundreds of pounds with you guys and you make me do hours of paperwork for a lost £7 t shirt. It’s a disgrace you are cynically contriving the replacement Service to be as complicated and tedious so people don’t bother or give up. Shame on you Zavvi.

I Cancelled 2 pre orders, only for them to take the money out still (£400) said they can't do anything till I receive it, message them back to say I received it and for them to send a courier to come and collect it, it took 4 days for a reply, and they said the courier is booked I waited in all day and nothing, so I message them again for them to chase up as I want my refund in time for other xmas presents 3 days later here Iam no response and still out of pocket, awful customer service, I've reported to trading standards about there poor service among other things (took about 40 days to get a previous refund for items not delivered) I think everyone should do this so this company can get looked into mabe even shut down and do everyone a favour just look at the poor review after poor review. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

If I could give them -5 stars I would. I placed an order on the 30th September and it still hasn't arrived on 13th December. I can't cancel it because said it's in transit, but they can't provide the tracking information. I've emailed several times and get same email back. "Wait longer". Worst customer experience ever, and at 45 that's saying something. I've had orders from China quicker.

Ordered a Nintendo Switch bundle during black Friday. After lots of chasing, I've had to give up. They never intended to ship my item. I think they just wanted to sell me some other bits that I bought at the same time, all the time knowing they wouldn't be shipping the Switch. What was really interesting is that the continued to advertise the Switch as available, all the time telling me that it was unavailable. If you type Zavvi reviews in to Google you'll see that many customers are having a similar experience to mine. I've asked the European Consumer Centre to look in to their practices. I think they're behaviours are very suspect and the throng of customers identifying similar problems tells me there's no smoke without fire. Avoid this company or risk being very frustrated through your shopping experience.

Absolute JOKE! Customer service is absolutely shocking. Take your money for weeks, with apparently no intention of providing the goods. Steer clear!

Made a £219 purchase, order stated delivery within the week. They didn't even have the item in stock, they keep telling me they will inform me when they have despatched the item. They don't listen to your complaints they just fob you off with a standard reply of "we are having issues in our warehouse". It seems almost impossible to get a refund. Total sham company

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THESE THIEVES! They employ absolute FOOLS in their Customer (NO) Service, who pump out generic emails in response to genuine questions about missing items. They are fraudulent in that they take your money but refuse to provide any proof of shipment and then keep changing the timeline for delivery or get another one of their monkeys to reply as if it is the first time they've ever heard of your complaint. No one answers their office phone - goes straight to message - no one replies from the email address they quote in the voice message and the feedback email they provide on their website bounces back as unknown. DODGY AF - DON'T DEAL WITH THEM !!!

Ordered item that was listed in stock. Took my money. Gave an estimated despatch date. Came and went. Still processing. Contacted to ask if there was a problem, to which they said that the supplier is waiting for stock, which they didn't know when it would be. I told them that lying to customers to get their money and advertising in stock, is totally not on. Asked for a refund as there are plenty else where, which they refused. Then they said it is in stock in their warehouse, and is waiting to be sent. Now it is not in the warehouse, and they still don't know when it will come to them. Laughable really.

Shocking company..avoid like the plague. Unable to contact as they have no telephone number. How can they accept an order, take the money and then demand that you send them via email a bank statement to verify your address and also a ID photograph???? It appears to me that they are in the business of collecting personal details for their own benefit. They have no contact details other than online forms. Why are they shy at providing a contact telephone number??? Thank goodness my bank has blocked them from ever taking money from my account.

Ordered 2 hoodies on offer, 2 months later and we are still waiting for them to arrive. They are suggesting I put Maldives as my home location, I wish I live in Yorkshire! Company refusing to refund suggesting I have to wait for the parcel to get back to them. I would never recommend anyone ordering anything from them. Their customer service is atrocious.

I preordered an item and two months after its release, I am still waiting. Isn’t the point of a preorder to receive on its release date?
