  First time, ordered a sofa online and credit card firm rang to confirm if purchase was authentic. After confirming it was correct, I was told to check with JohnLewis.com. Went back to my account on JohnLewis.com and the order stated it was in progress, the credit card charge had been made and there was no signs of trouble. Waited 7 days for the delivery but it failed to arrive. After over half an hour on the phone it turned out that because I had checked my account online the order was not in progress. Apparently what I should have done is call them. Why would I call a web based company? Eventually got the sofa 2 days later after more phone calls and some heated tempers. Even the customer service case worker admitted the website was misleading. Perhaps I should have called (though I communicate with normal web based companies through the web site) and since they did get it to me 2 days later I thought I would give them another go.
  
  So ordered a dishwasher. 14 days free delivery. Told you will get a phone call to arrange a suitable date within 14 days later. 6 days later no phone call. After 90 mins of phone calls over 4 days, 4 promises to call me back I eventually get a call on day 13 to ask what the problem with the sofa is!!! The next day (day 14) I get a call saying they will deliver it on day 17 - no discussion, no arranging - just 'it will be delivered then'. When I said I need to arrange another day because I work, the guy put me on hold for 10

  We bought this item On line - the delivery service was ok although a 2-9pm time slot was not very convenient!
  However , Returns service rubbish!!!
  When we opened the package, which was a DVD unit,( described as oak solids and veneers) we realised that it did not match the description and it was much cheaper looking than ikea Billy! There was no solid oak and the veneered sides were finished with a paper faced back edge.
  Phoned customer services within 15 minutes of delivery and was told they would contact us to arrange collection. We waited patiently and they never phoned. We had to phone them -several times only to be told their delivery/ collection service is busy ans so we are having to wait two weeks from delivery for it to be collected so it is cluttering up our house!
  Will not deal with them again
