  Service and customer care was Poor, very poor. Only one item received - and that differed from website description - and was delivered late!The other item proved to be unavailable, but no communication from John Lewis saying this until non-delivery of item queried! Plus John Lewis even took three days to answer that query, and then only with a limp apology stating that the item was unavailable because it had been 'returned to supplier'? Items ordered as presents, so lateness of delivery and communication (after 10 days, and then only after query) from John Lewis stating order was unavailable left no time to arrange replacements from elsewhere. When queried, only a single line response with a stock apology and made up reason. Poor service and poor customer care, extected better from John Lewis, have a regular shopper at John Lewis for over thirty years, but will give web site store a wide berth from now on!

  The delivery of our wahser-dryer was extremely tedious and time consuming affair. First we ordered the machine from Johnlewis.com mainly because we had found an attractive and convenient delivery time, being without a washing machine for a few days already. So, having placed the order and booked time off work, we received a phone call the day before the scheduled delivery to be told that there had been a "system error" and that the delivery would take place one week later between 08:00 and 14:00.....
