  I purchased a brand new HP laptop (660d) from John Lewis in Bluewater because allegedly both HP & John Lewis have good reputation re reliability & customer service respectively. Not so; after only 3 months of purely average home use, the lettering on the keyboard is coming off. I don't touch type & a keyboard without letters is as much use to me as a chocolate teapot. Pleasantly & reasonably I returned it to the branch from which it was purchased only to be told it might not be repaired as they considered this to be normal wear & tear for 4 months and thus would not be covered by the warranty, nor would John Lewis repair or replace it (given my contract is with John Lewis) if HP themselves refused to do so. I have owned laptops for 20 years or so & have never had lettering coming off. I have not used chemical products to clean the keys, nor do I use hand cream. This little gem was explained by a young 'associate', rather abruptly, certainly not in the manner that I would consider to be expected of a company who pride themselves on having good customer service. The manager whom I requested to speak to also agreed that this was 'normal wear and tear' however he was certainly more professional & expressed it more politely. Are they being serious!!!??

  I ordered a Windsmoor dress from the website and was very impressed with the service. They delivered on time, and the packaging was second to none. The dress was in a green John Lewis suit bag, with a plastic protective bag over that. The quality of the dress was excellent, and the whole experience was a good one. ..
