  I bought a Siemens dishwasher online because John Lewis offered a free five year guarantee. The dishwasher cost £435.I had to go online to John Lewis after purchase to register. This sent me to the Siemens website which was useless and would not accept the registration. I contacted Siemens on five occasions over the next six weeks to chase up my guarantee. Each time I was told it would be sent,by post and email, but I never received it. I emailed John Lewis and told them what happened and that I was getting nowhere with the guarantee registration. As John Lewis offered the guarantee on their website at time of purchase, I asked them for help. I received a short email back saying that it was nothing to do with them. I thought at least they would have contacted Siemens on my behalf. I was very surprised and will not be using the so-called trusted John Lewis name again. Nearly two months on and I have no guarantee. Siemens customer service is rubbish too

I tried to say that I thought that there was a quality control problem as the furniture was well packaged and I believe damaged and not checked for being put together properly before leaving the manufacturing warehouse but no one really cares. I thought I would give them another try, thinking that the same fiasco could not happen again but I was wrong. Having just ordered a Maharani 5 drawer chest, I had to laugh otherwise I would have cried when the delivery guys said they had unwrapped the chest and that the bottom was falling off. They took that away and I was told customer service would phone me. When I did not hear anything I called them by phone and email explaining what had happened. I then got an email giving me a returns number for collection of the first chest and that a second chest would be delivered at the same time. I phoned and emailed again to say that I did not have the first chest and was assured th
