I have spent several weeks now trying to get Next to refund £24 for a bra I bought online and returned. Eventually I discovered that the reason for their delay, Next had accidentally deleted my account, and consequently all evidence of this order. But I have the emails from Next of the original order, and of the return being collected.
Twelve days ago, Next customer services took my bank details and claimed to have made a transfer of the £24 refund they owe me. But the money has still not arrived in my account. Clearly they never made the transfer. What on earth are they playing at?! I am frankly at my wits end! Leaving negative feedback here seems to be the only way to get their attention.
Used for the 1st and LAST TIME. Ordered 3 items, with a very short time I received an email saying that 2 of the items had been sent to the wrong depot, and they had refunded my delivery charge as an apology. Ok seems fair I thought. Except I have not received a refund and my emails questioning what has happened and why have not been answered. Do yourself a favour and shop elsewhere as I will be doing in the future. Sadly a minus option is not available for the rating
Went into next in Southend on Friday to do some Christmas shopping. The young lady that served me was Rebecca. She was a star so helpful and pleasant nice to see an assistant actually smiling.Went above and beyond
Next make it next to impossible ( no pun intended) to return in person because their website list stores that do not take returns ( most London stores listed are Reiss where you can collect an order but can't return, you only find this out once you have made the trip! As the website is wrong. So you will pay for delivery of clothes AND you will pay more if you want to return. And if you ring their customer services, you will get through to someone who speaks poor English and had less knowledge about how to return than you do. So don't bother go elsewhere
This is first time I've shopped with next online £110,it's been worst shopping experience ever had,staff are polite but lie,they don't know where parcel is they don't know when if it will be delivered, worst of all they've sent me several updates on delivery which have been made fantasy, 7 times I've had to phone next each time polite but haven't a clue when where goods are when if will be delivered, of course I will never buy from next again,and their choice of courier evri is hopeless more incompetent lies, both do not deserve honest customers,maybe they mean to be good,but can't carryout tasks they have to do,all this is total lack of care for customers.,tomorrow if no delivery after 8 days waiting I will need to request refund.
Ordered a waistcoat for my wedding. Image was a double breasted waistcoat with a floral pattern on the back. What was delivered was a single breasted waitcoat with a plain back and pattern on the inside.
Spoke to customer services and their only solution was "we will refund you a discount to keep the one you have"...
30 mins later we chcked the website again and they had marked them all out of stock. Sneaky, lying you know whats... funnily enough the only other review is a one star from someone else who bought the same thing 3 days ago same day as us
Firstly, my apologies as I should have written this last year December. Thank you so much Maxine - Next store West Bromwich, for locating my parcel which I collected and when I arrived home; couldn't find it. Tried to track my steps and came back to the store and told they couldn't find it. Much appreciated that you took the trouble to check the store room for me - bless you!
I am at a loss why next are still an up and running business, they should employ snails for delivery and maybe some other form of primates to run their business.
I purchased product C90-998 from store, the first time I wore this item it ripped. I'd paid £38 which is a lot. I had the receipt so I went to return the shirt. Next refused for me to return it as they said I made the rip, this was very upsetting as I hadn't and I actually really liked the shirt. Very bad service from next.
The Next website is abysmal, clunky, slow and badly managed, I ordered a tailored fit suit jacket, clicked on the link to purchase the trousers to find the matching trousers are slim fit, schoolboy errors and extremely annoying - taking my business elsewhere, the one star rating I have added is only because I cannot post this review without it
Had a credit account, never missed a payment, always cleared quickly and then suddenly 'temporarily' restricted for no apparent reason (it's been a few months now and still in place). I'd paid for a years worth of unlimited delivery on the basis that the service would continue to be frictionless, won't be doing that again. Good job I'd cleared my entire balance ahead of this mystery restriction.
On top of that, the website now seems to be falling apart at the seams, errors when trying to access the account area, search not returning results despite accurate keywords, poor interface, especially on mobile. Weeks long delays on 'in stock' items I'd shut down my account if I didn't have to call them.
I'd rate them as 0 out of 5 if it were possible.
Returned an item with tags and in original packaging and had proof of online purchase - three separate confirmations and yet Next refused to offer a refund/exchange because my customer number was not in any of the confirmations. Have looked on my account online and cannot find a customer number on there either. Next are clearly using this as a way to avoid returns. Would recommend that you think twice about ordering items online from Next. Totally unacceptable - I will no longer be shopping at Next. Shocking service, unhelpful staff and systems that clearly don't work.
I am not sure Next know what they are doing. I ordered items online and as you would expect I thought I would get next day delivery as advertised but once I got to the pay section it came up 3-4 weeks…ok I said I can wait. Then 2 days later an email to say one of the items as become available and if they can take the money from my account by a certain date then they will send the items. Then i got an email to say they have the money but as yet no email mentioning when it will be delivered. Since then i have had 3 more items "supposedly on the way" but no confirmation of delivery.
So many emails but no items.
Disappointing to be honest and not what you expect from a big "name" store. Won't be ordering online from them again as I'm not convinced they know what they are doing
Ordered mothers day flowers, these have still not been delivered ( yesterday was mother's day) Terrible service from a company who I will jot use again and hope others do the same.
I've been shopping at next since I was a wee teeny bopper, and can hands on say that they are the best retailer out there BY FAR in terms of sizing. I have many friends who can also vouch for this. I'll admit, not all of their stuff is "trendy" but if your a grandad like me then comfort >> style.
I wish I could give no stars but not an option, and also wish I read these reviews before ordering a table and chairs, which I have had to cancel because of them messing around with the order (one minute it's in stock, the next it isn't!). This was about 4 weeks ago - received partial refund (which took long enough!), still waiting for another £8 to be refunded, they took the money easily buts it's an absolutely nightmare trying to get it back. Very frustrating and I have now had to refer it to the financial ombudsman. Surely this is fraudulent.
Extremely disappointing ‘service', I will never go near this company again and advise others to be careful before considering buying anything from them.
I have been a customer for over 20 years and spent thousands with Next. Now they have accused me of sending back a children's shirt instead of a man's blazer. They are adamant I have done this when even the colleagues in the store are saying that's impossible. I have complained for months that something is wrong in their warehouse as once I received a brand new pair of New Balance trainers in the box for a £29 item! They loved my honesty them and this has happened countless times, it they have now decided I am committing fraud and refuse to accept anything else! Never seen the children's shirt before. Would be very careful buying from Next now when return items I suggest you video record the stores. Not only have they charged me twice for the same item they have also charged me a so called investigation fee so I have lost out on £120. To add insult they have said another item has appeared as a flag. This has caused me much distress and anxiety and I will not stop until I receive and apology and my name cleared. I have asked for the CCTV of the store to be viewed and they have refused. Probably as it will prove I am innocent. BEWARE.
Next never fail to impress me when it comes to clothing. I am always shopping here for myself and my family. They have the best value for money and best quality and fit of any clothing brand I know, especially for jeans and trousers. Every guy I know tells me he shops at next for his jeans because they are so damn comfy, especially if your a curvy dude like me.
Overall a 5/5 not a bad word to say. Also next day delivery when you purchase online, you cant get better than that!
It was my first and of course my last experience with Next. I bought a jacket from their eshop. Although the transaction was successful and I was waiting for the confirmation for the order, instead I received an email informing me that due to technical reasons the order won't be processed and the money will be refunded. After 24 hours I contacted the customer care service. They said that the amount is temporarily blocked and that it would be refunded in 48 hours. One week later I'm still waiting...
I hope my review will help others avoid such unpleasant experience.
Over the years quality has declined and customer service with it. I'm fed up with clothes that disintegrate in 6 months (I work in an office, it's not heavy, manual labour), and the ridiculous refund policy which leaves me out of pocket. Yes, their clothes look great, but they are not fit for purpose, and you will not easily get a refund if a fault develops. Try Primark, the quality is similar, but the prices and the service are superior.
Next has a rating of 1.7 stars from 72 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Next most frequently mention and customer service. Next ranks 332nd among General Apparel sites.
