“Return scam”

No return policy?! How is this allowed? The answer at the till it was that it states on the receipt?! The receipt you receive after you have purchased the item! What a scam! So disappointing it comes from such a renown big brand! Not to mention the lack of custoner service from store manager! You should be ashamed for the service you provide@M&S

Cannot understand why The Christmas Feast Hamper Product code::******* can be delivered to Edinburgh but not to Glasgow or the Isle of Man

To add to my frustration they did agree to deliver. The M&S Deluxe Collection Hamper
Product code: *******. To Glasgow and Isle of Man

Where is the Logic in delivering the The M&S Deluxe Collection Hamper
Product code: ******* to these locations but not the The Christmas Feast Hamper Product code::*******

Products used:
1 Christmas Hampert and 3 ordinary hampers

Going to do a shop at Marks and spencers, I am very disappointed to find the dates on most fresh food including the bakery dept are short lived usually to be eaten within 2 days. I like to shop midweek for the weekend but unfortunately I am mostly not able to do this. I have completed this with most other supermarkets. This is very disappointing.

Tip for consumers:
Watch the sel by date

Products used:
Salads etc

Very disappointed after all the hype overpriced at £20 and very dry and quite claggy no moisture at all and the sauce and cream were very average and done nothing to enhance the pudding wish we had stuck to trifle

If you like black or dark blue clothes dont get them from M&S. Within a couple of washes (cold wash) they will be grey and a sort of purply colour. Paper thin material too. Their quality has really gone downhill.

M&S an institution or in an institution!

Marks and Spencers was once called an institution but now more of in an institution, a true shame that they seem so lost.

On a recent internet expedition into the depths of Marks and Spencers I ordered some hi-ball glasses. These glasses cost £7.50 for four. At a later visit to Asda I came across the exact same glasses for £2.40 for four, you should have shopped around I hear you say. How very true. My point is though, if they continually overcharge customers on their wares, in the end the customer goes elsewhere.

Following on with the same hi-ball glasses, Marks and Spencers asked me to review them. I pressed the link supplied and hey presto, a nearly blank web page stating that "this site is not supported". See what I mean! If they can't link web pages what can they do.

Just a few days ago I had another poor experience with M&S. I wanted to buy a gift card for someone; what card shall I get, I thought! I know (a spark of genius) an M&S one (bad mistake). Chose the card and value, went to the online checkout, got ready to pay; hang on a minute! Delivery charge! Yes they wanted £3.50 to deliver a gift card. I tell you, M&S have definitely lost the proverbial plot, no wonder their market share is going down. COME ON MARKS AND SPENCERS, THINK ABOUT WHAT AND HOW YOU SELL YOUR PRODUCTS ONLINE!

I really hope they can get there corporate act together, for look whats coming... NEXT.

Tip for consumers:
Always check the product against other websites. Don't expect it to be of better quality because it is dearer, as it may well be the same with just an inflated price tag. Look out for delivery charges.
