NextReviews 73

Ordered a jumper for delivery to store - guarenteed to arrive by 1pm on 6th May. Recieved an email at 7am on 6th May
"We're really sorry, but 1 item is going to be delayed, we should get these to you in the next few days". I logged into my Next account to see if there was any more information. The info in my account says "expected delivery by 28th September"!
1st and last time I shop at Next

I recently ordered from Next online for the second time. The items arrived and were perfect. I can never fault the quality of Next's clothes.

However, they need to fix the issue where the Eircode is not printed on the package. I definitely provided it when filling in the address, but the courier had issues delivering my parcel yet again. They couldn't contact me, so my parcel ended up back at their headquarters. I had to phone them myself and provide the Eircode. This isn't good enough that it's happened twice. First time I was available to answer the phone, second time I was not.

Please fix this issue.

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 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.

Beaumont Leys store Leicestershire is the worst store ever. I decided to return and to give them the benefit of the doubt but oh my god they are useless! One occasion I stood waiting in the queue... and waiting... and waiting whilst the staff member was chatting and the return visit was knocked out of the way with a stock bin, how rude and ignorant, so needless to say twice is enough to visit and so ordered online and arranged for a couple of items to be collected by courier and you know what I'm going to say... the courier never came and the return never got collected with no communication from Next at all and the online chat was too ridiculous for words if it wasn't such bad service it would be hilarious, as a first time customer can definitely say won't be a customer for a second time, cannot believe this is NEXT expected so much more. I deal with online orders often and all other retailers and companies I've shopped with are always spot on I know Next won't even care about this review but hopefully it will assist other shoppers in deciding to spend their hard earned cash elsewhere..

I ordered jeans, they e mailed me to say they were coming, they did not turn up, rang them they said they will re order and come by 1pm next day, rang up man I spoke to said person must of been new( should not of said they will be here by 1pm) but assured me they will be here by 9.30 that day... another lie. They did not come! Disgraceful service, I wanted jeans for work, have waited over a week for them... rubbish service indeed...

£2000 of interest charged and they've still destroyed my wife's credit file. I've just been hung up on and lied to by a manager of the Collections team having discovered Next have destroyed my wife's credit file. Under scrutiny Next admit to £1968. 75 of interest out of a total spend of £9788. 69. I wonder how many of Next's "several million customers" understand that they are charging them 23.9% interest.

Their most senior manager of their Collections Department explained that they would accept a payment of £1400 to settle a £2400 account but that they would be forced to continue to destroy my wifes credit file unless we pay the £2400. Not only is that bizarre but I'd love to understand how that is not blackmail as well. In one hand they offer to 'settle' but then explain they have to lie to the credit agency and say it's not settled unless we pay them the £1000 of interest. I really don't get how this company is FCA regulated, they couldn't explain it and clearly didn't understand their own offer of 'settlement' let alone the FCA rules.

In the process of trying to get a fair resolution or even honesty from Next we've been hung up on by Ziyaad (senior manager of collections), Cheryl, Thenji. There appears to be no limit to the dishonesty Next will employ on recorded calls

So in summary if you don't like being lied to, hung up on, profiteered from and then blackmailed it may be worth going to a shop and buying your clothes rather than using next.co.uk who seem quite happy to make up the rules as they go along. The 54% of 1* ratings on Trustpilot would seem to support my summary of this business. AVOID.

A pair of their jeans bled so badly and so consistently that they completely stained my entire dryer drum and the dye then rubbed off onto other loads of clothing that I ran through the dryer. All of my white and light colored clothing was ruined as well as my dryer. I even have video evidence of the actual Jeans staining my dryer and how it then rubbed off onto a white dry wash cloth. After weeks and weeks of communicating with their "customer service," dealing with slow responses, having to mail the jeans back to them, and them claiming to do heir own tests in the jeans, they now claim the jeans are not faulty and didn't cause the damage. I've even sent them the video evidence now and they are completely ignoring me. Will never buy from Next again. I encourage you to not buy from them either. Clearly they don't care about product quality or customer service or making right what they have wronged.

This company is the worst company I ever seen. I bought some items online on the same day but I received the order splitted in 2 different days without advised me and any other explanation. Finally I receive my last item nearly 15 days later from the date of my order with again no explanation of why the delay. I was unhappy with one part of my order (I bought 2 pair of trousers) because they sent me a size 12 instead a 14. So I wanted to return this last trouser.
I didn't have any return label on my package so went online and submitted a return request. A delivery guy from hermes came to collect my order. 10 days later of collection I didn't know anything about my refund. I went to my account on the next online store but seems my return wasn't registered so it is like I didn't sent anything back to them. I tried to get in touch with them many times by phone but nothing. Customer services is just terrible. They do nothing. Trying to get in touch by email also (after a lot of research cause it is very difficult to find any other contact except the telephone number) 20 days later from my return so in total of one month after I made my order and even didn't get any reply, solution, etc... I can't believe how NEXT is dealing so terrible with their returns. If you don't have to return anything it is probably that you don't have anything to complaint about them but if you have to... Be prepare to deal with many phone calls, worries, waste of time and losing your money. I will be not surprised if this company is one of this that have to shut down their business as many others in UK. Very sad.

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.
