Marks and Spencer Reviews 

I went into Cribbs Causeway, Bristol and was helped by a colleague called David. in the men's department He was helpful, polite and funny and made the whole experience delightful. Good clothes at decent prices as well in a modern and well laid out store. Well done Marks, Well done David.

I used the Bureau de Change at the M&S Glasgow Fort branch and I was appalled at the the rates they gave me. I tried to book online 3 days before but was unable to do so due to their systems being down so I had to go into the store thd day before we flew to get Turkish Lira.
Now I know they have to be paid for their time and I fully expect a difference in the exchange rate but to change £1,250 GBP into Turkish Lira cost me just under £153 which is unbelievably greedy.
I'll never use an M&S branch/shop/bureau /garage ever again

Problem with digital rewards being linked-bank and retail. Wrote to Stuart Machin CEO but staff they say that deal with his e mails don't read your complaint and problems your having and address them.
No customer service.
Will vote with feet.

Ordering a birthday present online for a dear friend , M&S confirmed on the day that the delivery was on the way and than suddenly informing me at 5pm that my delivery was cancelled , leaving my 85 year old friend without her flowers and champagne to celebrate her birthday . Not good enough M&S. I trusted you to deliver our birthday wishes and bring a smile to an old friend on her birthday . Instead of trying to re-deliver, you just decided to refund my order and believe that by offering me a discount next time I use your services, all is well ! Disappointed and very let down .

M&S have deserted their core customers.
Why make a zip front bra that is only available in high cup sizes for the smaller sizes? This makes no sense whatsoever!!! I am a 38 GG. Drove 40 miles to buy 10 bras. Not a single one was suitable. Either not enough support, no separation or so scratchy and uneven at the back that it was like wearing a hair shirt. Clothes no good for British women whose grandmothers shopped here, i.e. women who are 5ft 10 inches and have curves.

Update on message:-
Please be very careful ordering from M&S online. Their delivery driver threatened me and M&S did nothing. Their customer safeguarding is nonexistent.
The police have told me they are very angry that M&S advised me to use valuable police resources when they could have blocked this Evri delivery driver from my address for free. Shame on you M&S.

I am appalled by Marks & Spencer's customer service and complete lack of accountability.
Due to a counter clerk error at the Post Office, a 1.26kg package containing £101.98 worth of Zara items was misdirected and delivered to M&S under tracking number OT531461054GB. 
While Zara acted responsibly when they received the misdirected M&S items and immediately returned them back to me, M&S did the exact opposite. They accepted delivery of my package at their depot, failed to return it, and now claim they "cannot locate it". 
To make matters worse, their Executive Complaints team hide behind website Terms & Conditions to disclaim all financial liability for property physically received into their care. 
Accepting a 1.26kg package that belongs to another retailer, losing it in your warehouse, and telling the customer "bad luck" is completely unacceptable. Zero accountability, poor warehouse management, and disgraceful customer care.

Extremely disappointing loan application experience

I applied for a personal loan with M&S Bank and, after almost two weeks, I still had no decision or meaningful update.

During this time, I had to call several times myself just to find out what was happening with my application. On more than one occasion I was told that I would receive an update within 24–48 hours, but those promised updates never came.

I have an excellent credit history, have never missed payments and have never had problems managing debt, so I found the lack of communication and the length of the process particularly frustrating.

Eventually, I decided to apply with another well-established lender. My application was approved and the money was transferred within hours a completely different experience.

Based on my experience, M&S Bank’s loan application process was extremely slow, poorly communicated and unprofessional. What frustrated me most wasn’t simply having to wait, but repeatedly being given timeframes that were not respected and having to chase them myself for basic information.

I have now decided to withdraw my application and would not personally recommend M&S Bank for a personal loan. A very disappointing experience from start to finish.

Flowers I bought for my daughter from the Crewe store were dying the day after I bought them. £18 I won't be purchasing again.

I have just looked at the Evri site for news of my delivery.
Apparently,yesterday morning my velvet curtains,£109 were DESTROYED!
Trying to contact M& S online is hopeless.
Phones are staffed by incomprehensible androids.
You will replace my curtains sometime witout a scintilla of response.
My last online purchase from you.
Horrible.

Bought 2 Jaeger items online. They arrived just loose and crumpled in the plastic bag, no seperate wrapping despite the price tag. One was a silk shirt, which didn't resemble silk in any way and was transparent. Terrible quality. The other item was too small, I suspect M&S has changed the Jaeger pattern blocks to their own.
I am not impressed, and will not be purchasing from them again.

There is nothing premium about a retailer that injures employees who then need NHS steroid injections in the local anaesthetic hospital theatre and dozens of sessions of NHS Physiotherapy. I worked at M&S Cheshire Oaks for 6 years and 4 months. 2 grievances in 2 years for management style and physical harm to employee. I now claim Universal Credit Limited Work Capacity and Related Activity, up to £855 a month, up to £10,248 a year from the DWP. In 2019, I was overworked on a belted food till, 5.5 hours a day, 5 to 7 days in a row for 4 months until I couldn't walk and developed incontinence, aged 42 having had no children. I didn't go off sick because I was threatened with policies including sickness and capability. I had no support,not even from a BIG rep, who was supposed to support me, until a very complex situation was exposed. My Team Manager had been dishonest to other Team Managers and on an Occupational Health referral and the Occupational Health Assessor advised me to immediately contact HR. The Occupational Health Assessor said he had never read such an unprofessional submission on an Occupational Health referral and immediately sensed a problem. 2 managers, a Team Manager and a Deputy Store Manager, disappeared following the investigation. Occupational Health instigated 3 years of light duties. I was still one of the most commercially successful M&S Customer Assistants ever, supporting over 5,000 credit card referrals, worth over £450,000 to M&S Cheshire Oaks and this was my thanks. Everyone I tell is upset for me and outraged at M&S for allowing this to happen. There were dozens of managers in that building and no one supported me. I have only partially recovered, I'm still traumatised, literally with flashbacks, nightmares and hyper vigilance, symptoms of PTSD.

Bluewater
This week the screens have changed on the self service tills. Being a certain age, I can’t now read the writing on the screens. As for total. It’s tiny! I didn’t have an issue with how they were. I also don’t like the design of the packaging on the pasta meals. Again, before they changed them, I could read what they were. If I forget my reading glasses, I now struggle. My reading glasses aren’t that strong.

Chicken in pasta meals is now very poor quality. I now avoid those. I hate biting gristle.

Ice cream
You’d think in a heatwave if they have issues with the ice cream freezer they would put the ice cream somewhere else. They have so many chips for example. Don’t have all those chips and sell ice cream and lollies instead. I’ve been in there every other day for over a fortnight trying to get what I usually buy. This is wasting my time and petrol. Still no ice cream. Was near Sevenoaks today so stocked up in there and fortunately they survived the longer journey home.

Shoplifting in the changing rooms is rife. Why don’t they crack down on it? You can just go in there and not even take a number. There’s always empty hangers in the ladies changing rooms and quite often security tags/devices on the floor. Quite often where there should be 3 knickers in a pack, there’s 2. This must push up prices for everyone else. I had to buy pyjamas without the bottoms because someone had pinched them!

After a lifetime of shopping for knickers and under garments , I have completely lost patience and any expectation of quality products from M&S. I have bought knickers over the past 2 years and after a few washes they fell apart. Aside from that they are thin and become uncomfortable - do M&S think that customers dont notice that they are producing low grade products now and charging more at same time? Well all my friends have noticed and we are moving on to other stores. Shame that M&S dont value their customers and wish them to stay by keeping the quality products they used to sell.
In addition. the prepared foods are full of toxic ingredients- in case folks dont know - seed oils are cheap and highly toxic. Yet every singe prepared food dish I picked up had them in. Instead of using a quality olive oil they stoop to the level of Tesco et al.

Last Saturday I collected 3 trays of Sandwiches that I ordered from M&S food store in Hertford. They were easy to order. I received a text that morning to say they were ready.
I went to the store & a most helpful & polite young man got the sandwiches for me & even insisted on carrying them to the car for me. It has been years since I have received such good customer service from staff anywhere.
I’m not sure but I think the man in questIons name is Quinn.
He is an asset to your team.
I would have no hesitation in visiting the store again & the sandwiches were very popular at the party.

Bereavement flowers ordered for Sunday delivery did not arrive. Promised for Monday,did not arrive ,promised for Tuesday, did not arrive. Finally delivered on Wednesday after numerous phone calls and lots of stress. Very disappointing. I have no idea what condition the flowers were in when they arrived as I haven't contacted recipient. Different excuses for non delivery given each time I phoned.

My order for my holiday was not ready as delayed. Then they redistributed my order the week after when I was on holiday. I requested my order being held at the branch until I returned home but they said they are unable to keep in store for more than 5 days.
The result is no holiday items needed and further insult of products sent back due to their failure to deliver on time.
Discussed with customer service but unable to help !
M&S have improved their products recently but are behind on their customer service

Lovely friend sent me a bouquet delivered from m and s for a special birthday , 2 days flowers are dead , I contacted them , sent photos and gave them the persons name and address who ordered them , wouldn’t replace , dreadful service

I brought large bouquet of roses for £35. They only lasted for 4 days compared to other stores flowers. Very disappointing and waste of money.

Purchased some pull on trousers and the waist band elastic twisted from washing once. I tried to return to store but even though I had a receipt from online purchase they said items are only guaranteed for 6 months!! So they are only fit for the bin. I am very disappointed they do understand consumer law
