Fabulous sale from a great company (staff owned remember and a UK tax payer - not tax avoider).

Funny people mention tax avoidance on a site which is owned by a company that avoids tax by being registered in the Seychelles.

I do believe this "clearance" sale has been going on for at least 3 weeks now! judging by the emails I get from them every day. Still better late than never :confused:

I think the big issue is with their larger items and white goods. I've experienced similar with them when ordering a dishwasher it didn't come on the correct day, and a click and collect lamp had minimal packing so was a bit bashed about. Both times however they did offer financial compensation and were relatively easy to deal with, however I certainly wouldn't get any large goods that I had to wait in for delivered again as items like this not turning up is unacceptable and companies like AO do it so much better.

You missed the joke (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argos_(dog))
The education system in this country is terrible.

Well......to be fair... I did say "in Britain"... And not 'british'...
But it was actually established in Britain anyway... #wikipedia :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

Damn, I just stupidly filled my basket as I thought if you spent £50 you qualify for free delivery. Any discount codes please?

Not saying they aren't good as has been said you only find out when things go wrong and fingers crossed I won't ever find out.

And what I bought early on is now a much lower price. Do John Lewis price match themselves when they drop the price? It's little money but irritating.

We all love JL but more recently there have been quite a few complaints on here about their service. Doesn't help when reviews like these are out there.
surprised at those reviews, very similar to IKEA which again i was surprised at how bad they are. that's two big companies you trust but they are letting buyers down. but saying that it's rare to leave a positive feedback on these review sites

Fair points. I try to do my bit but yes I use a Google search engine. That said - I always try to log in via Quidco.com or if not everyclick (a charity search engine).
The above said, yes you are right. Still, J Lewis is a great company in my view.

Slightly suspicious of a TV I bought last week as the box looked like it had been retaped up, however everything was packaged / protection tape & wrap as it should have been and it was only when I switched it to update itself (there was a manufacturers upgrade at the end of May) that I realised they must have done that themselves as it was right up to date. So dodgy looking packaging may be because they have done such.

Just be aware that "special buy" items are not reduced at all, but bought in for the sale. They are generally of a lesser quality and NOT a bargain at all !

They have some really nice lights (obviously this is subjective but i have seen the top quality of the JL ones) with extremely good discounts.
