Marks & Spencer delivery issues

[monkeysmama]

Anyone else ordered anything from M&S this week? I ordered 6 underwear sets (3 in sale), a pair of pumps & a linen shirt for dp on Thursday morning. I paid the extra for next day delivery (or nominated day I think they call it) for it to arrive on Friday & got an email confirming it'd all come on Friday. Then yesterday morning I got an email to say it was delayed, they'd refund delivery charge & would email when it was ready to be dispatched.

Anyone else had this? I remember last summer when my holiday order arrived once we'd gone away & having to send it all back for a refund. We are going away next Friday & now have no idea if it'll be here o rnot. Is their delivery service just crap?

Cheers

I have had a few problems with them - ordering things, arranging delivery, and then being told several days later that they were out of stock.

It is really irritating isn't it!

I have ended up cancelling orders with them before as their delivery has been so slow.

This has happened to me before with sale items. Mind you M&S are fantastic compared to the shite that is debenhams.com. Have only ordered from them twice and both times they have cocked up royally.

I emailed them this morning and they got back to me a few hours later to say the order's been delayed because some of the items are unavailable but didn't say which items or why they can't dispatch some of them / when I will get delivery. I am with them!

Only ordered once, when they were doing 20% off before Christmas - I cancelled after ten days.....

I ordered some stuff in the sale Thurs, with free "nominated day delivery" and got it Sat, very promptly. I'll be taking most of it back though!

I called them this afternoon to be told 6 of 11 items are not available & probably will not become available again but the available items will not be dispatched until all the items are available. I thought I was talking to Jeremy Beadle or having my own personal groundhog day. Cancelling the whole lot. Crap service.

M&S online is always crap. Their site is so big it just doesn't work. They only tell you items are unavailable several days/weeks after you click for the purchase. Never expect anything to arrive when you think/hope it will, and never expect a complete order! I hope someone from M&S reads this thread.

Total crap. Even the kid on the phone couldn't defend it. Won't be using it again.

I've found delivery with M&S is always later than they say it will be. When they first started the website it was super fast but not now. Don't know why that is as sometimes mine is courier delivered or sometimes by postman. I do find their customer services emails are fast and accurate.

I recently got a refund on a bra order that they said they had sent out twice.
I didn't get them, so obviously the postman has the same size tits as me and thought he'd have BOTH parcels.

My postman (not the chap who does normal post he's great) but the the one in the van is a pain. He always leaves parcels on the doorstep whether you're in or not. Quite often I've been out and there they are in full view of every passing thief. Sometimes expensive stuff. And he never puts a note through!. How am I supposed to know if stuff has been nicked. Can't complain or I'll never get anythi ng delivered.

I've never had a problem with their delivery tbh. In fact, I ordered 3 items last week with standard delivery and got them 2 days later, which was a nice surprise.

And I have to report that I sent them an email about availability of a swimming costume about 20 minutes ago and someone has already replied with a (non-standard) reply which was very helpful (and no I don't work for them, honest!).
