I rely on subtitles to understand what people are saying in films and TV shows. It was surprising to discover that Chili does not provide subtitles for popular films like Home Alone and John Wick.... See more

Hi Jay,
we are very sorry for your experience with our service. As our Customer Service said you last Saturday, we needed to check with the bank the reason why the transaction was rejected in our system.
For this reason our customer service gave you a coupon code of the same value of the movie you tried to rent so you could rent the movie again for free and watch it soon.

I have purchased 12 films but I have had enough now. The sound quality on 3 films has been so bad, 2 have since been corrected but the latest 'cool runnings' has something running in background, can sound muffled as a result. Customer service is not great either.

Hi,
we are very sorry for the audio issues you found on the movies you purchased. As our customer service told you last week, with regard to your communication about the film “Cool Runnings”, our technicians have identified the problem and have promptly contacted the distributor to solve it as soon as possible. We will update you with an e-mail soon after the issue is solved.

CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD FILMS YOU BUY 5 TIMES!!!! 5?!?!

If you 'purchase' a film you can only download it 5 times. If you need to delete it to free up space then download again later even you have a limit of 5 even though you apparently OWN the film!! Don't bother buying anything from them.
Also their support for any useful device is pitiful so even though you can still apparently stream without downloading they don't support devices you would want to do this on.

Dear Mr Stevenson,
we are very sorry for what happened but we would like to ensure you that our website was neither compromised nor hacked; what happened instead was a theft of your personal credentials. For this reason yesterday our Customer Service advised you to promptly change your password. As communicated, using a strong password (different for each websites) is very important because it reduces the risk of theft of your personal credentials. We advise you again to report the theft to the competent authorities and to your bank. It is a standard procedure that involves your bank (we cannot contact directly your bank, since we are not the owner of the credit card used) and, in this manner, you will receive the refunds from your bank. We reassure you about the fact that CHILI is a secure platform: we adopt all necessary technical and security protocols in order to avoid account thefts.

Hi Anna, at the moment, subtitles are not available for all movies included in our catalogue. Some titles are available in original language and sometimes they are provided with subtitles.
In content’s data sheet it is possible to check in which language the movie is available and also the presence of subtitles.

Very good all-round service

I recently signed up with Chili after getting the GQ promo. I have to say there's a very good selection of movies and great TV series.
I also had a brief exchange with their customer service to help with setting up chili on my TV, they were professional and quick to solve my issue.

I had a £25 gift card from GQ but I couldn’t use it at all. Every time when I tried to order a film, it said you can’t use your gift card. W*F! Why do you have gift cards then. I didn’t want to contact their customer services at all after all the questions that you have to answer before the contact page..

Rubbish

Rubbish. The app doesn't download over slower connections and they remove movies from your account after 30 days even if you haven't watched them or they are on pre-order so there is no way to have even watched them. There are far better services out there.

Ordered a 4K Blu Ray

Ordered a 4K Blu Ray, nothing has turned up 10 days later, stated 3 to 5 day on the order conformation, customer service is all but useless. I paid PayPal and have open a dispute, but this is a long process too. Never go near Chilli again and wouldn't recommend this terrible company. AVOID for you own sanity.

Do not order discs from this company

Do not order discs from this company. 9 days after order and they still cannot confirm that it has actually been sent. On the useless chat sessions I just keep being told to wait a few days longer. Avoid at all costs!

Disgrace of a company

Customer service are redundant of common sense and knowledge

The company in my opinion is setup like a smash and grab honey trap for peoples money.

Adopting aggresive and cloudy methods of service.

Absolutely avoid at all costs

Couldn’t stream or download the film I purchased despite having speeds of 35mbps on my device. Customer service is appalling and requested information that I’d already previously sent via the customer service contact in the app. Provided information again and they were completely unhelpful. I strongly advise people to use another service and will be going back to Rakuten and others that I have previously used. Disappointed customer with no resolve...

Unconvinced

Tried Chili as it was preloaded on my new smart tv. Selected HD+, which I now know isn't the same as UHD. The picture quality was reasonable but looked compressed and the sound quality was nothing more than average. When Netflix and amazon are doing more and more movies in 4K and many others with dolby surround and atmos, Chili look/sound no more than average. My first full purchase was Mission Impossible Fallout. I should have waited... as a comparison I hired the same film on Rakuten and the picture and sound were both much much better on that platform.

My advice - if the film doesn't rely on special effects then you should have a reasonable time, so take advantage of their offers when needed. Otherwise do your homework and look elsewhere.

Poor customer service

Poor customer service, I have bought, download and watched several films but one did not load. Contacted customer service with an hour of trying and they would not refund and blamed my TV and internet connected (despite other films working ok). Wont be adding any more credit to service and will be cancelling after this service.
