Website states 2 days delivery. Unfortunately my outfit did not arrive on time for a wedding. Ordered 12.07 and now received a notification saying it will reach me by 25.07 which is much too late.

Fantastic - products arrived quickly and as I had ordered two Clarins products I had a free gift bag which I didn’t realise! So added bonus ! Thankyou

Return process is poor

Debenhams was a reliable retailer and returning items should not be so difficult or through 3rd party sellers. I need to swap an item for a different size but the 3rd party seller hasn’t got back to me and I have no way of returning the product. I won’t be buying from Debhenhams again - maybe I am remembering what they use to be like rather than where it is at now.

The mattress was great quality but the delivery was awful!

The mattress was great quality but the delivery date I was given on payment changed to 4 days earlier. When I contacted Debenhams I was told they had no control over the delivery company and to contact them to rearrange the date. There was no option to change the date only where on your property to leave it. As we were on holiday on the now new delivery date we had no choice but to arrange for it to be left along side the house and a friend to go and move into our home. The delivery company were not happy to do this and we had to write a message saying we took full responsibility for the delivery in our absence. This could have been easily avoided if the given delivery date was fixed or there was an option to rearrange with the delivery company. Debenhams even suggested we refused the item and re-buy after a refund was paid. In a day where people work it would have been easier if the delivery date was adhered to!

I returned a dress i paid £21.50 for and was given a refund of ,£10.20. Trying to get a contact address to complain was near on impossible. Postage to return was £2.99 so no idea how they came up with £10.20 refund. Waiting for a response from customer services.

Refund on way, but never delivered

I ordered three items. Two arrived and all good. Third item never came and now I have an email stating that my requested refund is on the way. I checked tracking and it stated that it was delivered by Royal Mail. I have tried to work out how to report this, but cannot find the appropriate channel. I had ordered above a certain amount to get delivery for 49p but then I discovered I had been charged separately for separate items. I think the whole process is a bit disjointed to be honest
