John Lewis Reviews

I am a very lucky little shopaholic! Right next to my office is a branch of John Lewis. I grew up with the belief that for anything that we needed ‘to last’ could only be bought from John Lewis and my attitude has changed little since I allegedly grew up; I still feel this way. Any of you have read any of my other Ops will now ...  Read the complete review

My local John Lewis is Brent Cross. It is the only place I will go to buy electrical goods. They sell good stuff - the top brands and a better range than Dixons tho' not as wide as someone online like empiredirect.com Whilst the staff are busy, when you do get their attention they are knowledgeable, fair and you won't be talking ...  Read the complete review

I have found that it's 'never knowingly undersold' moto has led to it's undercutting leading brands on many an occassion. Personally, I buy all my cosmetics and toiletries there whenever i can because it is always cheaper ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever come to question the price of something you have sen offered for sale in a shop or a store? I have. The usual thing is to question onesself as to what mark-up of profit there is on the item and where one can get it a little cheaper, is it not? The self-questioning and the doubt take on quite another and an altogether more ...  Read the complete review

That's the feeling I get when I go to John Lewis, mainly using the Milton Keynes and Brent Cross stores. In terms of shop procedures and the way customers are treated by the partners, I feel I am experiencing the sort of customer service and care, more typical of the Britain of 40 years ago! As soon as I enter their stores,I am struck ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to John Lewis during a shopping trip for my new school uniform. For some obscure reason which I have never fathomed, it is the only store which stocked my school uniform. Over the years, I have grown used to paying it an ocassional visit. In the way that children do, I pretty much took what it offered for granted. ...  Read the complete review

I have little time for department stores but I love the John Lewis partnership. It’s unique because it doesn’t have employees, it has ‘partners’ who share in the profits of the company and who therefore have a vested interest in serving the customer and getting repeat business. It’s a bit like a co-op and I like that ...  Read the complete review

John Lewis trade under the slogan "Never Knowingly Undersold", this means that they will price match, either reducing their price prior to sale or refunding the difference afterwards. I visited their Bluewater Store on 10/03/2001 and confirmed that this price comaprison still extended to the Internet as well. Subject to ...  Read the complete review

John Lewis has to be one of the most successful department stores about.

John Lewis has been up and running for a while now and it sells everything. The ...  Read the complete review

In Newcastle, there is no John Lewis department store, but there is Bainbridges, part of the John Lewis Partnership. Bainbridges is a bit of a mixed bag. Until recently, they didn't accept credit cards, which was a bit of a pain if you wanted to purchase large items. Now that they do, however, I am shopping there more often. ...  Read the complete review

I have just had to buy a school sweatshirt for my daughter from John Lewis. It was £25.00!!! It is an ordinary sweatshirt with a school logo on it. I had no choice in where to buy this from, as this is the only place that sells the uniform for my daughters school. I do not see why any store should make so much profit on a childs uniform. ...  Read the complete review
