“If only I could rate less than one star. I am shocked to see many other consumers have been experiencing the same problem as me, if I had known the company was this bad I would have never dealt with them, why haven't Trading Standards closed this shambles of a business down? Impossible to get a refund for an item I didn't receive. The courier Ideal World use, Evri formally known as Hermes, had great difficulty in delivering my Hoover 'lightweight' upright hoover, I was waiting in when I received emails stating the item was on it's way, then it got cancelled as apparently the hoover was too large too deliver in a standard size eg- Ford Connect. It would be possible to fit the hoover in my personal car which is a One Series! Again they had to reschedule delivery, stated in the email they had to try and locate a bigger vehicle such as a HGV to deliver my item effectively due to the colossal size of this hoover. So, at this time, I decided to give Evri the benefit of the doubt and allow them time to suffice the issue with delivering the mammoth size hoover, after two and a half weeks of emailing and trying to track the hoover everyday, Evri sent me an email of apology that they have lost the hoover!! I emailed Ideal World, they took days to answer, so I resorted to phoning them, they did agree to send another out, three days later it got dispatched, Evri had the hoover for over a week and dumped it in my garden at front of house in plain view of everyone, by the time I got home from work at 7pm, the hoover was not there, called Ideal World they emailed me a form to complete, I sent it back via email, from which I was told that I would receive a full refund in 3-5 days, this has been going on for five weeks trying to get my refund back, they have forwarded this issue to a debt collection company called Moorcroft Debt Recovery, in which I have contacted to inform them to send this back to Ideal World as I do not owe them money, they where understanding and said they will contact Ideal World to find out what is going on. I have also received a letter confirming Moorcroft are in the process of dealing with Ideal World. Still to date I am out of pocket with no refund! I have had to resort to contacting Trading Standards who have told me to send a recorded letter stating by law they have to send me a refund within two weeks of receiving the letter, this has been sent. I don't know what will happen from here, but I will be exposing this company on every internet site going from Social Media to ANY internet platform review sites, I will also be exposing them on Google Search. This company CANNOT be in business when they do not operate professionally and they scam people of their hard earned money. Trading Standards UK please close this business down!!!”

“Bought MIE Skincare trio for £39.99 plus postage - had a really bad reaction to the eye serum and hardly anything in the Lip Serum had to throw it away - expensive waste of money. Ideal World wouldn't let me return as I had opened it. Should have used my telepathic powers to see if I would have a reaction before trying it”

“FAULTY and rubbish customer service I emailed you as recently as purchased Spear and Jackson 5L Sprayer but it doesn’t spray. I have followed instructions but just pours out. Very frustrated that because I bought over a month ago and didn’t use until yesterday and am being told because I didn’t report a fault within 14 days I would not get a refund even though it is faulty. I wasted so much of the Enviro-Works 5L Weed Gone Weed Killer purchased as well because it it wouldn’t spray as it is supposed to. Case Reference: SA4638800X - Order Number: OW63924081”

“I ordered A Digihome 55inch TV from Ideal World cost me £399 in June.When it arrived the screen was cracked and taped up???I contacted I Deal World and was told to send pics which I did.Then I was told to send more details and they said it would be collected by EVRI.It wasn't then after more emails told it would be collected.Again this didn't happen contacted them again and was told Head Office agreed if I send it back my self they would cover all the Postage and Packages etc and a full refund will be given.I have contacted Trading Standards and await their response.I have managed to get a delivery for Tuesday 2nd August and no doubt there will be more excuses.I am a pensioner and saved hard for this tv only to be treated like this.It has caused me a lot of stress and anxiety please do not order anything from I Deal World if this is the way they treat their customers thanks for reading”

“Irate ex customer. They tried to take £7.47 off of an old card, did not use updated card details, and this is somehow MY fault??? Now sent it through to a debt collector. Not impressed at all, no attempt to let me know payment never went through. Will never ever use this company again.”

“I did an order on the 25th June for 4 Solar lights. Told order despatched to EVRi to delivery depot but told order delayed. Replacement order sent 9th July and exactly same thing happened. After again inquiring about my order asked to give 2 days to be delivered. Didn't happen so asked again for it to be sorted and believe it or not asked to give another 2 days. Tried chat lines and that really was a waste of time so decided to ring a talk personally to someone and after discussion about all events I was told that the item was now out of stock. Believe it or not I have just been on the ideal world site at 10.57am and there's the item for ordering. Somebody really needs to get a grip of this organisation.”

“If leanard can replace wrong items sent to me asap he did on his computer why can Luxary replace again wrong items sent to me saying it’s up to the warehouse to make that decision !! What I’ve paid for 3 bengaline trousers but I must take it to Asda which I have no problem only parking ticket to be paid for and you won’t help me with your mistake then to confuse me more Luxary said they will refund me !!! I just want a replacement so how can 2 customer service agents have different rules !!!! And as a customer I’m still blocked because I made a mistake on their credit easy pay ? Which I can’t remember as I’ve always from years ago always paid and been a good customer so things don’t change !!! I felt there was no understanding from customer agent today unlike last time”

“I ordered kasara 2. Trousers and 2 dress instead I got 4 trousers and I phoned them but cost of a call is expensive but unlike another shopping channel there is free returns to Asda making that great so good on you ideal world better now then past tense but I have to say there are comments on here that says don’t buy anything and all I say is I have since it started and the quality is great and sizes are to with genuine intentions from yourselves and it breaks my heart to send back 2 wrong items that was rectified by a lovely gentleman called Lenard as a replacement for wrong goods sent .. so Lenard I returned today to Asda no iDef132790848 today as unwell 2 days ago .. but I will re order later on … Thankyou and how you have progressed with cheaper and good quality clothing then years ago”

“Don't buy anything from this company, I was looking at an LED face mask on 1/5/22 ,while it was sat in my basket as I was looking at independent reviews for the item I received a phone call from Ideal World sales team to make sure I was going to place my order (bit cheeky) but I went ahead and placed my order and paid as the mask came with lots of serums and extras £175, I also qualified for a FREE gift as my order was over £40. 5 days later my FREE gift arrived (I didn't ask for it) but no mask, so I contacted live chat to be told I have to wait upto 10 days for it to arrive, all tracking numbers they gave did not exist, so I waited and still nothing so I contacted them again to be told they were having issues and as a way of apology I would receive an extra bottle of serum and it would be delivered by the end of the following week, I waited some more and still nothing so contacted them again to be told it would be passed to the claims dept to see where it was, I then received an e:mail the next day to say thank you for my refund request it will be processed within 5-10 days, (I didn't ask for a refund). Anyway it just got better from there as several more live chats and phone calls resulted in bugger all, apart from the last message they sent me to say my refund would be processed minus the charge for the FREE item that I didn't want or order) plus the postage and if I wanted to return it it would be another £2.99. What a bloody insult, this company is disgusting, the staff are disgusting and all they were bothered about was if I wanted to keep the Free item. People you have been warned, I never leave reviews but in all my years I have never come across anything like it.”
