Verified ReviewerSamsung Promotional FREE Chromebook
No further forward. Very never replied even when you's emailed them, so all in all not only do I think Samsung and Very are a boat load of *** I think you's are *** as well because nother has happened.
I am writing to you to raise an issue about online and mail orders. The issue that I have experienced pertains to the purchase of the Samsung Galaxy S24 for my son's Christmas present.
My son, who is autistic and has Global Developmental Delay, just started college. There was a promotional offer on the phone which stated you could get a free Chromebook if the phone was ordered within a certain timeframe. It was the main reason we purchased the product, as the free Chromebook would be very useful for our son at college.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 was delivered the following workday after purchase. We proceeded with submitting the required information via the Samsung Claims website.
All necessary information, proof of purchase VAT receipt, and IMEI number from the phone, was submitted.
About 10 days later, we received an email from Samsung stating that we did not qualify for the free Chromebook. The reason given was that they could not verify the proof of purchase from Very.co.uk.
I have been in contact with Very.co.uk and they affirmed that the information I submitted is proof of purchase, advising me to reach out to Samsung again. Despite passing on this information to Samsung, they maintain that they cannot verify the purchase from Very.co.uk. I have emailed both Very.co.uk and Samsung about this issue, about three times, but both companies seem to be pointing fingers at each other.
Samsung has now stopped replying to my emails regarding the situation and it appears they have washed their hands of the entire matter.
I am aware that I am entitled to the free Chromebook that was offered during the promotion. The Samsung Galaxy S24 was purchased during the promotion period and the claim was submitted within the 30-day timeline with all necessary information required by Samsung Claims.
Presently, both companies blame each other and I am left wondering why I have been denied the free Chromebook.
This occurrence took place on the 9th of September 2024. Because of it, I have neither received the free Chromebook nor have I been offered an alternative. My request is simple: either offer me the free Chromebook or deduct the total cost of the Chromebook (£299) from the purchase of the Samsung Galaxy S24.
This way, I can purchase the Chromebook for my son. As a new customer of Very.co.uk, I am both unhappy and unimpressed with the situation.
It looks like, presently, our son will not be receiving the free Chromebook.
I look forward to an expedient response to this matter. As recommended by Trading Standards, I would like to keep a complete record of my case, so please reply to this email address.
Yours faithfully,
S Bell

Order number: 66*****29
Loss: £299
Preferred solution: Either Very.co.uk to send me the FREE Chromebook or deduct the initial price of the FREE Chromebook (which is £299) from the purchase of the Samsung Galaxy S24.
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Don't expect to get any joy when it comes to a FREE promotional item, as you'll find out just like me you won't get.

Verified ReviewerDissatisfied customer
Despite another 2 LONG phone calls with Very customer services, no money has been refunded as the continually promise. This company's customer services are either totally incompetent or just plain dishonest. Either way I would strongly recommend everyone to avoid buying anything from Very.
Had to return a faulty item several months after the original purchase, but still within the warranty period. Very had evidently closed my account, apparently due to an application for credit being refused.
No such application was made by me. Despite long calls trying to get a refund for the returned item, each for over 25 mins, still no refund despite assurances the refund would be in 10 working days, and now 3 weeks! Really, really poor service.
I recommend using another company. I have nothing good to say about Very.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Use an alternative company!

Verified ReviewerNext day delivery lies.
I ordered a monitor with next-day delivery, expecting it to arrive in two days, not the next day. However, when I checked my orders on my account, it indicated that the expected delivery date was the 6th, which is three days away, not one or two.
I paid £5.99 for next-day delivery, under the assumption that it would indeed arrive the next day. I was not aware this was not the case until after the order was placed. I need the monitor urgently, which is why I opted for next-day delivery. I cannot wait until the 6th, and even the 5th is pushing it.
I understand that you cannot deliver something the next day if it's not on hand. However, I did not pay £5.99 for next-day delivery for it to actually be three days. This is what I would categorize as a scam and false advertising. Even two-day shipping is not next-day delivery, but three days is unacceptable for a service labeled as next-day delivery.
I have also checked the delivery status and can confirm you've already received it at your center today. Therefore, I cannot comprehend why I won't receive it tomorrow, or at most, in two days.
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: Make sure you always check delivery even after you have brought your items

Verified ReviewerDiabolical customer service
I ordered a tv which was delivered to my work. I realised it was too big so arranged a collection straight away.
It was collected 2 days later from my work. I have never received a credit and Very say they have no tracking proof of it being returned. Luckily my boss screen shotted the courier collecting it, carrying it out and putting it in his van (registration number captured perfectly). I have spent hours on hold and then been made to forward the photos again.
I've done this 4 times.
I am now going down the official complaints route, Frustrated is an understatement! ![]()

Verified ReviewerSamsung Promotional FREE Chromebook
Disgraceful customer services. Very would be quick off the draw to contact me if they were wanting a payment from me.
But because I have an issue, they don't want to know *** Will look to use an alternative company in future.
And this issue could have easily been avoided if very had the decency just to reply, as 99% of the issue laid with Samsung, but because the Samsung product was bought from very and as Samsung stopped responding to my emails, I thought getting in touch with very they would have responded. But like most companies out there these days, once they have your money they don't want to know or bloody care.

Verified ReviewerRubbish
I have been with Very for the last two years or more. I applied for 'Buy Now Pay Later' and they gave me a £600 credit limit.
I was happy because I have three kids and I ordered a few tablets, Amazon Fire Sticks for me and my sisters, and an old-style Nokia phone for my elderly mother, father, and grandmother. I made sure that the orders went through, everything seemed okay. The next day, I went to work. When I came back to log into my Very account to check when my delivery would arrive, there was no order and no credit limit.
When I went to check the order status, I saw that all the items were cancelled by Very and the credit limit was zero. What a rubbish situation!
User's recommendation: no never the just scam people

Verified ReviewerProduct Quality
I purchased some football boots for my son's birthday. He has worn them twice, and they have started to fall apart. I believe that is unacceptable, given the amount I paid for them.
- Simple to order
- Normally good
- No email contact for them
- Communication
- Awful customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund
Still waiting for a refund
Item cancelled just under a month a go
Cancelled item 4 times online
Cancelled 3 times over the phone
Still dispatched the item so had to wait for it to be returned
Told all cancelled and refund issues yet still waiting
Rang again 17th March
Told I would get a call back which never happened rang again only after 10 mins to be cut off
Still ongoing
It would be nice to talk to someone who you could actually understand what they are saying

Verified ReviewerHorrendous customer Service
I ordered a Bosch integrated dishwasher from VERY. The dishwasher came up with an error code as soon as it was fitted.
I thought it may have been something I had done, so got a plumber out at a cost of £100 to check everything for me. He checked everything,and it was all ok, however the error code was still showing and my dishwasher not working, after I Had VERY take my old one away. After waiting 30 minutes to speak to someone at VERY customer services, I was told that they don to replace faulty items!!! that I had to order another one in the meantime 'therefore paying for 2 dishwashers'.
They would only collect my dishwasher for a refund. They would also pay no compensation for the plumbing call out, when ultimately it was a fault with the dishwasher.
Their customer service is horredous.
- You can order on a buy now pay later basis
- When something goes wrong
- Customer service is terrible
Preferred solution: A replacement product and a refund of the payment I have had to unnecessarily made to a Plumber
User's recommendation: Dont Purchase a large kitchen appliance from VERY
You cancelled my items
Please give me my items I would be happy just want a chance to prove to you that I will pay what ever I owe you if I had a personal account

Verified Buyer |Faulty television
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to complain about a Television that I bought from you. I am also complaining about your customer service agents.
The television is a LG OLED55A16LA 4K ultra.
I purchased this on 27/06/2022. so it is a little over 2 years old. The television cost £699.
The Television turned off suddenly mid watching and will not turn on again. I have followed all the instructions that LG have published online about this problem.
It seems to be a common fault with this brand. If had known that I wouldnt have bought it.
Your customer service agents have been fobbing me off about my rights. Firstly they put me through to LG. They quite rightly passed me back to Very because my contract is with yourselves not LG.
Because the Television is over a year old they said that it was my problem. When I spoke about my rights under the consumer rights act 2015 and the sale of goods act 1979, they went down a different route. I was told to have a TV engineer come out and say what the fault is. Again fobbing me off.
I do not have to do that under the consumer rights act.
However I thought that it might be quicker if I got someone to look at it. No one will come and see my television, saying that its a common fault with LG and it would invalidate any rights that I have under the consumer rights act. Is that why I was advised to do that by your agents? knowing if someone touched my television I would invalidate any rights I had?
So, Under the different rights that I have as a consumer, my television should not stop working after 2 years.
I have been a customer of yourselves for a long time and have spent thousands of pounds with you.
I did not expect to be treat in this way. I am elderlyand disabled. I spend alot of time watching television. I am now reduced to watching on an ipad.
My Virgin media account does not enable me to use all the functions that I can on my television.
It is eye opening looking at reviews for your customer services, 2 out of 5. There are a long list of complaints about your customer service.
I await your reply.
User's recommendation: Don’t use them. I have 1 more payment to make to clear my account. I have not bought anything from them since they messed up with fuzzy information about payments. The financial ombudsman should look into their practices.
