Phones4u Avis 

Thank you quick service and delivery

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

As I am writing this, I am sat without a phone. I am a new customer and after much deliberation, decided to go for the Galaxy S111 on contract with O2. I was sent an email promising that my phone will be delivered on 8th Dec before 1PM via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Today is the 15th Dec and still no phone has turned up. I received a tracking number (which turned out to be wrong after telling me that my phone is in Wimbledon, approx 250 miles away from where i live) and after phone Phones4U head office, was told that I had refused delivery (load of rubbish) and that the phone was being sent back to them. I was then given the choice of cancelling the contract if I wished or sitting tight and wait for Royal Mail to get their backsides into gear and send the phone back to them so that they can resend it to me. I even offered to travel to my local Phones4U to pick up a replacement (a round trip of 50 miles) but that was unacceptable to them. A new phone cannot be issued until the original one has been returned from Royal Mail. I rely heavily on my mobile as i have a disabled wife and the fact that I now have no phone and have no idea when it is going to be delivered is causing me no end of stress. Two of my friends ordered phones from other companies at the same time as myself and received their phones (via courier) within 48 hours. I know that this may seem a Royal Mail problem but the lack of understanding and the fact that I have to wait for a phone to be returned to them that I have not even been in receipt of, is unacceptable!

what a nice easy way to purchase a phone.enough said !

Can't fault the service.

The phone arrived very quickly, but unless you were experienced with a smart phone it was difficult to set up. There were no instructions unless you downloaded them from the net. We still have trouble switching on the cookies and accessing the net and loading apps.

Excellent service, fast delivery, even better than voda themselves! waiting 4wks for one x from voda 48hrs phones 4 u....that y I went back a second time. Would recommend above the networks themselves great job..... Also got the same tarriff that was 37 from voda themselves was only 33 from phones for u and free set dre beats, not wi voda!!!! Thanks phones4u

Ordered my phone on Friday from Phones4U as it was exclusive to them. The website said I would receive the phone within 3 working days. However, by the following Wednesday I'd heard nothing other than the fact my credit check had been cleared. I rang customer services, who told me that the phone was actually out of stock, but at no point was this communicated to me, either on the website of via email. I was then told the phone would be delivered to me on Tuesday, but after digging a little deeper, this was actually the date Phones4U were receiving the stock. I actually received the phone Saturday which was a nice surprise. Other than the lack of communication, the service was fine, and the phone excellent.

I am a Blackberry lover and this phone is amazingly well suited to my needs. The first one i received was faulty, but that was replaced in a heartbeat. It's a convenient, light cute phone with all the necessary features and downloading apps are very easy.

We have Ordered Galaxy Note2 our my son and it arrived next day. fast and reliable delivery. trusted worthy retailer. worth to buy a contract from Phones4U. only one problem Voice mail not a free, should be free for customer with contract.
Regards

Came to the Westfield store at about 7pm on a Friday evening to get the S3 set up and the PAC code from Virgin etc transferred. After 5.30pm (I didn't know) Orange shut down for the weekend, so the transfer didn't come off- only with a temp number for the weekend. For a phone company to close down for a couple of days and not provide a 24hour service around the world is bonkers. You could farm off the service around the world to English speaking call centres around the world and offer this vital essential part. New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, India then UK, then Canada- and get the coverage.

Buying from phones4u was simple to do and they provide all the information is right there set out clearly. They delivered early morning within 48 hours. The only downside that I found was that I couldn't choose the colour of my phone. Overall, they are great to buy from.

I ordered a phone online 6/12/2012 (Thursday) and according to your e-mail was dispatched the following day (Friday) .The phoned failed to arrive as described in your e-mail.
Your order has now been completed and will be dispatched this evening by Royal Mail Special Delivery, who will deliver on the next working day.
** Royal Mail are used for all orders that contain a single item. If your order should contain a handset and a free gift, then your order will be delivered by a courier and may be delivered between 8am and 8pm.
This should have been Monday.
The phoned failed to arrive as described in your e-mail.

I waited for 4 long days then completed the 'chat' form and have been waiting for more than 24 hours.

I'm quite disappointed to say the least.

Where is my phone?

The whole process was quick and easy ,a couple of days later I had a nice new phone and a new x box to boot.

Ordered two payg phones online. Was promised before I paid they would be sent next day via Royal Mail.
Received two e-mails - one for each order that these had been dispatched. This was 7th December 2012.
They or should I say one was sent by City Link and the other isn't traceable on any system. 8 phones calls later between myself and phones4u and myself and City Link and now its 13th December and still no delivery. Don't know if two items are in one parcel or one has been shipped but not received and the other has been 'forgotten' with way both items cost has been taken From my bank account !

Phones 4u need to react and keep me updated before I take legal advice !

I decided to purchase the iphone 5 with an O2 tariff but before taking up O2's offer I searched around to see if I could find a better offer. I discovered that at Phones4U they were offereing the phone at the same price but with a £5 saving on the same tariff whcih equates to £120 saving over the two year contract. Much better than O2 or anywhere else so would thoroughly recommend checking out Phones4U before proceeding with any phone deal. Once purchased phone arrived the next day as promised. Absolutely no problems

This should have been Monday. (There is no free gift that I am aware of.)

When I contacted your support(!) on Monday afternoon was told it could take up to 5 days – so why send the email above? This person also said they would check with me in 24 hours to see if it had arrived – I am still waiting for the call back.
I was also asked to ring an account manager (Richard) He WAS to locate the phone and get back to me either later that day or the following morning.– I am still waiting for his call.

I phoned again on Tuesday afternoon – still no phone. I was told this time it had been dispatched using City-Link and was given a tracking number. I could see it was due for delivery that day – It was on the van. No phone arrived.
Again why the e-mail saying it was with Royal Mail?
Wednesday – its back in City-Links sorting office, then back on the van. Still no phone.
Thursday – its back in City-Links sorting office – NOT on the van. Still no phone.
I phoned City-Link and was told it will not be delivered until Friday. That's a full week after it was ordered.
We will see if it arrives tomorrow.

I await your comments. Please do not pass the buck to City-Link. You chose to contract them to deliver your products and should have performed a due diligence on their abilities.

Will I recommend Phone4U. What do you think?Abysmal

UPDATE
The phone has arrived. Friday 2.30pm.
I have now found out that Phones4u have added the £10 credit to the new SIM - to make life easier - . MAGIC. This is a Xmas present I wanted the credit against the old existing SIM after the present had been given. Thanks for making my life harder. The help operator said it says this on the website. It may well do but why should I believe it, after all the rest of your communications are untrue. Then they cut the conversation.
They wouldn't know service if it jumped up and bit them.
What a complete waste of space this company is.
I would recommend ANYONE else above this shower. Never again.

Got sent wrong device two weeks ago bin on the phone since than trying to send back to get the correct 1 and keep getting told that there is a bag in the post but still haven't had 1 yet can't get the right 1 that I want until phones 4 u's mistake is fixed, wanted the phone that comes with the galaxy note tablet 10.1 for my little boy for Xmas but got sent the galaxy tab 2 7.0" by the time it gets resolved my boy will probably get nothing for Xmas thanks.
