Package Tracking shows it never left Great Britain. It shows it never went to customs, never went to ANY US postal services. There is no number to contact Zavvi. They use "messages". I notified them of the details via their messaging system. Rather than actually looking at the tracking info. A week later they just sent a generic response and told me to fill our their form. (Download, print, fill out by hand then scan then upload, rather that an Electronic Form). 5 days later, they send out the exact same generic message with the same form. I am out $200. I have spent over $5300.00 over the years at Zavvi. Obviously I will Never buy from them again. When you order from Zavvi you have to understand, you can NEVER actually contact them, they only do generic responses and you will get ripped off eventually. It might take several orders but you will end up like me. Tip for consumers:I spent $5300.00 at Zavvi over the years, they screwed me, how do you think they will treat you?

Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: December 18, 2024These guys must make most of their money on the delivery fees because the delivery takes twice as long as they estimate yet they charge like they've hired a private jet to hand it to you Tip for consumers:Zavvi are wankers Products used:4K blue ray Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: August 17, 2024Customer service is horrible. Everytime they are messing things up, it's customers job to take care and make it right. Got faulty product (again), got information that it would be replaced but never got the replacement disc. Now they are asking me to ship the box back to get a refund…after waiting for months… Service Date of experience: January 7, 2023Take your money and never deliver! Always give the same response that they're chasing your delivery - they don't! Disgusting behaviour and company should be avoided at all cost! If I could give them zero stars I would! Tip for consumers:AVOID - SCAMMERS!!! Products used:None as they never arrived!!!! Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: December 27, 2023Avoid at all costs. Costumer service is the worst I've ever seen. They say they'll investigate further and a week later nobody has ever heard of the issue. After over 10 messages there still no offer to refund an order that simply wasn't delivered. They are trying to play the waiting game and hope costumer don't have the energy to continue so they can keep your money. Service Shipping Returns Date of experience: February 6, 2023Order your advent calendar from zavv...why! Because they are a complete joke thats why. I ordered mine on the 29th of october, it arrived on friday 10 February 2023. Yes thats right February! For 2022 in 2023. They also took two payments for the same item. And charged £4.90 postage and packing on a so called free delivery. So come on everyone, get your advent calendar from zavvi, guaranteed not to turn up for its intended purpose, which sums this company up. So later THIS YEAR i will be buying from very. Same advent calendar lower price. Date of experience: February 11, 2023After 6weeks of waiting for an order the actual product was faulty and of poor quality when it arrived, I've requested a refund to which they said they sending a replacement which I do not want. In order to gain a refund I've to return the faulty product and the replacement which will cost over £6 in delivery fees possibly not alot to some people but when you have paid over £40 for something of poor quantity it all adds up. For me to get my refund both products have to be returned. Customer service is poor many different people handling your complaint you never get the same answers. Tip for consumers:In some cases be very patient took over 6 weeks for our order to arrive more patience needed trying to sort a refund Products used:Home accessories Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: October 16, 2023Pretty sure they're a scam company that pays for bot reviews to some extent. They also pad their reviews by sending review request immediately after purchase to trick low minds into being like "great products for cheap prices, so excited" but never actually receiving the product and being to low mind to fix review. They told me after 3 weeks to wait to days and that they were just waiting on the shipping company to pick it up. One week later, I message them and they say they are waiting for supplier to get it in stock. Tries to back pedal saying from the beginning they knew the shipment was not available and were just gonna have me wait until I hopefully forgot. Save your money, spend a bit more to actually get the item you want. Low prices are a hook to steal with. Tip for consumers:Don't use this site. Products used:Never received the back pack I ordered. Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: February 9, 2022I ordered some models from Zavvi as part of a random bundle. I realized it was possible that there may be duplicates, so when I got one I accepted this as part of the bundle's low cost. But when I opened one up it was clearly broken right out of the box, it fell apart immediately. It was obvious that it was broken and Zavvi had repackaged it without even bothering to glue it back together. Can't believe the nerve that would take! So I contacted them expecting to be offered a partial refund, 'cause like, this bundle was $16. I figured getting maybe $4 back would be okay. Nah, they wanted me to ship it back at my own expense. Would literally cost more than what I paid. Zavvi, I hope you realize you're all a disappointment to your mothers.

The customer service agent has not even been reading my messages - just responds that will be shipped soon. Date of experience: July 7, 2022This is the last straw! I have order multiple times from Zavvi and ever time it has been nothing but a hassle. I have tried to cancel my order I placed two weeks ago because it would not arrive on time for what I needed it for yet I have had no response other than we have escalated it.

I ordered a DVD collection from them and they refused to help when one of the disks played but the others did not because it's a region-b player. Instead of trying to work with me at all they gave me an extremely dismissive answer Date of experience: March 21, 2020Ordered a number of items that said they were in stock and paid next day delivery.still not received items and unable to speak or "live chat" with anyone at Zavvi. Still unable to either cancel order and get a refund so having to go through bank to try and stop payment. Products used:I have not received my order yet Service Value Shipping Date of experience: November 17, 2022Forget the 1 star - had no option but to select. Without going into any details, just read the reviews below..add them all together and he presto! You have my complaint. After thinking about it, what can one expect from a company that has gone into liquidation at least 4 times..(only found this out after ordering) Date of experience: November 12, 2017I've been ordering from Zavvi for several years and was completely satisfied until I had to return a damaged product. I'm currently going on week two of going back and forth between 4 employees trying to figure out how to return the item for a replacement. It's like they have never handled a simple return before. As of today, there have been 11 messages sent between us trying to figure out something this simple. As others have stated, when you respond to a message, it takes Zavvi at least 24-48 hours or longer for them to respond. Every time I get a response, it's from a different employee often with conflicting information. I advise folks to just stay away. Where other companies would have solved this in one emailed response and a prepaid return label, Zavvi makes you run an obstacle course. However this works out, they already lost a good customer. Date of experience: September 23, 2020Ordered 3 items last week and they should be here by now but haven't shipped yet. They took their money fast enough though. Emailed to cancel the order and still no response after 3 days. They seem to have plenty of time to tweet and market, but not provide their basic services for customers. I'm going to give them another day before I file a fraud alert with my cc Date of experience: September 6, 2020I'm surprised to see bad reviews about zavvi. I have ordered games many times and always received them within a few days, never had any problem. I live close to england where I think this company is founded. The games are about 25%-50% cheaper than in my country (netherlands), even the brand new ones. Date of experience: February 25, 2014Ordered an electric scooter as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. On opening it she found that it did not work. We reported the issue and initially they responded saying they would arrange a replacement, then when chased as we have heard nothing….they now respond by saying that because it was ordered 40 days ago, they will not replace or refund. Totally disgusted with this company, the goods are clearly faulty because the scooter dies not work….so surely must be covered under UK law as faulty and replaceable……but this firm don't give a damn about a disappointed child at Christmas, they have had their money and not now bothered. My advice to anyone thinking of using Zavvi, is don't….. Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: December 28, 2022Ordered something in November. Said by december. Now it says by april. I asked for refunds in emails but the customer service is such bad english they dont understand and just dont refund me. Going to cc company. Date of experience: December 11, 2020Zavvi use another rating based site and ask you to review your recent purchase but then for anyone who leaves one star feedback they remove it stating it goes against the t&cs as you can only review service. Even when service was mentioned they remove it to boost their scores. Shocking. Z Box quality is now terrible, when you complain you get fobbed off, trying to return boxes is complicated and costly. No real means of getting in touch with company. Terrible. Avoid. Date of experience: July 1, 2016In Nov 2021 I pre ordered 3 funko pops. I requested a update in Jan 2022 and was told they will be in stock soon. May 2022 and no word, so I used online chat and it was confirmed they over sold pre orders. They had no idea when stock would or if sent. I asked for those to be cancelled and refunded. It's now Aug 2022 and I'm still fighting for my refund, they keep saying its being taken care of but nothing received so I've made a complaint to trading standards offices in Bristol. I'm still going back and forth, I've been asked for my evidence multiple times. I just get excuses each time from another CS handler. Tip for consumers:Do Not pre order. They over sell. Go to local independent companies instead as they won't over sell. Products used:I bought funko pops never recieved. Date of experience: August 30, 2022Poor experience. Dispatch of a gift was overdue by several days. Tried to cancel since order had not yet been dispatched... instead several unhelpful advisers have suggested I wait for it to be dispatched, delivered and then return and wait for a refund. Since items were still sat in a warehouse and cancellation policy states an ability to cancel within 14 days this is entire rubbish. I'll never order from this company again and will recommend that family / friends / business stays well clear. Date of experience: March 21, 2017Its been over a month of me trying to get a simple refund for some funko pops they sent me that were completely crushed and worthless by the time i got them they are not taking any responsibility they just keep sending messages to send them pictures i've already done that multiple times still no solution im out of over $80 Tip for consumers:dont use it use another site Products used:none Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: October 21, 2021zavvi.com Sent a copy of Finding Dory that doesn't play in American DVD players. After trying the DVD in several players they would not allow us to return because it was now opened.

They didn't even bother to personally respond to this issue. Please shop on Amazon or any other site that stands behind their products. Date of experience: March 5, 2017
