Gift List help please!

Hi!

Were using John Lewis gift list service and it seems pretty straight forward so far. You just pick what you'd like, either in store or on the web (in store you get a coffee and a cake!). They also send you inserts to include in your wedding invites with gift list info on and deliver for free. I love John Lewis, though!

Thanks for your replies!

Bonnie - that is exactly the sort of reviews I've seen online that are putting me off!

WW - we are thinking about John Lewis as an alternative, but our nearest store is about 40 mins away, so it is further for our guests to go if they don't use the Internet.

Has anyone else used John Lewis? Are they good at delivering the gifts afterwards etc?

Are debenhams and John Lewis really the only options if we don't want it to be only online?

I think Etsy do one, and I also think that not on the high street do a gift list service too

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!

What?! OMG that would be so awesome!! I was about to get shot of the whole 'gift list' idea

Ha ha ha, I hope they do and that I just didn't dream it lol!

We used John Lewis and they were brilliant. We went into the store to do the scanning but you can pick your list online. Gift vouchers can be included too. There were no reported problems with the website.

We were able to arrange delivery for a day that suited us. We had a long honeymoon so they ended up being delivered about 6 weeks after the wedding. I think they say they charge you for storage after 4 weeks, but we weren't charged anything. We also didn't have to pay anything for a Saturday delivery (which you do for normal orders with JL). They told me in advance that a couple of items were missing, and we were able to chose between picking them up in store or having them delivered through the normal post (they were small items). The vouchers have to be delivered registered post or collected in store.

They followed up after to check everything was ok with the delivery. When I mentioned one small item was damaged but I haven't had chance to call them yet or pop into the store, they mailed a replacement out straight away.

All in all, a very positive experience. Writing this does make me think I should write them a proper review!

We've used John Lewis, so far I've been very happy with the service and the website is really easy to use. Not had delivery yet but it's booked in

Thanks for the replies. Think we are going to go on a trip to our nearest John Lewis tomorrow and have a chat to someone and a look round.

Thanks for all the replies. We have been and registered with John Lewis today. They were lovely, so hoping the rest of the experience will be just as good!
