First class experience.

Thank you Banks Lyon for a first class experience. I made my purchase online. The website is excellent. Had to call into the Lancaster branch for a fitting. That’s next level. Recently refitted, beautifully appointed, wonderful staff. Couldn’t be happier. Special shout out to Aziza, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, as always.

absolutely horrendous service

absolutely horrendous service, drove all the way from Leeds to look at a watch which had been put aside for me to view, my daughter had arranged for this to be a special occasion with the staff prior to our arrival as it was my 60th birthday present and a surprise (in response to the reply we were never asked to book an appointment and were assured the request would be cascaded to the rest of the team the staff member was aware we could not book as we were travelling from Leeds), when we arrived the lady on the desk at the front looked at us blankly when my husband introduced himself no one seemed to know anything about us coming we were sent to sit at a table with dirty coffee cups on it, when a staff member came with the watch we explained the dirty cups were not ours! the girl moved them and said ' did you want a drink' we declined, i looked at the watch which was perfect but when my husband expressed his disappointment about the experience not being what had been promised which was for us to be seated in a pleasant environment with a glass of fizz and shown the omega watch the girl said im sorry but we are short staffed and have been busy, it wasn't me that dealt with the arrangements it was my colleague and she is busy, the colleague in question had already given wrong information regarding the return policy the week prior to our visit which she had apologized for and arranged the special viewing of the watch as it was a surprise that i knew nothing about and she said she would make it special, i was absolutely shocked that a shop selling high end products could treat customers as they treated us, i asked the girl serving us to put the watch away whilst i had a think, we returned to explain we would not be purchasing the watch from them and our disgust at the service, the only thing that was repeatedly said was sorry but we have been busy, as a customer who was willing to spend a significant amount of money this excuse is not good enough as the customer comes first and if is treated properly would be willing to wait!! fortunately i have been able to order the watch from a wonderfully professional well established jewelers in Leeds and i am willing to wait for it rather than purchasing it from banks lyon

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, Carole. We are truly sorry to hear how disappointed you were with your visit.

Unfortunately, without an appointment on this occasion, we were unable to ensure that the Sales Associate your daughter spoke with previously, would be available upon your visit. As our staff repeatedly apologised for, we were extremely busy that day, but I am sorry to hear this ruined your experience.

As the North West’s most premier Jewellers who have been in business for our 40 years, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, as demonstrated by our 600+ 5 Star Reviews to date. We have passed your feedback onto the team, and we apologise again that we failed to meet your expectations this time.

From the moment you walk in you are made to feel very welcome. Hannah was very helpful in helping me find the watch I was interested in and gave us time, with a cup of tea to decide. On our return to pick up my watch we dealt with Jake who made our purchasing experience more of an occasion, so much so that we made another purchase while we were there! It’s a beautiful shop and all the staff are lovely and friendly, they even brought our little dog a drink.
Thank you, we love our purchases.

Outstanding service from Banks Lyon and Aziza

I’ve dealt with Banks Lyon for a number of years, specifically with Aziza and cannot fault the service or quality of the store. They have always been responsive and do their best to go the extra mile for the customer which honestly helps with the buying experience. It’s not easy to find a reliable and genuine Authorised Dealer these days but with Aziza, I know I can count on her reactive approach and customer focused attitude. Will continue to keep shopping here.

Unbelievably bad

Wow!!!!

This has to be the worst experience I have ever had in buying a watch!

Bought a watch as was advertised online paid fully advertised price and money taken and cleared.

Then get a phone call to say they don’t really have the watch they have advertised and will refund the money 🤔

Let this be a warning to anyone buying they don’t actually have the goods they advertise

Hi Kieran,

We’d like to clarify the situation, as your review doesn’t fully reflect what happened.

The product page you accessed was not a live listing available to the public. It was created specifically for an existing client in relation to a watch that has a significant waiting list, and was intended to remain private. Unfortunately, it was incorrectly indexed by Google and appeared in search results.

As soon as your order came through, we contacted you within the hour to explain the situation and issued a full refund immediately, so you were not left out of pocket at any stage.

We appreciate this wasn’t the experience you expected; however, this was a genuine indexing error rather than a case of advertising stock that doesn’t exist.

Perfect

I used Banks Lyon to purchase a Cartier watch for my wife’s birthday. Have to say the experience was great. They were really friendly and helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use again.

Many thanks.

Generally good and attentive service ( I have purchased 5 watches in the last 12 months.
However I waited around 3 months for the repair to the strap of a man’s Tissot watch .
In addition, I received an email from the company inviting me to the opening of your new extension, but this was addressed to someone else . Upon questioning the sender , I received an apology and confirmation that as a valued customer I would be receiving a definite invitation in due course… Guess what ?nothing received… which was disappointing considering the purchases I have made.

Thank you for your continued support, Paul, it really does mean a great deal to us, especially as a returning customer, and we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We’re very sorry the repair took as long as it did, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. While these repairs can sometimes take longer with the manufacturer, we know this wasn’t the experience we want for you.

We’re also very sorry for the mix up with your invitation, and we're looking into what happened to make sure it does not happen again. The team appreciate your loyalty. It’s always a pleasure looking after you, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Amazing service and communication!!

What a fantastic experience I had with Aziza and Banks Lyon Jewellers!
Aziza was a fantastic communicator and answered all my questions promptly with pictures of the watch I wanted, she sent out the gorgeous watch I purchased the next day and I received the day after before 1pm! Excellent and fast service.
The watch is just as described and very gorgeous, a lovely treat for my birthday. I even got a special birthday card and chocolates- such a kind gesture.
I will definitely be returning when I need some more jewellery!
Thank you again Aziza and all at Banks Lyon!

Super service experience.

Not being a local, I’ve used Banks Lyon several times from a distance (south coast) for watches and jewellery. Aziza has been excellent help and the whole package of service is superb. I really like the WhatsApp communication lines we have. It makes everything super easy. Top marks.
