I have just come from your your Showroom in Diss. We had see a chair online that we had fallen in love with priced f431.00 in Teal velvet. Called Laurie On Arriving at the store we found identical chair but it was priced £750,00 in the sale in grey. We approached your sales lady who looked online and told us that they would never sell that chair at that price. I have always understood that once a price is advertised the seller must respect the transaction at the price advertised. Your store is about an hour from us and your staff member did not try to satisfy us. I look forward to your response. Shame my husband has in many occasions recommended your store instead of Glasswells.

Dear Mrs Price,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for bringing this matter to our attention.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the price error on our website. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating it must have been to travel such a distance after seeing the chair online at a specific price, only to arrive and find this was not the case.

As outlined in our Terms and Conditions under the Errors and Omissions section, any typographical, clerical, or other accidental errors or omissions in the content of our website are subject to correction without liability on our part. While this does not lessen your disappointment, we do want to be transparent that, unfortunately, occasional pricing or listing errors can happen. We are a family-run business with a small, dedicated team who work extremely hard to keep our website accurate and up to date. With hundreds of products listed across our site, despite our best efforts, there will inevitably be occasional errors or omissions, and in this instance, we sincerely apologise that this affected your visit.

Customer service is something we take immense pride in, and we are disappointed to hear that you felt unsupported during your visit. This certainly does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide, which is supported by our 5/5 Trustpilot score, where we are currently ranked #1 nationwide in the categories of Sofa Store, Carpet Retail Shop, and Flooring Shop.

We would genuinely love the opportunity to make this right and welcome you both back to our showroom. As a small gesture of goodwill, we would be delighted to offer you and your husband complimentary coffee and cake in our café at a time that suits you. If you would be so kind to email: josh@johndoe.co.uk then I will sort this out for you as a matter of urgency.

We truly value your feedback, and we hope we may have the chance to restore your faith in us.

Excellent carpenter and customer service

The experience of purchasing a new hall floor from John Doe's was excellent from start to finish. On the day of the fitting our carpenter Jack arrived promptly in the morning. He was courteous, hard working and cleaned everything as he went along .He is obviously a very competent carpenter as the floor looks amazing and has transformed the look of the hall. I would certainly purchase from this company again.

John Doe and their staff are professional and above all courteous and very helpful.

The helpfulness of the staff at the store and the amazing floor and carpet fitters. We had just moved into a new build bungalow and only had pitch floors. The store staff were very helpful and pushed through our order as quickly as they were able. The fitters came on various days as we were fitted in when they were able. We still had boxes that needed to be unpacked and were just about everywhere. We were also unwell with very bad colds but these guys were beyond helpful, they moved furniture and boxes to enable them to work, my husband has respiratory problems and couldn't help but these guys just got on with the job. I just want to give a massive shout out to Kyle and George who laid the flooring and then Kev, Stuart, Louis, Charlie and Billy who between them fitted the carpet throughout our bungalow. We can't thank them enough for their cheerful attitudes, courtesy, professionalism and friendliness while they were with us. Their work was perfect and we are more than satisfied. Thank you guys.

Great service from Simon and Scott today. Called beforehand and gave very accurate timings. They arrived and had to take the furniture up a lot of steps. They couldn't have been more helpful! Would definitely recommend!

Great service!

Had my sofas delivered today by Scott & Simon, great service as I only popped into store yesterday to arrange delivery! They were very friendly and respectful of my property, removed their shoes and were quick and efficient, even pointing out the fact the furniture had USB ports which we weren't aware of. Great team

Great choice, and very helpful sales team

John Doe had a huge choice of chairs, so it could have been difficult to know which one was right. But the sales team were extremely helpful, talked us through the options, and took their time to explain the differences between the various models. Thank you!

New engineered oak floor.

We have just seen our new floor which was fitted by Jack while we were away. We are delighted. He has done a great job, screeding, fitting the floor and shaving all the doors. Everything was left very tidy. Our only query is that there was not a single plank or even scrap of wood over. Is that correct? Was every single piece used with no leftovers?

Thank you very much for your kind review—we’re delighted to hear that you’re so pleased with the finished floor and that Jack’s work met your expectations.

In regard to your query, we carefully calculated the materials to keep the job as cost-efficient as possible and to minimise wastage. This approach helps keep overall costs down for our customers. Any small offcuts (of which there was minimal) that remained were removed at the end of the job to ensure everything was left clean and tidy.

If you have any further questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re always happy to help.

Fantastic service from start to finish! 😊

We recently had our whole house carpeted and couldn’t be happier with the experience from start to finish. 😊

We mainly dealt with Simon in the flooring department, who was absolutely fantastic (as was Sam!). I struggle quite badly with OCD, so organising the carpets was a particularly stressful process for me, but I honestly couldn’t have been treated with more kindness, patience and understanding. Simon went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly while taking my worries into account.

The fitters Ash, Simon and Kyle were also incredibly kind and considerate, doing everything they could to make the process easier for me. On top of that, the quality of their work is excellent - we’re so pleased with the final result!

We’ve since purchased a bed from the furniture department, and the delivery service was just as brilliant.

Thank you again to everyone involved - especially Simon for all his patience and reassurance. We’ll definitely be returning in the future! 😊
