Primark - does not abide by consumer statutory rights !

I bought a set of men’s underwear on 2 October 25 and one item is faulty. The elastic band is split. As we live some distance I went to store today 16 October 25 to request an exchange of that one item. The till assistant called the manager in the Croydon store as she said they don’t exchange underwear. I absolutely understand they don’t exchange if you change your mind or it doesn’t fit but I thought it is different if the item is not fit for purpose and faulty. In uk you should get either refund or exchange for faulty items. Anyway manager said no as it was underwear and told me to complain. Surely this is a breach of consumer law ? This has never happened to me in my entire life regarding a faulty item when a store has been contacted within 30 days and they have not honoured their responsibility.
The only saving grace is their items are cheap so is a minor expense and I can live with it but it is not right for Primark to breach the law while operating in uk .
I am very disappointed but glad I had this experience because it is important to know that Primark does abide by consumer law even if the item is substandard, not fit for purpose and faulty and take to store well within the 30 day statutory limit. So please be warned

Absolutely atrocious

Absolutely atrocious. I wanted to purchase a cardigan that was advertised on their website as being in stock in both of their Oxford Street stores. Unfortunately, they do not allow purchase of this item on the internet and so I travelled for over an hour and a half into London to purchase one. Neither store had any in stock and no-one could tell me why this item was still showing “in stock” on their website. Speaking with other customers within the stores this was of no surprise to them at all. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY TRAVELLING TO FIND THEIR STOCK. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EXPENSIVE EXERCISE!

Bought bedding from Primark in Birmingham city centre and have never itched like I did before, I immediately threw everything out and bought fresh bedding from another store (Dunhelm). You get what you pay for in Primark…..cheap & nasty.

Never again!!!!

It appears I'm not the only one unable to contact Primarc Customer Service by phone. The reviews are very bad as regards to telephone communication. I don't know why they even bother advertising the telephone number if they have no intention of answering as it's a very bad reflection on the Primary stores.

Very, very, disappointing. It doesn't even deserve 1 star in my opinion...0 stars would be my preference!!!

On 30th September i went to Primark in Wolverhampton where by l was verbally attacked and call a person with an attitude.
The cashier involved was allowed to abuse me in front of the public who were queuing up to pay for their goods. This Offender was allowed to verbally abuse me without any thing done to top it all a customer on the shop floor got involved as she knew the cashier. She threatened to Bang me outside the store. Now l am a regular Customer who spends 100's of pounds. I am disgusted and hope no one ever goes through what l did. I was finally escorted of the premises by the security whilst the member of staff and her friend laughed in my face.

I never shop here, but I made the fatal mistake of ordering a few things only of course to find that they were horrible and cheap looking. My gripe is this refunds can take up to 10 working days! In what universe do they think that that is appropriate? Honestly never ever again.

Absolutely diabolical Customer Service & communication! I’m not sure why they bother having that Department in the first place. I emailed a few times to report a faulty item which I had delivered and nothing-zero-nada, response. I even tweeted them and again nothing!
This is clearly a company with a zero care and all about raking the money in.
It’s quite shocking that they can get away with that in 2025.
Obviously cheap in all and every way.
Shame they don’t have less than 1star rating.
Taking my money elsewhere

Primark Grimsby - zero stars!

Would give 0 stars if possible! Primark at Freshney place Grimsby, I'd gone upstairs into the men's section to purchase some items, I see a sign saying cash desk so head over to pay, another sign said C&C and in store purchases to be met by a rude young woman who said I can't pay here unless I'm collecting, I asked where it said that, was told its company policy, I reiterated where does it say that, pointing out to her that this is a cash desk as per signage. I work in retail as a manager and her attitude was disgraceful, perhaps speak to your customers with some decency next time rather than be abrupt.

Disappointed!!

Disappointed!!! I thought Primark was the same store regardless to which country you made a purchase. Grabbed some jeggings for my daughter whilst in Prague. Unfortunately, I got the wrong size. Tried to do an exchange in my local Primark to be told NO. It’s all the same company …. What’s the problem!!! Won’t go in again!!! Not a good service, the manager at Merryhill not helpful.

Don’t rely on click & collect

Did a click & collect for the co-ords that were everywhere on TikTok, only once I received days later (due up delay) half of it was missing!! If I’d have known there wasn’t a guarantee to receive everything then I would have gone straight to Burton after work, whilst there were still some left. Now I have nothing matching in the colours I wanted!! Very unhappy, as clearly I’m not going to get any now
