Speedy delivery within 24 hours

Speedy delivery within 24 hours. Financed it at check-out via Klarna and that was also seamless.

Hi,

You ordered an item that was not in-stock with a 2-4 week delivery time. So I think it is somewhat unfair to expect it to be with you 3 days later?

We should have the item back in-stock in the next few days.

Kind regards,
Will - iStore Webshop

We have just visited the I store in Woking with a fairly anchient ipad which had stopped working. Jack was very patient and soon had the device working again.

Avoid!!

Avoid!!! Went to Apple Cardiff which quoted £740 to repair my sons Apple MacBook Air which we thought was expensive! Apple gave us a number for an Apple approved repairer based in Hereford called the iStore, after liaising with the store & sending Liam screenshots of the damage and repairs that needed to be done they quoted us £580 which we thought was ok! Couple of days later my wife & son drove up there which is a 50 mile journey. On arrival they said it would be £90 just to look at the Mac which hadn’t been explained before we got to the store. Even though we’d already explained and provided them with screenshots Apple repair sent to us before making the journey! Anyways, my son reluctantly handed over his £90 considering they’d just a made an hour and half journey to Hereford on the basis that the repair would be £580.

Anyways, couple of days later Liam from the store rang to say the repair would be approximately £900! So we weren’t too pleased with this considering Apple quoted us £740 originally.

Refused to pay this so we asked for a refund of £90 to which Ryan said he can’t refund us because he’s only a deputy manager and he doesn’t have the authority to “go against the grain”. We then asked to speak to the store Manager Nathan after driving up to Hereford, only to find out that the repairs was actually going to cost us £1100😂😂😂.

This is after they emailed us a quotation of £580 and we verbally confirmed £900 over the phone. Refused to give us our £90 back.

Avoid these guys at all costs, we even spoke to someone in a local eatery & they said they were a con! & Apple are recommending these people! Stay well clear 😡😡😡😡

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your review, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I’ve carefully looked into the situation and would like to clarify a few points.

Our initial quote was based on the information and photos provided via email, which indicated water damage—one of the most unpredictable and challenging types of damage a computer can experience. The £90 diagnostic fee covers the fitting and testing of parts, and this was explained beforehand. Once the logic board was installed, it became apparent that the display also needed replacement, leading to the revised quote. This was a scenario we had informed you might occur.

At no point did we intend to mislead you, and we strive to be as transparent as possible with pricing. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund the diagnostic fee, as the service was completed as agreed.

If you’d like to discuss this further, feel free to contact us directly at marketing@istore.co.uk.

Dreadful experience at the Guildford…

Dreadful experience at the Guildford store.
I booked an appointment for my iPhone 14 Pro repair noting in the booking it was a cracked front screen.
Diagnostics were run on my phone and all ok but then told they had no screen in stock to even be able to carry out the repair. I understand not multiple amounts of the same items can be held as stock (and an email, I received noting about parts may be required to be ordered but when you’ve booked a specific repair for a screen replacement you’d expect that part to be in stock for your appointment). So to arrive and not have the screen that I’d specifically booked an appointment for was a total waste of my time. Furthermore to then be told by the manager ‘most people call to check the parts are in stock’. I didn’t quite realise I’m also meant to not only book the appointment but to do their job and check they’ve ordered and got parts in stock. Would I also be expected to carry out the screen replacement myself. Then the manager wanted to read the email I’d received back to me to basically show me what it said about ordering parts - which is of course just a get out excuse and an appalling way to treat customers to try and do a ‘told you so’ approach. No wonder this has happened when reading so many other poor reviews of the Guildford store.

Hi Louise,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at our Guildford store.
While we aim to keep enough parts in stock, demand can sometimes exceed expectations. In these cases, we order the part after assessing the device during an appointment time to complete repairs as quickly as possible.

We also send a confirmation email outlining the process to make sure to set the right expectations. We regret if this wasn’t clear.

Please feel free to contact us directly at marketing@istore.co.uk if you'd like to discuss further.

Broken charging port fixed - amazing service.

My iPhone had stopped charging and I was on the verge of buying an entirely new phone. On a reccomendation, I went into iStore on the Strand in London and asked them to look at it. 5 minutes later, it was completely fixed. Amazing service!

Guildford Store. Very disappointing service - took days

Guildford Store. Very disappointing service – suggest you avoid this store if you want any servicing done to your device – I got the impression that the staff doing the servicing are incompetent and badly managed.
I took my iPhone there for a battery replacement, 2 pm appointment. That seemed to go okay, but when I got home, I found that the home button was no longer recognising fingerprints. So, I got up early and was there at the store at 8:45 the next day, for the advertised opening time of 9 am. The staff were waiting around and one of them actually starting helping me out. Seems the boss had some issues and so the store didn’t actually open until 9:45 (no apology given for that). The process of trying to fix my phone then started, trying to sort the hardware, then having to do a complete reset of the phone, with the front desk guy doing a reasonable job of keeping me informed each time I returned. However, the blame is all put by them on having to do things the “Apple way”.
Then I am told it has to be new screen and that will take normally 2 hours, but they will try and do it in 1.5 hours for me as I have been waiting so long (it’s 12:10 now) so off I go to kick my heels once again. When I return 1.5 hours later, so 13:40, I am told that it’s Apple policy to give me a new phone as it is two things wrong (yesterday battery and now screen). When I later get home, I see they had sent me an email at 12:24 stating that – why didn’t they call me at 12:24 as I was wandering around Guildford? – they had my number and they had checked that before I left the shop to wander round!
And I then have to return to the shop in a few days to collect the new phone – unlike all sorts of other companies who manage to courier phones – they say they have too many bad experiences. Hmm - really - or just another inconvenience for the customer rather than iStore?
So having done three trips to Guildford, one taking most of a day, I then have the joy of setting up a phone from backup, with all the malarkey that takes, especially with banking apps - Deep Joy - not.
Overall, the repair process seems optimised for Apple/iStore's way of doing things and the customer's time is free - and that attitude permeates to the extent that they won't even bother to call the customer as the repair progresses – they just wait until the customer comes back to the store.
To summarise, the front of house staff are all pleasant enough but the back of house staff took my phone that needed just a battery change and managed to mess up the screen as well, and then couldn’t be bothered to call me when they decided the next step or needed to talk to me – that attitude no doubt driven by the top. Every time, nothing happened until I went back into the store. So, like I say, incompetent and badly managed – and thus best avoided.
(In contrast, I had dug out my old iPhone 6S to use while my main phone was being repaired. Battery not lasting very long, no longer supported by Apple, so I had to go into one of the many high street phone shops to get a new battery - I had lots of time on my hands! Matey changes it out in ten minutes in front of me, costs £30. Sure, I have no warranty but hey, the phone is nine years old. The contrast between that and iStore cannot be starker.)

Hi Al,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and apologise for the inconvenience you faced.

Firstly, we regret the delay in opening the store that morning caused by unforeseen circumstances.

Regarding your iPhone battery replacement and the subsequent Touch ID issue, we understand how frustrating it must have been.
We replaced the battery successfully and performed an extensive diagnostic test (using Apple’s system) on the device before handing it back. All the tests passed, including the Touch ID, therefore there was no reason for the tech department to suspect any malfunction.
We attempted both a revive and a restore, but neither resolved the problem. When we went to process the display replacement, Apple’s system flagged that a whole unit replacement was required. Unfortunately, we do not have any decisional power on the matter and we are not able to override.

We acknowledge that our communication could have been better. We should have ensured you were informed more promptly, especially considering the inconvenience of travelling back and forth. Our intention was to keep the repair options open for you and not lock into a decision without your consent.

We have noted your feedback about the lack of call updates and will improve our processes to avoid similar situations in the future. Given we had your phone, we assumed you didn't have another device to contact you on, but we should have clarified this and found a way to keep you better informed.

While we strive to provide top-notch service, we fell short in this instance. We appreciate your patience and the time you took to share your experience. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us improve our service.

If there's anything further we can do to make this right, please let us know.
