To confirm, booked repair online on the Monday, by weds night, around 8:45pm, new TV was in my bedroom.

Run away from this company as fast as possible. Between D&G, Whirlpool and Hotpoint, they can't arrange an engineer revisit to save their lives.

I got passed from call centre to call centre saying they can't help, just kept getting asked to try calling a different number.

The icing on the cake was the last number they gave me was no longer in use.

It's Frankensteins monster of insurance companies. Will definitely leave before my next renewal and I won't look back. They are not worth the money I'm paying.

Tldr: avoid at all costs, I beg you.

When I purchased my £999 Macbook Air via the John Lewis website I also purchased Domestic & General insurance for accidental damage.
I had spilled a liquid over my laptop and I sent my MacBook Air in for repair, and after three weeks, I received my laptop in a flimsy paper envelope with dents all over it. I had received the laptop in WORSE condition than when I had shipped it.
Even worse, the laptop had not been repaired. There were no indications that the laptop had been repaired at all.
It's been more than two months since I sent my laptop in for repair, and it still hasn't been fixed.
After filing a complaint about my broken laptop, I contacted Domestic & General support (nearly 3 weeks after filing the complaint), and they had the audacity to lie to me over the phone. They claimed that the laptop repair company had made "several attempts to reach me." This is a blatant lie because I read my emails on a daily basis, including the junk folder.
They then lied to me on the phone, claiming that they had "called me earlier" and that I had told them that I was "unavailable”.
I had never had a call from them before, and I had informed the support representative of this, who was quick to deny it and tried to shrug it off.
They further claimed the flimsy envelope was "Apple approved packing." I've had many repairs done in the past, and this was NOTHING LIKE the packaging my laptop is typically packed in. This packaging would never be approved by Apple, as there is no bubble wrap to protect the laptop.
They had requested that I forward images of the dents on my laptop which I have done so and it has been 18 days and I have not got any update.
I purchased insurance for peace of mind but the service I have experienced has been the complete opposite. Instead I have been without a laptop for over 2 months and I have had lies fed to me the entire time.
My feedback to Domestic and General: Please assist me in resolving my issue; I want a fair and timely resolution that will satisfy me.

I had all my kitchen appliances on your cover. Called you because my dishwasher wasnt operating correctly and damaged. engineer visits on a number of occasions, still waiting for parts, I make a complaint and you write to tell me the machine functions correctly and I am satisfied with the repair. If I was satisfied I wouldnt have called you...no time scale for the parts or repair and currently 30 minutes on hold time to your laughable customer service team....I have an appliance currently held together with insulating tape and the company tell me its fine.

WORSE COMPANY EVER!! BEWARE

Been with this company for years but when called out for a radiator leak, the engineer came out but refused to repair the leak as he said the condition wasn’t good in the property.

There was a baby in the house with no heating for a couple of days but the engineer will not show any sympathy. It was only a five minutes repair I’ve done myself. After paying this company for years.

Tried to ring the Domestic & General a few times and was put on hold for hours and then put my phone down. After trying for weeks finally got through to a complaint department then they refuse to refund me and disconnect my phone and cancel my policy too.

Now I’m writing to the directors of the company to make them aware of the situation I hope they will help.

Please stay away from this company the worst company ever once you need to call them out.

Trouble with my Beko freezer. After queuing for 34 mins on the phone to D&G, appointment made for two days time. Promised to receive a phone call for ETA on morning of appointment, but no contact from them, rung 4:00pm, on queue for 42 mins. No apology, no explanation just a “I’ll log a complaint for you”. No offer of a follow up appointment. Took to Twitter to vent my disappointment (no swearing, just factual). Blocked 10 minutes later by D&G. Happy to take your money, not interested in providing you with a service - leave well alone.

People always wonder whether domestic appliance insurance is worthwhile. Domestic and General are the main players in this market.

In my opinion, as someone on an average income with very little 'wiggle room' in my finances, this cover is worth it's weight in gold. I would have needed to replace my washer four times over in the last three years without it.

The engineer is sent out quickly and the problem is fixed quickly. My premiums are reasonable and it gives me peace of mind that an appliance so critical to normal family life is covered without me having to find hundreds of pounds without warning for call out and repairs.

True, your appliance may never break down but, for a couple of pounds a month, I personally believe the peace of mind is worth it.

Domestic and General are easy to contact, friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them.
