Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many consumers appreciate the quality of the products, finding items like curtains and furniture to be well-made and as expected. People often find the ordering process straightforward, whether online or in-store, and many praise the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, especially in specific departments or for in-store assistance. Delivery experiences are frequently positive, with customers noting good communication, timely arrivals, and careful handling of items. However, some people were dissatisfied with aspects of their experience, particularly concerning delivery issues like missing items, delayed shipments, or couriers leaving packages unattended. A few other people also felt that product descriptions or colors online did not accurately match the received items, leading to returns. There are also occasional mentions of difficulty finding staff in-store or issues with self-service tills, and some customers have reported problems with incorrect or faulty items, particularly with made-to-measure products or items that appeared to have been previously returned.

Dunelm is a great store which I visit regularly, I also order click and collect. Their products are very good. I've deducted a star because it's hard to find a member of staff for help in store and... See more

This was my first ever experience of…

This was my first ever experience of Dunelm and all was wonderful until a week later when I received a £60 parking fine! I had presumed that parking was free and unlimited for customers which, given the money I spent in the store it certainly should have been. I will therefore not be returning.

Misrepresented product, poor service, poor return process

Where do you start? The product I bought looked nothing like the image on the website. I tried to send it back but it was too heavy to book a collection and I was informed I had to take it to a store myself to get a refund. I’m literally nowhere near a store and I can’t carry 36kg on my own so what am I to do? I paid for a couple of guys to help me get the item into my car and took it to Crewe. When I got to the counter I was told I couldn’t return it because it didn’t have the original packaging? Bearing in mind there are over 40 parts and the packaging would need to be removed to be able to build the product. So here I am, £300 out of pocket because the product looked nothing like the website image, wasn’t returnable because I didn’t save the cardboard and blanked completely by the team member who took great delight in telling me I had to take this 36kg hunk of junk out of the store because there is ‘nothing we can do without original packaging.’ You’d be better off risking a cheap Temu purchase than buying a misrepresented piece of crap from Dunelm. Really poor product, service and returns process. DONT BE FOOLED BECAUSE ITS A RECOGNISABLE NAME.

Happy customer

I'm happy with the product I bought. The soaps were reasonably priced and the click and collect service in store was quick no hassle. Thank you

Delivery was a nightmare

Delivery drivers were horrendously rude and inept. Wouldn't deliver the sofa and told us it was our fault they can't read a map. No way to complain to Dunelm, just a useless AI chatbot. Avoid this company as if something goes wrong there is no recourse to the customer.

We wanted black cushions

We wanted black cushions, you had black cushions. A member of staff was at hand and he dealt with the order.
Delivery was when you said it would be. The cushions are now in situ and we are very happy with them.

Rubbish customer service

You could not locate the item I had purchased on line when I turned up at the store to collect after being told it was ready, I was also told I could buy it at another store but you would not transfer it to my chosen location.What is particularly annoying is I have already told you all this in a previous survey.SHOWS HOW MUCH NOTICE YOU TAKE OF THEM.

Olney Hallway Shoe Storage Unit

Bought an Olney Hallway Shoe Storage Unit. It’s a nice unit however the wood top was damaged in two places, I discovered this late in the assembly process. It’s not worth the effort to spend another half day building another one. I’ll just live with it as it’s not very noticeable. Other criticism is the assembly instructions, there are some steps that are not clear at all.
Pleased with the unit overall but shouldn’t come with damaged parts.

Fantastic service from dunelm

The service from everyone at dunelm Barnstaple was fantastic, so patient and knowledgeable, we got out whole house fitted with vertical blinds and all but our very large patio doors were fitted first time perfectly, our patio door blind took 3 goes to get it right because of the wrong size being sent from the manufacturer, now all fitted correctly we are very happy with the outcome

Very happy with our recent purchase…

Very happy with our recent purchase from Dunelm. The TV unit is exactly as I hoped. Quality piece of furniture. It was well packaged, so delivered with no damage. The delivery crew were brilliant...quite a long walk from the drive to our annexe and they delivered it to its final location with no grumbles. Really efficient and professional. Would certainly purchase from Dunelm again.
