I’m absolutely appalled by the service I’ve received from such a big company. Send you a faulty item and then do not give you a refund and expect you to package it up for them to collect. Why would I... See more

Not quite sure why a review is…

Not quite sure why a review is required? Ordered online collected later in day. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?

Excellent service

Matthew Toms (Homebase, Abingdon) is very knowledgeable, professional and has gone above and beyond each time we’ve seen him.

We would definitely seek his expert advice again, and would recommend his services to others ++++

Second hand goods

Chose a click & collect. On collecting the items both were handed to me in a damaged state. The assistant checked the last two in stock and they were both damaged as well. As none of them had packaging I can only assume they were ex display items, that I had been charged for. Immediately asked for a refund, I expected better

Paint

Item , paint, was brought to me a neighbour (150 metres away ). Said he had found it thrown over his fence. This is despite warning labels that it should be handled carefully. Fortunately there was no damage

Stock mismatch between website and store

The stock level on the website was wildly inaccurate so I only ended up being able to collect 3 of the 5 things I needed. And it took 20 minutes for two employees to figure it out.

The staff members were very apologetic and refunded the difference straight away.

Hopeless service

Hopeless service - ordered item for collect from store on 16th Aug because website said it would be available for next day collection (17th) and I required it for the weekend. I was not advised until 20th that the item was awaiting collection. A 3 day delay - would not have ordered item if I had known this.

We travelled 100 miles to collect the order to find only 3 packs of the 12 I ordered. The barcode or photo on the website was wrong. I took an alternative which I wouldn’t have initially chosen. No discount offered. Rather disappointed
