Gold star Customer Service

This week I visited Berwick Upon Tweed branch to have a look lawnmowers. Danny was so helpful and between us decided which was most suitable for my needs. Because of his excellent unobtrusive friendly customer service he made a sale and even helped me get the purchase into my car. When I arrived home it became apparent a tiny part was missing through no fault of the Store, just one of those things. To save me having to make another journey Craig offered to run the item to the other side of town to give it to my daughter so se could bring it home after work. I have spent many years in my past career working for top establishments offering the very best customer service and I am often disappointed by the lack of it when the boot is on the other foot. I have to say the staff at Berwick are absolutely fantastic and a credit to the Homebase. I really hope the company recognise these fantastic employees as they are a credit to them. Thanks guys, you will be my first choice next time I need anything!

Disgusting Customer Service - Homebase Berwick

Homebase Berwick

I purchased a Karcher K4 pressure washer May 2023.

It has developed a fault despite minimal use, i called the store and spoke to the SM who was more interested in stating policies rather than helping and point blank refused to offer an exchange and put all responsibility onto Karcher ( i purchased this item from Homebase not Karcher ) I have full proof of purchase but the contract stated by your SM is with me and karcher not Homebase …… slippy shoulders?

What happened to just doing the right thing and a bit of common sense ?

A customer is for life ? Just not when they shop as Homebase Berwick…….

Is this the level of customer experience I can expect whilst shopping with Homebase ?

Going forward I will be shopping elsewhere - I can vaguely remember Homebase being a leading retailer but sadly with this level of care - it wont be .

In town im sure the several other retailers will relish my business.

Thanks

Unhappy Homebase Customer

In response to your reply…………..

Homebase ………

Firstly read the review before responding, i have never said I am unhappy with the product, the product is great however its developed a fault after 9 months of use.

I am unhappy with your policy, your lack of compassion, your lack of empathy.

If you read your response it just echoes everything I have said - slippy shoulders , lack of good customer service.

Hi Cameron,

Thank you for your review, we're sorry that you are unhappy with the product you purchased. As this was purchased more than 6 months ago the onus is on the customer to provide evidence that the fault is due to a manufacturing error, without this we are unable to assist further in this case.

Kind Regards

It was fine but a shame that the item couldn’t be bought directly in the store. My husband couldn’t buy the item in store and was told there were none available however when I looked online there were 3 available so I bought one and he had to go all the way back to the store to collect it,

Click and Collect

I phoned to order on 13th and was sent message to say ready to collect within the hour. Collected the pressure washer today the 14th and it was sitting ready for me so whole experience was excellent. The staff were excellent and would have no problem using the click and collect again and also had a browse round the store.
