Helpful staff and quick service but every bag of slate was ripped. Someone had clearly just thrown the bags on the collection trolley without thinking.

I visit regularly and Carole is on the main till she is superb . She always acknowledges customers when she sees them come in you feel like she knows you . She is efficient on the till talks to customers welcoming and always smiles and makes you feel special . For Carole to make old miserable people like me feel good that is a miracle well done Carole .r

Very Poor Customer Service

I returned a heavy item ( a bedroom chair) to the Belfast Store, Boucher Rd, on Tuesday evening. The young fella on the customer services desk watched as I struggled to carry the chair over to the cash desk to request a refund. Please train your staff to help customers, not to stand talking to their colleague and watch a customer struggle.

Hi Deirdre, 

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for any disappointment caused - We can see your review is related to a different location so we'd be grateful if you could update your review and change the location to "Belfast". We'll ensure your feedback is fed back to the store and looked into further. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss this further.

Thanks,

Having failed to get the item from another store showing stock online (but having none), I ordered online for collection at Bicester. Into the entrance, desk immediately to the right, handed over order details, item there on the floor ready, out the door - the whole process taking about 45 seconds! Can't complain about that.

Was served by a lovely lady who pointed me in the right direction for the product I needed. I was so impressed with her customer service that I had a browse around and found another item that I had forgotten I needed after I broken my old lopper in the autumn .

Excellent help and product!

Excellent customer service. Was greeted at the door and directed to exactly what I needed. A member of staff also helped advise me on which product was the best choice.

searching for an ironing board cover…

we were unable to find item we wanted to purchase although it said 6 were available in store.
Mary at customer services spoke to someone who said they were in the warehouse. Mary kindly went and fetched several so we had a choice of colour

Early collection and a rude manager

Website advertises you can collect 30mins before stated opening time on a Sunday.
Store didn't open early for collections or browsing. Multiple staff acknowledged I was stood at the door abd refused to speak to me. When I spoke to the manager he told me he was unaware of 30mins early opening. Despite I could see the advert on the screen on the computer he was stood at.

Manager was rude and claimed to be unaware of the online adverts.
