Excellent service. My visit today was dual purpose, for carpet fitting quote and to purchase a small sander. Unfortunately I forgot to take my room measurement diagram but Paul at Tapi was very... See more

Dreadful service. Online order indicated the product available in Biggleswade store. Was greeted by a sales assistant, who didn’t have a clue on ‘click and collect’ process, and informed me my product... See more

Easy collection

Easy to order online and to select in-store collection, the process of collection at Biggleswade was slick and well handled.

I have unfortunately had to return the goods for a refund as a very small part failed. I sought, and received a replacement part from the manufacturer but on fitting this also failed. hence I had to return the goods to my nearest store in Biggleswade.
I would like to point out how good the store’s customer service was - quite brilliant, no qualms no hesitation and such a great difference to the appalling servicer from the manufacturer to whom I also approached. Thank you Biggleswade - you were excellent in comparison to the manufacturer! Furthermore, having now seen the model I chose in the flesh, I now realise I need a lighter version as it would be too heavy for my wife and myself, both being 80-year olds!!

Poor product knowledge

We wanted paint for our lounge & needed 20 litres. This is difficult as your shelves only hold 3 cans. No more stock out the back. There was 2 x 5 litre cans & 3 x 2.5 litre cans in the colour we had chosen. I asked at the till if we could have one of the 2.5 litre cans at £12 instead of £15 as there was an offer on them. 2 for £24. After total confusion at the till and not knowing what offers are on what paint. She put it through without telling me that they wouldn’t do the £12 price, she didn’t want to tell me and only when I queried it she said no they couldn’t do it. It is very difficult to get paint for a large room when there is hardly any cans on the shelf.

Hi Team,

Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately we can't hold lots of stock available for every colour of paint in store but the store should be able to order paint in for you or you can go online to our website here - https://www.homebase.co.uk/paint-decorating.list

Kind Regards

Communication should be made easier

Communication should be made easier. Our mower did not arrive and we waited in all day Sat. I couldn’t get through to a voice, just messages and machines. It didn’t come Sunday and I tried again to make contact and left messages here from CSD that they hadn’t been able to find my delivery slot but would be in touch within 3 days. Our machine had blown upon Friday and my husband wanted to get the grass cut before Monday. No such luck. The machine finally arrived on Monday. Not what we expected from Homebase and very disappointed.

Easy process to use click & collect

Easy process to use click & collect. Item wasn't available on shop floor, but online said 1 available. Used click & collect and received item within one hour. Glad we tried otherwise it would have been a wasted visit.

Bad click and collect experience

I did a click and collect and was kept waiting for 10 minutes. I had ordered play sand and when it was brought out it was soaking wet and all the bags were covered in wet sand (leaked through the air holes) which was then transferred to my car!

Ordered a garden storage unit

Ordered a garden storage unit. Had a phone call to say the one I wanted was not in the store but they would upgrade to a Keter one and refund me 10%.
Very helpful on collection. 5*

The store out that I purchased was damaged. I have repaired the part that was broken so I could assemble it, as I did not want the bother of returning it. Some screws didn't fit so I had to drill a small hole for screws to bite into. Quality not as good as last time I purchased similar from Homebase.
