Absolutely awful customer service, waited too long to collect a click and collect order, staff are slow and don't seem to have a clue what's going on. Ordered online where it said there was enough... See more

Cashier was rude!

The woman at the till who served me was very rude! She was not accommodating and got very angry when asking her for the price of an item! Never met someone as rude as her in my life!

Your member of staff David is the most…

Your member of staff David is the most pleasant, friendly and professional staff member I have had the pleasure of being served by. In the many years that our family have been attending this store, David has been consistent and courteous throughout. It will be a terrible loss to the community when you close this store. But our loss is the rarity of a wonderful service provider in David. Thank you David, good luck in your future employment search.

Poor Communication

Staff @ Sutton Coldfield Branch are amazing. 10% off as the store is due to close on 8th December 3024
The issue is I purchased 6 Heavy duty Strata Trunks @ £19.80 Each = £18:80 (Original price 22.00 = £132)
On Line Advertised as 20% off if 2 storage products purchased & then on checkout Extra 10%.
On Click & collect at that store or any other store.

They Should be open and Honest - Train services have to show alternative fares if cheaper.

Spoke to a supervisor on their 0333 number- Apparently if they told you thing could be cheaper on-line, then that would have an impact but on shop floor customers .. we should be striving to give our customers the BEST SERVICE !!
As Long as the Manager’s CEO’s etc are lining their own pockets.

Why change??

So Sutton Coldfield Branch closes 8th December - To become a Sainsbury’s in the Summer. Across the road is Tesco/Aldi or Lidl & 1 other -
Pre-Xmas - In the festive spirit staff are now putting out Xmas decorations . Is this going to help Staff MENTALLY?? Having to put out Xmas decorations, knowing they will not be employed by Christmas -
This is the Salisbury Group supporting you!!

Giving feedback to relevant departments - Does not address that I was out of pocket by over £26 for buying the items in store.. and unable to return them as the store closure receipt states, other stores will only accept faulty items ..

Changed the STAR RATING TO 1 as the reply was a generic - we will feed it back & File it

Amazing Staff at Sutton Coldfield Branch

Arrived a little earlier than my collection time however wasn't a problem for the Store (Homebase - Sutton Coldfield). Regrettably didn't get the name of the Staff member but she was very polite and courteous took no issue with picking the Order. Highly recommended Store and Staff.

Staff were lovely, one staff on till :(

Staff were lovely, but only one person on a till in the whole shop,
Meaning collection people and people buying in store were all queuing,
Long queue for collecting some paint

Deborah

I had an appointment with Deborah to design my new kitchen. Deborah gave expert advice and listened to all my needs. She helped with the design, budget, styling and finishing touches. My kitchen arrived on time and the overall result is absolutely perfect. I can’t thank Deborah enough for all her advice and patience to create my wonderful kitchen.

The rude lady staff and damaged drawers

The lady staff in Sutton Coldfield store was rude as use her rolling eyes to us. She discriminated and racism against my son and me with her verbal and body language . I have told about the lady’s behaviour to the manager of the store. The drawer is a bit damaged. I will never go again, and i am going to write the same reviews on other platforms.

Clueless staff

Order stuff online from Homebase website Thursday evening website said items would be delivered to Sutton Coldfield branch on Saturday .Got a text message and email from Sutton branch on Saturday afternoon saying the items were delivered and ready to be collected.
So on Sunday drove the 13 miles to collect my items went to the collection desk and had to wait ages due to the customer service woman
Not knowing what she was doing with the customer in front of me who had ordered a barbecue first she told him it wouldn’t be delivered till end of September he said he’d had text telling him it was delivered she then told him he’d ordered 2 barbecues and made a fuss about that eventually she found his barbecue in the warehouse it was actually 1 barbecue containing 2 boxes the she came to serve me again she told me it wasn’t there i told I received text telling me it had arrived so continued to ignore that turning the screen round telling me expected delivery date will be following Tuesday in the end as a substantial queue was forming and luckily for me manpreet took over from this woman and she managed to find my items. Best part about it customer services women continued to serve the woman in the cue behind me until her mobile started ringing in her pocket so she left the woman stood there whilst she ducked into the warehouse to take her call.
Shopping online is ment to make shopping for what you want quicker and easier all I can say is that’s 50mins of my life I’ll never get back
Thank god manpreet was there
