Savings on paint at homebase

Hello, I was served by Sandra who was once again very helpful. She advised me that the paint I was buying was on offer if I buy it in multiples.A clear saving with great value for money. Excellent thank you Sandra.

Really helpful staff at Colchester

Really friendly and helpful staff today at the Colchester branch purchasing a lawn mower. Was helped by a young guy with dark hair (didn’t get his name sorry) and Sandra at customer service, both were really helpful and friendly - thanks so much

I bought two LED light bulbs

I bought two LED light bulbs. The online process was quick and easy. I was kept in the loop throughout the process. The delivery was very quick and efficient. The bulbs were also £4 cheaper than Amazon.

Ordered three cushions via click and collect. Visited our local store (Stanway Colchester) three days later to pick up our order which was ready for us and all went smoothly but what I will say is the cushions were out on the counter where I expect they had been for the three days, not in a bag or box or covered with anything and were just dumped on the counter in front of us without offering a bag or any way of carrying them. They are very light coloured cushions which would easily mark on a dirty counter top. Maybe it would be a good idea to keep the click and collect orders in some kind of container and maybe offer the customer a bag or some way of carrying them to their cars.
