Shabby service !!!

Shabby service !!!
Bought a tap for my kichen was wrongly advised in store on the model. Needed to get it for my plumber in advance Went back into change the model I needed was there and was more expensive .Refused any help whatsoever No exchange no refund !!what good is that to someone sitting with an item like a tap it wasn't a cheap run of paint !Contacted customer service apologies sent which weren't worth the paper they were wrote on still no soloution and no willingless to help a customer Apparently this is due to them closing down ?? What rights does the customer have because it's going into administration Apparently none! But if I had purchased online I could change it why is this ?? Loyal customer of homebase for years to be treated in this manner is disgraceful!! Buyer beware posters everywhere advertising great prices a little small one showing their refund policy ! Go figure !!

I was given a completely different product than I ordered. My partner picked it up and didn't notice until he got it home that it was a hedge trimmer and not a leaf blower. Have to go all the way back to get it changed.

Takes too long to process order to pick up. 30 mins it took from order before it generated a txt gor pick up. Quicker to walk in and just buy it of counter. If argos can do it why cant Homebase!!

Michael on the full who got me my click n collect order was excellent. His pleasant manner and attention to detail is to be commended. Even though I’d met him before he insisted I show him my ID. Homebase are very fortunate to have this man as an employee.

Stock levels are wrong but we won’t tell you that before you drive to the store to collect

Ordered the item, showed 4 in stock, drive to store to collect when I received text saying order was ready - to be told that the store didn’t actually have any of this outdoor storage unit in stock. “Sorry our system says we have 4 in stock but we don’t”….. No phonecall/text/email to warn me that the item wasn’t in stock. Really unimpressed so won’t be buying from Homebase again, will just order from Amazon instead (even though I prefer to support “local”

Hi OMK,

Having looked into your query, there was unfortunately a few items ordered, the storage unit had been refunded from the order as it had sold out from instore but the text would still have sent to inform you that your other items where ready to be collected.
I appreciate that this doesn’t allow the customer to be informed fully about order issues, We will look into a better texting system to allow you to be better informed.

Kind Regards
Homebase

Rude… do better!

I arrived at 8:30 empty car park empty store. I asked if they could lift The compost into my boot hug immediately told me they couldn’t as there’s only two staff. I pointed out that there were no customers she reluctantly made a request for the other colleague to come lift the compost for me. He arrived and never spoke a word to me despite me thanking him for his help. Slammed boot down despite them not fitting and left . Such bad manners all round
