Ordered a garden parasol on line from Homebase to collect at The Range. It said there were 4 in stock. I could not get down to collect it and as my daughter works near the store I sent her all details... See more

Such a downturn!

Miserable staff member, accused me of 'going too fast' when asked for my code; problem was she was entering '55' instead of '5.' When she handed me the item it was not packaged so I asked, 'Is there no box?' only to be met with a rather terse, 'It doesn't come in a box.' Got home and found a couple of dents in the item but after this experience I cannot see myself returning to this store. This visit was a complete turnaround from my visit on Friday (Only three days ago)

Super helpful

We went here on the off-chance and ended up buying a table and chairs and a new BBQ unexpectedly. We couldn't fit it in the car so a very kind member of staff called Robson put this aside for us so we could come back for it. Really helpful he was.

Confusing

Selected delivery date was altered by them, resulting in phone calls to inform them they delivery date they had chosen was no good as I was at work those days.
This resulted in me not receiving the goods until a week after I had requested delivery of them.
On the plus side the delivery guys were polite and put the goods where I requested

Poor customer service

The online experience was fine. Having shopped at the Berwick store regularly (where the staff are great) I was very disappointed at Gateshead where the lady at click and collect just stood there and said nothing, absolutely nothing ( no " hello", or "do you have an order to collect?"). She was just looking at me blankly. Eventually she said "got an order number?" I said "can I give you my name please ?", she said "no". I found my order number and gave it to her. She then asked for my name! Overall very unfriendly for a mature aged member of staff.

Luke at Homebase Team Valley was incredible.
He went above and beyond his call of duty to enable me to fit the shelving units into my car.
He was optimistic, positive and intelligent!
Best wishes Luke and thank you.
