Discount didn’t work

Fast collection polite staff but disappointed discount offered online didn’t work at checkout. I needed the goods today and didn’t have time to argue.

I purchased a Homebase rotary washing line from my local Homebase store. The small red clip that holds it up snapped off. I contacted Homebase who said they would not replace it as I had no proof of purchase, I always pay cash, not everyone pays credit card. I found the company quite abrupt and not willing to help at all. My product was purchased from my local Homebase, it has Homebase stickers all over it and clearly could not have come from another store. At no time did I ask for a refund or replacement and was actually willing to pay for the broken part even though it is clearly a design fault. I did point out that the Homebase rotary washing line was a lot more expensive than their competitors but I thought I was buying quality, obviously not. Homebase did not seem to care about the product or the fact that I’d been a long time customer, not any more!
Personally I found their attitude and customer care disgraceful.

Hi​, 

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for any disappointment this has caused. Sadly, we do not stock any spare parts for these and would be only able to offer an exchange if the item was still in warranty. To validate your warranty we would need your proof of purchase. Please reach if you wish to discuss this further.

Thanks,
Team Homebase

Quick and efficient C & C

Plenty of parking space which made loading up after purchase very easy.
Click and collect was very efficient. Hardly any waiting time. Helpful and pleasant member of staff. Well done.

Not horrendous - but not great!

I went to the first till, and the colleague had issues with their scanner and just told me to go to the service desk. No apology.

At the service desk, the colleague there did not acknowledge the situation and just scanned the item.

Collecting pre ordered items.

Our click and collect order was ready when we arrived to collect. We then went into the store, the items we wanted were found easily, signage was clear. The staff member on checkout was very helpful and so friendly.
