Thank you to store manager Richard

Thank you to store manager Richard for his expertise in helping us find the right paint and for his advice on colour combinations. He is such a lovely man and gave us a lot of time and useful advice. Found some great times too for our renovations 🙂

Alright!

Smooth sailing up until collection (confirmation of order, text to say collection was ready). When I got there the wrong size frames had been set aside, after noticing, it took about 10-15 minutes before the right size frames were then brought back. No particular bad experience just seemed to make reserving my frames in advance a tad redundant, I felt lucky that the frames I had ordered were still in stock..! Love my frames though now!

Exceptional customer service from Jay and Debs

Jay and Debs on the customer service desk at the Leicester store went out of their way to assist with the purchase of a Christmas tree and provided truly exceptional customer service. They were knowledgeable, polite and friendly. Many thanks to both of you!

Click and collect

Quick, efficient service. Goods as ordered. Price ok.
Minor moan: couldn't get the click and collect label off the box without marking the box. Item was a gift (outside light fitting).

VERY RUDE MANAGER

I brought a display Christmas tree from your Leicester store and the staff had not put the wire with it that changes the light settings. All I asked was had they got the wire but the young man on the phone didn't understand so I went into the store I asked for a manager who when she came was very rude and abrupt in front of other customers. Wouldn't go look or come with me to look just kept repeating bring it back and we will refund. It might have been as simple as the wire was left on the display but refused to look.
