Click and collect issue.

I ordered items on click and collect yesterday morning and got an email acknowledging the order saying it would be ready for collection within an hour. This morning, 23 hours later, a message informed me that my order was ready for collection! Fortunately, I'd taken the chance of going to the store before it closed yesterday so there was nothing to collect. I'd ordered eight items, six were what I'd expected, though two had defects, but the other two bore no resemblance whatsoever to the colours shown on the website. With hindsight, I shouldn't have bothered with click and collect because I had to wait to return items then go and get replacements from the display, then queue again to pay which took longer than just going to the store.

Click and collect substatdard

Click and collect. The plant was below standard with a broken leaf. The store replaced it when I pointed this out, but it's disappointing that a substandard product was on sale.

Item was ready when I went to collect…

Item was ready when I went to collect so good system and great staff.

Now the bad part. Like many retailers, Homebase have decided to use the services of some utter scumbag parking company entirely pointlessly to control their carpark using confusing signs and terms and conditions to catch out innocent but unwary motorists. Make no mistake - this costs you business as it puts people off coming for a browse or a shop. You have a car park the size of a planet, so there is just no need for it.

Hi Tony,

We would like to inform you that the car parks at our stores are privately owned by a separate landlord. As a result, Homebase does not have any responsibility or control over the car park itself.

We always strive to accommodate our customers to the best of our abilities. In situations where a customer anticipates exceeding the parking limit due to circumstances beyond their control, such as Kitchen and Bathroom Appointments or an extended shopping trip in-store, we offer a solution. Customers can provide their registration number to an in-store colleague who can register their car for the duration of their visit.

If, unfortunately, a customer receives a parking fine while shopping with us, we assure you that our customer service team, in-store staff, and ourselves will do our utmost to assist the customer within the limitations of our resources.

Could you please kindly forward a picture of the parking fine to us? This will enable us to further review the matter on your behalf. (https://help.homebase.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new?&referrerPageUrl=https://help.homebase.co.uk/hc/en-gb)

Kind Regards

Service was excellent

Service was excellent! Ordered online the evening before after hours; was advised the item was ready to collect just after 8am the next day. Collected at 8.30 with the minimum of fuss 😊

Helpful service

We asked if we could have assistance getting a large box containing a sunlounger (an impulse purchase) to our car and this was done quickly for us old folks (apparently by the manager!).

Helpful staff

Tried to order paint at South Ruislip branch and was bluntly told no with no reason why except it’s not on the system. Your online website says different. Went into Milton Keynes branch and a very helpful lady called Shirley ordered the paint without any problems or fuss. She was friendly and efficient and arranged for the paint to be delivered at my original store of South Ruislip. I do hope the miserable woman who ‘served’ me in South Ruislip is there when I go to pick it up 😉
