Paint all over car floor

Collected 5l of paint. Paint must have been opened in store. The lid obviously was not closed properly. I now have a car full of paint on the floor.
Called the store. They did not care.

Hi Debora,
We’re sorry to hear about your paint. Paint tins are pressure sealed during the manufacturing process, they can weigh several kilos and any strike to the side of them could be enough to force the lid open.

Customer service staff Alison and Cheryl . They allowed me to take a put together flat pack stackable shoe shelf that was on display. I am incapable of putting flat packs together so am very grateful to understanding kind staff. Alison even offered to put one together for me at her home. Beyond call of duty. !
Homebase should be very proud of staff who made a sale and helped older person . Thank you.

Click and collect

I'm not happy with customer service the corner unit I brought was damaged I've told them that the 2 seater is damaged one of the feet was damaged it's been broken off so it needs a new back piece for the 2 seater I've tried explaining this but all they keep on about is sending me a new foot I've told them it's broken so needs a new back piece for the 2 seater or make me an offer to keep it as it is

I waited quite a few days for our things to turn up and when it did arrive at Homebase I had to wait quite a while for any acknowledgement or help and then the assistant was quite rude to me

"Above and beyond service "

"Above and beyond service "
Over the years from designing and the instalation of our kitchen, to more recently assisting us to upgrading our bathroom, we have always received from Stewart at the Sittingbourne Kent branch: friendly, informative, patient and very professional service.
That is why we have returned.

As a disabled person

As a disabled person, I often find myself challenged by simple tasks and as a result often drop items and am unable to carry awkward shapes.
Jolanda saw that I was struggling and rushed to my assistance. She helped pick up the fallen items returning them to the shelves and then carried my shopping to the counter for me to pay.
After paying, Jolander carried my shopping to the car.
Jolander maintained a happy and positive demeanor which helped not only with my shopping but also with my mood
Well done Jolander and thank you
