Sadly 19 of the 25 tiles were found to be broken after I had taken out the first 6 good ones. The damage indicated the box had been dropped at the original warehouse, not by the courier, who used a se... See more

Use the lockers in store for click and collect??

Had to wait for someone to be available at the help desk. Till staff not engaged.

Saw 2 lockers that I could have collected it from. Use these all the time for returns.

Hi tim​, 

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for any disappointment this has caused - We've shared this with the instore team to review further. Sadly, the lockers in store are not owned by Homebase and are supplied by external companies. 

Thanks,

I ordered a lawnmower for click and collect, website stated 5 in stock. I paid for it alongside other items to receive a call 2hrs later stating that there had been an error and that there were actually none in stock.

When I went to the store to collect my other items there was the lawnmower I had purchased but it was a display unit, store would not let me take that one so they refunded me staying that it would take 3 to 5 working days for the refund.

£150 down and no alternate funds to pay for a lawnmower until it clears, I'm now spending the Bank Holiday with long grass and an empty wallet!

Hi Charlie​, 

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for any disappointment this has caused to you! We've forwarded this over to the instore team to review further. Sadly, our online stock levels are provided as a guide and can change due to many external factors and once the refund has been processed it takes your bank 2-5 working days to process this. Please do reach out if you'd like to discuss further.

Thanks,
Team Homebase

Excellent service

Ordering was easy. The discount was automatically applied. The member of staff grabbed the heavy items and took them all the way to my car.

Helpful staff make shopping here easy.

Firstly your stock range has improved and I found what I needed.
One thing I could not find but Sue advised me to see the outdoors garden area where the staff found the item for me. So very pleased.
Finally I mentioned to Sue that I really wanted to repair an item I had and she gave me a good suggestion.

Impossible to contact Flymo re warranty

In 2022 I purchased a Flymo hover mower from Homebase Tunbridge Wells.

Product no 9704835
Serial no 14500350

At the time of purchase I registered the mower with Flymo.com/ register for the 2 year warranty as per the leaflet which came with the mower

My mower has stopped working & is only 18 months old therefore should be covered by the 2 year warranty

Contacting Flymo has been impossible as the tel no 0344 844 4558 is not recognised unless ringing from the Store. Clearly Flymo have blocked all numbers except stores. So I called the above number from Homebase Tunbridge Wells & selected option 4 for warranty enquiries however there was no answer despite holding on for over 25 minutes

Clearly Flymo are deceiving customers as I’ve not been able to claim my 2 year warranty.

Why are Homebase failing to address this serious issue with Flymo?

I feel badly let down

Ordered Kiln Dried Sand that was completely wet. Click and collect so travelled in to pick up to find all the stock available was the same and the store advised that all Kiln Dried sand is stored outside so none of their stock was in fact dried. They didn’t think this was a problem! Wasted journey. Not impressed!
