Collection of Barbecue

Our order was waiting for us in a trolley which was good. However the barbecue was very heavy and we would have appreciated some help in getting the box into our car as we are old age pensioners, but no offer was forthcoming.

Served by Alan and had a great experience!

I was served by Alan who was poliet and friendly he helped me get next day delivery on my new lawnmower and another string on my strimmer. He helped explain the guarantee which was helpful. It was a great transaction and enjoyed my experience today! I will definitely be returning again soon.

My second bad Homebase review in two…

My second bad Homebase review in two weeks...not good.
I just travelled over 20 miles to the Winchester Homebase as according to its website you are offering wood/board cutting services. My reason for the visit.
The in store board cutting area is out of commission and by the look of it, has been for some time. I asked at the customer service desk if the board cutting will open again to be told 'no', its closed for good. The blade is damaged and we can't get a replacement. I don't believe that for a moment. This is another extremely useful service Homebase once provided but they can no longer be bothered just as the Basingstoke branch closed their board cutting service years ago. Why?
The range of timber and board on display today is far diminished compared to what has been stocked in the past. This is another supposed DIY store that is turning into just a front for bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen displays.
HOMEBASE...if you no longer offer board cutting services, take it off your bloody website and stop wasting people's time.

Hi Stiggy,
We are sorry to let you down on this occasion.
The board cutters are currently being reviewed in store and this is no longer a service we can offer.
Many Thanks

Customer toilets

My wife suffers from dementia and when we asked where the customer toilets were we were told we couldn’t use them as they are never cleaned. What a disgrace for a company your size.

Super Service

Order was ready.
The two members of staff that I spoke to couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful - which was very refreshing.
Thanks.

The item I collected had clearly been sitting on the ground somewhere outdoors, the plastic box was covered in dirt and green mould. I can’t understand why anyone thought it would be reasonable to give that to a customer and didn’t bother to wipe it clean.

A fabulous shopping experience from Homebase!

From online ordering to collecting my order in store, the whole Homebase shopping experience was just so easy! Staff in store were friendly and helpful as always, even taking my shopping to my car and loading it into the boot for me. I’d not hesitate to recommend Homebase to anyone else.

Wrong item and damaged box

We reserved an item online via click and collect but when we collected the item the box was damaged and the wrong item was given to us. We reserved a lamp with a clear shade and the lamp provided had a pearl shade. As the box was damaged we checked the item in the car park and managed to get the item exchanged f the product we had reserved.

Hi there,

Thankyou for your review, we're sorry you were handed the wrong item. We have picked this up with the store and have asked them to remind colleagues to double check Click&Collect orders before handing them to customers,
