An alternative to £20 delivery cost

Click & collect was efficient. Product and price competitive. With few Homebase stores Winchester is usually not an attractive pick up location but £20 delivery cost is ludicrous. Better not offer the service as you clearly don’t want customers to use it.

Click & Collected a damaged item.

Travelled from Southampton to Winchester to collect my item. Item was damaged, planter with chunks of the item missing from 2 sides. No more in stock, so a wasted journey. Find it poor that no one checked the item before confirming it was available for collection.

Always very helpful & friendly service from the Winchester team

I've been a regular customer of the Winchester store for several years now and praise of the staff is long overdue. It was good to meet the managers Glen and Oz recently, who helped me with some bulk purchasing and were a pleasure to deal with. I've regularly been served and helped by Chloe, Louise, Billy, Yassi and Alan who are always very patient and helpful. I've also recently been helped by a young chap with very shortly cut hair whose name I sadly can't remember but he's very professional and helpful. A great team and store.....a real credit to the company :)

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Homebase Winchester

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! DO NOT BUY A KITCHEN FROM HOMEBASE (WINCHESTER). They highly recommended a kitchen fitter who has walked out ½ way installing our kitchen!! He damaged our new fridge, broke my oven knob, broke my washing machine programmer knob, smashed a glass ornament, damaged my hall wall and chipped the new work surfaces! When asked for his insurance details so I could claim, he gave false insurance information and false home address and legged it! HOMEBASE are taking NO responsibility even though THEY highly recommended him! I can't find this guy anywhere. He lives in Southampton. I'm left 2 weeks without a kitchen! It took me daily emailing, sending photographic evidence to be told its nothing to do with them! Disgusting company!

Hi Kim​,

We’re sorry you’ve had a disappointing experience. Our customers are incredibly important to us, and really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. All feedback enables us to grow and be a better Homebase for our customers, so thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We can confirm we do offer a referral service to our customers to choose a fitter of their choice, however all fitting contracts are private contracts between the customer and the fitter as Homebase are a supply only business. We can see that the escalations team are currently in communication with you regarding your case.

Thanks,
Team Homebase

The click and collect desk was unmanned, so I asked the lady on the till and she reassured me she could deal with my order. Friendly, helpful, prompt, knowledgeable and welcoming.

Online ordering easy -

It is good to be able to choose something in the store and then order online - so many online purchases turn out not to be as anticipated.
Service was good. Previously we have had really bad experiences with XPO deliveries but this was excellent. The online tracking allows you to see exactly where the truck is on its way to you.
Overall good buying experience and product ( tiles ) reasonable priced.
