No delivery received ? Its your problem!

placed an order. No delivery made or attempted (despite two claims to the contrary) Webchat took over 30 minutes to be eventyally advised no refund would be processed until they receive the goods back. So effectively Ive paid for items that I needed next day (as advertised) but not received with a clear refusal to refund until it suits Toolstation. Shabby at best, possibly in contravention of distance selling rules at worst

Poor Communication and Appalling Customer Service

Ordered a pair of boots which arrived and were supposed to be size 10. They were very small and when I tried to return them it took 3 days to get an answer from Toolstation and even then, they did not arrange returns. I am still waiting for them to contact me. Even though I bought them off their website they will not allow me to return them in store, I have to pay to send them back. I will now only use SCREWFIX who are far more professional. Extremely poor service at best!!!

Good morning,

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately order number YWW283578492 is not a Dutch Toolstation order number. Perhaps it was a Toolstation UK purchase?

Have a good day!

1 key of a locker not found in the package

In general I would have rated Toolstation with 5 stars, as I had almost never had any problem with them.
On 21-8 2025 I ordered a door locking cylinder and one of the 3 keys was missing.
When I phoned the customer service, I was not aware I was not talking with the Katwijk warehouse, but rather with their general quarter.
They told me to go to the warehouse and exchange it, as they had lot of spares but the warehouse at Katwijk had just a single product like that and needed to order for me.

At the end everything went well, but I needed to wait a couple of days to install my cylinder

Always good

Always good, they have a location nearby. Search on the website works fine (mostly) and it shows reviews. When available I can pick it up ten minutes later of they will deliver it to my home.

The Gentleman at the store in Beverwijk…

The Gentleman at the store in Beverwijk helped me to get the exact specification of the lock I needed. Since it was not in stock , he kindly ordered it for me ,and that too was delivered at home. Thanks to his knowledge , the lock fit nicely . thanks to that Gentleman from Beverwijk Store.

"Next Day Delivery" - NOT!

Why is it that "Next Day Delivery" never means that the order will be delivered the next day.

I've tried/risked Toolstation delivery on three separate occasions now and never received my order in the promised timescale.

I will keep buying but only when my current job means I can collect. Otherwise I'll go elsewhere even if I have to pay a bit more. I just can't afford to lose the time that delivery from TS always means.
