I wanted to describe my unpleasant…

I wanted to describe my unpleasant experience with the store’s staff today. I want to emphasize that I am a regular customer. After making my purchases and already being at work, I received a call from the store accusing me of theft. Shocked by this, I decided to return to the store to clarify this absurd situation.

Immediately, I asked the manager to show me the evidence on which the accusations were based and to provide access to the surveillance footage. I was told that I could not see the recordings. Instead, I was shown an empty product package from the section where I had been shopping — and on that basis, I was accused of theft.

When I entered the store, everyone was looking at me as if I were a thief. I was neither proven guilty not apologized to.

I will certainly not let this go and intend to take legal action regarding this matter, until I receive an official apology from the staff. You have to be a complete idiot to accuse a loyal customer without any evidence — and then not even apologize in the end.

Don’t go to them if you need to get…

Don’t go to them if you need to get some wood cuts done, because they won’t do it, unless you purchased the wood from them. I went there today because I needed 3 cuts, long cuts that can only be done properly with an industrial saw to keep a straight line cut, and they were only interested in I purchased the wood from them or not. Is not that they can’t provide the service, is that he was not interested in doing this service for me if the wood didn’t come from them. What does it matter? I am willing to pay for the service cut, not all of us have the facilities or money to have laser eye precision wood cutting at home. I was left by the team member like a completely piece of s… He said it was company policy, they won’t do the cut because I didn’t purchase their wood. But does it matter when you are willing to pay for the service? Seriously Totem, rethink your policy!! You are letting the people of plymouth down! I previously purchased wood from you, but you don’t seem to think in a customer service kind of way if you are treating members of the public like this. I Hope you reconsider your policy. You will make more money also!

Awesome service and prices

Awesome service and prices. Went in with a scribbled plan on a bit of paper and it took five minutes for the guys to work out what I wanted, cut plywood to the right size, and find me all the screws nails and sundries I needed for my project. Genuinely couldn't believe how easy it was to get everything I needed and well within my budget, and I couldn't be happier.

Excellent service

I ordered two dumpy bags of granite chippings by phone with Gary. They were delivered shortly afterwards by a helpful driver who carefully placed them exactly where I wanted on our drive.
The process was efficient, quality and value for money good.
