My hat goes off to Jade and Anna from the Riverside Depot. I was really stuck for a large delivery of Paving Slabs and Sand and Cement which would of had to come from their main depot but wouldn't get it till 10th June but I was hoping to get it Friday or Saturday latest. They suggested that if they split the load into two deliveries they could do it from their depot tomorrow and the two deliveries would also work out cheaper than getting from main depot. What Stars you are. Thank you.

Charlie is a credit to you

Charlie is a credit to you! I had ordered 24bags of topsoil and 14 sleepers. Im a woman myself certainly not the strongest and I also don't have the biggest car. Charlie helped me load my car and even exchange a split sleeper for me! Couldn't recommend enough. Appreciate all your help!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful member of staff (Lottie). Walked in to buy patio sand and we were helped by Lottie who directed us in the store, told us which to buy (didn’t realise there were so many different types of sand), got a trolley for us and even loaded it!

I was a bit annoyed after my first visit to the Northampton Riverside store.
I needed some arris rail & fencing, looked online & they had what I needed.
I only had a small window of opportunity & the store is less than 10 minutes away.
I turned up at the store only to find they had cordoned off the area to restock shelving with a forklift.
I appreciate this has to be done, but this was mid morning on a Saturday on a bank holiday weekend, probably one of their busiest times. I waited for around 20 minutes but as I was short on time I had to abandon.
Shouldn't shelf stacking with the forklift be sorted whilst the store is closed either the evening before or before opening in the morning?
Normally I do find Wickes to be OK, but this experience with a distinct lack of organisation did put me off.

Excellent customer service from Tracy

I’d like to thank Tracy for going above and beyond what is expected. We had so many queries from paint choices to skirting board thickness and Tracy was able to answer all of our questions and we left the store with everything we needed.

Great customer service.

Wanted to purchase insulation but I wasn’t familiar with the type of product i should purchase. Thankfully, Paul assisted me with great customer service and professionalism by clearly explaining what product would be good for the context of my problem helping me make the right decision. Furthermore, as someone who has a bit of a walking difficulty he went above and beyond by helping me load the items into my car allowing my time at wickes to be stress free from start to the finish. I was very impressed by the customer service at wickes and i will be shopping here again in the future.

This was great I rang ahead to check if they had the tap in stock and Charlie said that she would put it to one side as there was 1 in stock. I picked it up 20 minutes later with no effort at all. Magic thanks very much Charlie thanks for going the extra mile to ensure I got the tap I needed.

When I arrived I needed to buy 4 things so not knowing your store( newly opened) I asked Lotte where an item was.
Most assistants normally offer a direction to walk in or aisle number but Lottie took me there and seeing I had a list took me straight to the other 3 products.
So great product range and an exemplary member of staff.
