This company is shambolic. I placed an order which was expected to be delivered in a few days. One week later, there's no sign of it, and no communication. Upon chasing, the customer services age... See more

Super fast delivery and an excellent bed frame. I did notice that the payment goes through to Dunelm so I presume that Worldstores is linked to Dunelm. Would definitely buy again from here, best price... See more

This is a second review after posting my first review only 3 days ago. Despite leaving a response to my review, which is clearly automated, they managed to fail delivery yet again on the day of delive... See more

Great shopping experience and delivery

I haven't actually unpacked the bed I bought so can't comment on that.

However, the shopping experience was great and user friendly. I was able to select a delivery date the next day and the two delivery people were very lovely.

Thank you

Honestly this company is a joke....I…

Honestly this company is a joke....I ordered a bunk bed on Friday they said delivery will be on the Monday in which they had rescheduled for the Wednesday which I can deal with now they send me another message stating they tired to contact me ...when they didn't, to tell me delivery is now 2 weeks away!!! When trying to call them about this you are on hold for a long time! I would recommend going to another company for sure......they take your money and then once they have it they order the stock I think hence the huge delay! Stay away they shouldn't be allowed to trade the staff are rude the managers dont want to know - Asked for a refund which they said yes to and its in "Que" so how many other customers are they doing this time....they should be shut down and are apart of Dunelm so stay away from them too.

Good Afternoon Leigh.

Thank you for contacting us and I am truly sorry to hear that there has been a delay in receiving your new bunk beds.

I appreciate this is very frustrating when you are having to chase the whereabouts of your order instead of us contacting you to see if you are happy to wait the allotted timescale. This certainly is not acceptable and isn't the service we want to be providing to any of our customers.

We aim for outstanding customer service and to see this compromised, particularly by our suppliers is indeed regrettable.

I have sent a private message to you with further details.

Kind regards
Stuart.

Not a good shopping experience, would not recommend

My on line shopping experience with this company has been the worst I have known. I ordered a new mattress and paid £10 extra for a selected deliver date (Saturday 4th August) my tracking message told me the delivery would be Monday 6th I spent 40 minutes on the telephone waiting to speak to customer services (I had already sent an email questioning the date, but realised that they can take up to 72 hours to reply which would have been after my expected delivery date. Customer services assured me that his internal system still showed that I would receive my delivery as requested on the 4th. I asked if he could contact DX to confirm and he told me he couldn't. I waited in all day in the 4th, no delivery. Neither did my mattress arrive on the 6th, again, I had waited in all day. Then on the 7th August I received a tracking message showing that my mattress would be delivered on Wednesday 8th! In the meantime I had emailed customer services on Monday 6th to advise that I had not received my goods, expressed my disappointment and requested an explanation. It is now Monday 13th August, I have received neither an email or a telephone call. Should anybody be available at customer services; I would please at least like a refund of my £10 selected delivery date charge!

Do not order any large items from this company. I ordered a sofa and they lost it on route to being delivered. I phoned customer service (30 mins to answer) then the girl I spoke to could tell me nothing... she wouldn’t let me talk to any managers either and insisted they couldn’t help. Absolutly disgusted with this company and would never use them again. Someone did contact me to rearrange delivery. You should really refund my delivery fee (Atleast!) due to me losing a days wage for nothing and the stress this has caused me today.

Good Afternoon Tracy.

Thank you for making us aware of your recent issue.

I can certainly understand the frustration and disappointment this may have caused you.

It is certainly regretful that your item was lost in transit and that you couldn't be provided with further information relating to this.

After looking into your order for you I can see that we have requested a replacement to be issued to you as soon as possible and we will make it a priority for you to be kept aware of the delivery dates.

If you need any further help or assistance please call us on 0333 234 2634 or at worldstores.customerservice@dunelm.com

Delivery was on time

Delivery was on time, I was texted the previous day, that morning and I got a phone call from the delivery drivers an hour prior to the delivery. The bed was as stated, 4' 6'' double and 3' single bunk

We needed a sofa urgently and every site we looked at quoted 6 - 8 weeks delivery time. Worldstores quoted 2 - 3 days . We were not expecting too much for the price we paid but have been very pleasantly surprised.. The sofa arrived promptly, the delivery men were excellent, and we are really pleased with our choice. The colour is excellent, far better than we imagined, and all the measurements were as quoted. Would definitely recommend Worldstores, the staff are really helpful and nothing was too much trouble - even when we mismeasured and had to change the size from three seater to two, we were promptly refunded and still received the sofa on the original quoted date. Excellent.

Make it more user friendly, please

There should be an option to login and access previous orders. This would mean that we can find information more easily ourselves and not have to call your customer services unless it really is urgent.
Your system does not automatically send invoices to the email address used to order the furniture and this would prove very helpful. Especially for a business as ourselves who need to send invoices to the finance departments.

Good Morning Rhianna

We strive to provide our customers with the best shopping experience possible including after your purchase has been made. I can understand the value of being able to look back on previous orders.

We are continuously looking for ways to improve our service and it is through feedback such as your own that highlights the areas for us to work on.
For this I would like to thank you.
Kind regards Stuart.

Fantastic

I would highly recommend this company. My sofa looks amazing in my flat. It was great value for money. The delivery service is fantastic. I also contacted customer service for advice prior to ordering, and they were very informative and friendly. I will definitely use Worldstores again!

Dreadful experience

Dreadful experience. Ordered 2 mattresses - and when they arrived they were not the sizes ordered. The unhelpful “customer service” guy explained their policy was that they could not simply exchange them. We would have to buy (again) the mattresses that were originally ordered; and then they would collect the wrong mattresses and only then refund our original purchase. Of course we cancelled the order and went elsewhere. But even the collection process was hopeless - failing to arrive in the time band arranged. Will definitely never use this business again.

Good Morning.

Thank you for making us aware of your issue.

I am truly sorry to hear that you didn't receive the mattresses you originally ordered. I can certainly understand the frustration that this may have caused. We aim to give each customer the highest standard of care and attention and I apologise that we have failed you on this occasion. It is never our intention to affect your shopping experience and I hope you have now received a full refund from ourselves.

I do hope that you will reconsider shopping with us in the future as we are undergoing a large restructure of the company at the moment, including policies and procedures designed to make your shopping experience a much happier and smoother one.

Kindest regards
Stuart.
