Visited Croydon store 3 times - and each time the item I wanted, and had been told would be in stock had not been delivered to the store.
Staff instore apologised nicely and took an order for delivery to my home .
Then - the emails started arriving - no reply address and just n successive days telling me the order had been despatched -
No indication of the anticipated delivery time - or even a day!
Telephone store - and get told
"We are really sorry we have not been able to answer my call - all colleagues are busy! Try again soon."
Eventually, shortly before 9 am an email from DHL
"Your parcel is expected to be with you between 12:51 - 13:51."
and it arrived at about 1/4 past 1 pm,
So - DHL great.
Dunelm not so good, or even appropriate to a selling organisation!
OK - they may advertise the products - but actually persuading customers to buy from them again seems to be a really difficult concept for their management and the IT/delivery scheduling staff, as does having a usable customer call management facility.
Maybe shareholders should require management to be on minimum legal wages and incentivise them with bonuses + for sales + for profits and - for comments less than 5* or calls waiting /unanswered after 10 minutes, or collect items not available as indicated to customers, or emails without appropriate details in them - or communications from unidentified as in not a named and directly contactable person !
Note - re survey answers -
Delivery on time - does not allow NO TIME , or even DATE SPECIFIED in email
Communicate - does not allow input of had to go to a retail premises
