“Ordered a garage door and was told it would be delivered within 21 days - 35 days later I'm still waiting. Have chased and was told that I needed to contact their supplier myself! What's the point in B & Q Customer Service if I have to do it myself? Also ordered an electronic garage door opening kit and was told I would receive a phone call within 48 hours and that the whole item would be delivered within 10 days - that was 21 days ago and not even had the promised phone call yet. Shocking service.”

“Extensive use of sub and sub sub contractors meant issues had to be fixed and chased by ourselves. Absolutely zero proactive support from home fit when sub contractor who removed old kitchen damaged carpet and walls in hall. No call to confirm we were happy and still have damage to walls. Will end up paying to get it fixed ourselves. Will never use Homefit service again as there is no accountability for the whole job with everyone referring us to everyone else. Hopeless!”

“Having had a delivery of a full bedroom suite delivered by an extremely rude delivery man and no notification it was arriving, it was delivered mangled with every corner damaged on the units. A 20 minute wait in a queue on the phone to B & Q yesterday resulted in a full refund being requested and a return phone call promised when order showed as closed. Reach today, another 20 minute wait to get through to someone and to be told nothing has been done yet and no refund issued and no pick up date for damaged goods !!! These goods are now outside as I have no room to store inside for a lengthy period !!!! Disgraceful service, with an "I don't care " attitude !!!!! Never ever again will I use this company £400 out of pocket, mangled units and no resolution!!!! This is your problem B & Q SORT IT OUT IT WILL NOT JUST GO AWAY, I AM NOT PAYING £400 FOR DAMAGED GOODS AND THEN BEING SADDLED WITH THEM !!!!!!!!!!”

“Ordered a kitchen online, no confirmation received so rang customer services who told me the order had not been placed, ordered it again and then found that they had charged me twice, many phone calls and emails later I eventually got a part refund for each order and they withheld twenty pounds from each order, fighting to try and get that back now. They told me there is not point emailing customer services as they don't get the emails.”

“Don't bother with click and collect... went to collect item and it was not received by store... they said "oh yeah" we've had lots of problems recently"... not that they bothered to tell me before I drove to the store. In store of course no-one could help and gave me a person's name to call back. Called back next day and put on hold 5 mins and then someone tells me the person is on holiday. Go on hold again and eventually am cit off. Call again and eventually someone tells me that they can't help with web orders and that no they won't deliver to me f.o.c. having wasted my time going to store the day before.”

“on the 23rd of May i made an order online worth £163.00 for a click and collect from the Greenwich store, however when i went to collect it next week there were items missing (5 boxes Form beige storage box and a Floor lamp) total of £80.00. No one knew where they were or why they were missing, then they told me that they can't give me a refund as it needs to go through a different team, after speaking to one of the managers at the store and waiting for over 1 hour to get this resolved i was told that i they will call me in 2 days to confirm the refund as it needs to be done by DIY.com not them. That was not true and i was informed as they could've simply issued the refund then and there. They are quick to take your money but when they should give you your money back they make you go through hell to go YOUR OWN MONEY back. after that i received a call 3 days later, and a lady from the store told me they are still "investigating" and that she needs to get back to me in two days. she never did! and then i had to call the store 5 times in a period of 8 weeks. They refused to issue the refund, making all sorts of excuses (system not working, not their job to do it, they are switching systems and can't do it now). Then i was told that the refund would be issued in 5 working days, two weeks later still they haven't sent my money, so after they put me through the wringer I've i asked to speak to a manager at Greenwich store, who said it's not their job to issue the refund and i should speak to customer service and when i asked why i was misinformed and made to make over 6 calls in a period of 2 months her simply said: that's not his problem and was extremely rude to me. when i challenged him about the way i was treated he hung up on me. i then decided to call customer service and thought they might be able to help in end of June/ beginning of july. After holding on the line for an hour and being transferred from one person to the other, and after employees spoke to their manager and to the store i was finally told that the refund will be with me within 5 working days (again) and assured me this time it will be refunded on time. This never happened. it's been over 6 weeks now and they still haven't sent me my money back! how long does it take to issue a refund?? this is completely unacceptable way to treat a costumer and it breaches the contract of refunds which clearly states that it should not take longer than 2 weeks in exceptional circumstances. I’ve simply had enough with big companies like B&Q treating costumers as they wish and not being held accountable for anything or being obliged to follow trade regulation. What they did is simply theft!”

“I have ordered online artificial grass on 20th June and I am still waiting for delivery. No one from B&Q call you and let you know the status. Last one week their system is down and no one can tell me what's happening with my order. Horrible experience. Stay away from B&Q online shopping.”

“I ordered a radiator cover on line from B&Q, the item arrived and it happened to be too big measurements were incorrect. I had to make several calls before i could arrange for the item to be returned. Even then when you ring the telephone No it has no option to go through to the returns department so you have to speak to someone in order section. After two weeks of chasing the returns department they eventually arrange a date for collection. However the refund was not made into my account as promised within 5 working days. It has been over a month and I am still waiting for the refund and almost 6 calls and several emails to B&Q I am non the wiser. I have been told the new system is the cause of the delay but no manager is willing to speak to me and I have spent several mornings calling the customer service trying to establish where my refund is. I would not recommend purchasing anything on line with B&Q only because if you wish to return you will not be able to do this with ease!! and there is no chance of refund”

“After painting our whole house with Matt Dulux, wasn't too pleased to find the Vinyl element has been dropped unless you pay extra for Endurance! Surely everyone wants their paint to endure the test of time when it takes so long and costs so much to do properly. Dulux Vinyl has been going for so long we didn't notice the omission on the tin and B&Q staff said complain to Dulux ( a customers contract is with the retailer) the omission was not brought to our attention ! This is selling under false pretences as the paint comes off when you need to wash off a mark!! A major change should not be glossed over. No pun intended! B&Q are as much to blame as Dulux. It's take your money and sod the consequences!”

“Ordered a fire suite last Wednesday. Received a text message this Monday to say delivery scheduled between 1&3 Tuesday. Phoned store at 3 to make sure it was being delivered that day, I was told it was scheduled. At 6 o'clock I rang again to be told there had been problems but I could still get my fire delivered up to 8 o'clock. This morning at 9 o'clock I rang the delivery department, the guy said he couldn't find any record of my order but he'd find out about it and get back to me. At 10 o'clock two of my friends went to the store on my behalf to see what was going on. I then got a call from a b&q employee to tell me that the said item did not exist yet in the u k. I was flabbergasted and not very happy to say the least. She said all they could do was refund my money which would be back in my bank within the next five days. I really hope that it is!!! I'll never buy anything from there again.”

“My son ordered a kitchen from B&Q. Order came on a saturday, great BUT 1 item was missing which was booked in for tuesday 29th September. So my husband drove from stafordshire at 5.00am to take in the delivery. NOTHING CAME and he got back home at 8.00pm. I called B&Q and was given (mentioned in another review) 2 incorrect telephone numbers. Now I have a text message to say that the item is coming on friday 2nd October. Oh, Joy got to travel to Oxfordshire again.”

“Staff are really helpful. Pity the rest is rubbish. I rang regarding a delivery, was given a telephone number called them and they have never heard of me. I called B&Q again and they gave me another number. This would have been hilarious if I hadn't been so angry because it was a company who don't deal with B&Q and... wait for it..... they sell CHEMICALS. In the end I had to give up. Won't be using B&Q again.”

“Bought a made to measure door from B & Q. The fitters fitting the door was very good but the door itself poor quality. The sill is only 1 inch deep and there is a 2 inch bar across the bottom you have to step over to enter. An accident waiting to happen if you are not aware.”
