“I ordered a fitted kitchen in mid June which was paid for in full. I was told today, mid July that they no longer offer the service to fit the kitchen. I spoke to someone in the company who advised me that B&Q making plans to remove this service a while a while ago, and that people were being redundant up to 6 weeks ago. (before I bought and paid for my kitchen). They have that promised a service which they were aware may not be facilitated, and have not honoured those customers who have already committed to them in good will. There are other companies with much more integrity. Avoid at all costs.”

“Can’t place an order on the website. Technical Error for a week! Called Customer Service 4 times in 4 days for them to place the order. Same Technical Error. On the 4th call I asked to speak to someone regarding the error and the fact that I have now lost a week of my very small window for my project and got put through to Bulk Items so they could put the order through for me. Guess what? Technical Error! I have £800 of order in my basket and can’t spend it. Maybe £800 isn’t a big order in the grand scheme of things to them but this project is important to me and if anywhere else had all the items I need, I would be going elsewhere. B&Q has me over a barrel and they know it. Who takes a week to fix a Technical Error on a website?”

“Spent £6,600 on a kitchen. 6 doors never turned up and 13 handles (omen!), reappointed, no doors or handles! Another call from B&Q reappointing for next week, doors only, handles out of stock. Handles could be found. Theres 5 in my nearest store, 10 in a store 50 mins drive! Customer service gave me some rubbish about different parts of B & Q, i'm not interested in there politics. The answer to me was to pick them up! , which contradicts the earlier comment they made to me, my reply, call the 2 stores with stock and get them posted!! Wait goes on....zzz”

“I ordered a bath off B&Q website, spoke to an advisor and was assured I needed a RH bath, so this order was placed and sorted, delivered after a few days...however the bath they ordered was not what I expected of a RH bath; I sent photos in and asked for the opposite to be delivered...after a few more days the WRONG BATH was delivered again, regardless of seeing the photos they sent the same one out again! After speaking to 5 different advisors I was then advised that B&Q are opposite to everyone else and I actually need a LH bath; so they told me it would take a week to get this rectified and sent out which was just unacceptable! Most advisors were clueless! very unhelpful! Disgraced at B&Q! DO NOT RECOMMEND! STAY AWAY!”

“ordered online a hedge trimmer, next day delivery was free, text sent hour before delivery. thought this was great. Delivery arrives no text, asked about the text, 'don't do that mate' and handed me a box with a shower, when I said ordered a hedge trimmer he simply took it back and drove off. Have emailed 3 times in 3 days no reply no hedge trimmer. Don't deal with these people. Off to trading standards.”

“Do not buy akitchen from B&Q go elsewhere, after 6 wks still waiting for parts to be delivered. Incomplete order from the start which delayed fitters carrying on fitting kitchen. The hassle phone calls visits to the store trying to get the job finished has been so stressful but nobody from B & Q gives a dam. We were told half our order had been given to someone else, then we were told it was out of stock from Customer Service. Order numbers dont match products it has been a complete disaster cant stress enough do not buy from B & Q warrington its cost us so much in telephone calls, trips to B & Q and paying for joiners time lost beause of no delivery if kitchen. You cant speak to a manager, just Customer services who are hopeless!!!!!”

“After ordering a bulk order which you state arrives the following day, I find out that my order will actually take 8 days to be delivered even though it is in stock. Very poor service after phoning 3 times to speak to someone then finding out that your order will take this long. Wish I had spent my money elsewhere which actually has a good customer service and good delivery options. POOR SERVICE!!!!”

“If I could give 0 I would. This is aimed at the HOMEFIT SERVICE! NEVER USE THEIR HOMEFIT SERVICE! UNBELIEVABLY DISGUSTING AND HORRENDOUS BEHAVIOUR BY THEIR STAFF. MY REQUESTS FOR REPAIRS HAVE NEVER BEEN LOGGED IN THEIR SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE VISIT FROM NAVAL (A MANAGER) WHO INSPECTED OUR BATHROOM AND TOOK PHOTOS. THEY PUT DOWN THE PHONE ON PURPOSE OVER 5 TIMES TO A CANCER PATIENT. THEY ARE DISGUSTING STAFF AND TAKE YOUR MONEY. WE WILL BE TAKING THIS FURTHER! ABSOLUTE DISCRIMINATION AND BREACH OF CONTRACT. DON'T EVER USE THEIR SERVICE!”

“I was in my local branch in Grest Yarmouth, my mum who is in her 60's needed assistance in the garden centre, she asked at the customer service and a call was put out, but after 10 minutes we gave up, walked from the garden centre into the store and there were four members of staff stood chatting, when I did get near, as I thought they may have been looking for us, they all walked away, not a happy customer at all and very disappointed.”

“My local branch must have staff that have the lowest moral I have come across. You ask for assistance at the customer service desk they radio for help after fully 10 mins and no help, I left. On another occasion I asked about a plumbing part from a male member of staff, the response I got was if we have anything they’ll be over there but he did not make any effort to assist. This is typical of the Cumbernauld branch”

“Shocking. Order didn't arrive and no one seemed to know exactly what had happened. I paid for a next day Sunday delivery and the order took 4 days. They kept telling me it would arrive and wasted my time and cost me money with a decorator waiting around. Won't use again. They even tried to hold off on my refund whilst the goods were an route back to them with the courier.”

“2 out of 4 radiators I received were damaged on delivery. The delivery man literally chucked them out of the van, dragged them across my patio and as a result damaged 2 out of 4 with dents and severe damage on one. The delivery man would not take them back. I called B and Q customer service and explained and they insisted it was my fault that I didn't return them back with the driver when they very well know that THEIR policy is to arrange returns. The lady on the phone loudly shouted at me, repeatably telling me it "IT IS YOUR FAULT" and these are the exact words she used. I maintained calm and polite but was really upset. They finally offered an exchange but the item is out of stock. I am left with extra plumbing costs as I have to bring in the plumber in again to install the replacement, and now I have to choose another radiator which won't match the one I already have installed in the living room. I asked to speak to the manager and was not allowed to talk to the manager because the manager "is busy managing the team" was the excuse I was given. They manager via the customer service assistant offered £35 off a damaged £235 radiator or nothing. The service is disgrace and the worst I have ever experienced. A horrible experience.”

“DONT USE CLICK & COLLECT SERVICE. Website says things are in stock.. you pay £100`s for these items.. then they email you saying actually there is no stock, but we`ll keep your money for 5 days.. They are earning a fortune doing this to people on interest”

“I put an order on the 8th of June for bulk delivery. The date for stock to be delivered was 19th so we prepared everything to take that massive amount of stock into our garden. Unfortunately on the 19th only one small package came in. We contacted customer service to find out whats going on - we were told that the rest of order did not come through the system however they took money for that. The delivery was re-arranged for the 21st and we were sent as well a text message a day before confirming delivery time slot. Again, we moved everything to take stock in and again it did not arrive. Trying to contact their customer support we were put on hold many times, waiting for somebody to explain what is going on. Again, somebody said that there was a system failure and order need to be booked in manually. We have lost our holiday taken especially to do our garden project. Disgrace and waste of time. We cancelled order and asked for the refund - we will see how that goes taking into account problems we already had.”

“No staff on the shop floor. Wrong prices registered at checkout. Stock very low. Woman on previous checkout closed the checkout in front of me without even speaking to me and then she walked away. Had to request help on next self-checkout. None was offered me although I am a woman and 67 years old. When I pointed out a discrepancy on the checkout price, I just received a shrug, so gave up and paid anyway. In 15 years of using B&Q, I have never received such shoddy treatment. Would have preferred to give 0 stars, but option not there”

“Popped in to kidderminster branch to purchase some turf. Only 2 tills open and at least 30 people in each queue. The pensioner serving on the till i was waiting to get to had an issue with his till. He put out 4 calls for help even asking for a duty manager assistance which were all in vain. The queues by this time resembled a football terrace . No wonder british shops are closing. I could have grown grass from seed quicker. Will be going to Home base next time”

“Only giving One Star because the option of no Stars isn't possible. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. B&Q delivered damaged goods that weren't fit for purpose and couldn't of cared less. One item was missing completely. Totally uninterested and unhelpful. They clearly don't have any customer service training. Will never buy anything from B&Q again.”
