“We’ve just returned from the Bury store and I can’t believe how rude one member of staff at the trade entrance was. After spending over £100 on paint we were stood waiting to pay another member of staff shouted out in a very aggressive tone “whose paying,whose paying?”. When I replied it was my husband he said “ well you’ve got to go outside “. We have put up with poor service in the past but this is beyond rude. On a good note the lady on the paint counter is lovely and helpful.”

“B&Q Doncaster - Horrific attitude towards customers by both the Store manager (Richard) and his team of very young and inexperienced "assistants" We wanted to spend £600 on a furniture set at this store and long story short, checked online to find they were the nearest store with stock. When we go there, the stock was in the warehouse but the "assistants" we spoke to couldn't be bothered to get the stock from the back for us and told us to "come back another day" - when we complained to the Store manager that we'd travelled specifically to that store as they were the only one within a sensible driving distance that had stock, we were then advised that we "shouldn't be making the journey anyway as it was non-essential travel", and he wasn't prepared to put one aside for us even though we were prepared to go back for it. What a delightful attitude - no wonder his team are untrained and rude if he leads by that example. AVOID.”

“Generally, staff at friern barnet outlet too immature to run a shop of that size and complexity. Poorly laid out, absurd winding queuing system supposedly to protect ( mostly young) staff. Avoid.”

“Utterly ridiculous that you won't let people in with children. What the hell would you like me to do with them whilst I shop!!! Pathetic system, queued to be turned away. Will buy future purchases elsewhere rather than use B&Q!! Should be zero stars! Disgusted!”

“Went to the paint mixing section today after queuing up 25minutes only to be served or should I say lack of it by two miserable women who were more interested in talking amongst themselves than to me. This store always had a lack of customer service but it has just gone recently really bad. Absolutely no customer service whatsoever. Not interested in helping customers. Would be a Minus star if I could give them one.”

“Ordered a trimmer via click and collect at 12.52pm one day. Following morning got 2 emails 1 straight after the other stating goods not in stock and a refund issued at 10.15 next morning. Went straight down to the store and found product on the shelf! If your too busy turn off the click n collect option, hence the low score.”

“Placed an order that I didn’t notice until later wasn’t due to come for 2 months in mid July. Decided to cancelled but no way of cancelling order online. Emailed customer service, 2 weeks later - no response. Tried to call. Directed to website then disconnected. Took my £667 pounds but no way of cancelling and no way of getting through. Disgusting lack of basic service”

“Last week i visited chiswick B&Q and bought a washing line but whilst in the queue outside this customer drove over a small pot of paint in the car park spraying his 68 mercedes with white paint - there were lots of staff standing there staring so i said instead of staring get some cloths and help - there i heard the staff gighling saying what pratt does that ! 😡 so i went straight in store and reported the staff and spoke to the blond supervisor/manager who said ok i will.talk to them only to see the same manager and same staff eating take out on store tables laughing about the same situation ! Really B&Q is this what you employ ? Hope your customer service training is up to scratch ! 1. Train staff to assist customers needs and requirements 2. Ask management to deal with complaints with upmost respect 3. If managers and staff want to sit inside the store in a group eating take out using the store as a buffet style cafe dont let yourselves be overheard laughing at a customer misfortune.. Shocking ! 4. Lots of shops are shut at the moment and this is difficult times but to make this poor chap panic about his new car then all.laugh about it is shameful”

“One star is too good. Pathetic levels of service. Ordered 6 pieces of c16 timber via the website as it was advertised as delivery within 4 days. Waited a couple of weeks without receiving any notifications...I sent 4 emails to them asking where the order was and when it would be delivered...waited several days more...spoke to someone on the telephone from B and Q who said they would speak to Metsa, the company doing the fulfillment, and get back to me. Left it at that. Received a txt from B and Q 3 days later stating that the order is expected to be delivered on 25th June - A FULL 2 MONTHS AFTER ORDERING! Waited on the phone for half an hour to cancel and get a refund. Useless. Ordered online from Jewson and got the timber delivered the same day - for cheaper. Trade Point....trades can't wait 2 months for a bit of timber. I could build a house in 2 months!!”

“Ordered a £2500 of kitchen units, in January, on the delivery day (March) they delivered about £100 worth of stuff. Contacted them loads of times only to be told that the order has been completed. Now all I get is automatic replies. Disgusting aftercare service. To be fair, never had a problem in store, but I've never ordered so much before. Shocking service.”

“Ordered online , received confirmation email saying will be delivered within 14 days and would be contacted within 2 days for delivery date . That was weeks ago , tried all ways to to contact them including Twitter and Facebook and just get what looks like an automatic response from them to check out their questions and answers page . Have had no way of speaking to a person . They ask for patients and understanding during this time but where is their understanding that they have taken my money . They should be advising people that if they choose to order online they will receive no customer service and will not get their items . But they are happy to take your money”

“My husband checked the item he wanted was in stock at Meir Park as we knew we would have to queue to get in. Website said they had 2 in stock on aisle 74. We drove there and even though the queue was quite long we were in the store within about 10 - 15 mins. We looked around for aisle 74 and couldn't find anything after 69. We walked round the shop trying to find the item where we thought it might be. No joy. We asked a colleague by the door where aisle 74 was. He told us to ask at Click and Collect desk. Colleague on there didn't know and asked another colleague who directed us to the far end of the store by the trade entrance. Walked all the way back up and found the item we wanted out of reach on the very top shelf near the back. We asked a colleague if she could get the item for us and she told us to go and find another colleague who could get steps to reach the item. My husband walked nearly all the way back to the checkouts and asked yet another colleague if she could help. Her answer was she couldn't use the steps to get items high up for customers. He walked all the way back to the bottom end of the store again and told the colleague at the trade entrance the woman he'd asked couldn't help. We were just about to leave by the trade entrance when another colleague came in from outside and the first colleague asked her if she could get the airplane steps and get the item for us. Her answer was "I don't know where they are". End of story. My husband and I just walked out then. So we'd spent nearly an hour queuing, looking for aisle 74 and asking for help and ended up coming out the store without the item we went for. Why are they telling people on the website that the item they want is in stock yet when you get there the item is out of reach and no one is willing to assist in getting you that item. Not impressed at all. My husband came straight home and ordered the item from Amazon as obviously pointless trying to get it from B & Q.”

“Home delivery saga pretty much the same as those below. Unfortunately, when I check the order progress on My Account it is annotated as 'Order Complete', which it isn't, I haven't received anything . There doesn't appear to be a viable method of communicating with them so I'm going to try going into our local store to attempt some form of basic information exchange, wish me luck!”

“I placed an order from B&Q on the 24th April. Some of the products were delivered we had wood that should have been delivered in 14 days. I have heard nothing so sent a message via their support site. I received no response. A week later I message again and get no response. I call their support line I sit through all of the diatribe to be disconnected I try another 3 times with the same response. I am by now bloody furious. We have a smallholding and have used B&Q lots for our DIY needs. I understand they are under pressure with the current situation but to not deliver and completely ignore customers and say the phone is only for urgent issues but then just disconnect people is infuriating. If I ever get through to them I will request a refund and never order from them again.”

“Awful. Had an email saying I had cancelled my order...which I didnt! And funnily enough it was due tomorrow. Cant reach anyone on the phone and no one is replying to emails. The item was ordered over 3 weeks ago. Appalling behaviour.”

“Bought nearly £200 worth of tiles but was short of a few border tiles but was told not to worry just take the product code and order on line,great! Looked on line didn't recognise the code although it was printed on my bill so after a long search put other info in and said there was 25 in colchester store,which is 20 odd miles away,but needing to get the job done went there.Found a few broken ones so asked to speak to see if they could help me.young lady on the till rang through and said someone will come.waited 20 mins was getting fed up so asked a member of staff for help but he said couldn't do anything, so he asked if I would like to see a manager,when the manager came said there was nothing he could do about it. So wasted a lot of time I had already started tiling so had to continue,but will avoid shopping there again. OK to take your money but after that your on your own. Unhappy John Moody”
