Thanks to Donna, Jonathan and Lynn who this weekend between them arranged for a roll of mesh (not in stock at leigh for the last 3 weeks), to be brought from Warrington B&Q to make up the amount I needed to finish a job. Thanks again, John Rigby.

I had a complete new bathroom supplied and fitted by B&Q, At first glance it looked very nice,I wont go into all the problems we had with delivery and the installer but their were many, is what i am more upset by is the very bad Quality glaze of the Cooke & Lewis toilet to the point that after every flush excrement stays stuck to the bottom & sides,I got in touch with B&Q and told them the problem, they in turn sent me another one (flown down from Scotland) i got a local plumber to replace it Only to find i have exactly the same problem with the replacment, what sort of rubbish is Cooke & Lewis turning out, Incidentally a friend ask me if they could have the original i told them the problem we had never the less they had it installed and yes the problem is still their. I would be interested to know if anybody else had this problem

Sheffield - Darnell branch. Manager and staff on bathroom department need customer care training. Manager also needs to take responsibility for items stacked in the wrong place. I bought a wc (3 of them stacked) below a sign that read £87 when I got to the till I was charged £147. I was actually told by the manager when I was looking at them that they were discontinued line hence the price. I bought several other items at the same time and only noticed I had been charged £147 when I got back to my car. I went back into the store the woman on the till couldn't care less. I went back to bathroom dept to query the price. The member of staff shrugged and walked of. I returned everything I had bought. Will I ever shop at B and Quality again. NO WAY.

The Diamond 60+ loyalty scheme is a total waste of time and its membership card does not warrant wallet space. I turned up on a Wednesday to claim my 10% saving on a new loo seat and a shower tidy. I was told they did not qualify as they were 'show items'. I am confused as to what a show item is as these came off the shelf from the loo seat and shower tidy sections - nothing special - just bog standard. Is a packet of screws a show item? Its back to Wicks and Homebase for me. Both represent better value in any event.

Company & staff I dealt with were pathetic , policy on treated customers should be changed, do yourself a favour & shop elsewhere ....

If I could give no stars I would! I ordered some laminate flooring,underlay, beading and paint (decorating bedroom) online, got a txt to say coming Friday (great up to this point), when it came I was 2 boxes short of laminate and one beading strip was snapped in half and I only had one half in the box! was told to email so rather than waiting I rang, they didn't have a clue why I was 2 boxes short and the paint was being delivered by a different company! And will now have to wait till TUESDAY for the other boxes. I'm doing my room tomorrow and currently sleeping on a mattress downstairs so I won't be doing that till Tuesday!

Do yourself a favour, buy from somewhere else. Ordered one door on the 15th, chose delivery for the 21st, so far so good. Got a text confirming delivery for the 21st but guess what, 21st came and no door. Tried the customer services number, but they were experiencing 'heavy call volume' so despite my call being 'important to them' I only managed to speak to someone after my 4th attempt. He was was 'very sorry' but as the courier was now closed he could offer no explanation but promised to ring me back the following morning. The following morning rolled round but of course no call was received, so I rang them. Coincidentally they were experiencing 'high call volume' and once again my call 'was important to them', eventually I got through. This time they were 'very sorry' and offered to call their courier.....but the courier was not picking up the phone, so B&Q promised to call me back..........guess what. On the day I ordered a door from B&Q I also ordered a full bathroom suite from a Victoria Plumb (they had got much better reviews, but didn't stock the door I needed), 5 wall panels from Wickes, some plumbing fittings from Screwfix and something else on Amazon. All arrived as promised on the 21st. Fur coat and no Knickers. Is B&Q closing down?

B&Q is without doubt the most disconnected, disjointed and poorly run organisation. If you want to go an buy an overpriced pot of paint, then head straight to B&Q! If you want to be thoroughly disappointed - then B&Q is for you. If you want common sense, decent customer service and confidence in aftersales, then you really need to go somewhere else! It is just a shame that I can't score them as ZERO!

Called into my local B&Q in Merthyr Tydfil Thursday evening. Picked up some self-leveling floor compound, and a few other related things, I planed on a spot of DIY at weekend. When I reached the checkout I was told that the self-leveling floor compound was not for sale unless I had a trade card. Went down the road to Wickes, bought everything I needed, no problem. Will never waste time at this store again.

The most misleading and slack company everrrrr....went to their diy class which website claims runs ever week. Went on monday morning, traveling almost 3 hours to surrey all the way from where I live... only to find that these guys stopped doing theclassez 2 weeks ago. Still went inside, another lady claimed they still run them!!!! In their own store??? Something not quite right there.. its a glaring sign that the company just doesnt care. Still cant get over the fact that companies like these exist. Cmon guys even small companies bother to update whats on and whats not on their website. Shows they are just not bovvered. Will never buy anything from them, and definitely a big no no to friends & family

Hello, I had worse ever experience with the purchase of furniture panel from local store in Becton. Order number 87236895. Customer service in that store is appalling!!! I purchased goods of total value of £140 and also ordered home delivery. As the goods were on the top shelves it could not be done on the day or next day. I paid for the goods and delivery and was given a receipt with a promise that somebody will call in the next 3,4 days. The week had past, no one called. I called numerous times to find out about the order, only to be put through random departments. Finally, a chap from kitchen department answer the phone and was able to look in the system and found out that the forklift driver was sick so the goods can't be dropped down and somebody will call me when the goods are dropped. No one called, so I called again and found out that goods are now on the shop floor but can only be delivered the following week. I arranged the alternative transport as I couldn't leave the builders waiting and the item was not available in other stores. When we arrived in the store my ordered goods were not reserved or put away with order number, they were just on the shop floor so had we not arrived on time they could have been sold. I bought my goods 28th of March. My delivery charge has not yet been refunded. Yes, you guessed right! I am being put through from department to department! I also spoke to manager who was not interested in any feedback and reffred me straight to head office. Employees including the manager in that store don't know their product, don't know their policies and lack basic common sense customer service.

Bought an extra box of tiles than we needed, so took them back. We were told that their policy is 45 days, but we could have a credit note. Then the manager came a long with the worst attitude ever and told us that the policy is rigid and we can't have the credit note. Policies are policies, but this experience has not left me feeling particularly warm towards B&Q

B&Q delivery service is appalling. We should have had our delivery on 28th april which was booked a week previous. We waited and in the end phoned customer services to find out what was happening as had had no communication regarding delivery. We were told delivery would a certain time slot. We were then told we would not get the delivery because of problems at the depot, then we were told it would be delivered and then would not. Upshot was that we did not receive our delivery and would get it on 30th. april. My husband stayed at home all day for this delivery which did not happen. My money for item was taken on 23rd april. No real apology and no compensation. I will not be ordering from B&Q again.

I bought some valspar mixed coloured paint - bright green! at b and q in queensbury. When I got home I opened it and it was white- so I took it back and told the lady on customer services..- she didn't seem to believe me- called the manager who came and had a look, then instead of apologise ing said ok we won't charge you for another one- well obviously!!!! As you gave me totally wrong coloured paint in the first place and wasted petrol and my time. !! Infact he didn't apologise- just said these things happen- pretty terrible customer service..
