Terrible service in Livingston at the checkouts. We waited a full 5 minutes for someone to come after we pressed the `Help` button, then we waited another full 5 minutes after our card was not accepted. This was a full 10 minutes, despite 3 staff at the tills. admittedly only 1 of them stood like a showroom dummy. We asked to speak with the manager and the checkout girl said she will `ask James to come down`. After yet another 5 minutes Mary arrived - but she did not identify herself to us as a Manager. She genuinely could have been the toilet cleaner pretending to be a manager. We don`t know. Naturally, she defended her staff and even told me " have you nothing better to do " when I told her I was going to put up a bad review. Highly unprofessional and rude to say such a thing to a customer.

Very very disappointed with MATALAN, I have been shopping in this store for many years! The store in Oxford Street is a disgrace to London ... waited in the queue to be served for a long time, change rooms were locked so I am now having to post clothing back to the store at my cost ...

Forced to used self checkouts by member of staff at fareham store the queue was long and only 1 person on till ut was only accepting cash only. I avoid these self checkouts much better to speak to person that hands you a receipt not like these self checkouts that only gave me 1 receipt which I thought would be an itemised of which instead was just my proof of payment and they was so busy that day I left not realising . .I tried to return item to be told by a member of staff No and refused to give her name asked to speak to the manager said she was, but asked another colleague to be told she is only a member of staff that she call the manager , i explained to the manager the situation said No but with tech today they should be able to apparently used to able on old system but can't on new system, but said she can but will take along time to look up on system has she said she done it for someone else but wouldn't and said that herself this isn't the first time that's happened and have told the company this happens. And done nothing improving the level of service they give to customers that keep the stores open .I called customer service twice to be cut off 20 mins each time awfully bring back checkout staff instead of staff just standing telling people to use self one's and cut queue s waiting down .

This company miss lead there customer over pricing so around a year ago I bought a top that had a £9 ticket on it but they charge me £9.50 the store in question did honour the price and was told the price had gone up However last week I brought the same top online and again same problem same two prices yet the head office tells me the price had gone up but refused to honour the price Funny how it went up a year ago but u still have the wrong price on it So DOBULE CHECK WHAT YOU PAY WITH THIS COMPANY AS THEY THINK IT OK TO ADVERTISE ONE PRICE BUT CHARGE YOU ANOTHER

Although I am not happy with the self service methods Matalan are now using I am completing a review today as we have encountered a really friendly and helpful member of staff assisting at the till. Sadly I did not take her name so cannot give you a name but we shopped at Merry Hill on the 17th March at around 13.45. What a lovely change to come out of a shop and feel like a valued customer.

receiving excellent service from sales assistant Sam at Killingworth Matalan on Monday the 12th of December. She helped me order an item using the Matalan app. As this item was out of stock in the store. However,I am so disappointed with the ongoing poor service that I have received. On the 20th of December I received an email saying, “ Your Click & Collect order - 56329551 is ready for you. It’s waiting for you at the KILLINGWORTH Matalan Store, and they can only hold on to it for 14 days.” I traveled to the store with my collection email. I was told that they didn’t have the item and would ring me. Unfortunately no one got back in touch with me. I rang the Matalan help line, I was told that the item had been delivered to the Killingworth store. I explained that I had been to the store and they were unable to find the order. I was then told that because the order had been lost, I would get a full refund. I then on the 21st of December got an email saying, “Just to let you know we’ve received your returned items and a refund has been created” This poor service has discouraged my wife and I from using the online app service. I could never recommend using the Matalan app to any of my friends or family.

I ordered two jumpers on Friday and both arrived the following Monday delivered by Evri. They are excellent quality for the price and even came with free hangers! Amazing! As a new customer to Matalan I was surprised to read so many negative reviews! Maybe, I was lucky ... but, my experience was excellent!

Shopping at your Rochdale Store, what a disgrace! Lots of products wrongly priced, in the wrong boxes/shelves. The floor was strewn with dirt as well as stock, in the ailes and under/between the fixtures. Not a great shopping experience!

I ordered two mens white thermal tee shirts and actually ended up with three ordinary tee shirts in black, white and grey. So not only did whoever put the order together get it wrong, I had the privilege of not only paying for the delivery but also paying to return something I didn't order to start with!! Not impressed!

Ordered 17/11/22. No items and still waiting for money back. Three calls to chase. Just seen other reviews on here and sounds like common problem.

Don’t ever buy Virgin Experience Day vouchers from Matalan. I have been trying to return some, as unwanted, fir over a week. Being given the runaround. Told to return to a store, who wouldn’t accept them. Told me to contact customer services again. They have told me to return to store. Raised an issue with PayPal. Still no refund

Missed 4 items from my order. Emailed matalan had no response for 4 weeks. I called them a total of 5 times to get my money for missing items. Not a good experience and would not be shopping online with matalan again.

So disappointed by Matalan and their customer service. Goods promised for 4-6th Nov. Did not turn up and customer service had to be chased several times for any information regarding the order. Then they decided it was lost and they would issue a refund which then did not include the delivery charge. What a liberty. The goods never arrived and they then send you an email to say they are refunding your returned goods. I will not be ordering from them again nor going in store. Their customer service and attitude to customer service is way below an acceptable standard.

I purchased some sale items in the Biggleswade store, I tried them on at home because they no longer have any fitting rooms. As the items didn't fit I returned them for a refund, I had paid using my debit card so I was expecting the refund to be put back on the debit card. They flatly refused to do this for me and issued the refund onto one of their gift cards, thus forcing me to return to the shop another time to spend what's on the card instore. So be aware if you buy any sale items here because they wont give you your money back if they don't fit. I will now only go back once more to spend the gift card and then that's it, I'll no longer shop at Matalans ever again.
