“Visited Basildon store today to collect an item ordered, huge queue and only one person serving. The area behind the tills was a disgrace and looked like a jumble sale with parcels, clothing etc just thrown in heaps. When I asked where the manager was it fell on deaf ears. Someone needs to sort the staffing out and the general area behind the tills. Some customers abandoned their purchases and walked out.”

“Very, very disappointed with Click & Collect service. Placed an order on 26th July, received an email informing me that items had been despatched and they would be in store for collection between 29-31 July. Tried to cancel order and be refunded on 3rd August and received an email that I couldn't cancel because it was being prepared to be despatched, having previously been told it HAD been despatched. Today, 4th August, still not arrived in collection store.”

“Good selection of products but I am fed up of the queues at the till. Only 2 out of 7 tills were manned today (5 are self service that nobody wanted to use - including me!). Staff are doing their best but please - more manned checkouts and less self service tills!!”

“Was in waterside, Londonderry store today and was really enjoying the sales. I had filled a large basket and then to be told there were no changing rooms as there wasn't enough staff. There wasn't anyone to put clothes back and maintain the changing rooms and they didn't know when they would be opened again. The staff were more than apologetic and I'm sure they were fed up people being angry at them. I was advised to buy my goods and return them if they didn't fit. This would have been acceptable but I was told that if you buy anything on sale it can't be returned only exchanged . This has really put me off shopping in matalan and would prefer to go to a shop and try something on before I buy it . 2 of my friends left their baskets and said sure someone has to put these away anyway ,what's the difference in them being in the changing rooms. Not a great experience 😕”

“Something gone seriously wrong with Matalan service. Ordered jumper for home delivery which was 'lost in transit'. Hassle of getting refund as wasnt even given option of replacement but was still in stock so reordered for in store collection. Got email to say to collect. Went to disorganised store and waited ages while looking to be told it was 'lost'. At this time frustrated and asked to speak to manager. Clearly disinterested when came and told nothing she could do. No apology, help to find where missing or to contact anyone. Left really upset and frustrated. Rang customer services to be told no complaints department but manager would ring back in hour. They didnt. I rang back and to be fair man was apologetic and said very poor service and would feedback. Appears item is not in stock and wasn't lost in transit! God knows why they send these messages then and i was asked to collect non existant item. Another refund. To cap it all just checked again and website saying in stock. What on earth is going on, sort yourselves out!! Won't be returning any time soon.”

“I wish I could give 0 stars to this company. I ordered 3 items on an order, of which 2 were dispatched and 1 was cancelled stating that the item is out of stock. I could clearly see online that it wasn’t out of stock, and was able to place an order to get the one item which was apparently out of stock. The 2 items on the first order were dispatched, only for the courier to receive it and send it back to the Matalan rather than delivering it to my doorstep. Matalan then turn around and state that they will refund and can’t send the item back. Didn’t make any effort to help the customer in this instance. So good at disappointing customers. If you have time, money and patience then feel free to buy from this useless company. Don’t even understand how this company can survive…”

“Ordered some baby clothes using a refund card from Christmas gifts that were too small and also my own money. Vests arrived burst out of packet and with one missing. They insisted on only refunding the refund card even though I no longer had it, told me that was my problem because I was “told the terms and conditions when I bought the gift card” I didn’t buy it, I was told nothing of the kind and why not just refund me the part I paid with cash?? Months of emails. Given up. Absolutely garbage customer service.”
