“What a terrible company to deal with !! It seems impossible to return items received damaged.Have been into the local store but they were unable to do anything for us but to supply a phone number which nobody answers.We have decided to learn from our mistake and never buy anything else from the Range again.!!! We also have decided not to waste anymore time trying to return the item but we will have it repaired at our own cost.Having read the reviews on actually getting a refund we will not to risk returning the item ending up being at least £75 pounds down plus cost of the return.”

“Please do not buy rattan sun loungers from this company as you will certainly wished you had just set light to your cash as that would have been more pleasurable to have done. As for returning goods via there partner service you have more chance of winning the lottery. I would not even recommend there online company to my worst enemy. Read the reviews on Trust Pilot as well.”

“This service is appalling. They keep you waiting on the phone for ages only to pass you to another department to keep you waiting again. If I were you, just spend your money elsewhere. This is an appalling and unprofessional business.”

“Horrendous experience, ordered a sofa after moving into our new flat, was told it would arrive last Tuesday. It is now the following Thursday, and we've spent the entire time chasing customer service who are in turn chasing the imbeciles at their third party delivery company who marked our sofa as 'delivered'. We received no notice of this, so assumed it was simply delayed, only found out it had supposedly been delivered when we called on Monday. On that day we were told a case had been opened with the delivery company and we'd hear back (and quote) "within a maximum of 48 hours." As I said, it's now Thursday. Even if they respond in the next two days we now won't have a sofa until well into next week if not after. They're playing games with people's time, money and wellbeing, this is one of the worst online retail experiences I've ever had, hands-down.”

“They would have a Zero star rating if that was possible. Customer Service is actually totally non-existent. I ordered some furniture with a delivery date of a week later. Two weeks later and following a couple of automated text messages telling me my order would be delivered on certain dates and then no delivery on those dates. I now find that you can't actually get in touch with their customer services as the number they provide is never answered, or if after 45 minutes it is, of course, that person can't help and they have to transfer you to another department who then don't answer their phone. I wasted 2 hours of my life getting absolutely nowhere! You email them via their contact form and they don't bother to respond other than the automated reply so you know they have received your email!! To The Range - if you can't deliver items DON'T state a date by which the customer can expect their delivery - it's false advertising!”

“Wish I had read this page before I ordered from this awful company!!! Absolutely shocking customer service. Order wardrobes and chest of drawers from here. £550 worth, Never again!! Took ages for them to come then gave us a thirty minute warning they were coming to deliver them. I was out so they left outside beside shed. So heavy I had to ask a friend to come help me lift them inside. Opened box to find them damaged. Emailed asking to get them exchanged. Then ended up phoning the range in Aberdeen as I got no response to email. They were quite helpful then turned quite unhelpful very quickly. Constantly having to chase up about when our new wardrobes would arrive. Gave up in end due to the fact they lied for so long when they were in fact Out of stock. Asked for a refund so organised to get them picked up. That was a carry on aswell with the delivery company turning up at such short notice. Unhelpful when you don’t work near your house. Arrowxl picked up on the 6th of august. Nearly been two weeks since they picked them up. Phone call by arrowxl asking to pick up wardrobes. Clearly the company have bad communication skills with their team .Email from today saying they need to be picked up by 5th of August. This confused me cause today is the 17th of August. However the range are now saying that they are not in the warehouse , so we will have to wait another week for refund!! Phoned head office fobbed off to someone else. Phoned the range in Aberdeen today fobbed off to someone else ,who said they would phone back at half 5. Surprise surprise no call on my phone. Absolutely shocking customer service from all and not helpful in the slightest. I wouldn’t even enter the store again ,let alone buy from it. Also wouldn’t even give it a star.”

“We ordered garden furniture from The Range online as it wasn't in stock in The Range Bournemouth. It was supposed to be delivered signed for. It wasn't! It was dumped outside in damaged boxes. When we opened the boxes we found that it was obvious the furniture was a second and the bags of bolts and washers were completely open and spilled, with many missing through the holes in the box. The rattan was split in places and completely substandard. We tried to return the item by phoning the returns service - 15+ attempts at 45 minutes at a time. In the end we took it to the store, where they said it would take longer to get a refund but we accepted that. We then received a snotty email saying we had to pick up the goods as The Range supplier wouldn't pick it up from The Range as it had to be a domestic household. We returned back to the store and picked it up. We were then told by The Range Head Office we would have to organise pick up with the supplier directly. We tried but surprise surprise the supplier didn't answer, even after hours of calls. We then called The Range again. We were told we would hear within 3 days then pick up would be immediately organised. Yes you've guessed it - 3 days have come and gone and we've heard nothing. It's now been over 30 days since the initial delivery and The Range have been the most useless retailer we have ever come across. To say awful is a massive understatement. Shocking absolutely shocking. Never and we repeat never order something from this company. If they haven't got it in store then order elsewhere!”

“I clearly cancelled an order yesterday morning , I received a email from the range to confirm this , this morning £919 has been taking from my account , spoke to a lovely gent who has put a manual transfer baa as ck to my account , this will t as me uoto 5-7 working days , which I find astonishing, technically the company has robbed me , I would never purchase anything on line from the range again , luckily I can afford to see £919 leave my account , if I couldn’t afford it , the company shows absolutely no compassion , Ran by utter Scum bags at the top end .”

“After reading all the terrible reviews I feel I haven’t come off too badly as I am only trying to get back £26.99 for a couple of doormats. Nevertheless I have to agree that the Range has the worst ever customer services. My goods were from a third party company and sold by the Range. When I contacted this company I found them to be so helpful and pleasant. They had received my parcel back and told me that they advised the Range to issue a refund to me. They even said that they too had difficulty dealing with the Range. I had been contemplating buying garden furniture but not now. It’s a shame really because I shop at the store often and always found it to be good value for money but I will think twice now.”

“Ordered a bed from The Range. Arrived 2 WEEKS LATE from the date we were told in store. When it did arrive the instruction manual was missing except page 5 of 5. Called the number for head office and been waiting for someone to answer for over 30 minutes so eventually hung up. Went to to the store and was given a manual which was for a different bed. As putting bed together it came apparent that the side pieces and the bars were for a smaller bed whereas the rest of the pieces were for a bigger bed. Rang head office and waited 45 mins for them to answer. Was told they would collect the bed and then refund us once they had recieved it back but quick take money when they were selling it to us. Every staff member spoken to just didnt not care at all and showed no empathy whatsoever.”

“Hi, I have refused my delivery because I couldn’t cancel my order due to waiting time on the phone (calls never answered), despite calling several times. I called everyday from the 11th August for a week but still had no luck on getting through to the customer service for my refund. Due to my order being linked to the Range plus, the waiting time on the phone is triple. I have also sent 4-5 emails regarding the issue but had no reply either.”

“I ordered 2 wardrobes in march and when assembling we noticed some faults, i contacted the range only to be told they couldn't do anything because i had started to assemble them, i explained that one of the problems wouldn't be noticed until assembling but they were not listening, i had a problem with something a few years ago zmand was sorted straight away so i dont kniw what has happened to their customer service now but it is terrible. After ordering these wardrobes i ordered a chest of drawers seperately also in march and was told it would be delivered in june which was bad enough, then i got tokd it would be august, i have now been told it would be september, i hsve tridd to phone them but like others have said i was stuck on the phone for over half an hour with nobody answering. This is totally unexceptable but they get away with it.”

“Purchased The Portland range of garden furniture in May 2020, with the hot weather we experienced mid July the furniture self combusted and set fire to other garden furniture and ruined our new garden decking. Contacted the range the following day to advise of what had happened which is quite a serious complaint and they couldn’t have cared less. Have had and emailed confirming receipt of my initial complaint and another from a customer service advisor to which no other contact has been made. Trading standards & the Office for Product safety are now involved and plan on taking further action against the range. Not even the CEO Alexander Simpkin can be bothered replying to a LinkedIn message regarding the dangerous and unfit products the company he is in charge of sells. Save your money people! Steer clear and buy elsewhere! They aren’t interested in issues or if a problem arises! Spend your money elsewhere!”

“Waited 5 months for a £1000 item that was paid for in March only for it to arrive damaged in the courier warehouse. Item was never sent to us even though we had a scheduled delivery. 10 mins after the delivery time we got a text saying it was damaged. Customer service incredibly unhelpful. Paying £1000 for a product that was never in stock, effectively selling something that doesn't exist. No remorse or apologies. Not even a hint of I'm sorry. 2 our of 3 pieces were fine yet never sent. Communication between the range and it's courier is a shambles. I can speak to both in less than 25 mins but it takes 2 working days for an email to be processed. Joke business.”
