“I was informed the day before due delivery that Wickes didn't have the stock. This despite having taken the money and the order having been placed several weeks previously. This was blamed on a problem at the suppliers factory which Wickes had only just found out about! Seems like Wickes stock control is non-existent. This has caused problems for a larger building project. I have used Wickes in the past a lot but will now reconsider. order number 597803495). 597803495).”

“Bought patio doors they are faulty. Sent 12 e mails to customer service over an 8 week period. Just get standard e mail back each time. So now I have patio doors which I have to tie shut. Thanks wickes.”

“Ordered ladders online which turned up unwrapped, dirty, wrongly labelled, and with the stabiliser bar missing which basically rendered them unusable and potentially deadly to anyone unfamiliar with ladders who tried to use them. Sent them back over 3 weeks ago but still waiting for refund, one lie after another from 'apologetic' call centre staff who promise this that and the other but basically do nothing. Always thought Wickes was a decent, reputable company but I was clearly wrong. Will never give them another penny of my money. Do yourself a favour and go to B&Q instead.”

“Unfortunately I couldn't give lower than one star. The service from Wickes has been appalling. We ordered our new bathroom two months in advance, once our order arrived we were missing the toilet pan but was told this was coming by the delivery driver. It wasn't the product we were sold was discontinued, it took a week and more than 10 calls to resolve this. Over radiator simply didn't show up and when asked about this the salesroom manager couldn't care less and told us we could source our own which meant our installation ran a week over. I've have written numerous complaints about the service and lack of care for their customers and haven't received a reply. I wouldn't recommend or use Wickes ever again.”

“Once again Wickes messes up and leaves me in the mess. I ordered my stuff online several days ago and paid for it in full. But the day before delivery they tell me that they will be refunding me for some items that they now don't have ! Apparently they have searched high & low but cannot find the items now. I am housebound disabled and I have been waiting for these so that I can start my job. This has caused me a lot of trouble again. I should consider myself lucky that I am just short of a couple of things compared to the time when Wickes failed to deliver on time, then told me it will be the next day, failed to deliver again and extended the delivery by 24 more hours 3 MORE OCCASIONS before quietly giving me a full refund ! Absolutely shocking. I wish there was another option for me close by. I guess this is how Wickes gets away with it. And when I asked for the complaints dept they simply laughed and told me that it would be themselves taking my complaint. Absolutely shocking. Wickes are not disabled friendly at all.”

“Up there with the worse. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Ordered online for collection at Sutton-in-Ashfield. After confirmation, I travelled 45 minutes to collect the order. "oh sorry the wrong size has been picked". The person responsible for the mistake walked at a snails pace upon being called and seemed that he couldn't care less. After a considerable wait, they established they could not fulfil my order and tried to sell me an alternate sized item. Why would I buy something that doesn't fit? Upon indicating that it was unacceptable and that I would be complaining, I was told "that's fine, no problem mate" in a sarcastic manner as he walked off. No attempt was made to look at other stores or online for the item I had ordered and dismissed the case with a refund. Item no out of stock online which I could have purchased from at the time of order. Disgusting customer service and shopping experience. Definitely one of the worst I've experienced. My advice is to buy elsewhere whenever possible unless you want to be insulted, experience frightening levels of customer service, and leave without what you went in there for.”

“Shocking company to deal with. Ordered in stock items with a 14 day delivery time (according to their website). 21 days later still no Conrad t from their supplier. I 'phoned Wickes 8 times over the course of 4 days and not one me ever of their customer service department had the courtesy to call me back as promised. I've had no choice but to cancel the order and request a refund. Don't be tempted to buy from Wickes. They will let you down and they won't care.”

“I spent a little over £22K on 2 bathrooms with Wickes. I think that the design process and the things that actually arrived were all fine. But it was entirely ruined by the Wickes installation. The behaviour of the Wickes installers was appalling, particularly in terms of their covid-unsafe practices but also because they were just lazy and sloppy. It was like a disco here for 5 weeks with their radio blaring, they made every inch of my home, drive, garage and lawn filthy with plastering and grout mess and they worked 8.30 to 2.30 max per day. But, you could live with that if things were done OK at the end right? They were not. My blind grandmother would have done a neater job with the sealant. The worktops joins are bad enough that I'll be lucky if they last 12 months. Apparently I chose difficult mosaic tiles so its my fault that they look like they belong to a buck toothed hill billy. The 'cabinets' that the cisterns are built in to are so wonky that the gaps go from 2mm to 35mm in just 2 feet. The list is very very long and painful. I tried to complain but the 'remedy' is to send back the same shaved ape (Wickes installer) who made the mess in the first place. Everyone I spoke to and showed photos to at Wickes (a) tried to make it a me v Wickes installer conversation that had nothing to do with Wickes and (b) avoided being caught admitting that they were shocked by the poor outcome while sympathising that I had not had the proper Wickes experience. I will pay someone else to fix the mess rather than have that Wickes installer on my property ever again.”

“Went to the Poole depot to schedule a bathroom design and installation. Staff seemed pleasant and helpful. Booked a design visit and they got the day and time wrong. Rescheduled and then the "car broke down" 1 hour before he was supposed to visit us. Went to a different Wickes store. Couldn't see anyone for 2 weeks and they promised they would fit the bathroom before Christmas. Then after everything they told me they can't install until after christmas. Given up with them now. Gone elsewhere. The only attractive thing about them is the finance option. Waste of time I could have used someone else and had it done before christmas.”

“Signed up to have a new bathroom fitted and paid the deposit as I was told the installation team would contact me the following day. Then heard absolutely nothing. Emailed to chase a few times and either didn't get a reply or was told it would be "hopefully soon". Expensive, incompetent staff, dreadful/nonexistent service. Fortunately, we were able to cancel in the nick of time. My advice would be to go anywhere but Wickes.”

“Kitchen plans etc agreed and deposit paid Nov 2019 - still not finished - finance company now want payment (1yr deferred interest period ends oct) Several minor issues with fitting (price of which seem to increase daily!!) but main problem was half way through advised they couldn't fit kitchen as designed - problem with the plans. This was a major issue as design was only reason I chose Wickes - could no longer have place to eat in kitchen - semi circular breakfast bar was replaced by a straight'shelf, not deep enough even to hold newspaper and chip off coffee! As old kitchen removed and new basic structure in place I couldn't do anything about it. This also meant that more wall, floor etc needed 'finishing' but they wanted more money to do this. Wickes guy came round and agreed that it should be finished at no extra cost and sent new fitters. They discovered several fitting problems that I hadn't noticed (as was concerned with the design) so ordered 10 new parts. These have been blocking my hall since March. Even taking account of Virus precautions - this remedial work should have been completed (or at least stated) by now. Finance co say I need to repay unless Wickes ask them to defer but trying to get hold of anyone to deal with this is virtually impossible.”
