“The light fitting is a deadly weapon , fitted less than 24 hours a two of the three glass shades dropped out, thankfully not hitting anyone. Dunelm don’t think there is anything wrong with the product that has three glass globes with hardy any lip being held in place by three small cheap plastic grub screws. Wiling to replace broken bulbs but how do you feel safe walking under them again and the tiny bits of broken glass we keep finding are a hazard for any of our grandchildren who visit . Rubbish shop not be visiting them again”

“They delivered the items smashed in pieces. All they offered was a refund or replacement. Poor customer service. No responsibility accepted. After complaining, they said they would refund the delivery cost (paid for express) as 'a gesture of good will'. Hilarious that they believe a gesture of good will is to refund me for a service they did not provide.”

“Delivery date was agreed and then told it would be almost a week later. Spent 40 mins on the phone ( 35 mins on hold!) I had driven up to my sons flat in Edinburgh to take delivery as he is working away (300 miles each way!), and taken time off - all for nothing. Only refunded half my money up to now and waiting for “a manager” to call me so that I can complain! Won’t hold my breath! Customer service is beyond incompetent. Will never shop there again.”

“Trust Dunelm no More!!!! I love the Dunhelm Dorma bedding brand and trust the quality. NO MORE! I've just bought a second set that is nowhere near the quality. Scratchy, cheap cotton. But because I trusted the brand I didn't think about it and immediately washed my new linen and slept on it last night where I was horribly disappointed. Customer service weren't at all bothered about the drop in standard of their trusted brand and said as I've washed it it's tough luck. My loyalty and trust reward with a flat "computer says no". Shame on you Dunelm!”

“I have been told that Im gonna receive my item on Tuesday around midday. But around 7 pm the driver contacted me and said I'm not gonna deliver yours. We will consider rescheduling which is gonna be in a few days. Customer service does not have any power over the cargo part and they do as they please. So, in the end, I did not get my parcel.”

“Poor service when reporting a mattress that Dunelm's own inspector said was firm and not medium as sold. Stay away from this company they're happy to take your money but zero customer service.”

“Purchased a sofa and 2 armchairs. 7 months on and the padding to one seat of the sofa and one chair has collapsed and is uncomfortable to sit on. I was offfered a 10% refund which I refused as it would not resolve the issue. Sent out someone to assess who agreed it was not acceptable then receive an email saying the assessor found it to be wear and tear! Dreadful quality and very poor customer service! Will no longer purchase anything from them.”

“My 2nd sofa was not on the van when delivered last week, so waited another week and the one just delivered was very badly damaged so I did not take it, now told another week before I will get it!”

“BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING FROM THIS COMPANY - THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS APPALLING! I bought a light cluster in 2019 and contacted Dunelm in 2020 (after the product was out of the year warranty) as one of the bubble balls had broken and I wanted the details of a replacement. They were very helpful and supplied me with a replacement which I wasn't expecting. Fast forward to 2023, and another ball has smashed as they are very delicate. Contacted customer services and it's a case of "Computer says no!". I have explained that I am not asking for them to replace the product or pay for the replacement but just to give me contact details of the supplier to which they have firmly said NO as it breaks their confidentially with the supplier??? They have basically told me to go into store and look at the box (yes, product is still available to buy) and check if there are supplier details on or in the box? They are refusing to answer why this is an issue in 2023 but was an easy task in 2020. I have reiterated over and over again that I am not expecting them to replace the part or contact the supplier to order the part, but apparently they are bound by confidentiality to their supplier? What about their customers needs and rights? They advised that if the product was in warranty, they would replace the broken part but as it is not they won't do anything to help. I have questioned the GDPR aspect and advised that it is in place to protect people who do not want their information shared but as their manufacturer has supplied their goods to the general public for them to be purchased, in good faith, they are not looking for protection from the general public and this is the complete opposite scenario. I have also asked Dunelm to either contact the Company on my behalf or give the Company my details so I can speak to them direct....again, I am faced with a blank wall. I am unable to find the Company direct on line and should be able to go through the company I bought the product from for their details. Furthermore, customers should be able to obtain parts for products that are out of warranty instead of being forced to purchase a whole item just for one part of it. They will not send me details of how to escalate to a higher department, just telling me to go online! I find this utterly ludicrous and will be escalating the issue further and warning others of this and that there is NO customer service in place whatsoever. I can understand it being more of a problem if the item was no longer sold by Dunelm but it is sat on their shelves. Why can't a member of staff look at the box and send me supplier details rather than me travel 30 miles to my nearest store to look for myself. The whole thing has utterly baffled and frustrated me and I will not stop until I have either a replacement ball or the supplier details. Unfortunately, it is companies like this who are happy to assist when taking your money but firmly shut the door once money has been taken. I can only imagine that the staff in 2020 were way more competent and helpful to their customers. This is an utter disgrace. SHAME ON YOU DUNELM”

“The product was clearly a second from the manufacturer. No option for replacing the damaged part, only to have replacement product delivered..in a weeks time! What a waste of time & effort. Not to mention the impact on our environment.”

“I have tried to contact Dunelm via telephone and live chat. Two weeks ago someone on live chat promised to email me regarding a query I had. That person never emailed me. I cannot contact Warrington store or the customer service line as neither answer the phone. Was very interested in making a large furniture purchase, but wanted to see the item first. Today, the live chat bot has repeatedly written: ‘I do not understand’. Looking to lose customers Dunelm? Keep going with your current appalling lack of customer service and you will be very successful at this.”

“Brought a whole lot of products at the Oldbury store (around £500 in 3 transactions). The goods were for a flat I was going to be renting which fell through, through no fault of my own. I was then left with surplus stuff which I didnt need so I thought id return it. I looked at the reciept and realised it was just over the 28 day return policy but I thought good will and all that. I hoped they'd refund me or give me a Credit note. Unfortunately Dunelm dont do Credit notes at all or refunds after 28 days. So the lad serving said he'd call the duty manager who was very abrupt and said all that was true I couldnt get a refund or a Credit note but mentioned in certain cases products could be exchanged so I said id do that but she then said it was only in certain circumstances and that 4 days over the 28 days was too far out to be considered for an exchange. Have to say it was handled so rudely. It wasnt as if I was taking the whole £500 worth back just around £75 which I have no need for the products anymore. I have to say I will no longer be using Dunelm in future. I will just go to The Range and B & M who seem to be more flexible and customer friendly”

“I needed vallance for a new Pine bed with posts. I asked the staff at Lancaster for advice and told them what the vallance was for. I needed it to be open at the sides to show the posts the assistant that helped me asked a higher staff member which one was suitable, they sold me one when I got it home it had no openings for the posts and would not fit that’s crazy when you bother to ask . I Took it back with the receipt the girl was very rude and said she would not change it because it was opened how was I supposed to find out without opening it. This was your staff to blame and that’s not a good policy . I would not recommend anyone buys this bedding. Frustrated J.gow”

“Ordered a mirror which arrived smashed. Arranged a return via webchat, gave me a day it would be collected so waited home all day, no one showed up. Collected the following day after contacting them again. Heard nothing about the return for 3 weeks so contacted them again.. told to wait a few more days. Contacted a month after returning the item told again to wait, I refused so they processed the refund, straight away received a text saying has been refunded and to wait 5 days for the money to reach my account. Why they couldn’t process the refund the first tine I contacted them I dont know! Useless wont order again to much hassle”

“I went to buy a bathroom caddy from Dunelm. Never used them before. Ordered for click and collect in London Colliers Wood. When I got to pick up my item, I was speechless. I got handed the caddy, marked, scratched, paint chipped off it in multiple places, un packaged, damaged to the point I thought this was a joke.... "Are you seriously selling me this?" I asked the cashier. "Can you not see the damage on this item?" No apology for the fact that I had traipsed across London to pick up this piece of rubbish, paid my tube fare there and back and wasted serval hours of my time. No apology. No explanation, she just replied, "It is what it is." SHOCKING service, the lady clearly had Zero customer Service experience and just offered me a refund. Never in my 45 years have I experienced such a terrible shopping experience. Had I known or maybe visited the store before I wouldn't have bothered with them. Shop was chaotic, goods looked cheap and badly made - honestly, I am beyond words that places like this even survive. Dreadful.”

“Bought a sofa and armchair at the same time and on same order number. Sofa is now faulty and although they have agreed to a refund for the sofa they are refusing to collect and refund the chair and as chair not faulty. I pointed out that I would not have purchased one without the other but they still refuse. I am now stuck with a chair which will not match any new sofa.”

“I visited Dunelm Mill in Plymouth yesterday. I wanted to order some expensive made to measure curtains. I waited 15 minutes at the haberdashery counter upstairs. Three employees passed me & said someone would be with me shortly. I saw no one & left the store, deciding I would buy else where. . Passed 3 employees staying together chatting inside the entrance. Worse customer service ever. 🤬”
