I ordered 2 teal bar stools, but was sent 1 in teal and one in silver. I contacted them online, sent a photo and was promised a replacement in the right colour. However shortly after I received an email saying that they had cancelled my order, for no apparent reason. To date I have never had the correct colour stool and am stuck with 2 mismatched items. Just don't seem to be able get any contact or explanation from them. I have been a loyal customer for many years but this is not acceptable service. Very dissapointed.

Why do dunelms at staples corner not answer the phones I have been trying to ring them regarding a order which was a mistake made by one if the staff only made the order on the 29/3/19 I was ringing them for over 2 hours ??? Finally got and answer on Saturday morning still waiting 3 hours later for someone to ring me back.??????????

Ordered a sofa. Delivery is between 7am and 7pm and you can call after 6.30 the evening before for your slot. This takes 15 mins holding on the line to get to speak with someone. It would be much more helpful if this was sent by email or text automatically I mean it is pretty important. The sofa arrived boxed for self assembly. Bits were missing from the assembly parts. Part of it was damaged too so had to arrange return. We were compensated for the missing bits which we had to buy but at this point hadnt seen the damage to the sofa. A replacement came, again after calling for a delivery slot which this time took 2 x 15 min calls as i got cut off (would have been nice if first adviser called me back. The second call also got cut off but I had asked the adviser to call me if that happened which thankfully he did (once bitten!). The replacement was also damaged and we are having a terrible time getting someone to take responsibility and make sure the next (3rd) replacement is undamaged before its sent out so that we are sure to finally get what we've paid for. I have asked to talk to a manager to complain but this request appears to be ignored, no one has called and I am expected to wait another week and be inconvenienced again to take delivery. How many times do they consider this is acceptable? Although most advisers are friendly and helpful the impersonal nature of the procedures are frustrating and not what I expect from a well known company. I'm still waiting...

Hello I bought curtains and a duvet set to match about 15mths ago. I didn’t use them right away and hung them around October I took them down to be professionally cleaned during this process the black out lining got damaged the cleaners called me and gave me a letter noting that the correct chemical had been used and advised me to take them back to dunelm mill in kilbowie road , Clydebank and show them the problem. The girl at customer service was lovely but although they still had the bedding (on line ) they did not have any curtains there was not on there system any more they could only offer me £7 !!! What an insult I asked to see the manager the girl went into room behind her to tell her. The manager didn’t come out but told the girl to offer me £24!!! They were darmask curtains. So think before you buy anything in the company I am totally discussed to say the least . Agnes Macdonald

I have ordered over £1000.00 worth of shutters and can't get in touch with anyone to get them fitted. Took a week for someone to answer the phone at Trafford branch wasn't interested in the fact that it had taken me so long. Have me the number for the saleslady whose phone is going straight to answerphone at the end of my tether

We have just had a delivery from Dunelm, the delivery company was Panther, there was a little blip as our telephone no wasn’t taken correctly but other than that the service from Dunelm and panther were excellent, we could track Panther’s progress bringing our package and the driver phoned us about 1/2 hour before arrival, all in all a very good service.

Hi I felt I had to let you know about a lovely helpful member of staff at your Solihull branch who went above and beyond to help me. Her name is Sue Hickey, she was so lovely and made my shopping experience amazing, she became my personal shopper and a valuable 2nd opinion that I needed. Thank you so much. I definitely will be back. X

Saw the curtains I want on the site so went to my local store. Helpful assistant told me the are a web exclusive item but it doesn't say that on the listing but they couldn't order it for me. Tried to order them online but was unable to do so. Emailed Dunelm who replied it was currently not available as indicated by the crosses next to delivery choice (quite snotty in tone). I replied that the exprerss delivery had a green tick against it. No reply but did notice later this had been changed though subsequently it is back (go figure!). If an item is out of stock or not currently available then indicate that on the listing. It's not hard to do

Further to the below: Colliers Wood store staff redeemed themselves! Despite the poor impression given over the phone, the items were indeed in stock and I was offered help to carry them to my car despite the rain. I was impressed with the variety and quality of wares on this, my first (and now not last!) Visit.

Website does not reflect store stock. Reservation system does not work - I waited three hours and received no email or text. Phone rang endlessly before it was picked up. The reply from store staff: 'We may not have it in stock or we may have sold it. It's the weekend - we are very busy.' The Colliers Wood store clearly needs extra staff and better IT support from HQ. First and last experience of using this company.

I tried to order roller blinds online but their website didnt work. Called their office and placed the order with 7 working day delivery. They got my email address wrong so no order confirmation. Called them a week later and they stated "my order had not been processed". I got so fed up with calling them as they just had no idea what had happened to my order. What a complete waste of time. I've now wasted 2 weeks and have to start again to look for blinds. At least my money was returned to my account. Wont be dealing with Dunelm again.

Terrible, awful, Ignorant customer services.... purchased the Blue Rupert Sofa in Dec online. I was emailed a delivery date of 9th Jan, then an email from them saying its been cancelled, then an email for delivery on the 17th, then cancelled again. then the 21st of January.... beat this! first of all there was no time slot given to me, then they called me ten minutes before turning up (not acceptable as I was at work and had to race across town to meet them) then, the wagon turns up the delivery guy was doing his thing with paperwork etc, then to be told 'erm, its not on the wagon' How do you misplace a 3 seater sofa??!! Furious, I thought oh ill receive a phone call from Dunelm explaining this.... wrong! nothing, it was me chasing them everyday for weeks, weeks!! unacceptable Dunelm. Funny though as all the reviews on Dunelm had received their sofas well after id purchased mine and were delighted with the customer service (sure these are paid/ fake reviews) I cancelled the order as no one could tell me anything about it being delivered, ever! Dunelm, sort yourselves out on planning/ priority of deliveries

Wouldn't give Dunelm 1 star but you cannot write a review without out it. Ordered 4 packs of 12in mirror tiles, paid for Express delivery, this was 2 weeks ago, ever since then there has been excuse after excuse as to why they were not delivered. Managed eventually to hear from Carl Lomax in their customer services, got an apology and he said ne would use a different courier, not Hermes but UK mail and would the goods would be delivered the next day, still nothing and Carl sent a message saying he doesn't know why and would give us a full refund, yet to be received, and stated that if the tiles did arrive we could keep them. Yesterday (20/2/19) a package was delivered by Hermes, it was 1 pack of mirror tiles with 1 tile broken, today another packaged arrived with the rest of the order, there was no packing to keep the tiles safe, needless to say every one was broken. I will attempt to get a response Dunelm but going on past attempts I will not hold my breath. I see on this site there was a similar experience on the 14/1/19
