This is the second order that has gone wrong. Number 1, I ordered Two sets of curtains and paid for next day express delivery. I waited and waited but no show. I contacted Dunhelm customer services who after doing some searching told me my order had been suspended?!!! The money had been taken out of my account so why? I did get that order refunded and went to the store to purchase my curtains. Number 2, ok so I had a bad shopping experience but anyone can make a mistake so yesterday i ordered another set of curtains, this time for my lounge. Again I paid for next day EXPRESS delivery, that's a joke in its self. So I was up at 7am on my day off and I've waited and waited, again it's a no show, I contacted Dunhelm customer services a couple of times, chocolate teapot comes to mind!! So I contacted Hermes as I have a tracking number, they tell me my curtains are still with the retailer, I contacted customer services again spoke the a nice guy called Martin who told me Hermes have my curtains?!! Martin suggested if they don't turn up by 1 pm tomorrow to contact them again. I will have spent my Two days off chasing an order that should have been delivered today. Why can Next,Argos,Debenhams,John Lewis to name just a few get it right but Dunhelm can't.? I'm really frustrated and worried now that they might just rock up on Thursday when I'm in work!! No communication from Dunhelm at all, no email or txt telling me there's a problem, or expected delivery, nothing, a complete waste of time. I suppose it's serves me right for giving them a second chance!! 😡

Ordered a single mattress for my 98 year old grandma so she can get home after hospital stay.. had email and phone call to tell me item had been dispatched night before. Day of delivery had email and text to say I will get a call one hour before delivery. 1pm a text saying can’t deliver item... phoned them and lost the plot . Terrible customer service phoned citizens advice and they had broke cusumer laws but still no help getting mattress for 98 year old who needed it. Cancelled order and got one from somewhere else , never been so angry 😡 will never order from them again

I just have to let you know that all the staff at the Hatfield Road stAlbans store are so lovely. I have been going there for years and have bought lots of items there. Last time I went there one of the roads leading to your store was closed one way. You could go up but couldn't go down. That was me lost !!! While I was in the store I thought I would ask a member of staff an alternative way. He could not have been more helpful. He got a map up on his computer to show me. Not only that he printed it out. What a lovely lovely man. His name was Dominic, hope I have spelt that right as he needs recognition for his brilliant customer service. Thank you again Dominic and thank you Dunelm's for your brilliant staff.

Had a problem with lost bed parts ( due to a house move!). Had some problems actually getting through to customer services. However once I was able to talk to someone the problem was solved quickly and efficiently

Let me tell you a timeline of events... Sunday 21st October: Order a bed to be delivered on Wednesday, so I can put it together ready for the weekend Wednesday 24th October: Said bed arrives, broken. I call Dunelm, they tell me they won’t re-deliver a replacement until after the weekend. Don’t let me get a word in edgeways, refuse to let me speak to a manager or give me anyone’s names. In the end they agree to get someone to call me back the next day to amend the situation (the guy I’m speaking to said his hands are tied as he’s off on his holidays tomorrow - GOOD FOR YOU PAL!) Thursday 25th October: No phone call.... Friday 26th October: I call them. They tell me the bed is coming on Saturday. EXCUSE ME? I’m now not in on Saturday and no one bothered to contact me and tell me this. What if they’d actually tried to deliver? After lots of arguing, I give in to letting them deliver on Monday, even though I NEEDED the bed for the weekend. Monday 29th October: Wait in all day. Replacement bed arrives. BROKEN. AGAIN. Call to Dunelm. Apparently they won’t send me another bed until NEXT WEEK. Argue argue argue argue, they agree to redelivery on Friday, and will text with a delivery slot on Thursday. Thursday 1st November: No text or call with update from Dunelm regarding delivery tomorrow. I call them at 7pm, they tell me my bed isn’t coming until Monday 5th. When were they planning on bothering to tell me? I was planning to take the day off work AGAIN tomorrow to wait in for the delivery. Person assures me this is so the replacement can go through a proper quality check to ensure no damage to the bed and the box won’t be damaged. Friday 2nd November morning: Delivery company contact me. Apparently they want to collect my broken bed. Excuse me, this is news to me as I’m at work, and my next bed isn’t coming til Monday?! Friday 2nd November evening: I get a text and email from the courier with a delivery date of TUESDAY 6th?!?!?!?!?!?! Phone call to Dunelm - I’m now waiting on a call back from them tomorrow (which will probably never happen). And I will probably never get my sodding bed. Very fitting this happened over the Halloween period because this is the worst shopping horror story I’ve ever experienced. Incompetent, useless staff who have been trained only to say ‘I understand how you feel’ but don’t let you get a word in edgeways or actually have any ounce of empathy at all or any drive or actual clue how to solve a problem they’ve created. Goodbye money, goodbye bed, goodbye a once very keen Dunelm customer. This company is nothing but a shambles and a SCAM!

DO NOT ORDER ITEMS ONLINE WITH DUNELM!!! If they are faulty it's so painful trying to return/replace them. I ordered 2 drawerer units online only to have the delivered to me in broken pieces. After several phonecalls and waiting for over 2 weeks for someone to pick the items up I am still stuck with the drawers despite the fact that Dunelm confirmed pick up dates. Phoned again today and the customer service rep I spoke to was awful and told me I have no choice but to keep waiting for the courier service to pick items up. Finally after demanding to speak to his supervisor my money has bern returned. Customer Service rep was extremely rude and unhelpful. Will not buy online from Dunelm again.

Made to measure curtains faulty. Refused refund. Complained on another site about appalling customer service at Lincoln store. Only response to ask which store, clearly didn't read the review and received standard reply with no resolution

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE BECKTON STORE STAY AWAY!!! 0N 20/10/2018 Spend thousands of pounds in the store over the years - lost my custom for GOOD FOR ONLY £10!!! I brought a mirror for £25 and when I opened it, it was damaged so I went back after 2 weeks after moving houses and had the receipt which I believe its 28days standard return polices applies so I took my time knowing im in that time frame - to my shook the team leader apparently…. Name: ( Sabeya ) which she has no say or POWER to do anything or say in matters lol said ok but pay £10 more as its gone up now! I stated its broken and damaged it’s not my fault why should I pay extra for now? - im not asking for a refund or exchange with something different it’s like for like exchange - worked in retail for 10yrs never heard of this as it’s a simple return exchange for same product she was really rude and didn’t want to listen so then had to bring out the so called assistant manager…. Name ( Tye )hiding at the back of the store office and he came out and said its gone up I can’t do nothing about this the tone and voice he said in was truly shocking what service is this ???? he didn’t seem bothered or showed no empathy at all , I knew he was in a rush to go back to his office and sit and have his coffee, so I phoned customer service on the phone as I had no faith in these 2 so called stuff members and found Morah on the phone 10x more helpful and listen !!! to what I said and she simple said its manager discretion he can do if he wants to and she see why not for £10, so I said to the lady to tell him that so she went back to the office and came so fast and said he said no – I didn’t want to waste anytime more time and just paid £10 to my disgust and wanted to get out from there asap there was no sorry by both off the members should not be in customer service if you don’t have any !!! this was the Beckon store stay away I go any other store would get treated badly !!!!

The online ordering did not work correctly. Telephone to an agent was slow to answer, then after raising an account could not order and put through to another team, they said the made to measure ordering system was not working. In store the blind could be ordered at 3 times the online price, said a different contractor made them? Tried a few times before able to order on line. Blind delivered and it is under size by a few cms. Raised a contact request to speak to me, no response yet. Do not think Dunelm are a quality retailer!

Good Morning Suzanne Thank you for leaving your feedback with us. It is indeed regrettable to read that you have only received part of your order. I can appreciate just how frustrating this is when you are having to chase the whereabouts of your order instead of us contacting you to see if you are happy to wait the allotted timescale. This certainly is not acceptable and isn't the level of service we wish to be providing to any of our customers. To assist you further, I have sent a private message to you. Kind regards Stuart.

We have visited Dunelm Telford today with a complaint about some lamp shades bought 3 weeks ago. We had the most magnificent young lady serve us. She went above and beyond to sort out our problem. Unlike the Wolverhampton Store where they were totally unhelpful. We would advise everyone to travel to Telford Dunelm where the customer is respected.

Ordered item via Topcashback. Tracked fine, but was declined. No explanation given for cancellation so raised a claim. Declined again as apparently item was not collected or it was refunded! How can they not know? Followed up on twitter to be told item is still showing as not collected and that they can't change it and therefore cannot help. Ridiculous excuse. Avoid.

Hello. Thank you for leaving your review with us today. Sadly we are a separate company from Topcashback. If you have an outstanding issue with them I would suggest speaking to them directly. Here at Dunelm we can assist with anything relating to your order itself and not regarding cash back claims. Kind regards Stuart,

Hi I ordered a pair of curtains and a rug together on Friday 19 October. The curtains arrived on Monday 22 October. Happy about the delivery time. No idea when the rug will arrive... no information has been forthcoming.

Good Afternoon Jackie Thank you for leaving your review with us. I am so sorry to hear that you haven't received your rug as yet. I appreciate just how frustrating this is when you are having to chase the whereabouts of your order instead of us contacting you to see if you are happy to wait the allotted timescale. This certainly is not acceptable and isn't the level of service we wish to be providing to any of our loyal customers I have sent a private message to you requesting further information.

Completely stupid, sent wrong sofa, didn’t realise until unpacked put it together. Spoke to. A lady called Lorraine Barbour who made me email pictures, never set up a delivery date, didn’t really understand what she had done so called again, spoke to a man called marco, he arranged delivery, again had to wait 5 days for it, your customer service attitude stinks, your very rude, and very unhelpful, I paid 760 pounds for a sofa and received a 500 pound one, had to take the day off work, and will have to take another one for the new delivery. For a massive company it’s discracfiul and you really need to fix up your customer service. I was told no compensation was offered and that was the end of convo. I have the cos email address, and will be getting in contact ASAP because of your Appaling service and most of all awful customer service and attitude!!!!!!

Blackpool dunelm BARRY in charge of the rugs was so helpful . Although the rugs we wanted to look at were large he took them down so we could see them on the floor , we laughed and oh my what a lovely person not one moan and because it was not in stock he said it should be in on next delivery and he would ring as soon as in which he did , it now sits on my lounge floor . Thank you Barry keep up your customer skills can't fault you .
