It’s not often I have a moan, but I can only say one thing about this Store. I will never enter it again in my life. My reason, I ordered for my wife who I must say is very ill and had been the week in question diagnosed with cancer, as a treat I thought I would order for her a new Bathrobe and a throw for when she has to go for treatment into hospital to make her feel more comfortable. As I was everyday in Hospital visiting her I decided to use the order online and collect within 2 days on the website saves posting and I drive by everyday.. I ordered the 2 articles on a Wednesday and as luck would have it my wife was discharged from hospital on the Friday as we where awaiting further development and treatment so she was in the meantime aloud to come home. I picked her up from Grantham Hospital and as she was dressed in only her pyjamas and dressing gown, she asked if she could have a Big Mac for on the way home, I got this in the drive through and thought as we are here and it’s only across the road I would pop into Dunelm and collect the 2 items I had ordered online on the Wednesday remember it was now Friday. Unfortunately this was the worst shopping experience of my life, I don’t normally get angry or loose my control but this was just horrendous and upsetting, I had my ill wife in the car. I went to the counter told the lady my name and what I was there for only to be told in a disinterested order that it’s been put back on the shelf I’m to late, when I argued the fact that it was only the 2nd day as per the internet order offer, it’s back on the shelves was the answer. Could you then at least help me and let me know where or could someone show me, reply again uninterested over there pointing in a direction of the hundreds of racks and stands. Great I thought, not wanting to give up I did attempt to find what I was looking for always worried about how long I had left my wife alone now, I then asked a younger member of staff who was filling the shelves where I might find the articles, again all I got back was it’s either over there or over there showing both ends of the store. I gave up in the end unfortunately and absolutely frustrated left the store with nothing. I notified the customer service email account and was firstly informed that the store manager from Grantham would soon be in touch, nothing, a week had gone by so I wrote another email only to receive an answer today telling me they will obviously be investigating internally and assure me my issue will be taken onboard to improve there services. Yeah right sure you will. Sorry folks but I’m in retail and can say for sure, The customers who I have the pleasure in dealing with are still king and I would always whatever time of day do my utmost to make sure every customer is fully satisfied with the service provided and if needed be there to rectify any issues. Remember without a customer you are nothing we as customers are your income, lt doesn’t take much. A very dissatisfied ex customer.

Bought the so called super full forgarty pillow and I regret it, my neck and my back are aching. It claims it has form support it doesn’t have any form of support. The pillow is just a day old and I feel like throwing away

I placed an order with Dunelm (first and last) 14 Nov. I was checking my bank account 15 Nov and noticed I had been charged twice. I contacted Dunelm customer services was told they would pass details to I.T and it could take 72hrs if they were busy, when I challenged this I was asked if I was sure that the other payment was not just pending. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told I didn't need to and that he wouldn't come to the phone anyway. I have been told that I need to wait on an e-mail from the I.T department telling me when the payment will be refunded. The advisor said the problem was with the payment gateway and not them. I would urge customers to check their accounts after placing an order as the Dunelm advisor said a double payment would only have been flagged if using PayPal.

Ordered the Little Acorns 'Ava' nursery furniture set at half original price. Money came out then an email that it's no longer in stock. A week later it's still showing in stock so order again, order cancelled no stock and again a third time. The following week it's back up to full double price and suddenly it's in stock. Called to ask if they would honour original order, was told they would be in touch in a couple of days after finding stock in warehouse. No phone call so a week later I call again and there is no record of my enquiry. Customer service manager 'Sam' then offered me the explanation that it was old stock before and now I would be getting new stock but would be willing to give 20% off. False advertising to drum up interest in a product they had no intention of honouring at that price. Fraudulent and unprofessional.

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!
