Where to begin🤔 So many instances of Bad Customer Service. On one occasion it took 3 separate Customer Service personnel to 'Get It Wrong'.😂 I had to continually call them back... 🤔Hand towels ...Not... Tiny, thin and leave fluff attached to your hands or face after several washes... Small, Cheap and Nasty. Next fed up of their Constant ⚠️'BAIT AND SWITCH website scams'⚠️ Getting worse than ever, during the summer got online and ordered quite a few items... Just under £200 pounds worth of goods.... Took me a long time, as their website is useless and slow 🤔 hmn... Yet Another problem. Anyway, went to pay for the items... only to be informed they had NONE, yes *NONE OF THE ITEMS I HAD CHOSEN WHATSOEVER* WTF🤷 Well, I no longer shop there. Dunelm smarten up fgs, (your values are wanting and shameful.)

Absolutely appalling Customer Service. I have lost count on how many times I have tried to get through to the Chelmsford store. I then tried the main Customer Services and gave up after approx a 30 minute hold. Curtains bought are uneven.

No problem with Dunelm store itself, but the Pausa cafe in Sittingbourne is another matter. Went in for a quick lunch this afternoon just toasted sandwich and a cup of coffee. Only about eight people eating in the cafe, It took the assistant at least 10 minutes to deal with one person in front of me. I finally gave my order and then went to a table. After waiting for 20 minutes, I went to ask about my order. It then came to Light that the person dealing with the food had put the order on the side and forgotten about it. The reason I was given was that they were extremely busy, to which my reply was that they didn’t exactly look rushed off their feet. I asked for a refund on the sandwich and it then took another 10 minutes for them to work out how to put the refund back onto my card. They then said again, sorry but we are extremely busy washing up . Definitely not a good experience and will not be returning any time soon.

Bought a mattress from Dunelm and in under 2 years a spring broke and they refused to even discuss a replacement ir a partial refund. Went back and forth for weeks with emails but they've clearly been dealing with complaints for a long time as their blunt and belligerent refusal to help was well-practised. Gave up in the end and will buy from another company. Honestly, I cannot recommend this company and strongly advise all of you to shop elsewhere. It isn't worth the grief dealing with Dunelm.

2x days of promises that you cowboys would deliver. 2x days of waiting around. Still no sign, no communication & no way of finding out where my order / £160 has gone to. I’ve written the money off now & just regret not staying with John Lewis.

I ordered 2 things on line to be picked up in 2 hours I then got a message to say one of the items wasnt available so I ordered something similar again not in stock but when I went to the store today to pick up the other item there was plenty of the other item I wanted 🙃 also picking up my order was chaos you put in a code so they know you are there 15 minutes later I had to ask someone on the till to get my item no organisation this was the Chelmsford store by the way

I bought some RECYCLED POLYESTER curtains for my south facing living room the other day and put them up. Each time I come down in the morning, there is a noxious smell of chemicals which is coming from these curtains. I looked up what they are made of and they are recycled polyester. When I did research on the internet about polyester curtains, I found out they give off things like formaldehyde, benzene, etc. The fact that the curtains are hanging on a window that gets extremely hot during the day when it is very sunny only makes the problem worse. I spent £100 for them and have only had them 5 days now and still the smell that they give off is horrible. I'd like to take them back but it's impossible to get in touch with Dunelm either by internet or phone. I phoned them about 10 times and they are always busy. I feel like crying because they weren't cheap and now they are a threat to health. I'd like someone from Dunelm to get in touch. I will never buy polyester curtains again and would like my money back. PS: Dunelm wrote to me back and told me to take the curtains in to the store to fight my case completely discounting that the curtains could actually give off toxic chemicals and then he told me to "have a great rest of day." Is this the kind of professional response people want to hear from a national company. The customer advisor completely misses the point that heat will cause the recycled polyester curtains to give off a noxious smell. No admitting that it could be true and it would be investigated - just saying "have a great rest of day". This company doesn't even deserve 1 star.

I may have left my bank card in the store when I paid for items earlier today. It is obviously urgent and I have attempted to call the store on numerous occasions over the last one and a half hours . On each attempt the phone rings for some time and then a voice comes in and say that they are busy and to call back later. I have contacted all other stores that I have visited and all answered within a reasonable time, Dunhelm are the last and without doubt, the worst.

The deliver drivers from Barnsley store left extensive damage to my property took pictures apologised and told me to call customer service for reimbursement- customer service refused liability - all directors and CEO have not responded - instigating legal action

Ordered online, paid for delivery of 4 items but 2 went to the store of their choice to be collected. It would be good to know in advance. the website information is misleading the buyer

The issue that I have experienced was: I paid for next day delivery which did not arrive and there was no knowledge or information from either Dunhelm or DHL why! I contacted shockingly poor customer service who refunded my next day delivery cost but would not refund the cost of my order until they received it back from DHL. I was therefore left in a position of not having the money or the order while DHL have one aspect and Dunhelm have the other. Why on earth should I wait on a refund for an order I am not returning (which I accept would be the case if I was returning it myself) but which I have not received. I have been a long time customer of Dunhelm from quite a young age. I will not under any circumstances ever shop with them again either online or in store. Eve

Damaged bed base received a placement 5 days later only to find the replacement damaged, then told they would replace the replacement in another 6 days meanwhile having to sleep on a mattress on the floor, not ideal for someone who is disabled, and then told they can collect in 3 days but can't get a refund for 7 to 10 days I will not be buying from dunhelm again, terrible service beware

On trying to use my gift card online I am being told, 'Sorry we couldn’t process your transaction. Please try again'. So I did, again, and again, and still the above appeared. So I phoned the store, again and again. Guess what...no reply due to the phones being busy, with other unsatisfied customers trying to get through no doubt. It appears that the item I want from Dunelm is only available online, so despite having a gift card I have to pay via my debit card If I want to have this item. Can I then go to the store and have the money for the item deducted from my gift card and put back on my debit card? I doubt it! Dunelm get your act together. WHAT A SHAMBLES!!

Very poor customer service. Purchased 2 hall mirrors checked them in box seemed fine but after putting the mirror on the wall within 5 minutes the mirror glass fell off the frame smashing all over the floor, could have been so dangerous had there been a child near by. Contacted Dunelm for an exchange they refused as it was over 28 days will never shop there ever again. Conveniently for them they won’t allow me to upload a photo of the mirror frame.

Ordered online for delivery and the items were not delivered when expected. I heard no updates and when I followed up they said that they were unable to reorder items as they were out of stock and they could no reorder the same items in a different colour. Very frustrating service. Would not purchase again from Dunelm.

Terrible company. Collude with their landlords to give their own customers parking fines. And will not take on the issue in customers services. Will never shop there again.

Ordered with next day delivery. It's 5 days later and still not arrived. Upon contacting them, they REFUSED to send out new items or anything. They need to 'investigate' the matter with DHL and they need an additional SEVENTY TWO HOURS before they can help or do anything. They do NOT care about customers and I'd advise to not order online from them!

Nothing wrong with Dunelm products, never had to return anything , very happy with many items I have purchased . It is the awful telephone system , at least in the Warrington store . I have been trying to return a call to place a made to measure curtain order for the oast 2 days . No fault of the very helpful lady in the curtain department , she left a message to call her back . I have 6 times! The same answerphone message, after many rings , sorry no-one to take your call , phone again . Really poor, and not good enough Dunelm , really want to purchase the products but may have to look elsewhere .
