“Visited Ealing Broadway branch today to enquire whether they sold "Rubbing Alcohol" as wanted to use it to de-ice my driveway. Was told that they don't sell it as its "Alcohol." I said that I had seen people using it on internet with washing up liquid to de-ice driveways and that they seemed to sell it in USA. Was told "they sell a lot of things in USA but you won't get it here as its ALCOHOL." Made me feel like he thought I was some idiot who was going to drink it. Rude and also wrong information. For those reading, when I returned home I went online and found that you can buy "Rubbing Alcohol" from Tescos, Superdrug and many other stores online. It is used as a disinfectant and many other good uses. Oh, and you don't drink it!”
“I have needed a new larger ironing board for ages and could not find the right one. This one fitted the bill and I am delighted with it. Their delivery and service was excellent, keeping me informed the whole time.”
“Attentive staff who made an effort to understand my reason for shopping at Robert Dyas. They checked with me that I had selected the correct product from the shelves as the packaging was technical and easily misleading. Polite and helpful.”
“I am very disappointed with Robert Dyas online customer service. I have ordered a simple thermos costing 18 pounds to be delivered to a local store in Earls Court and collected from the pick up point. Robert Dyas had the audacity to take the money from my account and then deem me as being a high credit risk. I have waited for a confirmation email for over 3 weeks, which is ridiculous. I have contacted the customers service only to find a person that was blatantly rude and requested a confirmation ID from myself. The person did not resolve the issue and I have still not received the product, while my money is still with Robert Dyas. I wanted to buy this as a Christmas present, which makes the experience even more painful. I will only be satisfied with a huge discount on the product or I just want my money back and never have to deal with Robert Dyas ever again. As a business it is one of the most shambolic experiences I have ever had. I will also leave negative reviews online as this is definitely not how you treat customers! Worst experience than in a 3rd world country! My order number was 101154196, if anyone still cares. Totally unprofessional!”
“Item Has Taken 10 Days And Still Not Arrived!!! Only One Email From Them After I Have Queried It And Wanting Additional Proof Of My Address Wishing I Just Ordered From Another Site Its Going To Mess Up My Kitchen Getting Fitted 10 Days Later And Item Not Even Dispatched But The £159 Left My Account The Next Day Is Simply Not Good Enough.”
“I am very pleased with the door lock system and it was very easy to order. It is also very good value and the delivery cost is very reasonable. I have used this company before and will be more than happy to use them again.”
“Today I purchased a Swan coffee maker. That was due to the very helpful & pleasant assistant that came to me whilst I was looking for a coffee cone filter (plastic) item. I have returned home and used the Swan coffee maker, I am extremely delighted with the unexpected purchase.”
