Tradesmen fobbed off, toolstation Bellshill is the worst culprit. Went in to pick up click and collect order, staff ignore line of proffesionals waiting to pick up orders, walk past us and they spent 15 mins on Joe public looking through catalogues and googling, happens a lot of time, no priority for there own fast service, never again, went to screwfix and served very quickly despite many more customers.

Keep cancelling delivery. I would advise anyone to source an alternative company. All you get is fobbed off then an offer of vouchers against next purchase. My god after this do you think there will be a next time. As a tradesperson spending a lot of money with them. I hope they are content in losing future trade from me and all those that I am in a position to recommend companies to

Placed an order then found out i had been charged by Paypal twice. Contacted Toolstation and they basically washed their hands of it and said i had to claim through my Bank. Terrible customer service and now have to fight to get my money back. Buyers beware

Ordered a torch, never collected it because I realised mine only needed to have the rechargeable battery only so didn't need to buy the whole torch. Rang customer service twice a week apart to cancel and was promised a refund but nearly 30 days now and still no refund. I will be asking my bank for a charge back or take them to small claims court.

What's your home address? I just want to buy the spanner please. What's your home address? What? We can't sell you a spanner for VAT reasons without having your home address sir! What? I just brought a sandwich whilst in Sainsburys and a USB pen at PCWorld but they didn't need my home address so are they acting illegally? Well we can only authorize a purchase with your home address or we have to go and get a manager to create an over ride code! We don't use if for marketing or alike! OK then what do you need it for then... You know what mate... Keep the spanner and I'll stay off of your pathetic mailshot campaigns (because why would you need my address if you are never going to use it you plonker!)

For 2 months I have been chasing a refund for an item that was never delivered. All head office (who are unreachable but phone) and store staff can say is “we can’t do anything because it’s showing as being refunded. I have not received the refund so it looks like I will pay £70 for nothing. Don’t use internet service it very poor with no customer service back up. Staff must still be working from home due to vivid measures???

I've been into the Diss branch twice now. Had to wait quite a while to get served even though there was only one other customer in there. When I did get served it took ages for them to process four items! On the second visit I was charged for a box of screws I didn't have. Didn't notice this until i got home and put my glasses on (very small feint print). Had to drive back to get a refund, 3/4 hr round trip + fuel! I will perhaps stay with screwfix.

Bought 2 packs of reed screen today when I took one out of the package most of it fell apart I should of took it back straight away but I was eager to finish a job I had started and I thought maybe I would try to paint it to see how it looked I used dark oak shed paint which I also purchased from here but even after painting it still looks cheap and nasty I'm really disappointed with the quality its really bad the worst I ever bought but as I've painted it it's to late to to return one pack but I will be returning the unused pack I would definitely not recommend buying this item

Terrible experience. I placed an order for some Wessex LED GU10 bulbs online (14/09/21). After placing the order, a message appeared on the screen "The order was not valid please try again". So I did and I obtained the same message. However, I then received a text notification from my bank for 2 separate payments taken by toolstation for the 2 purchases (£5.98 x2) but I didn't receive any confirmation email. Why was the money taken? I immediately went into the toolstation store in Huddersfield and notified Vicky the manager and showed her my banking app and evidence of the 2 payments. She called customer services and they stated I would recieve a refund after 2 days, she wrote this on the back of my receipt for the bulbs I then purchased instore. 1 week later I have recieved nothing. I went back into store today and the store assistant called customer service again and I was once again fobbed off. I just want my money back!!! Why should a customer have to chase after their stolen money??? Sort it out toolstation!!! You're the ones who had a system problem on the day of my purchase. GIVE ME MY REFUND.

Awful customer service from Simon the Director! Was at a Toolstation the other week and was served by Simon the Director. He said he was helping teach the other staff in branch when we spoke. He got my order wrong, wasn't wearing a mask and was spitting a lot when talking, had ketchup or blood on his tie & was swearing at other staff. I was shocked! I walked straight out and went to Screwfix. The item was cheaper and the service was amazing. Seems like Toolstation isn't a great place to buy or work. Avoid! Thanks. Billy Hawkins

Wrong item sent. 30 minute wait on phone. 3 day wait for email response. Tweeted and response within few minutes asking for order number and address. Sent order number, response we do not recognise that order number. Sent photo of invoice and they found it and did arrange for right item to be sent. Why are they only efficient when posted on a social media site that can be seen by anybody. They then asked me for a review, received a response that it did not meet their guidelines and so unable to post. Their customer service is terrible and lots of items are not in stock. Used to be a good company but have sadly gone downhill recently.

Appalling, ignorant, obnoxious, rude and awkward staff at the Boston branch with perhaps one exception. Deliberately refused a refund on an unused/unopened item as the 'manager' didn't like my face with the excuse that they don't take items back if they're unwanted so quoted the UK Consumer law to her then she decided they didn't have any cash! Kept me standing there 40 mins even though I explained I'm disabled with knee problems just to satisfy some sadistic quirk she has. The nicest thing to say about their 'friendly and helpful staff' is that they are the most horrible and repulsive people I've ever had the misfortune to encounter.

Really bad experience. I made on order online, got e text message saying it’s ready for collection and when I went to collected they said they only have one. Time consuming. Unhappy builder.

Ordered materials for a job on Friday 23rd June and paid the extra for Saturday AM delivery, it’s now the 27th June and no sign of any materials. Don’t waste your time or money with this company your better of going to a reputable company if you want good service

The guy at the counter was not helpful at the bradford station. He was very rude and not helpful and kept referring me to the catalogue and said I'm busy and can't help every customer. I would never go back there again or recommend it anyone. The service at screwfix is much better.
