I purchased 2 items from their website, which appear to have been fulfilled by a third party supplier. I decided to return them, as they did not suite my needs. Because they were fulfilled by a third party, I cannot return them to a local branch. That's ok. So I followed their returns procedures regarding "Items delivered direct from the supplier" on their website. All I have done in the last 2 weeks it bounce between Toolstation and the Supplier, waiting for the items to be collect and refunded. Why is it up to me to get these 2 companies to talk to one another to arrange a collection and refund? I'm sure they'll remember to charge me for my items to be returned after all this. Currently, I am still waiting to hear back from someone.

To start with I would call it a rasict branch as the insulting treatment they give, only hurts you and do not make you feel inclusive. Its all clear when you see branch manager misbehaving and refusing to tell his name which he I believe is my right to know. He refused to serve me and walked away which was very ride. I request ToolStation to please see CCTV footage so correct this un professional behaviour. Not only this the staff joke around each other in very awkward way instead of serving customer. The branch manage may have affair with one of his staff as you can clearly see the way they talk and ignore customers. I know it may be their personal matter but they need to be professional and not make ustomers feel awkward. I asked his colleague to tell me his name and he also refused on which I asked if I can speak to someone. He referred me to Customer Services as that is the only card they all have to play. I politely askedhis name and he also refused to tell his name, I assume they should be wearing name badge which they weren't. May be "Rhys W" who served me forgot that in recipient operator's name is stated anyway so there is no way they should be refusing to tell names. They all try to corner you by grouping so I feel terrified and embarrassed to go this store, i faced same attitude and behaviour on 3 visits and I won't be going to that store ever. If Toolstation care for their customers they should change the staff or atleast change the branch manager as he doesn't deserve to be the manager as he is demosntratinh wrong behaviour and attitude. Please see CCTV footage for 27th October at 2:10 pm. I have attached receipt as well as need to make it gets investigated and to make sure that no one else get treated like this. I ignored last 2 incidents but it gor wrose and worse so now I had no other option but to add a review. Shame on racist branch manager and the way he is training his staff.

Awful company on so many levels! Cheap products that don't last very long, break laws on lack of breaks for staff and 1 hour wait times when calling Customer Service. Screwfix is a lot better!

Let down AGAIN by toolstation. Ordered Wednesday 6.30, its now Thursday, no parcel, no text or meagre from a delivery drive. When I got hold of them they said they had a problem. Customer services was rubbish and no real explanation of meaningful apology given. Go somewhere else

Thought I'd try the new Huntingdon store. Only thing they had in stock was staff with a "dont give a fcuk" attitude. I'll stick to Screwfix.

2nd time now within the space of a few weeks that an order has been placed and fails to be delivered despite enhanced before 12 additional shipping fee. Previous order was also missing items and damaged. Forget about this bunch - cheaper and more efficient options out there.

Next day delivery advertised Order placed and paid for air conditioner on 10th May 2022. £320. Toolstation claimed the order was on its way. No delivery. Repeated emails unanswered. Long wait to speak with customer service, who promised a call back. None received. Order cancelled. The worst online service I have ever experienced.

Absolute rubbish. Ordered some screws online, received text message to say they were ready to collect, turned up at Toolstation only to be told they were out of stock! How can this happen? Won't be able to trust Toolstation in future.

Ordered product an hour before their next day delivery cut off but next day told it wasnt processed in time so had to make arrangements for next day. Their excuse 'it was a large item'. But website dosent differentiate size of product just says order by 6pm for next day. Customer service made it clear they couldnt care less. NEVER again, stear clear and use a professional company.

If I could give 0 starts I would. Made an online order which didn't go though with an error saying please try again, however money was debited yo card. No order number received or email received of confirmation. When going to store on Hall Road they said I had not got an order number so no purchase. Even though clearly my bank has been charged for an online purchase... I showed this and they said it must be pending, but no it has been spent and days later still not refunded. I contacted customer service who said that I need a order number to prove my purchase. I do not have this because my purchase was apparently voided and there was an error... but not enough of an error for you not to take my money and my bank has proof of this. After much emailing they have said thay have been having online websites issues and as I cannot prove that I made this purchase without an order number and I will have to contact my bank. Again I have no order number because your website had a malfunction. You have my money and I habe no items! I want my refund or my item. You are a big company! What is wrong with you?!

I ordered 4 items, the first one was supposed to arrive on Saturday, but the courier delivered it to the wrong person, he didn't even leave a note with the address. I myself had to look for orders from my neighbors and call the courier and Toolstation. I had to go to pick up my order at the store. There were supposed to be two items. There was only one and I was ordered to go to the courier's office. The courier said the toolstation did not ship the second item at all. I had to cancel the radiator installation, the fine was £ 100. When the radiators were delivered and the plumber installed them, it turned out that they sent me cheaper and smaller radiators. Another attempt to deceive the customer! I could not postpone the installation in the schedule and once again pay fines and for delay in work on the renovation of the house. The brazen assistant from the toolstation said that I can come to the stationary store myself and replace the radiators with the ones I ordered. Shameless thieves have no respect for the client, time or money. I had to put on the radiators they sent because the old ones were already disconnected and I couldn't move the schedule of other works. This delayed the renovation of the flat for rent.! In addition, the plumber said that these radiators are too small to heat the room in winter and we will have to replace them anyway. Toolstation was so brilliant that it offered to pay for the difference in the cost of the radiators. They did not even mention the loss of the 15-year warranty. Apparently they felt no responsibility for it. They want to give me some pennies for 2 weeks of stress, paying penalties for canceling the installation, searching the whole area of ​​my order and writing to them every day because with every item they sent there were problems! I would advise you to avoid these incompetent people

I bought a brand-new drill from tool stations ebay site and it failed after 7 weeks and I now find they have a 30 day return limit. my only option is to ask einhall to repair it, but they seem to have a list of get outs as long as your arm. DO NOT BUY DRILLS ETC FROM TOOLSTATIONS EBAY SITE. they seem to think referring you to einhall is a satisfactory solution

Toolststion, Placed an order online on the 4th March, just checked online today 10th March to see when the goods will be delivered only to find they apparently have been delivered?? But not delivered at my address only to find the goods were returned to tootstation damaged, no email saying advising this to me the costumer!! The company is an absolute joke, never buy form this company, Screwfix is a much better well managed larger company, toolststion think uts acceptable to keep you waiting on the phone 12 min to speak to a human.
