“Very rude Irish man”

Posted 4 years ago

“I ordered a cooker paid cash for next day delivery as advertised on the item. Waited in all day for delivery, no phone call or delivery. This continued for the following two days, third day I visited the shop where I purchased this from in Yate, I was rudely informed that i was unable to receive a refund as 'there was only £40 in the till.' I then asked for the contact details for the main office- only to be told to 'look on the website,' ! I contacted the main office and waited a further two days and tried to make contact once more. I was informed that my cooker will arrive on Monday- 9 days after ordering an item that stated ' Next Day Delivery' !!!! never again !!!!”

“Terrible service! Ordered as kitchen sink and was told again and again that it was en route each day for 4 days. Plumbers had been and gone so we had to buy elsewhere. Ironically on the day we cancelled it was apparently stuck in a lorry in snow in Scotland meaning all the other promises were an obvious lie! 4-5 days to get our money back so now we have to shell out for another.”

“Why when I do a Click and Collect order from the Newark Branch , does the system change the collection point to Mansfield Branch? And will not let me change the collection branch. If it were possible I would have raised this privately, but I have no intention of running up a twenty minute phone charge, while I wait for you to answer.”

“Paid £400 for a dewalt drill kit, which was faulty. Went to Rotherham toolstation, the manger was very ignorant raciest a very bad lady to speak to. Been shopping at Rotherham branch since it was open. Paid for a new kit and got a second hand kit back. First time had a faulty item, not happy with after service, am thinking taking this matter further.”

“Thursday 29th Oct. 2020, I visited Toolstation, Kidderminster, Worcester Road, to purchase an Ebb + Flo Kitchen Mixer Tap £39.98 and two valves. I used a £5 Money Off Voucher. I was served by the Assistant Manager who I gave all the item details on a piece of paper. I was disappointed when he said that they had no stock and explained that I had just checked on my computer and that this branch has 4 listed? He said they would have one for me tomorrow and so I paid and left. I was a little annoyed when I returned today, Friday 29th Oct. 2020, to find they had requested the wrong tap? In fact the assistant said the tap that I wanted was in stock and that they have 4? Not impressed. I had decided that I needed a Lever ball Valve £5.88 (34448) and handed over a slip of paper again with all the details. I nearly paid when I noticed that I was being charged £10.88 for a valve listed at £5.88? Not impressed. Now the Manageress is involved. She said 'The System' will not let me buy it at the listed price??? 'Computer Say No' I must have been there 30 minutes arguing with the Manageress that this is 'Crazy! I even said I would walk back in the shop again with the order and call myself 'Bill Smith' but she said she will still charge me £10.88!!! I said to her what if I return tomorrow? She said she will still charge me £10.88!!! I thought this cannot be real. Then she suggested that I pay another additional £5 for the tap i.e. yesterdays order and then I can have the valve for the listed catalog price of £5.88?? On the verge of loosing my temper I said 'Forget it I'll buy from SCREWFIX!' Which I did. Same valve, 3p cheaper. I am a pensioner in the 'clinically vulnerable' group and because of this I have been in 'Self Isolation' for months. The last thing I needed was a stressful, ridiculous situation like this and one that puts me in a 'Risk environment' longer than necessary. Perhaps your staff could do with some re-training?”

“Ordered on Sunday for next business day delivery now 5 o’clock on Wednesday and still no order has arrived the courier Hermes has not updated the delivery details. Now I’m faced with a 20 minute wait on the phone to try and speak to someone at tool station, absolutely appalling Screwfix and Amazon will be getting my business from now on. Wait time is now up to 26 minutes!!”

“laced an online order and paid for my items on collecting the goods from my local branch I was informed that one of my items was not on my order so wasn't provided. On checking my account the item is clearly there and paid for. this is not the first time I have had suspicions of dodgy dealing going on at this branch. Reported the matter to Toolstation customer services to date no reply. The bottom line Toolstation have been paid for goods they have not supplied, there customer service so far is non existent. I would therefore be extremely weary about using this company in the future.”

“Really bad attitude from male member of staff today 21st September 2020, felt more like he wanted to fight me than serve me. Lady in there was very pleasant as usual. No need for it mate, if you're in a bad mood don't take it out on your customers, I won't be returning, I'll go to Screwfix instead where male staff are much more pleasant and professional. Shopped here for years, such a shame.”

“"Where's your mask" barked the officious Exeter assistant- who wasn't wearing one. My reply should have been "where is yours, asshole?"”
