“PLEASE DO NOT USE! Scam! I stupidly thought it was good old Wilko! First time this has happened to me, and using my card to get money back, will be reporting also! No option for no stars! I thought it's Wilko,horray! Never thought to check reviews, I wish I did, if you not used yet, then don't! Everyone pass on all these warnings! Not just on here, but other review sites, and social media. Please do not listen to positive reviews! This is for old REAL Wilko, when it was BRITISH! Or lucky few, It's now a scam! If you are lucky you will receive goods, BUT! This is seriously important! There is no customer service! No replies, phone numbers, emails anywhere, not even social media. You will not get money back, if items do not arrive, faulty, missing, or in general not want, or are misleading. It offers WhatsApp to chat, but it's non existent. Fake! It tells you, you don't have WhatsApp, even though you do& directs you to download, but you can't as already have WhatsApp. So only option is to raise a ticket,72 hours it claims, for response, but this isn't a real thing. No one replies ever! Been weeks. Facebook, Twitter same, if you lucky they will send you reply to your notification, the same generic thing! "Sorry to hear this, send a ticket, or DPM" scam, fake! They will also ignore your Dpm, and if they do reply it's ages in between messages, and a generic response, "sorry to hear, let me know what all problem, items are etc"despite already given the information& repeat. Like countless others,I have had to contact my payment card who has raised this. They agreed with me returning through the manufacture, I was scared no goods no money. It was manufacturer items I needed to return,I contacted them directly(prob not first). They collected and messaged Wilko to refund, but I have had 2 repeat messages from wilko." waiting for items to be returned(they have last week)) and what are the items you need refunded for! I'm now at contacting my card again, they told me to allow 3 days for refund, is been longer, with no notifications from wilko. I have never needed to use my card before to claw back money. I have never been frauded, scammed before.I stupidly thought it's Wilko, didn't even check reviews! Wish I did, you need to listen to these warnings!! I will also like countless other customers, be reporting this to trading standards, watchdog etc. Do not use!! I Finally got my refund month+later, and no-one let me know. I don't know if it was the credit card that got it back, or Wilko. But it was a severly stressful situation, and the manufacture helped me to get my money, they were the only ones that actually communicated with me. Wilko do do not communicate they are not Wilko anymore, you can email to your heart's content. You can social media contact to your heart's content, but it will lead you no where. Date of experience: 01 December 2023”

“If I could give stars in minus figures, I would. When their order system glitched mid processing, this resulted in no order number being produced, and no confirmation email being sent. They were, however, able to take full payment for the item. After multiple attempts to contact them, the eventual first reply was reassuring. They asked for proof of bank transaction, which we happily provided. Two or three more emails over an extended time has resulted in them advising us to dispute the payment via our bank. More paperwork and time wasted for us, no effort or care from them. It feels as if they stole the money. I’m still not entirely convinced that their new website is legitimate. It feels exactly as it would if you had mistakenly bought from one of the scam sites. My advice would be to run for the hills if you’re even thinking of purchasing from them. Just despicable.”

“Emailed twice to get them to collect damaged goods. Well over the 72 hours at 14 days. I am going to claim back via credit card. Essentially a household brand seems to have turned into a dodgy online retailer and maybe they will never reply. Almost seems akin to a scam”

“Twice I have ordered items online which have then been cancelled. I then have to wait an age before I get a refund and am able to order somewhere else. They shouldn't be accepting orders if they are unable to fulfil them. I could have got the same item for the same price elsewhere. By the time Wilko cancelled my order, the item was sold out everywhere else.”

“I wish I had checked Wilko out before purchasing online. Ordered one item, got billed twice via klarna. Immediately contacted klarna who instructed to contact wilko directly. It’s been over a month and yet no resolution, no customer service support to call, none of them understand the problem let alone how to solve it. And seeing all this review, now I understand. I will be contacting BBC rip off team to assist me get my money back. In this cost of living crisis, they shouldn’t be ripping people off. Only one item received but trying to take payment twice for one item delivered, how unreasonable and con artist like is this? I cannot believe companies are allowed to rip people off in this manner and no one is batting an eyelid? Do anyone know how to contact consumer protection services to look into all our complaints?”

“I would give zero stars if I could. Paid for a garden sofa set which they then failed to deliver. After a week of messing me around they claimed it had been delivered to a house 8 houses away on a day I was in and have proof via ring doorbell that they didn’t even attempt to deliver to me. The house they claim to have delivered to has denied it. They have no photographic proof, have refused to answer why they think it’s acceptable to deliver to a complete stranger and have refused a refund. I am out of pocket with no item. Avoid!!! Con artists and non existent customer care. I had a problem with parent company The Range last year and wish I’d know my before ordering from Wilko that they were part of the range. Appalling company and they don’t deserve to be in business.”

“I ordered 5 rolls of wallpaper in January when the parcel arrived there was only 3 in the box and 1 of them was damaged, over the next 9 weeks I sent 19 emails to them and had 15 emails from wilko apologising and saying they would get in touch with there suppliers. My decoder came and went and could only put 2 rolls up, this week 2 rolls arrived but still no replacement for the damaged one, there’s no phone number you can get in touch with anyone just email. When wilko was on the high street I spent quite a lot of money buying different things from them I think I have been treated very badly over 3 rolls of wallpaper but I for one will never buy anything from them again”

“If I can give 0 stars I will . Ordered an item on 18/04/24 and still waiting for a dispatch email 10 days later on which my delivery was meant to be. A number of emails and WhatsApp messages and no reply. The worst company to deal with! I’m definitely not buying anything from WILKO Ever Again .”

“I bought a breakfast bar which was so small so I requested to return it nearly 3 weeks ago now. After numerous attempts to contact them I have still not been able to make a return. So disappointing and I will never buy from Wilko again.”

“Over 140 quid order packed so badly everything was covered in strong cleaning fluid. Absolute mess. All over my house, items ruined! And a missing item. Over a week, no response to my email. I’m absolutely furious. I can see me ending up doing a cash back request with my bank. To have cleaning fluids everywhere and having this stuff stinking in my house is diabolical. Disgusting service. Avoid like the plague. Absolutely no regard for customers. When I emailed to say I didn’t know if my order went through got a quick response, now there is a problem they have gone silent. It seems very deliberate. 3 bottle of fluid leaked. Not 1, 3! Absolute joke. I’ve put over a week to respond in the box but they haven’t given an option for not responded at all! As they haven’t!!!! Also won’t let me upload photos!”

“I ordered a product online and it was not what I expected, so have been trying to return the item for 4 weeks now. I have sent multiple emails and they have still not arranged collection or provided me with a refund. It’s the worst service I’ve ever received - I thought wilko was a reputable company to order from and I wish I’d never bothered!! Avoid!”

“Wilko on line delivered wrong item 2.5 ltrs instead of 5ltrs of paint as ordered they have charged me for a 5 ltr can. - no telephone number to talk to anyone. Told via automated reply only way to get refund is take back to a store - nearest one an hour away. THATS WHY I ORDERED ON LINE. ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS WHAT I PAID FOR. - NO CUSTOMER SERVICE”

“Absolutely shocking experience all round ordered 5 items recieved 3 items. 1 was a wrong order which I wanted to return but can’t get no return labels as they won’t answer when I ask! I’m missing 2 items worth £105.99 which is taking them forever to track or refund. I ended up ringing my bank who gave me a refund until Wilko decide to give me some kind of update on the missing items. Sorry but I’m not being at a loss through this awful company.”
