“Just visited Warrington store and after asking 4 different members of staff for help - 2 replied “not my department” and rudely walked off - 1 “if you cant find it its not in stock” and the other “what dya want as its self service” and again walked off! never visited a bnq store where no-one wanted to help what do ever. As a business owner i would be ashamed to employ staff with such rude manners snd lack of respect.”

“Staff sooo rude at the Stevenson branch, from the door right thro. It's the only shop I go into that you get barked at, ordered to go to the correct position. All other shops are social distancing ect, and your treated politely and not treated like you are an IDIOT! NEVER BE BACK. Get a grip BQ!!”

“When in B&Q Sheffield store yesterday afternoon Thursday, 18th June, my 10 year old touched a cactus in the plant area next to the tills and got both her palms full of tiny needles which were so fine we couldn’t get them out without tweezers. I’ve asked the cashier woman about a first aid kit and she said they don’t have tweezers in it and can’t help. At the point my 10 years old was crying in pain and distress. This is unacceptable and a bad review is just not enough.”

“Terrible customer service in B&Q London Beckton. They overcharge you and no apologies for the mistake. There are no words to describe how disgusting customer service and management is.”

“Order 3 chairs for the garden got an email confirming delivery, no show. Waited a week then rang to enquire. Was informed Stockport warehouse would ring never did. However they turned up to day left stacked chairs plus the table. Just checked chairs one has busted webbing how this ever was allowed to leave Stockport beggars belief. Now awaiting a call to arrange replacement... wonder if you will be ringing me as promised. Should have used ARGOS only my self to blame”

“Horrible experience with online customer service. Have had to call up 5 times to chase a refund for an item meant to be delivered on the 4th of May with still no refund. The last person, Chaudri, provided no information or no solution. Just suggested waiting. When asked to speak to a manager or someone who could fix the situation he gave me a different number to call. It took me straight back to him!! I have also requested 2 call backs from managers with no one contacting me. Really shouldn't have to wait so long for my items to be refunded.”

“Very frustrating experience buying online. Offering free delivery on orders over £350 , but only let you buy a maximum of £346, so they will charge £30 delivery. My order is around £600, so they want me to pay twice the delivery charge. No very happy as no one could help calling customer service”

“I have recently had cause to visit your Redditch Store, I have used it right from its opening, It has always in the past been a good one. However on Saturday 13th June 2020, I needed some paint mixed, I went to the paint section where a B & Q employee was serving, (only looked about 12 years of age) he looked at me popped a number in the phone mumbled something down the phone, turned to me and said someone will be with you in a minute and walked off??, 20 minutes I stood there, In retail you do not walk away from a customer until you are replaced, I understand these are different times but that is no excuse in this case as he had already served a previous customer to a mixed item, I was extremely annoyed at this lack of respect”

“Trying to buy a powerful circular saw the Erbouer 2000w one. Find the one for the job only to fine b and q and Screwfix carmarthen stores don't have it on click and collect or home delivery. They can't do home delivery but I can drive over 50 mile round trip to Swansea to get it in their stores there. Two issues here. One is the covid 19 lockdown and a 5 mile travel limit in wales, the other is the added cost of travel. Neither store is apparently able to arrange transfer of the item to Carmarthen and an email to head office of Screwfix was equally unhelpful. So much for service if you live this end of the M4. To add insult to injury we generally pay more for our fuel in the carmrthen area than elsewhere. B&Q Screwfix I'm impressed. Further to this I have phoned the national help line and they tell me that there is nothing they can do either. So well done b and q. Your service is not as amazing as you telephone answering system would imply. I doubt I will consider looking to you for tools in the future.”

“Purchased a fitted Kitchen at B&Q Hermiston Gait, Scotland in March 2016 costing in excess of £3.500 paid by Card. The handles for the units were £15.00 per pair x 10 pairs = £150 I checked and the polished chrome finished handles stated on the packaging that they were Guaranteed for 10 years. The chrome started to blister on most of the handles and was informed by B&Q that the Guarantee was one year. ultimately I was able to meet a competent Manager at the Store who replaced all the handles. My advice to you is that you hold on to all packaging showing Guarantee, I was spared having to go to Trading Standards or lengthy Litigation. A verbal Guarantee does not hold up with B&Q. I will not trust them in the future.”

“I ordered some decking from B&Q's website, where I was allowed to pick the day for delivery. Assuming this could be trusted, and after receiving email confirmation of the delivery day I went ahead and booked in various tradespeople to work around this date. The day before I had still heard nothing, but just assumed this was how B&Q worked and the delivery would be a standard 9-5 the next day. On the day itself I did get a little concerned and after many attempts finally managed to get hold of someone on the phone - it seems they had delayed my delivery and decided not to inform me of such. I understand delivery delays can happen, especially given the current covid situation, but the lack of communication is unforgivable and has left me seriously out of pocket. I would recommend you look elsewhere for your bulk delivery needs.”

“Crewe store-disgusting creatures work here. Horrible lady works on the carpark, sack this woman. She said under her breath. "Dirty Gits, they are all the same" when refering to an Asian family, they could not understand what the hell she was shouting at them. There is something wrong with this woman. Stay away from this vile racist store.”

“I was in Falkirk branch this morning for click and collect. Staff were so helpful as I missed something out my order my fault. But staff were so helpful, professional, friendly and efficient. Under circumstances of covid I was a bit stressed and causing a bit of panic with my order. The staff helped through the whole process so quickly. Thank B&Q excellent service”
