“What a nightmare, tried to order online but every time i got to the checkout it said my payment was unable to be authorised. Checked and changed it several times and still no good.Tried to order via phone and was unable to even do that, sent a message via contact us and again nothing, after reading reviews i am extremely lucky it wasn’t processed”

“Worst customer service I have ever come across. Ordered a bed and mattress in store on the Wednesday and got told it would be with me on Tuesday. Keep receiving emails and now it’s been pushed for 3 weeks! Contacted the customer service department and they won’t speak to me and just put the phone down! I would love to know what training staff go through. Management is never available as they are not customer facing! What a joke! Moved Into a property with my daughter and she has no bed or mattress! If I knew this would be my experience, I would of never ordered! Absolute joke! Can’t even speak to anyone to get a refund!”

“I have visited the Range in store and never had any issues. On 30/10 I placed my order with £4.95 delivery for 2/11. My order was supposed to arrive between 18:15-17:15 - at 18:00, I checked for a delivery update and it was back at the depot - with no attempt at delivery. I rescheduled it to be dropped at my local parcel shop (which is a 20 minute drive there and back) for ASAP. It was out for delivery to the parcel shop 28/10, yet it never arrived. I called The Range, got through to an agent (wrong department of course) so I was transferred and on hold for 40 mins, never to be answered - their waiting music is also incredibly jarring! I have never ordered with DHL before, so I didn't realise I would get a follow up email (and their site was down all weekend) so I drove there on Sunday to find it had not been delivered. I was unable to reschedule due the DHL site issues, and on 31/10 it arrived at the parcel shop. I went to collect it 2/11. The condition I received my parcel in was absolutely disgusting - it looks as if the driver had ran it over then kicked it down the road into the store. Despite it saying 'fragile', the box was squashed and had 3 tears, leaving my items exposed. I just went to use one of my items (a potato masher) and it was broken, half attached, so I tried to fix it and the whole mashing plate fell off. I have now been on hold for the last 40 minute and have had no position updates for over 30 mins ,when I was caller 18, from 25. I payed for nominated day delivery to my home, which I did not receive. I wasted both my petrol and my time, driving 40 minutes to collect the parcel. And I have now wasted 80 minutes on hold, with no refund and no resolution. I am truly shocked at how terrible their choice of delivery service and the speed of their customer service is. I expect a refund for at least my postage and useless potato masher, as neither was as described.”

“Bought 2 items from the range but they weren't from the rang they was from the range plus, 1 item arrived which was the wrong item, and the 2nd item was faulty, ur unable to return to their shop so I've now been waiting over 2 weeks for them to collect the items for a refund and still no joy. Check if you're buying a range item or a range plus if it's the plus range stay clear it's an absolute nightmare trying to sort it when you can't return to their stores.”

“Everything I have ordered from the range it has been out of stock. Last time it took 3 days for them to say my order was cancelled. Quick enough to take money but not quick enough refunding”

“Every time I visit the local branch I find examples of stock either incorrectly priced or no price displayed for a high number of items. This has inevitability resulted in heated discussions at the till. The most common excuse is 'human error'. Given the regularity of such occurances however this is not a valid excuse. The problem lies with poor management and totally inadequate systems for ensuring legally compliant price display. Feedback forms submitted by me are totally ignored. This lot need nicking by Trading Standards. There is no doubt that due diligence standards required by pricing laws could not be met.”

“There are many things that went wrong even to the point I went to watchdog. Absolutely disgusting company that I will never deal with again. Even the CEO Mr A Simpkins didn’t even respond to my email and the head office staff need sacked ASAP. A woman called Emily in head office put the phone down on me. This company needs a complete new management team as the current one is not worth the company having. This company is in trouble with this level of customer care that can’t even treat a customer fairly and professionally. Will never walk in another range again or shop online. Zero stars”

“We ordered a Sofa and Chair that was advertised as ''Luxury Leather'' on The Range website. We paid for it but several days later we found in the small print that the sofa was actually made from 'Bonded leather' Which is known for its lack of durability and is not ''leather'' but a material made from fibers of scrap leather which are bonder together. We phoned and asked to cancel the order and obtain a refund and were told this would be OK and we would receive a refund within three to five days. This was confirmed by email in which we were told to refuse delivery if the furniture should turn up. A week or so later we had not received the refund, on phoning them we were told that because the item was ''made to order'' we could not cancel it. There is nothing on the website that states that these items are made to order. We are now in the position of having no furniture and no refund. Two points stand out to me regarding this situation one is that the item was falsely advertised as being something that it is not. Secondly that this is obviously a scam regarding the ''made to order'' get out clause where they can refuse a refund on something that is not labelled in any way on the website as a ''made to order'' item. I paid through PayPal so will be trying to obtain a refund through them. I will also be contacting trading standards in regard to the misleading description and the misuse of the distance selling laws.”

“Item arrived Damaged. Customer service team ridiculously slow to respond. they say you should expect a reply in 4 days and warn you that if you chase them you will go to the back of the queue. I have ordered twice from them now and both times have been a nightmare. Oh, and the order was wrong as well as damaged.”

“Faulty sofa collected 25 days ago, I was told a refund would be 3-5 working days…. Still nothing! Endless phonecalls to head office and I am given a different excuse every time. £129 out of pocket. Do you think they are heading for closure/ administration? That’s why they are holding onto our money???”

“Got a settee delivered in December last year which by January had holes in the cushions. Arranged inspection and they said they would replace all cushions and reupholstered back which was coming away from the seam. 12 weeks later they had forgotten so eventually a new settee or refund was offered. As I didn't want to be without a settee for weeks I asked for new settee. Numerous delivery dates later I was promised it had been despatched. Still didn't receive the settee. 2 weeks later I was told it failed it's inspection, not sure if this was before or after it was despatched to me. Also advised that they no longer made this product so would have to accept a refund. So they've taken the settee and I'm sitting on garden furniture awaiting my refund. Unable to buy a new settee as I can't afford it without my refund. I've tried to call again. Should have known better as they are completely useless, impolite and really don't give a damn. They've told me I shall just have to wait. I've asked to make a complaint but they advised me I can't make one on the phone. I pointed out that their number was the number given on line to make complaint. Then advised that they have other customers waiting so they needed to terminate my call. They are so rude I don't know how they are getting away with it.”

“Online service is diabolical, pretty much a rip off. Wallpaper order was taken but didn't arrive, eventually after hours on hold, customer services said my order had been cancelled. No notice, no phone call or email.and two weeks later still no refund .”

“Item received badly damaged, courier collected, confirmed receipt back into their warehouse, after numerous emails and calls they still won’t issue the £200 refund back to my account, unable to escalate or speak with anyone other than the same operator who just continues to tell me it will be refunded in 7 working days… fast approaching 30 days now and still nothing… worst online experience I have ever had… buyers beware!”

“Paid for express delivery and was not delivered! No explanation at all just the usual DHL attempted delivery when they clearly did not!!! Then the next day still no delivery shocker!! Couldn’t get anywhere with Robert on line at the Range so I decided to contact via phone 30 minutes later finally got to speak to someone I told them to cancel my order and issue me with a refund I will go elsewhere!! She then told me that they couldn't issue a refund straight away as they needed to wait for the items to be returned??? It would take a week for my refund??? What I didn’t even bloody receive any items! I asked to speak to a manager and apparently managers do not speak to customers??? They are too good to engage with us little people! The worst customer service ever! I know it’s company policy as she kept telling me but that doesn’t help my situation of having to wait for over a week to get a refund!! When I didn’t even receive my items?? I will never again order for the Range!”

“Be careful when using the range plus partner company , the customer service is unresponsive, no option to cancel your order until it’s too late . Says on the website that you can cancel before dispatch but that is not true 😣. The telephone number dosent give you an option to cancel on line orders and no one answers the phone anyway . The product I ordered was half the price on Amazon hence the reason I wanted to cancel . Which I’d read the reviews before ordering and looked elsewhere. Only when the order was dispatched did I get a response from customer services which by that time it was too late to cancel . Think this is a ploy to get you to keep the item Dreadful company which I will not be using again !!!!”

“I ordered a massage mat online which took 10 days to arrive. 2 days after receiving it when I had a chance to inspect it I called The Range to tell them I would like to return it and there was no paperwork or returns information in the box. I was advised the supplier was a Range Plus Partner and it was not possible to return it to a Range Store but they had informed the supplier and would get back to me. It is now almost 3 weeks later and despite numerous phone calls and emails to The Range Customer Service, they have still not provided me with any information that will allow me to return this. The only response I get is that they are waiting for a response from the supplier who are looking into this. I am left with a useless product, a huge box by my front door and no means of returning it. Worst customer service I have ever experienced and will not buy from The Range again. Their poor level of service and lack of consideration to their customers is unacceptable.”

“The Range Plus need to review their suppliers. Living and Home are disgraceful, having a faulty chair delivered, their customer service said that a 'hole' would not affect the use of the chair and that I could sew it up myself wasn't what I wanted as a response and two months later with a failed courier collection, I have finally received my refund..........NOT acceptable !!”
