“I have spent £750, online at The Range. After numerous miss guided info, poor logistics , i got most of my order. Some early , some late. But one order never showed up. So after 2 months of waiting , i cancelled it. I still have not recieved my refund. I have tried online chat, but i got cut off ( surprise , surprise). Countless phone calls so far & them blaming the external supplier for my delayed refund. Lets see how long this farce takes ! Customer service is extremely shoddy too, so don't believe there excuses. NEVER EVER BUY ONLINE FROM THIS JOKE OF A COMPANY. Please head the warning.”

“I purchased online 300 solar lights. They were sold as a bright white but are almost blue. I charged them in full sun for 5 days but they are only coming on for a couple of hours and then quite faintly. I have bought from other shops before but due to shielding had to buy online. I have read all the bad reviews so will not waste time and money trying to sort it out. Will not use the store again, online or visiting, I should mention that I have had trouble with wrong ticket pricing as mentioned. Paignton store, Devon.”

“I would never order anything from the Range again, and their customer service is a no go After 28 phone calls about a Gazebo that was ordered/delivered in March before the lockdown, which was not fit for purpose, so had another one delivered, which couldnt be touched because it needed 3 people to erect, when we could erect all the screws, fittings were missing It has just been picked up, due to my frustration at not getting, all the missing parts delivered, these came in 3 parcels separately after ringing and spending 29 hours on the phone Numerous emails. Even a letter of complaint.....no response Every time I rang and spoke to a advisor, I would ask to speak to a manager, the answer would "We have no customer facing managers"! What a mess I think the Range needs to put customers first, which is quite clear to me, they take your money, and not interested after No after sales service I have been patient for 4 months, until I gave up and asked for a refund Lets see how long this takes, lets hope its not more phone calls etc I am a very unhappy customer, and would NOT recommend the Range, because if you have a problem, its your problem”

“I have inky given them one star because that is the minimum rating I could provide. In reality however I wouldn’t even give them one star. Their customer service is appalling. Twice o have purchased items online. Once items were damaged and I did receive a refund but this was after waiting on we chat for 2 hours in a queue as no one bothers to respond to e nails and you can’t speak to customer services on the phone for online purchases. The second time I did not receive my items at all and complained only to be incorrectly told my Hank were holding the payment. I checked with my bank who informed me the money had been taken from my account which they still disputed. The online customer services team are rude and abrupt and don’t follow through. I had to raise a complaint via PayPal and got a refund that way. Had I waited for them to respond I would have never have received my money back. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS STORE ONLINE YOU WILL REGRET IT.”

“DO NOT ORDER ON-LINE, APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICES My delivery was missing a chair (so instead of 6 chairs being delivered only 5 arrived). They said they'd order a replacement chair (but they didn't), they were still selling the same sets when I reported the missing chair but after a month and me having to contact them again they miraculously couldn't get a replacement chair and couldn't replace the set. After incurring a big phone bill to customer services, arguments with my husband for racking up the phone bill and numerous emails sent to customer services and The Ranges escalation email (with no response) and 4 months later I'm still waiting for someone to contact me and amicably resolve this matter.”

“Every single customer was wearing a face mask today. None of the staff had the reciprocal manners to wear one. What kind of discipline is this. One cough from your shop floor and people could die. Legally your on dodgy ground. Please rectify, forthwith.”

“I ordered net curtain rods which were bent when they arrived, I tried to straighten one and it broke, they were very flimsy admittedly they weren't expensive but not good. I didn't send them back as no returns slip in plastic bag....they should have been better packaged for things and can bend. I was desperate for these so went and purchased more and the dustment have just taken away. Waste of money....I would say the packaging is at fault here.”

“Summary: The staff in The Range Weston super Mare store are polite, professional and compassionate. What happens in head office and behind the scenes _appears_ to lie somewhere between incompetence and deliberate fraud. NO ONE takes responsibility for progressing your order and those that actually try to be helpful are not empowered to actually achieve anything. My wife and I ordered a £1K sofa 16th March 2020. Paid a 10% deposit and went for the interest free finance option (The Range use Barclays for this). SO FAR we have spent an hour in online text chats, two and a half hours on the phone to customer service, two hours on the phone to Barclays to try and stop the finance direct debits and an hour in-store trying to get a refund. As you can imagine there has also been several hours of conversations between my wife and I related to this situation. We initially made an allowance of a months delay due to the manufacturer being in lockdown. After a few conversations the delivery date was promised as 20th? July. Around the 11th-15th July there were text messages telling us that the sofa would be delivery. And then there were messages from the delivery company (Arrow XL) saying that they hadn't been given the correct paperwork so the items would not be delivered. Someone (The Range or the manufacturer?) told Barclays that the item had been delivered so the finance arrangements kicked in and our first payment will be a few days time. I don't know what the legal definition of 'fraud' is, but to my non-legal mind, this seems pretty close. Still no sign of the sofa. We spoke to Customer Service. They said the best thing to do was to raise another order for the sofa, so they did. Just after that conversation we decided to cancel the order - we had given them enough opportunities to deliver and they had failed. We no longer have any confidence in The Range to get fault free goods to us on an agreed delivery date. We phoned Customer Service/Order cancellation and they cancelled the second order delivery, but told us that we would need to go in store to cancel the original order and get our refund. We went in store to get our refund. We were told it would only take half an hour. We were there much longer and it still wasn't resolved. The store staff discovered that they don't know where our original sofa is, so they can't refund the deposit and cancel the Barclays direct debit until Arrow XL (courier) have tracked it down. That takes 3-4 working days. We are now waiting for the store to contact us to say that 1) they know we don't have the sofa 2) that they have cancelled the Barclays direct debit and 3) we will need to go into the store (again) to refund the deposit. Tomorrow morning will be day 5 of the 3-4 working days required to track down the sofa. We will NEVER use The Range for any delivery item again. At the moment I don't know whether we will ever use the store for items that we can buy and walk out the door with. The experience so far has left us feeling very bitter and the easiest way to remove that bitterness from our lives is to not visit the store beyond getting our refund. Hopefully that will be tomorrow, but then I don't have any reason to believe that The Range will meet that dead-line either.”

“Absolutely atrocious company, and pathetic customer service! My wife ordered 10 31cm garden pots, and they arrived smashed to bits. I have tried to place another order for these pots, to be delivered to the local store. After a long wait, I finally poke to an absolutely condescending prat, who spoke over me, and accused me of not listening to him. A f*ck-wit of the highest order. I'd be surprised if he goes through life without a few dull thuds on the side of his jaw. Never again will I shop at this cheap poundstore type place, and I think that most of the reviewers on here must have spoken to the same idiot. He probably 'packed' the bloody pots as well...”

“Ordered bedroom furniture unable to deliver to room of choice because of Covid.They were meant to text 1 hour prior to delivery this would have enabled us to contact family with assistance to place furniture in situ. No text just arrived and left in the hallway Next issue click and collect. Email states do not travel to store until you receive an email saying it is ready for collection. No email Rang head office item had been delivered and signed for at the store.Rang the store unable to find my item.They did have a replacement in store, attitude of staff very condescending, I will not use this store again ever .”

“Treat the Range as a market stall and you won’t be disappointed. Believe it to be a reputable store with customer service and you’ll be in for a shock. On two occasions I’ve tried to exchange goods. One was faulty and one misdescribed. Absolutely no chance. The staff appear to be instructed not to exchange under any circumstances. Lessons learned.”

“I would avoid buying from The Range unless you want weeks of hassle! Product was poor quality and arrived damaged. Followed the instructions on the website, sent photo, and heard nothing. Waited a week and then repeated the process, nothing. Getting through to customer service live chat took 40 mins. They would not issue a replacement and said I had to dispose of it myself or wait until the courier confirmed collection to request a refund. They would not issue confirmation of a refund having been made but I could save the live chat as proof of my request. After the chat ended there was no option to save it. I doubt I will ever see my refund.”

“Ordered a sunlounger 1st June due 8th never arrived. Phoned 15th, had to wait over hour and half to speak and was told item was lost and they would refund me. Day after I received only the postage back. Over next couple days spent over 6 hours trying to get thru as they don't reply to emails. Was told it would be another 14 days as it has to go thru their refunds dept. Hogwash! Spoken to the since having spent another coupe of hours on phone and was told I should get my money back 3-5 days. Liars. Still waiting and it's now 25th July. The delivery firm they use XDP are just as bad as they have held onto the sunlounger for over 6 weeks. Don't order anything from The Range ever !!”

“We paid 500 pounds for a hot tub got it home and the filter was missing .while my husband went back to the shop I tried to inflate it to no avail. Their were also marks on it witch suggest it is not new .when my husband got back he was told the filter was not in it because it was ex display .somthing we new nothing about .as far as we were concerned we brought at full price a new hot tub .when we went back 2 hours after paying 500 pounds to say it was faulty and we wanted our money back we were told no you have to register on line for a warenty and then claim back .disgusting customer services .and a breach of the trade description act for selling used goods as new .phoned head office and they just hang up on you and so do the so called customer complaints .this happens at crawley where the general manager won't show his or her face and leaves inexperienced Floor managers to deal with problems.”
