I’ve just had a rug delivered and had to ask him to bring it into the room. I was then left to unopened it myself. I’m not sure if I like it but the procedure to return it is hard for a 75 year old lady on her own. Can you help me?

AWFUL. Sent me a bed that cannot be built. They have still not rectified the matter 4 weeks later and are at no risk of doing so. I've not heard from them despite my numerous attempts to clarify what is going on. Laughable really. The worst customer service I've received in a long, long time! Hard to believe that companies can still get away with this sort of behaviour. Avoid this sham company at all costs!

We were asked to leave the shop in Norwich yesterday , due to having a very small assistantance dog . With all his information on, as no dogs allowed in their shop! We go in hospital with him an restaurants , why are people with mental problems told to leave the furniture shop, won’t ever go in there again, really bad situation!

Cannot get anyone on the customer care phone. Promised a delivery that the delivery company could not find. I phoned head office of Dunhelm in working hours and it was not open. Very disappointed in such a household name store. Really poor service in my opinion. They still owe me a delivery charge.

Bought a circular foot stool - the type that is filled with polystyrene balls stuffing. It became somewhat deflated after a few weeks of use so I bought a bag of the stuffing to top it back up. The stupid design has both the zippers stitched so that the pull tag is INSIDE the bag - the logic according to the tag being that it is child safe. Yes but how do you open the zipper n the outer and inner bags to replace or top up the filling - you cannot. Other makes put the zipper on the normal way round then remove the pulling tag, so that an adult can then use a paperclip to pull open the zip - logical. I am now left with saggy stools - thanks Dunelm you are useless.

Bought a copper retro fan on a stand, £50. A wee bit tricky to assemble, we modified the shonky fittings that secure the motor to the shaft. Fan is fab, looks fabulously retro, in all its copper loveliness and looks a treat in our lantern room. Shopped in store, friendly smiley staff, clearly enjoy their jobs at Boston

Ordered a TV unit online. Received 3 emails conforming dispatch, delivery day and then delivery time. Item never arrived. Dunelm unable to track item. Very poor customer service. Now I'm expected to wait on an investigation to find my item.

We ordered matching wardrobes and a chest of drawers. The delivery drivers were completely bamboozled by the invoice which said their were "2 items" so they tried to give us 2 boxes. I noticed one of the boxes said "1 of 3" and told them there must be one missing and they gave me that one. After opening the boxes I realised they had still only given me the wardrobe. They didn't understand the difference between a number of boxes and a number of items. This information must be on every order they deliver, so I don't understand how they could possibly be doing their job. Do they deliver part of every item that is across multiple boxes? We got in touch with Dunelm and the delivery organisation to complain. They insisted the item had been delivered. We did our own investigation and sent them information on the dimensions of boxes, our photos of the delivered boxes (all the wrong way up). They also had a photo of the delivered boxes that they refused to show us. Most of our messages throughout this process were completely ignored, we received no response to inform us what, if any, investigation was taking place. The only responses we got were that the item had been delivered, they didn't even ask the delivery drivers if they had a box left at the end of the day, they just accused us of lying. Eventually, we were informed they had "found" our "missing item". They wouldn't give us any information on what delivery drivers do when there is a box in their van at the end of the day With a customer's address and order number on it. I suspect they just dump them, because the chest of drawers we received was so badly damaged that when I took the drawers out for the first time it fell apart such that I can't put the drawers back in. Dunelm have taken so long (over a month) to make a complete mess of this process, that now there are no more in stock. It is a matching set with the wardrobe that actually did arrive. Obviously we would not have bought either of these products if we knew we wouldn't get the complete set. Honestly I think these people must be making a concerted effort to do their job badly. It would be far less hassle for them to behave in a reasonable manner, re-deliver items that they forgot to deliver and have all the details of how to re-deliver, Talk to other departments rather than just trying to fob customers off without any kind of investigation. They made no attempt to correct any of their mistakes, they don't care if customers are satisfied or not. They offered us a discount to keep the completely ruined furniture, which is laughable. It isn't convenient for me to have large shattered pieces of wood blocking up my hallway, But I have to keep it here for them to come and pick it up and give me a refund. I don't know why they want to transport these broken pieces of wood across the UK before putting them in the bin, It is clear from the pictures that they will not be able to repair this unit. Their main intention is to make it as inconvenient as possible for me to get my money back. They made no attempt to organise a replacement, only made it clear that if it ever comes back in stock it will be more expensive. We now have to try and find a suitable chest of drawers from another supplier and order it, something that we spent considerable time on 2 months ago. We still don't have anywhere to put our clothes away in our new house. I will never buy anything from Dunlem again. They have some nice furniture, but their processes are a complete shambles and they have somehow managed to hire a workforce of people who are fine with making a mess of every task and disappointing people 8 hours a day. It must be soul destroying to be so profoundly useless on a daily basis, and this gives me some consolation.

I will join the long list of 1 star reviews. Dunelm are using Evri as their Courier - useless and it is such hard work to get difficulties sorted out. I even wrote to the Dunelm CEO but my complaint - or complaints as one of them was actually about their on-line Agent who totally ignored me and then closed down the 'chat' - but it was passed back to Dunelm customer service. I have asked for a refund if my order is not received tomorrow. I will not be ordering from Dunelm again nor a few other companies that also use Evri.

I placed order of 2 mattresses on 25th May and It was supposed to be delivered before 31st 25/05 - Placed order of 2 Mattresses, given delivery deadline 31/05 30/05 - Received comm from Panther Courier to select delivery date, the earliest available date was 6th Jun so I selected. 05/06 - delivery time slot was given 12:39-14:39 06/06 - we were eagerly waiting for the mattress since we have been sleeping but 11AM I received comm that it will not be delivered since items were not received on time 07/07 - we were very disappointed and frustrated so I pinged customer service over chat(they don’t have any other option). The customer service gave me case id and said to come back in 72 hrs. 10/07 - Since I didn’t hear back, I pinged again and got to talk to a new customer service representative. I explained whole thing. I was said that items was lost and a new replacement order is being created and deadline was give as 20/06 20/06 - I didn’t receive any update on order so I pinged again. I was told again to come back in 72 hrs. By evening I received comm from Panther courier to select the delivery date. Easiest available date was 26th June so I selected it. 25/06 - delivery slot was given 8:06-10:06 26/06 - Morning 8:32am, I received same message that delivery will not happen because item was not received. One month and mattress were not delivered. Finally I cancelled the order. Through out the time it has been so disappointing and frustrating experience. I had talked to 5 customer representatives, all promised to revert in 72 hours but nobody ever came back or replied back to my mails. They never understood our pain and trouble and never cared.

So frustrating! Just can not get through to talk to someone. No valid email address, live chat is either not available or no one bothers to talk. Can’t get through on the telephone, left holding on. I need a refund on an item returned. I had three pairs of curtains in the parcel but have only been refunded for two! Appalling Customer service! I will never order online again! This has happened with other stores also and when there is a problem you can never get through to speak to anyone.

Have been introduced to the company for about 18 months now. Great service. Good prices and prompt delivery. Good reviews of products prior to purchase. Had cause to return couple of items and customer service was brilliant. Always first choice now and extended credit offered for larger purchases

Order is taking too long to arrive despite my paying extra for next day delivery. Apparently no easy way to ask for a refund on postage either - will not use again.
