Dunelm 5 star review on 23rd October 2024

Linda Shields

"UPDATE: contacting the CEO or any other team members and they'll either ignore you or refer you to the Customer Care team without ever responding to you personally. The Customer Care team just dismiss everything we say or ask, and didn't know the facts regarding how to clean the sofa as per the video and instructions on the Dunelm product page for the sofa. Michelle from the Customer Care team had to confirm the correct way to clean our sofa after she argued and accused us of not following the guidelines, based on wrong facts and details in the Emmiera report by Russell. Michelle from Customer Care just keeps telling us that she is going along with the wrong information and won't look into it any further or work out a resolution. We have tried taking this issue to West Yorkshire Trading Standards Service ADR scheme as per the Dunelm Complaints procedure. It states that if you are unhappy with the resolution from Dunelm, you can contact ADR... but the catch, if you try - you have to have consent from Dunelm that they'll participate. Dunelm has declined to participate and told us to go to Trading Standards instead.\r\n\r\nJust a heads-up for anyone considering the Carson Deep Sit Vivalife Stain-Resistant Fabric Corner Sofa from Dunelm. We bought it in November 2022 for \u00a31,314.05, and it\u2019s been nothing but trouble. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve experienced:\r\n\r\n- Mould is growing inside the cushions\u2014even the ones that haven\u2019t been cleaned.\r\n- Despite being advertised as stain-resistant, the sofa stains and turns blue\/black when cleaned according to the provided instructions.\r\n- There's a strange black glitter-like substance that transfers to skin and is hard to remove.\r\n- Dunelm sent a technician who initially told us it was a manufacturing fault, but their final report falsely blames us for \"using the wrong cleaning methods.\" The report is full of mistakes, including irrelevant advice about cleaning garden furniture!\r\n- The sofa cushions are supposed to be water-resistant, but they\u2019ve clearly soaked up moisture, causing the mould\u2014despite us following the instructions and air-drying the cushions.\r\n\r\nWe're being accused of mistreating the sofa without any real proof, and we're stuck with a product that doesn't meet the standards of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If you're looking for a sofa, I\u2019d steer clear of this one."

“First of all your driver delivers to the wrong address which he justifies by telling me I shouldn't live in a such an awkward place! Another delivery was scheduled for today but at 2pm I was advised my delivery wasn't coming and would now be coming tomorrow???”

“Found out when returning home that I'd been overcharged at Warrington store. Rang and member of staff admitted item wrongly priced, but said I would have to contact customer services to get partial refund. Rang as adviced, told I couldn't get refund without proof of overcharge, despite giving staff members name in-store, till receipt number, item number, paid by card so could give are details. Told they can't contact individual stores to clarify the info. Being expected to jump through hoops due to their mistakes. Won't be returning to Dunelm!!”

“Visited Warrington store, when I got home found I,d been overcharged, contacted store to be told the price on the shelf wrong, and to contact Customer services for a refund. Again, no refund was offered unless I could prove I'd been overcharged! I gave the item number, time of visit and name of store staff who admitted the incorrect pricing. Unprepared to check their own system, but expected me to jump through hoops. Don't think I,ll be visiting Dunelm again.! In question below "How easy was it to get a refund?" no option for "Virtually impossible"I”

“ordered a bed and mattress from dunelm mills last weekend, the original text saying delivery was for weds as I was working I rearranged for Friday, and took the day off work, by 3.00 I rang to see if there was any time update, to be told it wasnt even on the van and the earliest would be Monday, as I had already taken Friday off there was no way I could take another day off, so I had to cancel.. I am absolutely disgusted by the fact that there is no communication to let customers know what is happening. the customer service is very, very poor and they really dont seem to care how bad it is. I personally would never use dunelm again they are unreliable and not at all helpful.”

“I had a lovely bedside table delivered. Unfortunately, it was badly damaged on the front so I managed to book a slot for collection by the courier to pick it up, however it wasn’t picked up the first time or the second time. It has now been suggested that I return it to store, but I do not live near the store and it is a large item to put in my car. Disgusting that you expect people to wait in a total of 24 hours now and do not appreciate the inconvenience involved in bad service.”

“I had a home delivery of two lamps one of them was broken due to poor packaging so I returned them to the Norwich store. I was refunded within 48 hours but wasn't refunded the delivery charge!”

“I'm usually very happy with the staff at Dunhelm but tonight's experience was not good, hence the review! I was served by 'Ruth' Ascot Drive Derby and she was very patronising and arrogant when I asked if a 'Non-Iron Pleated Divan' was in fact a Valance Sheet...she told me "NO!" its something to go round the bottom of your mattress base and 'it's not a sheet!!!' I get home to find 'YES' it is a sheet!! Don't work in Customer Service if you don't like customers I say!!”

“I have been a customer of Dumhelm for many years now and have always been more than happy with the staff. In fact there is a review I did a couple of years ago praising a member of staff. Also a more recent visit in April this year to buy a rug - a young man helped me with the rug and couldn't be more helpful, putting it in the car for me! That was until tonight.....I called in to get a Valance sheet - I picked up what I believed to be just that but it was called 'Pleated Divan Trim.' I took it to the till and asked the assistant 'Ruth' if it was a Valance sheet...she addressed me in a rather patronising manner, informing me 'NO" it was what it said 'A trim to go round the base of a bed!' I agreed to take it as no other help or explanation was forthcoming.... I then get home to find it is a 'Valance Sheet!' If I visit the store again I will not be going to that cashier. If you do not like people/customers' then do another job where you do not speak to people....”

“Duleum Leicester! The service from day one was terrible, I sent an email how disappointed I was. The only reason I went forward with there service as they was the only shop that had crushed velvet I liked. We spent alot of money on blinds in one room, and paid additional service to have them fitted. And they fell off within hours. My husband had to put them back up however he could. And they could only come out over a week later. It has been over a week now, since someone has been out and corrected the problem. Noone has contacted us to apologise, even tho the blinds fallen caused damage. I usually never send emails or write a review, so this shows how annoyed I am with there service.”

“I have just put a review on your website saying how I was refused to purchase a hoover at Lancvaster as it was the last one, and have just checked to see the stock at the same store and it says you can collect it in the next 3 hours, I think that says it all about who knows what they are doing!”

“Went to our local Dunelm at Lancaster, picked up a lightweight hoover at £55, but it was the only one on the shelf, so took it to the counter to be told it was not for sale as it was the only one left! Asked why could not have it as it presented itself for sale. Told can't sell it, until we get some more. When is that, maybe Monday, so I have to come back to find out! Told the manager to forget it! What a load of rubbish, so you don't want my £55, is that how you do business?”

“I have been very disappointed at the customer service at Dunelm, Staiton. I recently selected a light coloured fabric with thermal lining for your made to measure curtains. The sales assistant did not make it clear to me that the thermal lining would completely alter the colour from an ivory shade to a warm yellow tone which clashes with my colour scheme. I have unfortunately ordered two sets of curtains with light coloured fabric and thermal lining. The only way I could think of improving the look (other than cutting out the entire lining) was to order tie backs. After having already spent £1,267.85 on these two sets of curtains, I was asked to return to the store to pay a further £67.80 for tie-backs. I had expected Dunelm to provide tie-backs for free after failing to make it clear that the thermal linings would COMPLETELY ALTER THE APPEARANCE OF THE FABRIC (IN PARTICULAR WITH LIGHT COLOURED MATERIAL). Your terms and conditions currently state: LINING CAN AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR FABRIC Had I been made aware, I would have chosen a cotton lining.”

“Home delivery is a nightmare. First time and I will never use it again. STILL waiting for my ironing board and despite having spent God knows how long on the phone, I cannot get through to a real person to deal with this. Really peed off. Argos deliver the same day! Why can’t Dunelm answer their phones? Dead loss. DO NOT USE DUNELM!”

“ORDERED AND PAID FOR 2 DOUBLE MATTRESSES ON THE 10TH APRIL. WERE TO BE DELIVERED ON THE 25TH APRIL. THE LORRY ARRIVED WITH ONE MATTRESS!! THE MEN HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE OTHER MATTRESS. WHEN I PHONED DUNELM I WAS TOLD IT COULD 3 WORKING DAYS TO TRACK IT DOWN. THE WEBSITE SAYS THAT ITEMS ARE DELIVERED WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS! I HAD TRAVELLED OVER 100 MILES TO BE AT THE PROPERTY THAT DAY TO RECEIVE THE ITEMS. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, HOW CAN THEY NOT ORGANISE THE DELIVERY OF 2 IDENTICAL MATTRESSES. I HAVE ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK ON THE MATTRESS THAT DID NOT ARRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN RE-IMBURSED. KEEP WELL CLEAR OF DUNELM!”

“I came to the store in Redditch today to be greeted by a very sour faced girl with black hair, Didn't get her name but she was very rude and completely ignored the fact i was a customer and continued on her phone. I ended up leaving the cafe to browse the store feeling deflated by her attitude. A real shame as the ladies in there are usually very friendly”
