Ordered a mattress and was told that it had been dispatched and the delivery was 18th September. I stopped in all day but no delivery arrived. Tried to contact customer service today and finally got through to be told they would email the delivery company and ask them to call me. After a few hours of not hearing anything back i called again to be told the same thing. I finally got a call back at 4.30pm and then get cut off. I called back and spoke to someone else who said that the next delivery would be next Wednesday! I asked for the delivery agency number to be told they don't have it!! How can they not have it??? After the call I decided to cancel my order as the only reason I placed the order with Dunelm was for quick delivery. I would rather spend my money elsewhere if it can't be delivered until next Wednesday. However, I have found that I can't even cancel my order online so here's to another fun day tomorrow trying to contact somebody! I will never order from Dunelm again and will be telling my family and friends not to either

***BE WARNED*** ***Be Warned*** My sister bought furniture online from Dunelm, she's not great at building so I went up to build her tv cabinet firstly, got half way through and realised piece number 5 was cut about 30mm too short. Couldn't continue due to this, my sister called and asked for a replacement piece. Dunelm stated this wasn't possible and she would have to return the lot. So again I had to go up to strip what I built and re-box. She was then told delivery would be Monday (today). But they couldn't give her a time until night before. My sister works, luckily I'm on holiday and will now have to sit at her house between 5pm and 7pm. DUNELM I HAVE HONESTLY GOT BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING THAN RUNNING ABOUT DUE TO YOUR INCOMPETENCE AND WASTING MY TIME. SHOCKING.

Paid £125 for a chrome floor standing lamp but the thread on the joining tubes were so oversize that it just kept falling apart. How do they get away with selling junk like this?

I am very disappointed, I would not recommend this company to anyone, the bed arrived damaged and without the mattress, which I have already paid for, it should have come all together, now waiting to know when the mattress will arrive, everything is very disorganized

First time I’ve ever been to Dunelm. This one was in Colliers Wood. Impressed with the selection of products and it all appeared good value (can be deceptive if the quality is poor of course). What I was seriously unimpressed by was the complete contempt the store staff meted out to their customers. Had to queue for ages with only one person serving and six other staff milling around doing absolutely nothing. They all ignored the growing queue forming and my requests for extra staff to be put on the tills. Do they forget that the £200+ I spent in the store paid for a couple of people’s wages for the day. I spoke to the manager about the lack of customer care and sadly he seemed pretty gormless so I doubt much will change. This branch needs a good injection of enthusiasm and better management.

Since ordering a dining table from dunelm the journey had been a complete nightmare! Received an email yesterday from DHL stating delivery would be between 10.50-11.50 waited in. Called customer service several times to see if they had any updates...I asked what happens if my table doesn't arrive today. An advisor stated it would be resent today but they had no control of what courier was used. I said if it didn't arrive today I'd be cancelling..as I wasn't going the absolute nightmare with DHL again. I received an email 2 mins before 5.30 yesterday from DHL saying delivery was delayed as they couldn't "access my address" I've never hears of such nonsense. My address is easy to find, no obstructions etc..the "thing" that delivery my table was the rudest person I've ever came across in the whole of my 66 years. Was then informed by dunelm I'd receive a £15 voucher lol I had to call 3 times to chase the voucher I was supposed to receive via email...at least they're investigating this couriers disgusting behaviour. The last advisor wasn't even going to allow me to speak to a manager until I said "let me get this right. You're stopping me from speaking to a manager" when I said I'll be seeing my lawyer she then said a manager will be calling me tomorrow! Never ever again will I be using this company!

I have been overcharged by £45.00 queried with the lady who served me and she said it didn’t go through system is slow. The person in front had paid cash.Then went on and charged me for the items I had bought £3.24. Checked my bank on leaving returned to the store stating £45.00 had been charged to my account. Supervisor advised the payment wouldn’t go through, unfortunately contacted customer service as payment has been processed and now waiting a response from Brislington branch now very stressed and frustrated and £45.00 down

We ordered garden table and chairs and were told it would be delivered by 1st of August Got a message from the delivery company AIT Home Delivery the day before saying there was a problem and to get in touch It turns out that the date Dunelm gave us is the date that AIT received it from them and not the actual delivery date to the customer. Our actual delivery date is now the 6th of August Apparently this happens all the time so be aware that the date you are given is not the customers delivery date. Totally disappointing as we changed our schedule to suit the first date. Very unprofessional and totally avoidable bad service from Dunelm

I am Really Upset and very Unhappy, after several issues placing an order online (spoke with 2 advisors via online chat) on the Dunelm website for the 'Elements Peacock Hanging Egg Chair', I finally placed my order for 2 of them along with 2 Singapore black egg chairs as well, all monies were taken, delivery date set for Wednesday 31st July and suddenly today 28/07/2024 I get an email saying I have been refunded, prior email today to the refund one says my 2 Elements Peacock Hanging Egg Chairs have been cancelled and refund sent. No explanation from Dunelm as to why they have cancelled, but I am so very dissapointed as I'm in process of painting my existing wooden garden furniture to match these peacock chairs , that are now not arriving ! The chairs were in stock on the website at time of ordering on 22/07/2024 so I have no idea why they cancelled them, this was an order of £567.15, it was personally my first order with them, and if this is how they treat their customers, it may well be my only order with them now. I am one very unhappy customer tonight, yes Dunelm are refunding me and rightly so, but that is beside the point, if items are in stock at the time of ordering and payment taken in full, then the items should be delivered as they were booked in to be. I really do not know what else to say except I think this is very poor of Dunelm.

Bought a saucepan today from Blackpole store. Specifically asked if it was appropriate for an induction hob. Assured it was. Guess what ? It doesn't work. A 25 mile trip wasted pllus 25 miles to return it.

Went to Kilmarnock branch to buy two rugs. The price on the rug stand was £22, no price on the rug itself only a bar code. Bar code couldn't be read at the till so assistant looked up the code and they were £30 each. I disputed the price and after looking into it the assistant told me that the carpet price on the stand was for old stock. Do you really think that this customer service is acceptable whereby items are being purchased with incorrect bar code at the till and the price is different on the stand. I did purchase the rugs but this has put me off buying from you in future.

My 16 years old daughter was refused fabric dye?? Never heard you have to be over 21 to buy Dylon fabric dye. Not only but, the shop assistant called the manager because I said I'll buy it and couldn't sell it to me because she knew it was originally for my daughter. No other place has this restriction. This was in Hastings branch

I purchase a lot of products from Dunlem for my business and home this is the first time I have ever been disappointed in any product. The product I bought was a dunlem set of cotton own brand bedding for my granddaughter, the day after when I visited her I popped into her bedroom after 1 night of sleeping on them I couldn’t believe how creases and shabby they looked.I went into the store. to collect a oos order and mentioned it to the sales assistant how unhappy I was about the product I bought she told me to wait and fetched the store manager her response was we can only exchange our refund Bedding that is faulty which in my opinion is faulty. I have never purchased a set of bedding that after one day, looks so bad.Very poor customer service to just ignore what your customers experience is .Iam afraid I will not be going into a Dunlem store after many years to not even offer a exchange to a more expensive product of better quality is very short sighted

Had problems with a delivery: phone call promised never materialised, time slot given was not adhered to, delivery men were rude and unhelpful. Made a complaint to Dunelm. The response told me what SHOULD have happened, not what did. The woman I complained to ended her email by saying "I hope you have a lovely day". Crass. Insensitive. Total lack of self awareness.
