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."

“Appalling! Customer service over the phone was on the verge of a verbal attack with the ‘put downs’ and ‘turning the table’! The cherry on the cake was - “the manager is too busy with more important matters than talking to a customer!””

“I wouldn't even score a one star on this Company! Appalling customer service. Twice I've sent an E-mail attached with pictures on a faulty curtain which was only seen when hung up. Paid for the curtain rail as well as the curtains. Curtain had 1.5 cm gap. Last year ordered a table over £100.00 and then noticed loads of scratches on the glass. What kind of warehouse do they manage? Are goods not checked before sending to customers? Dunelm has only proved that they are a time-waster and a totally irresponsible company. Avoid at any cost.”

“Still waiting for a bed that should have been delivered over four weeks ago, sleeping on the mattress on the floor, still o delivery and no answers. Waited in three days when they have said it would be delivered and still nothing, awful company and even worse customer service. Still no bed and no answers.”

“If I could give 0 stars I would. Products low quality and arrived squashed due to being stuffed into a box that was too small. Delivery unreliable and late. After care/customer service, shocking. I'm still waiting for a response to emails sent over two weeks ago. All Items returned but only part refund given, I will be pursuing.”

“Purchased a picture from Telford store and found the frame damaged after unpacking, returned to store, there were no others 'in stock' so got a refund. The following day the web site was showing 'in stock' for 'click and collect' so reordered. When I went to collect they attempted to hand over the damaged painting I had returned the previous day. Had another refund!! Beware what this company are trying to sell you items that they know are damaged at full price. When they were found out tried to off load it on to me for a discount.”

“Terrible customer service. I ordered some mirrors, which were delivered damaged. After a long wait to get through to someone at customer service (30 minutes) I was told that my mirrors would be collected by DHL in 2 days. On the day of expected collection I was given a collection time of an hour. The hour passed and no sign of DHL. I phoned that night and was told that they would try collection the next day, DHL never turned up the next day. After several calls latter and assurance by a manager i was informed it would be collected. I waited in for a third day. DHL never arrived. I still am waiting..... I am never buying online from Dunelm again. I suggest you find a more reliable delivery service!!”

“Recently purchased a Dunelm blackout roller blind from the Radcliffe store. The quality of the blind material was reasonable but the fittings were of incredibly poor quality. The metal tube was of the thinnest gauge and impossible to cut without leaving razor sharp edges. Avoid this product. I am struggling to give a one star so I will give a zero.”

“My bed was suppose to be delivered but never turned up. I waited all day and never got a call or any other form of contact to give an explanation as to why my delivery never arrived. Customer service is rubbish as your call never gets answered.”

“Terrible delivery service. No communication between company/customer/courier. Customer service call waiting times are usually 30 mins. I’ve now given up after waiting 5 days for products to arrive (payed for next day delivery) and have demanded a refund for items still not received, and will send back rest of items that have arrived, one of which was damaged. 1st and last time.”

“My lampshades were supposed to be delivered today 8.30-5.30 (all day I have to be available). Just had an email saying they will deliver tomorrow. They won't take into consideration a small window of time I can't be available, nor my delivery instructions at the door. Pretty terrible.”

“I have purchased four sets of fitted sheets over the past couple of years and all sets have shrunk after only a few washes. They are now so tight that I cannot get them on the mattress. The second set were from their Hotel Collection 100% cotton. I have laundered them according to the instructions and having spoken to a lady working in the bedding department of another department store I decided to write to Dunelm on her suggestion. Dunelm answered my concern by saying that I should click on the location they offered as it will give me guidance about their bedlinen. I looked at the information and it was totally unhelpful and didn't answer my question. I wasn't asking for reimbursement just an answer why it should happen, so customer satisfaction is obviously not top of their list. Strangely enough when I mentioned the problem of shrinking sheets to a friend she said, "Oh you didn't get them from Dunelm?" So obviously it is a problem that Dunelm do not acknowledge. I feel disappointed because I have always enjoyed my visits looking around their store and other purchases I have made have not been a problem for me but I do view the store differently now. Such a pity.”
