Unbelievable customer service. Was lied to by several people, Ignored and patronised. It’s now been 4 weeks and I’m nearly £200 down and still no one knows where my rug is or seems to care.

Worst customer service experience ever bought an entire bedroom set 8 weeks ago still waiting for the missing parts of the wardrobe wasted 2 days off waiting for deliveries and collections, company lies and brakes all promises no concern over the service received - But they do say sorry when you prove they lied!! Avoid at all costs in case anything goes wrong

I raised a complaint over a telephone order I placed on 22/3/19 because it still hasn't been resolved 3 weeks later I would give Dunelm zero stars. Apparently you cannot involve higher management for a number of weeks to allow your complaint to be resolved by the store. In my case I gave not heard from the store for 2 weeks, I think they just want me to go away. Very, very poor customer service.

I had a bad experience with Dunelm. I ordered a bed and delivery suppose to be 3-5 days. On day 3 I got a message head board from my bed is missing and they have to wait for delivery so my home delivery will be delayed. Two days after they said they they booked my delivery in the next... 7days!! Two days aftet that called be again saying my delivery was moved even further away!!! I cannot deal with companies like this. They wasted 2 weeks of my time and offered 10% off the next order and a good will...I don't think I will buy anything off them again. they also messed my sister's sofa delivery which came without legs so she had to wait one more week for it to come. Luckily she got £80 compensation for it.

Dunelm assistance was amazing always some one about to ask about products. Didn't have to wait at anytime for anything I requested product wise. Staff polite at all times.

Disgraceful!! Harassed and Stressed a pregnant lady out and then lied about it!!! WARNING Employee's are told to take photos of customers as they did of me and of my car license plates with personal phones without any reasonable explanation?!!? Manager told us that he has given these instructions. Where are they using these photos? I wanted to return some sheets I had previous purchased. I went in to check if I could return them, there was a long que so I did some shopping first. When I went to the counter the lady said it was fine to return and TOLD ME TO Go Get THEM. So I went to my car and took them to the same counter where she was still scanning my items and could see I had been to my car through the front store windows, another employee came over and told me i could not return with out a receipt. No problem I said completely understand, she continued to stand there staring at me and I felt a bit of an atmosphere from her. Whilst packing my shopping into my car, the same employee was staring at me out the window (the same window they watched me get the items to return moments before) she then came out to my car a took pictures me and of my licence plate on her phone and wrote something on it. In complete confusion my sister and I went back in and asked why she had taken my photo and she lied and said she didn't, she said her manager asked her to do something on her phone.... Going away I was completely panicking thinking I was going to get pulled over, why did she have my photos and why my plates? I rang the manager as I could not stop worrying. He knew absolutely nothing of the incident and came back after ten mins on hold, the employee HAD taken the photos and gave the reason that they didn't see me go in with the sheets but walked out with them... Although they clearly did ask me to go get them and watched me do so? So she took it upon herself to take my photos with her personal phone and then lie and say the manager told her too... After being harassed and stressed out, the manager was apologetic but also gave an excuse saying they were on high alert at the moment. Was never shown that the photos of me were deleted or kept on personal phone... I felt this was completely unacceptable, I have spent thousands in this very store and to be treated in such a way was demoralising. I won't be going there again they have lost a good customer. I also warn anyone shopping there to be extra careful with the employees accusations. Apparently all staff are told by management to take photos of anyone at any time (on personal phones) if they 'think' something is suspicious.... Even when you've just been told to go get the items and watched as you brought them in. Feel like this was set up.

Disappointed customer I placed an online order of a sofa in store on Sunday (the staff were nice and helpful in the store opposite IKEA in Reading) with the promise of delivery within 3-5 working days. This sounded great as I had just sold my old sofa and had a flexible week at work so I knew I was going to be able be there to receive the sofa no problem. On Monday I received a text stating the delivery was scheduled for Wednesday and I thought great, I'm really happy with this. On Tuesday I received a text saying the delivery was delayed and I was given the option to cancel or to reschedule. I chose to to reschedule for Friday, thinking it's still within the promised 3-5 working days. I knew I was going away Friday evening, so contacted Dunelm on Thursday asking how to track the order. No response. I then called on Friday morning asking about the tracking and was told the sofa was now due to be delivered on Wednesday.. I'm away on Wednesday so I was left with no option but to cancel the order and go looking for more reliable retailer. No wonder shops are closing. Customer service no longer exist.

Very unhappy with the service I have received. Ordered a bed and mattress on Monday, advised delivery will be within 3-5 working days, this morning the bed has arrived but no mattress... called customer service to chase the delivery for the mattress and advised wont be delivered until Monday, which is unacceptable and not in line with their promise of 3-5 days. I will not be using Dunelm delivery again.

We found exactly what we were looking for in the Nottingham store at a reasonable price (on 28/3/19). However, I was very disappointed by the attitude of the assistant who "served" us. She continued laughing and joking with her colleagues, while paying minimal attention to us.

I ordered 2 teal bar stools, but was sent 1 in teal and one in silver. I contacted them online, sent a photo and was promised a replacement in the right colour. However shortly after I received an email saying that they had cancelled my order, for no apparent reason. To date I have never had the correct colour stool and am stuck with 2 mismatched items. Just don't seem to be able get any contact or explanation from them. I have been a loyal customer for many years but this is not acceptable service. Very dissapointed.

Ordered a sofa. Delivery is between 7am and 7pm and you can call after 6.30 the evening before for your slot. This takes 15 mins holding on the line to get to speak with someone. It would be much more helpful if this was sent by email or text automatically I mean it is pretty important. The sofa arrived boxed for self assembly. Bits were missing from the assembly parts. Part of it was damaged too so had to arrange return. We were compensated for the missing bits which we had to buy but at this point hadnt seen the damage to the sofa. A replacement came, again after calling for a delivery slot which this time took 2 x 15 min calls as i got cut off (would have been nice if first adviser called me back. The second call also got cut off but I had asked the adviser to call me if that happened which thankfully he did (once bitten!). The replacement was also damaged and we are having a terrible time getting someone to take responsibility and make sure the next (3rd) replacement is undamaged before its sent out so that we are sure to finally get what we've paid for. I have asked to talk to a manager to complain but this request appears to be ignored, no one has called and I am expected to wait another week and be inconvenienced again to take delivery. How many times do they consider this is acceptable? Although most advisers are friendly and helpful the impersonal nature of the procedures are frustrating and not what I expect from a well known company. I'm still waiting...

Hello I bought curtains and a duvet set to match about 15mths ago. I didn’t use them right away and hung them around October I took them down to be professionally cleaned during this process the black out lining got damaged the cleaners called me and gave me a letter noting that the correct chemical had been used and advised me to take them back to dunelm mill in kilbowie road , Clydebank and show them the problem. The girl at customer service was lovely but although they still had the bedding (on line ) they did not have any curtains there was not on there system any more they could only offer me £7 !!! What an insult I asked to see the manager the girl went into room behind her to tell her. The manager didn’t come out but told the girl to offer me £24!!! They were darmask curtains. So think before you buy anything in the company I am totally discussed to say the least . Agnes Macdonald

I have ordered over £1000.00 worth of shutters and can't get in touch with anyone to get them fitted. Took a week for someone to answer the phone at Trafford branch wasn't interested in the fact that it had taken me so long. Have me the number for the saleslady whose phone is going straight to answerphone at the end of my tether

We have just had a delivery from Dunelm, the delivery company was Panther, there was a little blip as our telephone no wasn’t taken correctly but other than that the service from Dunelm and panther were excellent, we could track Panther’s progress bringing our package and the driver phoned us about 1/2 hour before arrival, all in all a very good service.

Hi I felt I had to let you know about a lovely helpful member of staff at your Solihull branch who went above and beyond to help me. Her name is Sue Hickey, she was so lovely and made my shopping experience amazing, she became my personal shopper and a valuable 2nd opinion that I needed. Thank you so much. I definitely will be back. X

Saw the curtains I want on the site so went to my local store. Helpful assistant told me the are a web exclusive item but it doesn't say that on the listing but they couldn't order it for me. Tried to order them online but was unable to do so. Emailed Dunelm who replied it was currently not available as indicated by the crosses next to delivery choice (quite snotty in tone). I replied that the exprerss delivery had a green tick against it. No reply but did notice later this had been changed though subsequently it is back (go figure!). If an item is out of stock or not currently available then indicate that on the listing. It's not hard to do
