“Bought a gazebo in June 2020. After a year the canopy started to tear, now after 2 years it acts tears like paper. Robert dyas we’re no help after emailing them they said about the expired warranty. Will not be using Robert Dyas again.”
“Just bought two 600wt nitro bullet blenders from this store one doesn’t work ?! I’ve never had problems with this product from other stores. It will need returning but judging by the returns process it seems like more trouble than it’s worth”
“I do not know what kind of outfit this is but they are not reputable traders and I feel I may have been scammed. I purchased 256 coffee pods for £69.99 which is roughly the market price. I think it highly unlikely I will ever see my £69.99 again. They were on the website as one single item; they did not sell them in other quantities. Six days later I received 16 pods worth about £4.40 in damaged packaging. Trying to get this resolved with customer services is hopeless. First online chat person never got back to me. Second attempt no one even responded. Emailed describing issue and got reply asking me to describe issue!!! No point in phoning as service deliberately avoids providing service as you cannot speak to a human. To date, they have had £69.99 for 10 days and all I have to show for it is £4.40 worth of pods which look like they have been trodden on. Excuse is "supplier" does not sell 256 pods. "Supplier" will collect and refund will be issued 3-5 days later. Now told "supplier" wants me to return it to click and collect store. It's only 400 miles away! I did not purchase anything from a "supplier". I purchased it from Robert Dyas. I did not pay a "supplier". I paid Robert Dyas. I have been told the "supplier" does not sell this item; it would appear I have bought an item which does not exist from someone with whom I was not trading! Is that a scam or not? It's worth less than £4.40 and it is their fault; why bother asking for it to be returned? After all, they have had my payment for 10 days already and I have nothing but a great deal of grief and worry. If you trade with Robert Dyas just wave goodbye to your hard-earned cash. They have no concept of customer service; Robert Dyas has regarded me like something contemptable in which it has trodden. I have no recourse other than to pass this to Trading Standards.”
“EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.
WAITING MY REFUND STILL DIDNT RECEIVE MY PRODUCT.
SUPPOSED TO GET BY 12/08/22.
CUSTOMER SERVICE RUDE AND USELESS.
BOTH FROM ROBERT DYAS AND DHL.
NEVER AGAIN.
GIVE MY MONEY BACK URGENTLY.”
“I purchased a shed from Robert dyas ( or so I thought ) what a load of rubbish how it can be called a shed wafer thin can see daylight through the slats wood splits when nailing flimsy wobbly panels . If the wind blows I don’t think it will be standing the gentleman who is putting it up can’t believe the thinness and the poorest quality he has ever seen .after much debate of wasting time and energy Continuing the build we are going to take it down I paid £1200 for this pile of rubbish which is not fit for purpose I have attached photo evidence”
“I’ve purchased two Charles Bentley parasols from you in the past but my recent purchase was of extremely poor quality. Furthermore, the shipping costs were exorbitant and late and my complaints were ignored. I won’t be buying from you again.”
“Well they take your money quick enough but the goods never appear - customer service telephone line all on holiday it would appear, for what has been weeks!
Been on hold for 1 hour on three separate occasions and still haven't spoken to anyone!
Would give zero stars if I could..... not happy!!”
“Bought a kettle and toaster Charles Bentley set the kettle is faulty can’t get to speak to anyone ever, automated call doesn’t even have complaints section, auto chat justs cuts you off no option to report faults or complaints anywhere with either company I will never buy from either one again”
“Do not use this awful company. I placed an order for 16 packets of Lavazza coffee and received one packet of a different coffee. It took me over an hour waiting on the phone, and via the virtual assistant, to talk to anyone about this. I was then told I had to waste even more time taking and uploading a photograph of the incorrect item that had been delivered, and arrange to be in for a courier to come and collect the incorrect item. Not until all that had been done, would I receive my original order. I have wasted nearly £80, and still not got what I ordered, and I can not now cancel my order as it is marked as delivered. Customer service??? What customer service?”
“Be careful ordering from this site. If you are supplied with a faulty item you can forget a refund and even though you are promised resolutions by the Customer Service Team this never happens and you are left out of pocket. I have had to escalate this to an outside complaints to try and get my money back.”
“I went into rubber dies in George Strait 1145 today and this woman she was huffing and puffing when I ask her I want to send some money abroad. What happened to good customer service!! Sounds like she can’t be bothered to do her job”
“I ordered a shed in January which was delivered in February, the doors were too small but an easy fix so did not complain, however, at the beginning of may it started to fall apart and at this point in time there are several loose split slats on the back panel, frayed wood on the framework and one of the doors has split and shards of wood have fallen off. Suffice to say it is no longer watertight.
I have been back and forth with RD since May and apart from the first few emails I have had different names on their returning emails and lots of quoted legislation that fits their narrative of what their responsibilities are. I even emailed them a letter given to me by trading standards and again received their own version of legislation, the result is I have had to accept replacement back panel and right hand door as they have refused to refund me the cost or replace the whole shed even though they stated that the shed was not viable for repair!
Stay away from this company!”
“Horrible customer service all round. I made a typo on the online order so my email address was wrong. In trying to get them to let me know the order number and delivery date I had to send several emails and phone them. They can save this issue by doings what others do and get you to insert your email twice!
Then the info given to me for tracking was not recognised by Tufnells. So no tracking possible.
Then the delivery of a BBQ was done by a lady plus a 5yr old with no equipment. She naturally could not move the box because of the weight. Somehow she dragged the box off the van, moved it onto the shared driveway by upending it. When she knocked on the door my wife tried to help but all they could do was move it out of the way of vehicles.
When assembling the next morning surprise surprise it was damaged. Now 24hrs later still no response from Robert Dyas.
Over the last three years I have bought dozens of things online fir work and home and thus is the worst service of all!”
“Avoid at all costs aufull customer services just put you on hold emails take 72 hours for a response so every time they ask a question adds further 72 hours so complete complaint has taken 3 weeks and still not resolved
Go else where absolutely awful”
“I wish I had read these reviews before I ordered. I ordered a sun lounger, which I opened but did not use straight away and when I went to use it I noticed that a bar was loose. I have contacted them and told me because it’s after 72 hours they will do nothing so I will now being taking the matter up with my credit card company: I certainly don’t expect to pay over £100 for a sun lounger and it is faulty: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AS SUPPLY SHODDY ITEMS AT TOP PRICE”
“I have just had two garden chairs delivered and on the cushion of one there is a white sticky mark. I have e-mailed your customer services and there answer was we will get
back to you in 72 hours which means I cannot use the chair I paid for until they decide to get back to me. I have used Robert Dyas many times but their service is unacceptable.”
“Will never order online from Robert Dyas again. My money went out very quickly but still waiting for my order to be dispatched, even though it should have arrived before today! Customer service non existent, tried 5 times today, on hold 30 minutes each time , tried live chat..totally useless!! NOT a happy customer!”
