“We always shop at Wilko and are satisfy with the goods and services in general. A trustworthy brand. The shops refunded us when they really had made mistakes or products have problems. However some young shop assistants have to learn to be more polite!”

“Parcels gone 'missing' via courier, over charged on spray paint "deal", items arrived broken due to lack of adequate interior packaging, parcels arrived partly opened with items missing, small items packed in overly sized, wasteful packaging. Charged for items that were never delivered, the list goes on and on. Made complaints via email, telephone and live chat - no-one was able to help and they is little to no communication within Wilko departments. Over the last 5 or so years, the quality of the service provided by Wilko, both online and in-store has steadily declined, but this year has been markedly worse. Was once a long time advocate for Wilko, not any more. You can only give a company so many chances.”

“having placed a large order it eventually came mostly in one large box with no internal packing so everything was thrown around and knocked together, including a pack of 4 body wash bottles, still together in plastic shrink wrap. One item was not what I ordered so I went to the help section, could not find a phone number and there was no chat, so wrote an email but never had a reply so repeated the process several days later. The chat line was visible, but came up as not available, there was no sign of a telephone number so I had to write yet another email on the form. As I was about to click 'send' I got logged out of my account and had to start again ! Third time lucky the new email was sent, I had confirmation, but am still waiting for a reply.....this business needs to give online customers a much better service when they need to contact someone. No free delivery any more if you spend £100 and you get casual packing and poor options when something goes wrong!”

“When perusing my Wilkos in Sheffield city center. I decided to buy some seeds as they had a massive sign above them saying 70% off. However I did not notice that they were not put through at this price. I was on the self service so did not press enough button to obtain the receipt. When questioning a week later I was told as I had no receipt nothing could be done and the sign did not mean all seeds were 70% off. So always get a receipt to double check your purchases and the prices they advertise them at. Generally over the last 5 years the stores have deteriorated generally looking dirty and unkempt with cages all around the shop floor and mostly empty shelves.”

“I have tried to return pots. The description was incorrect. I thought they were terracotta and not plastic terracotta coloured pots. They will not let you return by post. I do not drive and cannot return via collection as I work up in London and cannot organise a collection. I cannot carry to work either has too difficult/awkward. Very poor service. I have no choice but to post to the Sutton store.”

“I was a long standing customer of Wilko despite the decline (which started about the same time the new CEO came in). I may buy the odd item again from them in store, (not at self-serve), but I will NEVER EVER buy from them online again, and I will NEVER buy from another business that uses Evri (Hermes) to deliver. They failed to deliver on three occasions. On the last occasion they even claimed they had tried to deliver - when I was sat in waiting for them! I'd advise you to think very carefully before buying from them online especially if the delivery is urgent, 'Next Day' to Wilko/Evri means maybe sometime next week, if you are lucky.”

“Ordered online but I cant/dont want to return an item as my nearest Collect+ shop is a 15 mile round trip in a village I never normally go to OR a 20 or more mile round trip to a Wilko store. Moral ... If you order online from Wilkos, first check where your nearest Collect+ store is and dont bother ordering if you have to travel miles to drop off your return parcel. I offered to return the item, paid for myself using my local MyHermes, but Wilkos wont give you an address to return the item to by this method. Sorry, but I wont be ordering from Wilkos again.”
