“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.”

“Brilliant over and above service by Claire in Cwmbran shop We are elderly disabled Cancer sufferers Trying to get a certain colour of furniture paint to complete a recycle furniture project sold out online She rang local Wilko shops and found exactly what we needed and arranged for it to be kept for us Service like we got from Cwmbran and lovely Claire is rare in retail these days and Pontyool shop was equally accommodating We both left with a big smile Thankyou so much Great company lovely staff Never patronised us”

“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.”

“Received a broken wooden garden fence as I wasn’t in on its arrival, despite expecting an email to confirm delivery time. Therefore couldn’t refuse delivery. Sent damage photos and suggested a compensation refund and received a satisfactory amount. ( fence could be turned around despite damage) Communication was very good, if initially slow to begin with. Thank you for the resolution Wilko. Always been a fan of the brand and admire customer service in this instance. Only gave four stars due to the broken gate in the first place.”

“I always shop in wilko, buy now nearly all the tills are now self serve and the only one till left to be served by a assistant who was really quite reluctant to serve me until I said I would just leave my shopping and go else where. There are some of us that still liked tto be served by a member of staff”

“Checkout in store is a customer service joke. Wanted to pay cash in the Leigh store, in a queue for 10 minutes while the only open cash till was dealing with 2 separate returns. All the while another assistant was shouting " Anybody paying with card use this till" Really annoying C B”

“Went into your store in Preston this morning, only wanted some dog dental chews for a pound, was told to wait in a long queue, only one lady serving, and one at the self service till, where you can only pay my card, doing nothing, ask her if she could take the pound , said no, ridiculous all them tills on a Saturday morning and no one on them, I wasn't going to wait in a long queue, just for one item, had to get to work, what's the point in having staff stood there doing nothing and getting paid and expecting customers with card to serve themselves, they are not self service tills, use to shop in your store alot, but not any more.”
