Magic Magnetic Door Mesh Black Anti Bug…
Magic Magnetic Door Mesh Black Anti Bug Insect Fly Curtain Screen.
Utter rubbish, may as well buy it and throw it in the bin on your way home, saves the stress… it’s useless.
The magnet holders just fall apart and cannot be fixed back together.
The magnets are not strong enough to hold.
It doesn’t stay stuck to the little sticky holders.
A slight breeze and it just falls apart.
We are constantly told about a throw away culture but this is why, shops buying in and passing on garbage that is only fit for the dump.

Absalute discusting service
Purchased new gazebo cover from QD as I have done every 2 years since having it. new one arrived waited to fit it when it finally stopped raining found top vent cover had been made wrongly and would not fit on 4th fitting.
have tried calling customer services 3 times and just kept getting phone cutting off after about 3 minutes tried there live chat system 5 times leaving email and phone nubers on both and have not had one reply or phone call from QD stores.
Absalutly discusting customer service and rude that they hang up on you and do not call you back would not reccomend buying anything from them or buying from them myself.

Good day,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the issues you've had with your gazebo cover — that’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers.
Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to locate any correspondence under your name, and we’d also like to clarify that we do not operate a live chat service.
We apologise for any confusion and understand how frustrating this must have been for you.
We’re currently experiencing a high volume of enquiries as it is our busiest season, but we are absolutely committed to making this right for you. Please could you reach out to us using the Contact Us enquiry form on our website, or alternatively providing your email address? Be sure to include your order number and a explain the issue, and a member of our team will assist you further as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention — we want to make this right.
Kind regards,

Terrible returns policy. You may not get your money back as the each way postage may be more than the value of the goods.
Terrible returns policy. I spent £25 on an item which is not fit for purpose and £7.99 postage. They now refuse to pay return postage. I will no longer be shopping either online or in store and will take my custom elsewhere.

Good day,
We're really sorry to hear about your experience — it's never the outcome we want for any of our customers. We always aim to help wherever we can.
Looking into your ticket, it seems the reason provided was that the item wasn’t what you expected, rather than it being unfit for purpose. Based on that information, the agent handling your case classified it as an unwanted purchase, which falls under a different part of our returns policy.
That said, we genuinely want to resolve this for you. If you respond to the same agent and provide a bit more detail about why the item was not fit for purpose — especially if you have any photographic evidence — they’ll be able to reassess the situation and assist further.
We do hope we can turn this around for you.
Kind regards,

Useless website which when you do a search come up with hundreds of other items, an utter waste of time, thus we will never shop there.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. Our search function is designed to show relevant results, including similar items, in case the exact product you’re looking for isn’t available. However, we appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to our team for review.
It’s disappointing to receive a low rating solely based on website navigation, especially as our dedicated customer service team, warehouse staff, and supply chain work hard to ensure a smooth shopping experience. We’d love the opportunity to improve your experience—if you have specific concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Superstar Service & an Ottoman of My Dreams
I’ve had the most wonderful service from QD Stores in Norwich (Anglian Square branch).
I was looking for an Ottoman with storage and had seen a great one in there yesterday but didn’t buy it because I wanted one that was brand new and boxed, not one that had been tried and tested on the Shop Floor. Went home and after much Googling and endless searching, I realised that the one in QD was actually a great price and superior quality compared to the one’s available in other stores and online outlets.
I called the Store, spoke to - Kerrie (Kerry) and Ed - they were Superstars. Helpful, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient in checking whether my chosen item was still available. They went out of their way to double-check their Warehouse facility and get me a brand new, boxed Ottoman so I highly recommend them and QD Stores.
There was another lady of Asian descent, but I didn’t get her name but she was also super helpful. The Store is an absolute treasure trove of so much - food, pet accessories etc., home wares, car accessories, stationery, toys, rugs, small electricals, furniture, garden items, clothes, storage containers and so much more. It’s lovely for a “mooch around” but you are bound to buy all manner of things as the prices are so good.

Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit!

just purchased a bargain sofa
just purchased a bargain sofa at Hadleigh, Suffolk store, quite helpful staff on the floor and young lad helped me to transfer it to my car, but the manager likes to show off and is quite cocky to staff and customers which I have witnessed and experienced myself on a few occasions like once during covid after I had spent well over £500 pounds on garden stuff she barked at me in front of customers when another staff member let me through another door that wasn't being used due to covid restrictions. Good store but manager needs to wind her neck in, lose the attitude and stop gobbing off to her staff and customers like she's the best thing since sliced bread, when all she is at end of day is just an employee. Other than that, its a good store, just the manager needs to have her wings clipped and be put in her place by her boss thats all. I am not the only customer that has these concerns.

Poor treatment in Cafe Smile at QD
Went to the store event today and thought we would have a meal at the cafe smile there as we had heard the food was good. Got to the front of the queue at 5 minutes to 3pm and were told that there was no more hot food as the kitchen was closed. Checked on the menu which states that they stop serving good at 3pm. Not impressed do not know why we were turned away but will not bother going there in the future. In my view just shows poor customer service and put a damper on the rest of the visit to the shop.

Outstanding service Mary Ellen at Gorleston store
Huge thank you to Mary Ellen at Gorleston store - couldn’t have been more understanding and helpful when I needed to exchange a faulty kettle on behalf of my elderly mum. She went the extra mile to source the right code and other staff very friendly; ‘nothing too much trouble’ Thank you so much.

I purchased a £12.99 electric kettle.Used for 2 months.Then 2 days ago it blew the electrics.
The electrician told me that the kettle was faulty and that I should return it for a refund
I did this and after some exchanges of views I was given my refund.
Very poor quality product and poor customer service.

Zero Communication
Ordered two items online on 11th October paying "Express" delivery (meaning one week!!) . Seven days later and no sign of delivery as items not even despatched. Reason being ----- not in stock. It took my investigation to ascertain this, as no contact from QD, when would they have decided to inform me? Their excuse, items are despatched directly from manufacturer so between them, no contact with customer. Order cancelled and won't be using this online company again. Items still being advertised!!!!
