Refusing a sale

I visited the bangor store to get a couple of tools for a gardening job. I was sold the small hand held tool but they wouldn't sell me the extendable pole chainsaw as it was a display model and as they were in administration they couldn't guarantee getting more in. I thought that the main priority during administration would be to sell as much stock as they can and increase revenue prior to closing. But to refuse a sale of a hundred pounds is beyond me.

Easy browsing, searching and ordering online.

It was extremely easy to find the items I needed online, find my nearest store and see that things were in stock there for collection. The checkout process was easy. My only niggle is that I didn’t get an immediate email confirming the order after checkout. It said I would receive an email telling me when the order was ready, so I was checking my email every 10 minutes. I couldn’t follow up the order in the app because I hadn’t received an order confirmation email so I didn’t know the order number. After almost an hour, I was just about to call the store to find out the status of the order when I noticed I’d received a text message telling me it was ready. So just this one niggle, I was expecting an email but actually got a text message.

Excellent Customer Service.

Excellent customer service from a staff member called Mark in your Bangor store. I wanted to purchase large size washing powder and approached Mark to ask where I could locate it. On checking the stock, he told me that the store didn't have the product, but checked other stores to try to locate what I was looking for. Mark was approachable, knowledgeable, very pleasant and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble and I didn't feel that my query was insignificant. Although I had to travel to another store to purchase the product, I am a very satisfied customer at the excellent customer service I received from Mark.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - CUPRINOL FENCE PAINT

Picked up order of Cuprinol fence paint . Rejected as tin of paint looked to have been opened with paint smeared on side. Asked for a replacement . There was only one other and it had a broken handle so could not be picked up. I rejected both am awaiting notification of when a replacement will be available . Although the member of staff was helpful this should not have been offered for sale . A wasted journey.

2 very pleasant guys helped us

2 very pleasant guys helped us. One in Customer Care and then the second guy brought the heavy tiles to my sister's car and loaded them in for us. He was extremely pleasant and helpful. Thank you 😊

Very pleasant staff at counters.

Staff always very attentive and pleasant.
The store is usually well stocked.
The roof would need fixed as a lot of buckets around the store to catch the rain water.
