The people in store were amazing. The click and collect software wasn’t working for them so they had to think on their feet to locate my order and the lady was positive despite working under pressure.... See more

Was meant to click and collect

Was meant to click and collect. Never received the email saying it was ready to collect. Then received an email saying thank you for picking up your order. Which I had not done. Long story short, no paddling pool for the grandchildren and a drawn out process to possibly get a refund. Not worth the hassle.

Hi Susan, 
Thank you for your feedback. 
I’m pleased we’ve had the opportunity to look into this further and take the appropriate steps to resolve the matter.  I’ve also followed up with you directly via email regarding your click-and-collect order that you did not receive. 
I appreciate that your original experience was frustrating and not what we would have wanted, but I’m grateful you gave us the opportunity to put things right. 
Your feedback has been really valuable in helping us understand where we can improve and I'll make sure the right learnings are shared with the relevant team. 
Thank you again for your patience and for working with us while we resolved this. 

Best wishes, 
Christian

Wasn't aware (make sure you read the small print) homebase is in administration. They refuse to refund money on any item bought on click & Collect. Disgraceful way to treat customers. Would never return.!

Picked up my sink easily

Picked up my sink easily, helpful staff put it in my trolley. Offered help to getting it in the car but I was alright on my own
Simple process, very easy

Click and collect worked really well both online and store. Only issue I had was when had popped in to buy a few days before, the 160 shown as in stock online all turned out to be on a unopened securely wrapped pallet round the back while only a few torn half empty bags remained in the store itself. The same was true of most of the compost etc. area which was a complete mess. So poor start in trying to buy but, to be fair, fully remedied by the click and click thereafter.
