Absolute waste of time

Absolute waste of time. Every time you make an order, there's at least something that is cancelled. You never know when the order will arrive, it's packed oddly and then customer service to resolve issues is non-existent.

Use any other company, when possible.

Rudest online customer service team ever

Missing items and incredibly, unbelievably RUDE UK based customer service team. Extremely bad communication. Great at blaming everyone else. I had to personally chase up not only B&Q but the third party seller and both courier companies. Fiasco from the beginning due to exceptionally poor customer service. Avoid buying anything online from B&Q if you can. I purchased from the Irish site but items were to be shipped from the UK - which was not clear when I ordered them. So check where your items are coming from and if it’s the UK they may never arrive.

Appalling delivery service …

Delivery service is beyond a joke .my item never arrived !!! Numerous calls to customer service who were very helpfull however the problem is with Delivery.!! Their is none!!! in my view .I had an electrician lined up who I ended up having to pay for doing nothing as I had been told many times it would be delivered on certain days. Zero compensation !!!. So unfortunately I won't be shopping there again until they find a " reliable " Delivery service .very disappointed overall !! .

I ordered a few items from B&Q online…

I ordered a few items from B&Q online about a month ago — a full 9mm drywall panel, a drywall saw, a box of drywall screws, and a Keter outdoor storage box. Everything was absolutely perfect. When I arrived to collect my order, all of it was already prepared and waiting on a trolley, which made things incredibly convenient. Checkout was quick and easy, and the staff were genuinely helpful. A smooth, hassle‑free experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience, we bought… we try to buy garden furniture, came defective, waited for 5 days, going to the shop everyday da to get it replaced, told we need to be fast so they don’t sell the ones on same model that they are receiving, the delivery with this furniture never arrived, so we just decided to get a refund, that was in the 7th of April, no refund received yet.
And I’m almost sure that when we gave back the defective furniture they put in back on sale as in few hours there was one available in the website.
I sent a request about my refund this morning, no answer yet.

No customer service - Mahon Cork

Mahon - Cork
So was returning an online purchase - my hands were full with other items i was going to buy and i had a small child with me
i went to the desk by the registers and they called someone in the ear piece to do the online refund- this person must have refused and so they sent me to the person at the very back of the shop with my hands full ( 3 employees were there doing nothing )
) i had to i interrupt their conversation to do my refund and - then was told i had to go back up and queue to purchase the other items
i was carrying a large 4 drawer unit - so went back up and had to again interrupt employees talking to get my items purchased. It so frustrating as a customer to see employees just lounging around - standing by tills but not doing anything
also a quick thought from someone would of said leave your purchases here as u will have to come up again to us maybe a single thought ? or a let me help you with those - two grown men watching me struggle
the shop was so quiet
Left totally annoyed
Customer service is gone
