I had a really good experience when choosing and ordering my new flooring from Gillies. The sales woman Tracy was extremely professional and knowledgeable which helped make my decisions easy and stress free. The carpet fitters were extremely professional too. They even removed all the rubbish and hoovered up before they left. I would definitely recommend this store and purchase from them again.

Disappointed with customer service and lack of communication and a 5 month wait for goods. Very good quality when they did arrive and some staff were very helpful. I understand delays happen but we were told 6 weeks not 5 months.

Reply from Gillies

Hi Ms. Learmonth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you are pleased with the quality of your new furniture and that our team was helpful during your interactions.

At the same time, we sincerely apologise for the extended 5-month wait and the lack of communication regarding the delay. We know how frustrating it is to expect an order in 6 weeks and end up waiting much longer.

While recent global supply chain disruptions have created unexpected delays outside our usual control, we hold ourselves to high customer service standards and should have kept you much better informed throughout the process.

We appreciate your patience and your honest feedback, as it helps us improve our communication systems for the future. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Ross Holder,
eCommerce Manager
