Rude customer service

Was served by Josh today who was in need of assistance by another member of staff named Dawn. The way Dawn spoke to me I found unacceptable. The other person I was with advised Josh he needed to go get his wallet out the car and he said that’s fine. When she came over her tone of voice was very abrupt and rude saying “where’s he going”. I advised her how many pieces of wood there was and her reply was “well I still need to find the barcode” she then abruptly asked if the pieces of wood on the trolley were the same. I feel that if you are going to be working in a customer service role especially dealing with the public face to face then you need to have a level of professionalism and Dawn did not provide that.

No delivery of Kitchen-avoid

I started planning a kitchen with Wickes in January, confirmed design in February to which I was told items could be changed up to 16 days before delivery. Delivery was arranged in March for 6th August delivery. 6th August comes, I call customer services and they advise that when items were changed the designer failed to rebook delivery, so there was no delivery date for my kitchen! They advise the next delivery date is in a week and nothing else they can do. Call store, promised a call back to see if they could arrange an earlier delivery. No call back, I'm having to call the store. Lady is busy with customers, will call me back. In the meantime I receive a call from "customer services" to now advise that the double oven on my order is out of stock. They will replace as close as possible for the same price I was paying. Upon looking into it the replacement was 2 specs lower and I was expected to pay the same price as the higher spec oven, call back and advise I won't be paying that, nothing they can do I have to go to store and discuss with them. Wickes Customer service and store pass the buck between eachother, no one takes ownership. Email a complaint to "customer services" about the whole non delivery and what were they going to do about it as it impacts on plans made, again was told nothing to do with them, go and complain in store, bit difficult when the lady who promised to call me back from store is too scared to talk to me. No point complaining on social media as Wickes hide these comments! So where do we go from here Wickes? I would rename your "Customer Services " department to "bookings department " as all they can seem to do is make bookings for things and not provide any other useful service.
I'm sure I will be adding another review next week when parts of my kitchen order fail to turn up!
I will NEVER order from Wickes again.

Just to add, re the reply from Wickes, Sorry is not good enough, still nothing being done about it to put things right. Appalling "customer service"

How could they get it so wrong?!

How could they get it so wrong?!
Delivery 1 was dumped on the lawn, Delivery 2 didn't even turn up(nobody even called to let me know)! Delivery 2 was eventually rearranged when I had to visit a local store but I spent so much time waiting in, when they seem to only arrive at the end of the half day time slot, very poor service.

Bathroom design

Rebeca at Wickes Harlow had so much patience with us, initially arriving with no idea of what we wanted and then constantly changing our mind! We were really impressed with her ideas, design and colour matches. We are thoroughly looking forward to our bathroom being installed.

Staff are very helpful

We are undergoing a house renovation and we’re trying to look for a new kitchen. Emma in the showroom was very helpful and helped us understand the process from start to finish. She was able to answer all of our questions. We are still weighing up our options, though I’m sure we will be back soon once we have made our mind up on the 2 styles we liked.
