Rubbish Top Soil

Purchased 3bags of their Top Soil a few weeks ago and I was happy with it so I went and purchased 1 more bag, same store, same Top Soil, absolute crap, full of stones and bits of wood, yes the soil was lump free but it definitely wasn't rubbish free. Won't being buying any more.
I don't know what is happening with this company, I stopped buying their own brand white emulsion as it was like painting with water and now this crappy soil. It's like buying something once and it's great but the minute you follow up buying more it turns into trash. No more.

If you’re transforming your garden and aren't exactly sure what you want, this is the place to go.
A big shout-out to Gemma from the Huntingdon Wickes store—she really knows her stuff and knows how to help a customer.
She helped me choose the gravel color and handled the payment quickly and without any stress.
The whole visit took maybe 15 minutes.
I left very happy! I highly recommend it—Thank you

Needed to buy 4 x 5 Litres Barrettines Wood Protecter Treatment. Total £160 + £5 postage. Looked online for a Discount Code to use - found several - but none worked. Phoned Wickes spoke to a Scottish guy- explained and asked for 10% discount for first time buyer. Answer was No. Asked for free delivery - Answer was No.- Ok so I looked around online and found Wood Finishes Direct and found exact same product for £117 with free delivery !
Shop around !!

Lies about Delivery and Refund

I ordered bags of cement and sand from Wickes and was told via text by their delivery company that my order would arrive the next day. The delivery never turned up. Instead, I received the same promise every day for the next five days, with no delivery and no explanation.

After five days of waiting, I cancelled the order. Eighteen days later, I'm still chasing my refund.

This has been an incredibly frustrating experience from start to finish. Poor communication, broken delivery promises, and an unacceptable delay in issuing a refund. Based on my experience, I would never trust your money with these scam merchants.

Tiles

I bought some tiles back in June this year. I needed to return 3 packs of them as i ordered too many. Since the 3rd July I have been trying to get them to come for them and give me a refund. Now today I've spoken with a lovely lady from customer service and she has said that the supplier will not come for them as its past my 30 days . I explained to her it is now but I've rang every other day to get these sent back and no one has done anything about it, its not my fault the 30 days have expired. So now I'm not entitled to a refund and its over 140 pounds. Im disabled and live on my own its ridiculous how they treat people. I've asked for a manager to ring me as im taking this further, but I know I won't get a call .so it will be legal advice I need. And to the person who reads this and asks for more information to get this sorted dont bother as im still waiting for your company to sort out my bathroom carry on.

Waste of my damn time

2 days prior our time was moved from 11 to 10, which was fine.
Met our designer, chatted, he then said he needed to make a call and abandoned us, came back 10 minutes later, showed him our pick but I was confused as it said it was gloss and the sample was matt, he said it comes in matt and took us to his desk. All 3 of us squeezed round it. Took our measurements and then questioned if they were correct twice. Took my phone with pictures and left it on his side of the desk. Designed the kitchen but didn’t ask us for input on anything he put in. Designed the exact same kitchen I had in a different colour which is not what I wanted. Tried to save it and deleted the whole thing. Had to sit while he redid the whole thing. People behind us were offered coffee which we weren’t. Trying to save the 2nd one and there was issues, he then tried to call his colleague and multiple times couldn’t get through. Still couldn’t get design to save. Left and spoke to manager and realised our choice has been discontinued and is no longer an option. Massive waste of my time.

We are truly sorry to hear about your incredibly frustrating experience during your recent visit. The issues you've described, from the designer's conduct to the technical problems and the ultimate discovery of a discontinued product, are certainly not the service we aim to provide. We understand this was a massive waste of your time and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We are looking into this to prevent similar occurrences and we have requested further information to have this looked into. - Sean

5 star service

From the start of the consultation right through to the order, Katie listened to our requirements and delivered an amazing plan of our future kitchen. Katie also offered sound professional advice on “what’s best” for our particular project and showed examples enabling us to visualise the suggestions and decide with ease.
I can’t rate Katie highly enough and just wished all companies had a “Katie” who is customer centric.

Excellent return experience!

Bought a toilet seat from Wickes and attempted to fit it, however there was a manufacturing error and it needed returning. Went in store and Sean returned this item despite having taken off the plastic wrap due to the manufacturing error, excellent service!
