Somehow this last visit seemed different, there was less catching my eye. Perhaps because it’s in between seasons or a delay with stock. I love Dunelm so hopefully my next visit will be different.... See more

Firstly I love Dunelm one of my…

Firstly I love Dunelm one of my favourites.
The reason I have gave 3 stars this time is...try contacting dunelm customer services, their online forum does not give me an option that is relevant to me, so try live chat oh dear is all I can say about that.
So last option was to telephone but unfortunately the wait time was to long.
My reason for wanting to speak to them is about the company they use..ie InPost UK for their deliveries.
I would prefer a customer could have a choice in which delivery companies they can use. So sorry dunelm I really did try to speak with a customer service staff about this.

Poor service

Ordered a rug, arranged delivery for 2 weeks later. Courier confirmed delivery, then email sent from Dunelm 2 hrs before delivery to state item didn’t get to couriers on time. Very disappointing in the service.

Three weeks and no resolution

I ordered a dining table, chairs, side board and ladder shelf unit 3 weeks ago. The sideboard and half of the ladder shelf have never been located. The other items were all faulty. I've requested that they are all collected on the same day. Dunelm say this cannot be done so they booked for them to be collected on different days. I am disabled and they are aware of this. I had a medical appt on one of the days they had arranged for one of the collections and a support appt with a charity for one of my conditions on the other. They haven't cancelled those collections and they still haven't arranged for these faulty items to be collected despite requests through their webchat and email service.

TERRIBLE customer service …

The Customer Service of this company has been terrible and very unsympathetic. On two separate occasions, I have had to wait in between 7am -9pm for a collaboration that never happened. On the second different firm that we’re meant to collect, they were meant to give a two hour spot but failed to do so. The response from Customer Service was you can take it to your local Post Office or try again for Collection. Will never use this company again and suggest beware of expecting a customer friendly way of being treated.

Found everything that I was looking for with help from the friendly staff. Loads of choice especially bed linen.
One of my items wasn’t in stock but a staff member (sorry, can’t remember his name) looked it up and ordered for me on his iPad.

Made to measure blinds

I ordered 4 made to measure blinds that I had delivered to store due to being away on holiday… when they arrived 1 was damaged and had to be reordered. I was informed by email and told I’d have to wait 2 weeks again. 3 weeks later after hearing nothing I chased the blind up to see if it had arrived, they told me someone would find out and call me back. Fast forward a week and still no call, so I chased it up again to be told yet again they would look into it. Someone did ring me back to tell me the place where the blinds were made now wanted photographic evidence of the damaged blind and my blind would not be arriving for another 2 weeks. Basically I don’t believe the blind had been re ordered at all. The customer service was poor. I had to do all the phone calls and chase up a situation that wasn’t my fault. I will however be returning all 3 blinds and wanting a full refund.
I would not advise anyone to use this service.

If I could leave zero stars

If I could leave zero stars, I would!

I visited my nearest Dunelm store, around 15 miles away, because I wanted a specific item that I couldn’t find anywhere else.

When I arrived, I was told by a member of staff that the item was not in stock and was only available online and in larger stores.

I drove home and ordered the item online for Click & Collect. Within 30 minutes, I received confirmation that my order was ready to collect from the very same store!

So, clearly, the item must have been in stock all along, despite being told otherwise.

I then tried calling the store on at least 20 occasions to confirm that my order was ready and that the correct item had been allocated, given what I had previously been told. Not once did anyone answer the phone.

I contacted Head Office, who told me they would contact the store and get back to me. They never did.

I therefore had to make another 30-mile round trip to collect the item — and, unsurprisingly, it was exactly the item I had ordered.

I subsequently contacted Head Office again to make a formal complaint. I was told someone would get back to me.

Five weeks later, I’m still waiting.

The item itself is great, but the customer service I received from both the store and Head Office has been absolutely appalling. This has to be one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had.

Dunelm really needs to look at how it treats its customers and, more importantly, how it handles complaints.
