Absolutely brilliant

We have only had our furniture for one day but it looks beautiful and is so incredibly comfortable. I took out the insurance offered and this will ensure i can keep it looking as wonderful as it does now. The whole process was easy and communication was great. The delivery was really good too with both men doing a brilliant job in very warm weather. All round superb customer service and i would absolutely shop at Gillies in Perth again.

Great service

Robert was extremely helpful and guided us through choosing both a mattress and a bed that suited our needs. His knowledge and friendly approach made the whole process easy and stress‑free. I would happily recommend this company to others.

Annoyed that online the Amtico floor…

Annoyed that online the Amtico floor cleaner was in stock. I live in Perth so requested a click and collect service, yet it took a WEEK to receive my goods from store pick up

Reply from Gillies

Hi Shona,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry for the delay you experienced with your click-and-collect order and for the frustration this caused.

To give you some context on what happened, we actually had two of your items in stock at our Perth store, but the third had to be transferred from another location. Unfortunately, the transfer missed our weekly Perth delivery van, which delayed the arrival of your complete order by a week.

We completely agree that our communication should have been much better throughout this process. We are currently reviewing how we handle stock transfers and customer updates to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Apologies again for the delay and thank you for leaving a review.

Regards,

Ross Holder
eCommerce Manager

Good deal on the carpet

Good deal on the carpet, the fitters did a grand job quick and professional.
They arrived late in the day, it seemed to us they had a number of other jobs which had delayed them. Unrealistic programming by somebody.

The whole experience was excellent.

Sales people at the shop were informative and helpful. Having ordered and paid the deposit we were given an accurate waiting time. Arranging delivery was also excellent: we were told the day and then the time of which the delivery would take place. The two delivery men were very polite and professional, and were a credit to the company.
