Went in positive, came out DEPREESSED

This is based on the store in Slough.

The staff have either no customer service training or they don't care. For example, while queued at the Customer Service desk, the staff member was serving another customer (no other staff available or they were doing something else even though I was clearly waiting).

As the customer was on the phone I asked the member of staff, while they were not engaged with the customer but having a non work related conversation with another member of staff, a question. They replied politely but while trying to ask a follow up question they had already resumed their conversation (again not work related) with the staff member they were speaking to before.

Once receiving an answer I went about the store for the items I needed. I was glad that one member of staff actually helped me with another question while I was looking.

When waiting again at the customer service desk with an item I heard a gruff direct voice saying "do you want to pay for that". Not a polite "Can I help you?". The response given to my question had no care or consideration, or empathy and assumed I knew things which I didn't. Rather they said something which felt "yeah, what, here" and expected me to go away and not to bother them.

The staff for the majority appear bored, uninterested as if they don't care about providing any customer service and want to end their life as well as your repeat visit to the store.

Appalling overall apart from the very rare few who actually help. I now will only go to Selco after Wickes and B&Q (or any cheaper store which value their customers).

Management need to educate their staff (as well as themselves) on basic politeness, manners and human interaction. Then re-evaluate their understanding of customer service.

Much improved

There has been a definite change recently, for the better, the staff are more helpful than ever, from offering to help you load the trolley, to offering help to load the van, hopefully it lasts

We had the most amazing experience with Vance who delivered our plasterboard.
We live on a main road and it was no easy mission to get this plasterboard on our patio.
He spend the time and effort to ensure it was an easy job for us to unload off the pallet.

Such helpful staff

Could not find what I wanted, a concrete fence post. Member of staff went into the yard and carried it back to me. I wanted a number of items too large for my car. They agreed to deliver free that afternoon. I explained I would be at work, please just drop on my driveway. When I arrived home my wife informed me that me that they sent her a message confirming their exact time of arrival. On arrival they insisted in carrying the goods into our garage. I could not ask for better service and prices very competitive
