Had what I needed and helpful staff

The store had what I needed at a better price than competition. There was some minor issues because the store was being changed around internally. However tracy was there to help and finding our products in the holding area.

I recently visited your store to purchase some tiles for my kitchen. I had a style in mind that I wanted as I'm going for the country cottage kitchen look. I was approached by a staff member, Ryan, who helped me decide which would be best for what I was looking for. He helped me every step of the way even going above and beyond to take them to my car after putting through my purchase at the tills. Excellent customer service!

Kitchen Failure

We ordered a kitchen from Wickes - for us it was pretty pricey (around the £5,000 range)

Three things went wrong.
1. They failed to design the kitchen with enough units. Meaning we had to last minute go and buy an extra unit.

2. The renders we approved failed to highlight or show the irregular gap between one side of the extractor fan and the units. When you're spending the best part of 5k - this should have been highlighted in the renders.

3. They added unnecessary items to the order that weren't needed, and then rejected to provide a refund for the items they decided to add to the order - as it was over 30 days since we ordered and fitted the kitchen.

I'm generally quite relaxed with minor issues. But this is Wickes and we paid £5k for a kitchen. At £5k I expect everything to be flawless. And the fact they won't refund items that weren't needed is disgusting behaviour for such a big company.

I actually work in refurbing properties. I ordered a Selco Kitchen for a fifth of the price and they even offered a refund on some unnecessary items 1 whole year after I actually bought the kitchen.

Companies need to learn how to treat customers. I for one have ordered my last Wickes Kitchen.

All we wanted was a refund on the unopened and undamaged items that they decided we needed. It seems Wickes doesn't seem to have any people with a brain that understands common sense.

Great kitchen design

We had a kitchen designed by Julie Johnson from the Oldham store and were delighted with what was provided. Julie was very thorough, gave detailed advice whilst taking on board what was important to us and took time to show us all of the various options available. At the conclusion of the meeting we had total confidence in the design provided as all alternatives had been considered.

Great work

I had a great experience designing my kitchen with Simi Daniel at the Oldham store. She supported me all through the process.
Simi will never get tired of any customer. I gave her a good recommendation.

A very knowledgeable and personable agent. Julie was so helpful.
Great ideas but listened to our needs. Offered solutions and alternatives.
There was no rush and lots of opportunities to discuss and try different ideas.
Thank you.

Go Elsewhere :(

Our experience of what passes for customer service at Wickes was awful. Save yourself and DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER! You may strike lucky and get decent staff on your team, but our experience has been really, really poor and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

My fiance and I had our kitchen fitted and supplied through Julie at Wickes 3 years ago. I went into the store 3 weeks ago at 6 pm to see Julie to discuss designing a new bathroom. I had just missed her. I rang up the following day 3 weeks ago asking for Julie who was unavailable and left my phone number to discuss a new bathroom. I was told Julie would call me back.24 hours later we had not had the call so my fiance nipped in to be told by Julie's colleague Julie has your fiancee's phone number and will call her back. The call has never occurred and therefore we won't be asking Wickes to design our new bathroom which is a dissapointment following our previous experience with your store

Unreliable and disorganised

I booked an appointment online which was shortly followed by a phone call from Julie Johnson at Oldham branch to say she can’t do 5pm as we requested would 10.30 be ok I said 11 am would be fine so she booked us in.
On the day it got to 11.15 and no sign of her so I checked my email to see another confirmation of 11.30 which had been altered without discussion.
We had several appointments today and are very busy people and as this first impression has been very poor I won’t be considering Wickes alongside the other competitors now. In an already crowded market place with lots of choices you would think they would value customers enquiry’s, in my opinion if they can’t keep an appointment for a design visit it leaves me with very little confidence in the rest of the services.
