Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the delivery service, citing frequent issues such as incorrect items being sent, delays, and items being delivered to the wrong address or not at all. The ordering process also received strong negative feedback, with people reporting incomplete orders and long waiting times for items that were promised sooner. Customer service was widely criticized for being unhelpful, difficult to reach, and making unfulfilled promises. However, some people were satisfied with the staff, finding them helpful and professional, particularly in-store. A few other people also felt that some products were good quality and arrived well-packaged, though there were also instances of products arriving damaged or with missing parts.

Repeated Errors, Inaccurate Stock, and Zero Follow-up on Refund

I have had a ridiculous and frustrating experience trying to obtain EcoFuel Oak logs (Order # 1061600038) from the Liffey Valley store and B&Q's online delivery service.

First, I wasted considerable time driving to the Liffey Valley store twice because B&Q's website incorrectly stated the Oak logs were in stock. On both occasions, only briquettes were available, and staff members were unable to help.

Consequently, I placed an online order for delivery. The first delivery on March 31st was the wrong product (briquettes instead of logs), which I returned. The rescheduled delivery arrived very early in the morning on April 3rd, at 7:20, but it was still the wrong product (briquettes again). Adding insult to injury, the driver did not ring the doorbell and left the products on the doorstep in the rain.

I requested a full refund on April 3rd. On April 6th, I received an apology and was told a return request was raised with the Liffey Valley store, and I could expect contact within 48–72 hours. However, I received no response from the store. As of April 16th—ten days after the promise—I still have no contact and no refund.

I have wasted considerable time and money trying to obtain a product that B&Q claims to stock but has been unable to provide. The lack of resolution or follow-up is unacceptable.

Delivery is shocking bad

Delivery is shocking bad, will 💯 never order anything for delivery again.. ordered a triple ladder 3 weeks ago and still waiting. And this is a company trying to attract trade customers. They won't be getting me back.

I recently purchased a 3×3 mt Gazebo for my garden - it was delivered exactly on the date agreed 14th April despite the fuel shortage and roads blockages. The two chaps were so friendly. Well done B&Q
I'm very impressed and 💯 happy 😊

Agressive rude staff

Awful store(Mahon, Cork), staff treat customers like dirt, I witnessed a garden centre staff member agressively verbally abuse and talk down to an elderly man today just because he had to go for bar codes for items on the man's trolly. He came back without all the barcodes and had to go off again. The poor man was waiting for about 40 minutes to purchase his items and in the end had to leave without them. Its not that man's fault that B&Q don't have barcodes on their products. The man was parked in a disabled parking space, perhaps he wasn't able to wait due to ill health. The elderly man graciously thanked the girl at the till for her help before he left the store without his purchases. I myself had a similar experience a few weeks ago and I know that other people have also had a poor experience at this store.
I'll personally never shop there again!!

Every single time I order a click and collect item and it tells me its ready, I show up and after 10 - 20 minutes someone shows up with it on a trolley. Once or twice I had to help staff find the item in the store. When I get a message telling me its ready for click and collect that means it is meant to be there. B&Q Liffey Valley is an atrocious store to shop at.

Very poor

Did a click & collect order for 2 different products. One was on 3 for 2, the other 4 for 3. Got a confirmation that the order was ready but some items were unavailable. Turned out they only had 2 of the “3 for2” and 2 of the “4 for 3” so ultimately they offers weren’t honoured. Can’t cancel a click & collect order so had to wait 7 days for it to auto cancel

Floor staff are very helpfull but...

Floor staff are very helpful and I would have given a 5 star rating but for the difficult customer voucher setup. I was given a customer card recently, which resulted in me being credited with 5 euro as a new customer. But no joined up thinking is involved with this process. Instead of having my credits being credited to my loyalty card, I have to get a PC and a printer and print off a paper voucher for all credits awarded, which is a big big waste of paper, ink and time. Also credits aren't cumulative. If you have say 2 credits like one for 5 euro and another for 3 euro as I currently have, I have to get both printed but can only use one voucher per visit. Come on B&Q, I know you can do better than this to streamline you great customer experience.

Good in store, terrible online

I'm giving them 3 stars as they are a good store and have everything....if you visit in person.

However, don't order anything online, as this is the second time I did a click and collect and they took my money, then cancelled the order.

Multiple mistakes with kitchen orders & refunds

Recently decided to update B&Q kitchen at B&Q Waterford (only open about 6 months) with new doors, end panels, plinths, pelmets etc. Multiple mistakes (wrong items sent, items delayed, items sent to wrong address & marked delivered, incorrect or missing delivery information), leading to repeated reorders and substantial delays. Also over-charged on mistaken replaced items despite being assured there was no cost. Refunds to be processed based on previous mistakes still not processed after weeks and repeated calls. Rarely any followup from store without me having to call.

Nothing offered (future credit, discount or refund on any cost) as remediation or apology.

Not an experience to be repeated, would advise others against ordering kitchens from B&Q Waterford.

AVOID

Ordered few times, EVERY time my order was delivered wrong. I waisted my time and had to spend extra money in order to have the right items on time. Absolutely ridiculous never ordering from this place again.
AVOID.

Mixed experience

Have successfully purchased several items online for delivery and using Click and Collect. However recent negative experience, ordered a ladder, waited a week for delivery, and on the day of delivery the order was cancelled and a Partial refund given, without explanation. Infuriating.

Just go to the store

I ordered a lamp and bulb to go with it. They cancelled the lamp and sent me only the bulb. I then had to drive to the shop and buy said lamp 🙄 The lamp is still showing “home delivery “ when I look it up. Useless!!

To Edit : review is saying “unprompted review “ - no I’ve received emails asking me to do a review!
