Poor customer service

Firstly we are happy with the design and quality of the Kitchen,but the customer service leaves little to be desired!
We were not told until the day before delivery that our sink would not be sent until the following week. We had text messages advising the date and time the sink would come, waited in on that day but it didn't arrive and we're not told why. Finally managed to get through to customer service only to be told they didn't know when we would get this- not good when you fitter is coming the following week! Thetford store very unhelpful, telling us our only option would be to have the only sink they had available in that store although we had been online and seen our original purchase in 3 other stores and they would not courier it to us, apparently not Wickes policy! We had to source the sink ourselves we had ordered from them at an additional cost, so we are £70 worse off because of their mistake. Also we have 3 unopened boxes of extra panels which we were told these needed to be sent back on delivery if not needed but how are you supposed to know this when they are the ones that measured up.
We have put a complaint in but to be honest have not got very far and just been told " sorry you had a bad experience"
We have already shared our experience with family and friends advising them against using Wickes and we have since gone elsewhere to have our bathroom refitted.

Poor Customer service

Poor customer service can turn a great store into a very bad one .
My experience today was very poor , the staff were stood around chatting and texting, the lady at the till had little to no enthusiasm until I picked up a review card.I found her somewhat rude and not helpful at all.
Much more effort needed or your going to loose customers.

No response to emails

Have had my instalment date changed twice. Was given a delivery date with no consolation. Told them immediately it wouldn't work as I would be away. All communication so far totally ignored.

Design Consultant great but Customer Service needs improvement …

Harry Lawrence was excellent in helping to design our kitchen and we couldn’t be more pleased with the end product. The only criticism we have is the difficulty in resolving issues with customer services which meant a long wait on telephone calls and slow delivery for replacement/new parts.

Customer service is shocking

The recent customer service to resolve the balance of a refund has been totally unacceptable!
I have spent hours on the phone in order to resolve this matter. But, passed from department to department, made promises that have come to nothing to date.
My emails are not replied to, despite being told the matter is being looked at.
The refund for £105.00 was first raised on 27 February 2025 & despite assurances from various departments, I am still waiting. I will call again on 31st March 2025.
It seems I simply being passed from one department to another - shocking.
I've given 2 stars as I have received part refund, otherwise, it would have been 1 star!

REPLY FROM WICKES - Sorry to hear this, its not the level of service we expect...
NO offer to help resolve via pm, so again just not interested that you have my money are you Wickes!!

Finally, had acknowledgement of my refund being available- after so much chasing by me.

I was a bit unsure as to the items that I needed and a young lady member of staff, Kayleigh, was so really helpful to me and everything came to a perfect conclusion.

A great experience due to Harry

We found exactly what we were looking for and were helped by Harry to design our kitchen. We pretty much knew what we wanted, but he expertly put our ideas down onto paper and ordered everything that was needed. Even after our kitchen was delivered and one of the doors arrived a little bit damaged, we spoke to Harry and he sorted us out with a new replacement door without any trouble. He really put us first and did everything possible to make replacing our kitchen as eady and hassle free as possible. Thanks Harry!

Our kitchen has just been finished

Our kitchen has just been finished, we are delighted with the result.
Harry Lawrence from Wickes Thetford did the planning and the kitchen was fitted by Mark.
Everything went smoothly, Mark is meticulous with his work.
