Product is great, though we haven't tested it in cold weather yet to see if it really does warm us up. The only glitch was the delivery was delayed by a couple of days. We were given a specific deliv... See more

I bought grass seed but, despite following all the correct procedure, it has failed to germinate. After I posted my review, B&Q got in touch and gave me a refund - well done!

Helpful as always Its great using the dedicated TradePoint service counters, shame more stores don't have them. The staff are always helpful and avoids the long queues at the tills on busy days.

The product was fine, but price and service are better elsewhere

The product was fine, but I no longer shop at B&Q unless I can't get it anywhere else since they reneged on their price promise for TradePoint of "Always 10% cheaper". I always get 10% off everything at Wickes, and Toolstation and Screwfix are invariably cheaper and offer a quicker service. 2 stars off for that.
Staff in store are also masters at failing to make eye contact or ask if you need help. I had to search the aisles to find someone to man the paint desk to mix my paint. Another star off for that.
Once published, I took a look at it and it stated at the bottom, "Unprompted review". It wasn't. It was in response to the email B&Q sent me asking "Thanks for your recent purchase at TradePoint.
Delivering a great experience is important to us so, we'd love to hear your feedback.
If you have a moment, we'd really appreciate it if you left us a review on Trustpilot here."

I was enticed to sign up under the false pretence that I would receive £50 back if I spent £250 in the first 30 days only to find out that this was not the case. In order to get the £50 off I was required to sign up for the credit account which wasn't mentioned by the in-store rep who got me to sign up. This has led me to feeling deceived and have therefore not used the card.

Very poor customer service from TradePoint

I emailed TradePoint on 5th October to report damage to an item in my delivery, and I’m still waiting for a response. It’s disappointing that I’ve had no update regarding the issue.

I would expect much better customer service and a timely response when reporting a problem with an order. The lack of communication is extremely frustrating and has left me very dissatisfied with the service received.

Very poor experience overall. I hope TradePoint takes this matter seriously and responds to resolve the issue. Wouldn’t recommend.

Got approached by a member of staff whilst shopping. Encouraged to sign up when I told him we were upgrading our house. After signing up and looking into what we had to actually spend, completely irrelevant for us. This wasn't fully explained before taking all my personal details.

I spend over £500 a month as a trader

I spend over £500 a month as a trader. However l do not use BQ purely because its cheaper for me to go else where. BQ dont give an effective discount to encourage my business. I belive an old age pensioner gets more discount than a genuine trader. I don't mind that at all, but you did ask why us traders don't use you if we can help it.

The gentleman on the till was extremely grumpy and said he didn’t want to be there , I had a problem with the pricing and he said he couldn’t do anything about it as that’s what the till said, so I asked to speak to another colleague he sorted it straight away, it made me feel very uncomfortable

First and last time I use trade point

First and last time I use trade point.

I normally use Screwfix or Toolstation but as a carpenter I get 10% off trade point so I thought I would give it a shot.
Went to collect an order from B&Q Peckham and two days after I ordered it still wasn’t ready. It took 40 min and 6 members of staff to resolve and I literally had to walk them to the aisles where the items were located to pick them myself.

Waste of time. Won’t use it again.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced during your visit to our Peckham store. It's disappointing to know that your order wasn't ready despite the wait and that you had to locate the items yourself.

We aim to provide efficient service and clearly, we fell short in this instance. Your feedback is crucial and will help us improve our processes to ensure a smoother experience in the future. We would appreciate another opportunity to serve you better.

Best regards,
The B&Q Social Media Team.
