I could not find a a shade of pink paint i needed, and was walking out of store when a lovely polite female member of staff, Alex, offered to help and gave guidance on different shades, helping me choose and then mixed the colour in the machine, I was so grateful for her knowledge and kindness she chatted to me to me about my cake shed project, I left the store a very happy customer 😀
a big thank you Alex you are a credit to Wickes Swansea.

Thursday - Thank goodness for the K app. Who have paused any future payments until this has been resolved.

Wednesday and spend all day replying to 9 emails each asking 1 questions, on information they had already recieved. Now to be told that it needs to go to another dept 🙆‍♀️ I am totally baffled, and emotionally drained. Just collect the item and refund me . Lets see what today brings. I have contacted consumer rights and the CEO

Terrible service I recieved at the Swansea store. I returned an item to store within 5 days tbf for a full refund as it it stated clearly on their website within 30 days. I was told he couldnt refund me because I had purchased online. Which i couldn't understand however I give him the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe the online system and store system maybe are not linked. I then asked for proof that I have left the £120 item at the store and I was told he could not provide me with one. 45mins later He wrote on a blank a4 sheet of paper which I would not accept as evidence that I had left the item in store and was entitled to a full refund. The second person I spoke to who worked on the kitchen design side spoke to me in a patronising manner, where I had to stop him and asked him to not speak to me like that. He then passed me on to a third person Kai who attempted to call customer services. Kai agreed I take the item home and he would ring me at 11am and arranged a free collection from my home address. Kai did not call and I am now on the third day and no one from Wickes has contacted me. The online service was simple and the delivery drivers were so professional and polite. I would highly not recommend Wickes.

Hi, Sarah Jayne. Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. I'm sincerely sorry to learn of your experience in store when returning your item, this isn't the level of customer service we aim to provide. I'm also sorry to see you haven't yet had a call back regarding the collection. I've sent you a request for more information, so I can look into this for you. Thank you again for your feedback. - Scott H

Great staff and great prices

The staff here are really helpful and very friendly. This is important in a large store with a lot of aisles. They always seem to go above and beyond, which is, unfortunately, frequently required. The main issue is stock management. I shop here perhaps five or six times a month. My routine is: look online for products, check prices (generally the best I can find) and branch stock level, then visit. This is where it can get frustrating. Quite often, when something looks to be in stock, it's nowhere to be found on the shelves. Most of the time it turns up in the warehouse or a cage somewhere, but now and again, and after several laps of the store, it fails to materialise. And I'm not talking about products with very low stock levels - the last few hunts involved products indicating 20-plus items.

This is either a management or stock system issue, but shouldn't detract from the work ethic and attitude of the staff. Billy was particularly helpful on the last few stock hunts; he simply wouldn't give up and didn't slope off to another task. (Did the Soudal Souda Bond ever turn up?)

Despite this, I remain a Wickes Swansea fan; for good quality core product, good prices and, more importantly, great staff.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and we're very happy to hear that our team members consistently provide helpful and friendly service. It's wonderful to know that individuals like Billy make such a positive impact on your shopping experience.

We understand your frustration regarding the stock discrepancies you've encountered, especially after checking availability online. It's certainly not ideal to find items missing from shelves when our system indicates they should be present, particularly for products showing significant quantities. We are actively looking into our stock management processes to prevent these situations from occurring. Your insights are invaluable as we work to improve the accuracy between our online stock levels and what's physically available in the store. We are committed to ensuring a smoother and more reliable shopping experience for all our customers. - AB

Great until they've got your money

Prior to paying a deposit they couldn't have been more helpful, from the moment they took a 2k deposit off me they became horrendous. Fault after fault and a really useless customer service team!
Staff were rude and extremely unhelpful. Never again

Brilliant experience

Our meetings with Ania were great. Following the home visit we met to talk through the designs. Ania produced a plan that we loved & was skilful offering great suggestions that we wouldn’t have thought of. We had lots of questions which she answered with knowledge & expertise & talked us through every step of the process with her professional & friendly personality.

An experience to remember!

Wanting help with designing a kitchen, I contacted Wickes in Swansea. Making an appointment was very straightforward, especially for a pensioner like myself.
My wife and I turned up at the allotted time and I was greeted by a design consultant by the name of Anna Lysik. The mention of Anna‘s name is deliberate because she earned all the plaudits I want to give her in not only the work she put in but in her understanding our requirements apparently so easily. Our kitchen was completed in good time, paid for, and on our way feeling very good for choosing Wickes as our supplier. Very good choices available even including the electrical goods in the design.
I would recommend anyone needing this service to use Wickes and in particular this consultant. Thank you all.

Great experience!!

Katie was fantastic—friendly, chatty, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, listening to exactly what I wanted and never pushing anything unnecessary. She advised me on the best ranges and products to get the most from my budget, and made brilliant use of the space.

Excellent experience with wicks

We are having an extention and needed a new kitchen. Katie was amazing she listened to everything. Katie utilised the space amazingly and I love my kitchen design.
I had to bring my children to the appointment ( as you can imagine they were getting fed up). Katie chatted to them and was very polite and understanding. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Katie has provided a very friendly and professional service throughout our home and in store visits.
Having no idea of any designs or preferences at the time, Katie confidently guided us through options and recommended suitable designs, making the whole experience affordable and enjoyable.
Katie would certainly be my recommended choice to anyone who is considering any kitchen / bathroom projects.
