This review is for the design part of the kitchen process. The installation is still to come.
Tom Iddon was our design consultant and he was excellent from the start - respectful, punctual and helpful throughout, his design ideas were way above the other company's and captured our attention immediately. Well done and many thanks - Amanda!

Wasted day for delivery

Placed a order with Wickes online for a tonne of decorative stones was promised a delivery
Within five days . I was contacted by email from a third party stating delivery would be made on the Thursday between 8 and 6pm.I was informed when I contacted aggsrus the delivery company and informed the delivery would not be made because the driver had gone over their allotted time this was at 4 pm and told to contact Wickes if not happy.Ater waiting half an hour to get through was offered an apology because no one had contacted me and would receive my order before 12pm next day.when explaining I had lost a day waiting for this order and potentially another half day .I was offered no compensation I think it’s completely out of order they are not even offering the delivery cost which I paid shame on you Wickes I am a trade customer but no longer 😤

We are truly sorry to hear about the significant issues you experienced with your decorative stone delivery and the subsequent lack of resolution, Steven. We understand how frustrating it must have been to lose an entire day waiting and then face further delays without adequate compensation. Your feedback regarding the delivery cost and the overall experience is concerning, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We are reviewing our processes to prevent similar situations. - AB

Unhelpful staff

As a keen do it yourselfer I have made many trips to Wickes in Chatham and found them very helpful, especially with lifting and loading heavy goods. Not so in Sittingboure. I asked for advice for the best product to use. I was given the wrong information and a cursory wave of where to go. No offer of help with heavy lifting even though I am elderly. The store was not busy. The product itself, when I chose the correct one, was fine. 17/7 Someone called Dylan has just replied saying sorry about my experience in Chatham store- he didn't read my review correctly, Chatham store was fine. It was the Sittingbourne store I was reviewing!

Above and beyond....

Above and beyond....
I have to say that when you get great service from a National business like Wickes it needs telling! Louie at the Wickes store in East Grinstead was exceptionally helpful when we required a large amount (probably 10x what they ordinarily stock) and made sure that he kept me updated as we progressed the order. He ordered the stock on the Wickes system and made sure the moment the stock landed he let me know. Louie, you're a STAR thank you. You made the difference, keep it up!

I originally ordered paint from Wickes…

I originally ordered paint from Wickes on 30 June. Unfortunately, part of my order was missing, leaving me unable to finish decorating my bedroom.

Over the following weeks, I had to repeatedly chase customer services for updates. I was initially told the courier was being investigated, but after continued chasing I was eventually informed that the missing paint had actually been returned to the Wickes warehouse. I was never proactively told this.

I was asked to provide delivery dates for a replacement, which I did immediately, but my email went unanswered. I also submitted a formal complaint, which received no response. After waiting again with no update, I eventually called Wickes myself. The adviser apologised and arranged for a replacement to be sent.

Unfortunately, even that didn't go to plan. After waiting nearly a month for my paint, the replacement arrived with one of the tins leaking throughout the box. I have now had to contact Wickes yet again to request a refund instead of another replacement because I have completely lost confidence in their ability to fulfil my order correctly.

I understand that delivery issues can happen. My disappointment is with how the situation was handled. At every stage I had to chase for updates, communication was poor, my complaint wasn't acknowledged, and even the replacement arrived damaged.

This has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I've had. I sincerely hope Wickes improves how it communicates with customers and resolves problems, because this should never have taken weeks or required so much chasing.
