B&Q Sofa Delivery - Deeply Disappointed We purchased a sofa based on a strong recommendation and…read moreexpected reliable service from B&Q. Sadly, the delivery experience has been appalling. After receiving an email confirming delivery on the 17th, followed by one instructing us to have £40 in cash ready for the driver, my husband left work to ensure someone was home. Then we received a call from a courier saying the driver wouldn't reach us due to too many deliveries. He promised to call back--he never did. We waited until 11pm with no update and no sofa. We'd already given away our old one that morning, trusting the new would arrive. I've had to take another day off work just in case it comes today. Calls to customer service were cut off twice. No support. No accountability. Just stress and silence. We feel ignored, let down, and frankly shocked by the treatment received. I'm escalating this complaint and urging others to think twice before ordering from B&Q. Customers should never feel this unimportant.

I needed to shop for plumbing items, came here not knowing this was an office not a store…read more I called for an uber and waiting for them to pick me up, but the receptionist and security told me this was a private property and I could not wait inside I was sent to wait outside. It was raining and due to surge in demand, I had to wait outside on the side of the road for 30 mins I know it's peobably part of their job, but I wish they had more compassion

This shop is absolutely amazing! A proper old-fashioned hardware / ironmongers shop that sells…read moreeverything, or pretty close to it - every square inch of space is put to use. I have popped in many times on the off chance that they've got a right handed thingamy-jig or similar, and only once have they been unable to help me (and were seriously apologetic to boot)! This is service as it should be - the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The prices are sensible - only marginally more expensive than B&Q in most cases (and much cheaper overall when you consider that you don't have to drive that far). Absolutely fantastic I can't believe this type of shop still exists, but I'm very glad it does.

This shop is fantastic! I popped in one day looking for a very small chair after trawling round…read moreother shops and searching on the internet. I couldn't find a shop which had the correct size chair to fit under my dressing table and to have it made would have cost megabucks. But... after chatting to the unbelievably helpful man in TBS he said he could get virtually anything made in any size and colour! True to his word my beautifully upholstered bedroom chair arrived 2 weeks later and not costing the earth either! I have been back several times and wouldn't even consider going anywhere else for something special. If you want anything in a particular size-you want great service and you don't want to wait 3 months for it then I can't recommend this shop highly enough.

Ive always found the best thing about shopping at maplins is the approachability of their staff as…read morewell as there friendliness and knowledge on what products they sell. I went in there a couple months back to get a cable for my laptop, not really having a clue, i took the laptop in and showed the guy at the cable desk an straightaway he knew what i needed. I also told him what connections i had on my lcd tv, and he suggested an adaptor. All in all, excellent non pushy environment to shop in and they have loads of stock! prob cheaper to buy stuff like dvdr and hdmi cables off internet stockists.

Maplins is a great store for picking up all those cables and electrical components that you might need. It can be a little expensive at times for the littliest attachments, but for those things you can't find anywhere other the on the internet its very convienient. Staff are usually pretty helpful when you're looking for items. They also stock lots of seasonal items and more gadgets these days, as well as more computer equipment.

I have recently used Stone Arts in Southampton to supply and…read morefit a large amount of granite in my kitchen in Rownhams. I shopped around quite a bit getting quotes and samples from both local suppliers and online suppliers and was so pleased that I came across Rakesh and Stone Arts. In all key areas such as price, quality and professional advice Rakesh was so much better than anyone else I dealt with. Rakesh spent ages talking and advising me and used his considerable expertise to help me make the right decision on what type of granite would look best with the kitchen I had chosen. I went with Star Galaxy in the end and having seen samples of Star Galaxy from other suppliers I couldn't believe the vast difference in quality. Not only did Rakesh have the best quality Star Galaxy he also had it at the best price! Rakesh liaised closely with the person installing my kitchen and gave invaluable advice on how to fit the kitchen so that the weight of the granite would be best supported. When it came to fitting the granite Rakesh and his team arrived promptly, were friendly, tidy and absolute perfectionists. I love that when dealing with Stone Arts you are dealing with the man who owns the business and has incredibly high standards. If he wouldn't have it in his kitchen it isn't going in yours!

It is a lovely store where you can get some great home furnishing ideas, the staff are always keen to give their ideas to. My criticism is they need to clean the store and polish the furniture!!

One is for the cookware and the other is for fireplaces though both shops are connected inside Over 2 floors, I found almost everything to satisfy the enthusiast cook in me. Little individual Le Creuset pots. Nice selection of proper chef's knives. Mustard spoons aka tiny spoons. Small selection of cookbooks. Somehow, I managed to walk out without buying anything though the prices did have a slight effect on that decision However, I dare say that I'll be making more visits here in the future. Now, if they could get in some molecular gastronomy kits and some slate plates, my resistance will definitely be broken.....
