The tongs are not very robust and quite pliable while the metal clip that holds them together is redundant. The other tools seem OK but haven’t used them yet.

I needed to buy some lawn seed locally, but a search on line revealed that it was not available in other stores. Robert Dyas however got it to the local store same day! Which was excellent service.

Placed an order for click and collect…

Placed an order for click and collect at my local store on 5th October. I got an email to say it would be ready by 10th . I’m still waiting, I’ve had no email to say it’s ready to collect, and I’ve tried phoning customer services a few times, no one’s picking up the phone.

Awful Experience – Sold a Used Bed as New

I purchased a new X Rocker Basecamp bed, but what arrived was clearly used. It had rust, scratches, worn threading, and to make things worse, the headboard was completely wrong.

When I contacted customer service, their “solution” was to collect it, send it back to the supplier, and wait for a response — leaving my autistic son to sleep on the floor in the meantime. Completely unacceptable.

I asked if they could just replace the headboard, but got the same unhelpful response. In the end, I went to Argos, paid £30 more, and got a brand new, proper product.

I ended up binning their cheap, used rubbish. Never again — avoid at all costs if you actually expect new, quality furniture or decent customer service.

AVOID!!!!

AVOID!!!!

I was scammed of £260. I paid for next day delivery and my parcel was constantly delayed. Customer services were rubbish, they could not get their story straight, told several lies e.g: DHL are delivering your parcel then they said EVRI. They would give me a delivery date then DHL would provide a different date. Robert Dyas Customer service told me DHL don’t deliver on weekends so I needed to wait until Monday however, they said the first attempt to deliver was on a Saturday.
My order number was not valid, my tracking number was not valid, my mobile number was not valid and my email address was not valid.. this company is a complete scam!! Please beware of this site!

When I ordered online (01 October)…

When I ordered online (01 October) items the web page said "order now pick up tomorrow" when my order was confirmed it said 08 October. Then order shipped (only two of the four items) , then another update said four items shipped. No way of tracking order on line. Called into shop On 8th still not arrived. Assistant then looked store room,item was there. Asked for a bag or string to enable me to carry boxes, told they had no bags or string ( dont believe that). All in all a very poor online transaction. Offered 5% off next online order, won't be ordering again so of no value.

Medium Sized Frying Pan

I went looking for a medium sized frying pan. There was a good range in my local shop and the assistant was helpful with some advice, and asked if I wanted to use my points towards the cost.

Lovely staff, outstanding range & so well priced!

I love the staff at Robert Dyas, and their stores. Our local store is in North Finchley and it is just such a great place to shop. The range of things they sell is so wide, and there is something new and interesting pretty much each time we visit. But what's changed recently are two things - 1. the store layout - it's so much more busy now, with more stock and a much more inspiring layout and range, I don't think it had changed for years and now it feels like a real high street staple, and 2. the prices. I always used to find they were on the more expensive side, so whilst I still shopped there as I like supporting our high street, it was something I noticed. I cannot believe the last few weeks, every item I have needed I have saved money by shopping there! And I mean significantly! Amazing. Lastly, their staff. I'm not sure what you pay them but I they are such a happy and helpful bunch! Again, really nice and all round a great brand. One last thing - check out their new range of cast iron pans...oh my goodness, gorgeous and brilliantly priced, they look amazing :-)
