Screwfix delivery absolutely useless and their complaints process is a joke. Getting more and more disappointed with the whole company. My advice would be to try Toolstation, they simply can’t be any worse, it’s not possible 🤷‍♂️

Excellent service from the store manager at Spalding, with similarly efficient support from her other colleagues - I was making a tiny purchase, but was really impressed by the care taken.

More and more in going to Screwfix for my supplies I realise they don't have stock of basic items. So I go to where there are other outlets close to each other and often find the items are also cheaper. Saves me so much in fuel costs and wasted time. I have to write a review as I've had enough.

1 because 0 is not available. Used to be good but now most things are next day delivery. Also used to be good value but not anymore

Rude uninterested staff. Went to purchase some silicone, as I waited for the customer to have completed his purchase the member of staff edged away as if he couldnt be bothered or was having a bad day. Maybe the look on my face made him change his mind. Giving him the product code he mumbled something, I apologised and asked him what he said " We dont stock this item' that was it, I made sure it was silicone I was asking for and he just repeated the same answer. Thank Goodness Toolsation is a stones throw away. No issues buying from there. I JUST HATE BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Always great service when i visit their stores, obviously it's company policy to offer good customer service as I have had the same expierience in different branches. Would reccomend!

Brilliant Service, the guys in Kett Telf Way couldnt have been more helpful

I sent one of my lads down to Screwfix to return a £44.99 roll of cable that we could not use. I purchased it online. I didn't realise that he required the physical card it was purchased on, as we have a system that allows customers to return items and we can refund straight back to the original card without the physical one. We just need the receipt. Anyway they said to him we can do a credit note so he said yes assuming it went onto the online account. He went to walk out and then got called back to be provided a piece of paper. When he came back to me with this piece of paper and explained it was a credit note, I went down to Screwfix myself. Spoke to the gentleman. He said I could only spend the credit not in store and not online. How inconvenient to your customers. The world likes to shop online. For ease. The fact I now have this piece of paper instead of a credit going straight back onto the accounts is ridiculous. Unhelpful.

ordered a bait box no tex was sent so after 2 days visited branch in ebbwvale item lost in system so had a refund staff were excellent ,

Yesterday, I was unpleasantly surprised by what felt like an attempted deception by the staff at this branch. I ordered 100 full-thread screws. Instead, I was brought an open box containing screws with threading on only two-thirds of their length.

When I pointed this out, the employee explained that the box was open because customers often ask to inspect the product before buying it. However, when I asked why the box contained a different, significantly cheaper type of screw, the employee insisted that the size and length matched, and that the discrepancy in the threading was due to an incorrect image on the website and on the box—that the contents were supposedly correct.

Fortunately, they agreed to process a return. Nevertheless, I am very dissatisfied with this experience.

Good reputation is worth far more than the £18 of extra income—protect it.

Good prices and items ready within minutes.
At times they have sellers who know what they are talking about, other times just clueless staff.
A few months ago I purchased a headlight, asked for one for my car and showed them the old one. 12v one. The lady there gave me a 24v headlight at the price of £11. This seemed weird therefore before I put it in the car I checked the small writing... Went back and asked for the right one, 12v. She said fine and gave me one, but said it has the same price. I took it replaced it and all good. When I reached home and checked on tbe website was £2 ... :)) Better do the research when you buy something.

My wife and I have spent huge amounts at Screwfix. We recently ordered 3 new radiators. Our plumber has got around to fitting them today and I noticed that one of them is wrong. I’ve been supplied with a cheaper version that costs £53.14 less than I’ve actually paid!
I phoned to explain and said that as the radiator had now been fitted, we would reluctantly accept it - even though it doesn’t match the other two…. however, I’d like the £53.14 overpayment refunding.
The customer services woman offered a £25 goodwill credit and said I should have opened all the packages when they arrived to check them.
Surely the point is, they should have delivered the correct items that I ordered and paid for in advance in good faith? I’ve escalated this issue and await a response when I’ll update this review.

UPDATE: 5 days on and I’ve heard nothing from Screwfix… so it’s back on the phone to waste some more of my time chasing this complaint up! Watch this space for a further update!

UPDATE 2: following a further call to a more helpful lady, she apologised for the delay and chased up the department responsible for refunds. Finally a refund was issued!

I've used branches in Ashbourne, Chesterfield and Uttoxeter plus ordered online.
Online ordering works well and has a very good search engine.
Like many things with people staff vary but in the main are very good.
Prices are not always the cheapest but they often have what you want when you need it

the staff at Chatteris could not organise a what ever it is in a brothol but in store they did it twice on one order picked five lenths of gutter but of two different sizes should have been all the same, jointing unions were wrong size for the correct gutter after two trips back now having to wait for next day . completely wasted day through incompetence

Had I ordered this product from any other supplier I could have got next day delivery to my house instead of looking at close to a week (ordered late Wednesday and delivery currently expected to store on Tuesday).

Unfortunately, Screwfix consider my location as ‘remote’ (16 miles north of Aberdeen) and therefore use Parcelforce, who do not deliver to my location but give the item to Royal Mail, thereby incurring another day. I have just contacted Screwfix and after 38 hours since placing the order it has only made it as far as Chorley!

When placing the order the website advised ‘next working day’ for delivery and from previous experience I was expecting 2 days (especially as I placed the order after 2100) but having to contact customer services to be told that delivery would be Tuesday is absolute incompetence and completely unacceptable.

If the website states ‘next day’ delivery to store and you live out with a major English location, then do not order as the Screwfix business model does not support ‘next day’.

David at Dover offered great advice and help that helped me, a novice DIYer, solve a shower pump install problem, Thanks David.

Multiple small purchases recently, without issue. Last one though, was a sash clamp that turned out to be faulty. Replaced the following day, no problem at all. If only all stores could be like this. Five Stars for Screwfix

Just want to thank customer service advisor Connor at Yeovil, for his prompt and positive answer to my query.

Used them for more than 5 years.Always had very good experience with them when buying, returning or getting good quality products.

I’ve had poor experiences with UK, Screwfix Birmingham, Selly Oak, customer service on two separate occasions. I placed orders with next-day delivery, expecting prompt service. However, both times I received a text the next day saying the delivery was delayed, which left me no choice but to source the items elsewhere.

On top of that, there have been several occasions when I visited a Screwfix store only to find the items I needed were out of stock. It’s frustrating, especially when you rely on them for urgent jobs.

After these experiences, I started exploring other suppliers — and I was surprised to find better prices, higher-quality products, and better stock availability elsewhere. It made me realize the importance of shopping around instead of relying on just one retailer.

Screwfix seems more focused on keeping customers happy with small in-store perks like hot drinks or doughnuts, rather than fixing the real issues with stock and delivery. People should definitely consider looking around instead of feeling tied to Screwfix out of habit.
