Poor Customer Service/ poor online store

I’m truly astounded by the lack of customer service continually shown by Leroy Merlin, if they app**** the same consistency as they do in disappointing and disregarding their customers into good customer service they would actually be a great store.

I recently made two online purchases for tiles (394459) and mosaic tiles (394536), both items were in stock and I I paid for both orders and received an email to inform me that my first order was ready for collection, barely a few minutes later I received an email from Tsakani Sithole to inform me that they do not have stock on the item as it is discontinued (laughable) and that they will refund me. I emailed back to state my frustration and for them to remedy the situation and received NO response.

A day later I received an email from Magdalene Koos to inform me that my second order second order is out of stock and they will refund me ( this product is still in stock on the website right now with more than 400 units in stock). I responded demanding to be be contacted by a manager and not surprisingly I received no response AGAIN.

I believe this has happened to me around 5 times in the past and I simply cannot understand how Leroy Merlin operates this way, rather shut down your online store. Let’s see if a senior manager contacts me and not merely a store manager, I believe this needs to be remedied as I already purchased the other products to complete this project.

I don’t believe top management are aware of the the seriously poor service delivery culture that is pervasive at Leroy Merlin

Reviewer Update
2 weeks later and I still have not received any resolution or outreach, I officially give up with Leroy Merlin. I can see they have to regard for customers and clearly do not care all the way up to senior management so I'll leave it here and if any current customers are reading this, avoid any headache and rather do business with Builders Warehouse.
