Robert Dyas Chichester

I like to use RD because I find their customer service very helpful, where nothing seems to a be a bother. I went to the shop today and can say that the staff in the shop were just as good. I'd rang up the day before and asked if they could put an item aside for me, the lady said no problem. Goes in today to get it, and there you are, right behind the counter, cheery faces all round, I like it in a shop when a genuine smile is on display, well done RD team.

I had a list of various items to purchase in the Chichester store;the staff were so very helpful in not only finding the products I needed but gave me information on how to use . I also had to collect a pre order which was a large deckchair. They kindly carried it to my car and put the heavy item into my car.
Nothing was too much trouble.

I had a wonderful experience at the Chichester branch today. The weather was foul, I was soaked to the skin, it was busy and three men who worked there were exceptionally helpful.
Firstly one went up to the storage for an eye mask. The other two were serving at the till , picked up items for me, helped me pack my bags and were really lovely. It’s unusual to have service like this and I found it very emotional, it makes me want to return to this store. The store was packed full of goods you could quite clearly see they were trying their best to get stock out, then they have people like me keep asking questions. No one sighed, no one gave me the impression I was interfering with the task to hand, they just helped. I’m afraid I did not take their names but thank you the three in question on Monday 6th December around 1.50 ish.

Rang Monday asked if they had
Memory foam neck collars.
Doug said yes and would reserve them. Collected today, easy purchase. Very friendly, Covid safe environment. Well done.

Sarah in the Chichester store went above and beyond to ensure that me and my boyfriend walked out with the product we wanted. Cant recommend enough!!

Purchased an oven and had a few problems, but the staff in this store were very good and really helped out

I work there !!!

Helpful staff

Had all the household bits we needed, and prices are pretty reasonable. Parts of the store were quite narrow which made getting around with to the buggy quite difficult.

Always get to find things interesting and in a good price!

For those who like their kitchen and home gadgets this shop is really good. The prices are on the higher side, however quality is very good so to be expected.

Robert dyas has lots of variety when it comes to DIY and home appliances. The staff are also always really friendly.

Should still be called the very useful store.

Staff really helpful

Poor paint stock.

We went to purchase a set of pans that were on the shelf with the price of £49. When we tried to pay (after queuing for some time!) the price came up as £100. On checking the shelf price attached to the shelf we were told it was ‘Mays’ price and had doubled in price from then (it’s now only 1st August). There was another shelf with the £100 same set but surely this was still Mays stock and advertised at the reduced price! The cashier was unhelpful, another cashier left another till to answer a personal mobile call and was heard saying “sorry love I’m just having a moment”! We left all our items without buying anything. Poor show Robert Dyas and extremely unprofessional staff! We won’t be returning.

Ordered and paid for a flask online to collect from the Chichester store as a Christmas present. Received an email on 17th Dec to say my item was ready for collection. Arrived at the store today to be told by the Store Manager Julie that my item had already been collected. When I assured her I had not already collected my flask I was then rudely told that I had not collected my item in the 7 day window which is stipulated on the collections email and my flask had subsequently been returned to the warehouse. Even someone with basic mathematical skills could calculate the 7 day window had not yet expired. After several further store searches I was eventually told that it is unlikely my item had ever actually arrived and as there was only 1 flask remaining in the entire business the best they could offer me was a refund. This infuriated me as surely my flask was booked in as received at store in order to generate the collection email? Clearly my paid for flask had actually been given to another customer without the requested proof of purchase and ID that the collection email stipulates. Rather than accept responsibility and apologise for the error I was made to feel I was at fault. Really poor customer service and a lack of ownership from the store manager. I shall be using Amazon in future, who offer a much better service, poor show Robert Dyas!
