“Amazing Service”

★★★★★

written by on 26/01/2022

Ordered double egg chair for garden, really good price & was very easy to use website, I’m nearly 70 & was worried about ordering online & paying for something I hadn’t seen but i immediately received updates as to when to expect delivery, van driver rang to say he would be at my address within a certain time frame, delivery was excellent the guys were really helpful & friendly. Chair is amazing quality & cushions are really thick & look very hard wearing. Would defiantly buy from this company again. 10 out of 10.

“On a regular visit to Hayes with my husband I...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Lane419 on 10/12/2016

On a regular visit to Hayes with my husband I purchased three small items, going through a checkout at a similar time to him going through a parallel counter, I then waited for my spouse at the end of the other checkout. When his items had been counted the person at the till turned to me and asked had I paid for the goods in my hands. I visibly had had the receipt. She questioned whether I had all the items on my receipt. She then said it is not that I don't trust you but have all the items been rung through and demanded to check my receipt. The manner in which this was said to me left a lot to be desired and I felt like a criminal and even though the proof was there that the items were purchased she was quite aggressive and I felt as though I was in the wrong. The episode has upset me and I certainly won't be shopping at your store for the foreseeable future, nor will I recommend it to others. This episode was in front of other customers which questioned my integrity. When subsequently reported to the checkout supervisor I was given an insincere off-hand apology which left me with no reassurance that the matter would be dealt with or that Hayes were concerned about the treatment of their customers.

“Poor customer service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mzSanders263 on 15/03/2016

While the staff appeared reasonably helpful before the sale, the after-sales service is really poor. They don't return calls or reply to emails once they have your money. They seem to have found a way of manipulating one of the other review sites - after some very poor reviews, many excellent ones arrived all on the same day.

“Cancelled order”

★★★★★

written by Alanfromcheshire on 09/06/2015

Ordered a Bistro table and chairs but delivery from Heyes suppliers was to be longer than originally expected. The lady was extremely helpful and had no problem in cancelling my order and organising a refund to facilitate me buying something different from another supplier. She was very customer focussed and a real pleasure to do business with. I would not hesitate in buying something from Heyes Garden World in the future. No complaints at all about the service I received.

“Great Price and Prompt Delivery”

★★★★★

written by on 07/06/2012

Purchased a Caledonian 6x3 vegtable bed and a 3x3 tiered raised bed. Both were cheapest of all the places we looked at. Delivery was in a few days of ordering online and even came on the Jubilee Bank Holiday. Very pleased.

“Amazing Pet Department”

★★★★★

written by Junior1976 on 30/04/2012

Been thinking of purchasing a fish tank for some time now and went to Hayes for plants but was amazed at their new department. A guy called Alan served us and was really knowledable and they had a wide range of fish and tanks. The tanks were Juwel and were the cheapest my wife and I have seen them. We ended up buying a massive tank and it is getting delivered to our home this week. Cant praise them enough. The rest of the Garden Centre looked very well presented and they were some lovely displays. We will definately return.

“Wow! what a place!”

★★★★★

written by successfulloser on 28/04/2012

I visited this store today and it was an absolute pleasure to be there. The staff were hugely helpful (despite having 2 or 3 buses to deal with at the same time) and their knowledge on all types of products was endless. I was given some fantastic tips on what plants to plant when and how best to look after them. The toilets were a way away but when i asked about this i was given a full explaination that it was due to planning regulations at the time of building (some 10 years ago now, these were also NOT outside like a previous review) There was a huge variety of products such as jams, coats and obviously the man garden products like indoor and outdoor plants and sundries. An excellent store with excellent staff, you can easily spend a day here. Parking is free (although i did see a clamp so look out for signs!) and they have a huge cafe. Prices were a little on the high side i suppose but this seems like a business dedicated to providing the best for their customers so i imagine its high end stuff. Well worth a visit

“A Jack of all trades business which ticks none of the...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/04/2012

A mishmash is the best description, they seem to be unclear as to whether they want to market garden equipment, plants, seeds, clothes, furniture or anything else you can think of. The problem is that nothing is done properly. This was until recently the place to go for better quality plants seeds and advice as to planting growing and etc. Now it is smoke and mirrors and very expensive.

I was given some fantastic tips on what plants to plant when and how best to look after them. Of course they have had to diversify into other areas like food and clothes but i imagine this is because everybody else has had to do the same to keep their heads above water. You dont go in to tesco and just expect to find beans on a shelf, you can go in there for anything from TV's to shoes now!

“More communication”

★★☆☆☆

written by JaneAH on 13/04/2012

I ordered a garden table from Hayes and was given a date for delivery. The wrong table was delivered and after ringing the company was promised that the following week the table would be exchanged. The promised day of delivery came and went and I contacted the company who knew nothing about the conversation. Poor communication. False promises. I'm still waiting for out table to arrive. Really not impressed. There was not a congruent apology either.

“Warning! Products received, not as described and shown”

★☆☆☆☆

written by bluesteve on 13/12/2011

I purchased a 7.5ft Colorado Spruce Xmas tree Nov 2011. I deliberated over it as it was £210 plus £5 delivery. A lot for an xmas tree in my mind. I decided it looked good in the close up of the photo... full with lots of branches and few gaps, so i purchased it as i thought it would also be a tree to use for many years. What i received to my disappointment was a tree that was not as described or shown in the photo. A mix of old fashioned tinsel branches and conical rubber type cones. it wasn't full and had lots of gaps, so much so, the branches didn't even start at the back of the stems leaving at least 6 inches bare without branches per main stem. also the tree itself measured 7 ft not 7.5. and the widest point at the base measured 47 inches and not 51 inches as described. It was like viewing a blue vw golf in the photo you set out to buy and coming home to a delivered red vw polo. So Very, very disappointing product. A trades description act field day if ever i saw one. My first call to them was met by a curt woman who said she couldn't take my call and instead gave me another number to call which was automated call back. very frustrating having to wait around for a reply when i just spoke to someone. Eventually I did speak to Lyndan at HGW, who offered the argument that they (trees) can look different to that on the website... no mention of this on the website though. I proposed he either removed the photo or update it as it didn't represent the product. To date neither have been done. I emailed them again since with photo proof but they now refuse to come back to me. Please, if purchasing from HGW be careful of the products and description. They're customer service leaves a lot to be desired too.... still waiting for their email reply??? My next stop will be consumer trades description to see if i can have this product and others at least updated with more accurate info and images.

Trulymad's Response to bluesteve's Review

Written on: 17/10/2012

That's outrageous.

I was thinking of purchasing a fairly pricey Christmas tree from Hayes Garden World, but your experience has put me right off. I'm glad I Googled for reviews first.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

“Hayes Garden World seems to me to be expensive when...”

★★★☆☆

written by Degsy1945 on 22/02/2009

Hayes Garden World seems to me to be expensive when compared to other garden centres. The standards in my opinion, have slipped when comparing the centre to how it was. Moving the toilet from inside the centre to outside and a fair distance away was not a good move particularly for the disabled and cafe users.

“Very enjoyable trip to the Hayes Garden World Leeds...”

★★★★☆

written by Dicko2008 on 13/07/2008

Very enjoyable trip to the Hayes Garden World Leeds store after visiting the Ambleside branch previously. I have read a review on here to which i would have agreed with if any of it were applicable but i obviously had a completely different experience to that reviewer.

We had a lovely shopping experience at this garden centre with extremely friendly and chatty staff. We were very impressed with the quality and selection of plants of which we purchased quite a few. We then enjoyed a pleasant lunch in their cafe at a reasonable price.

We were also impressed by the easy wheel chair access. We had my mother with us who is in a chair and we have experience problems with in the past at other stores.

Hayes Garden World at Leeds is obviously an old building but i think that they certainly have made the best of what they have got. This was a very pleasant experience but i can imagine a new building would make this a great day out for all the family.

An all round pleasant shopping experience - Highly recommended! (2008)

“We went out of our way to visit Hayes Garden World,...”

★★☆☆☆

written by jeeping on 07/07/2008

We went out of our way to visit Hayes Garden World, having been attracted by the website, and a previous visit to the Ambleside store. This store is between Leeds & York.

If it was my store I would be thinking of closing the store and starting again, it really was that poor (2007).
