The Range

Very rude manager - assistant. Brought paint but changed colours half way in from grey to black … which isn’t my fault (as you can imagine the time and effort put into painting a garage then on the last panel it turns black) for him to say well it did the job …. He refused to refund it …. Anyone would think he owns the range himself .. next time save yourself and just go to b&q … and he’s lucky he didn’t get a mouth full from me ….

The actual store and range of products is great but the staff need a kick up the backside. Whenever I've needed help at the till for a price check or had a click and collect order, it's always taken way longer than it should. A few of these occasions, the staff have just been stood around talking when I'm clearly waiting to be attended to. Don't bother doing a click and collect order, you'd be quicker going round the shop and getting it yourself. The ones I've come across on the tills have always been a bit lacking enthusiasm and customer service skills. I'm not asking for much but they could all do with livening up a bit.

Ordered some decking paint at 3pm online for click and collect. Received an email 4 hours later saying they couldn’t ‘pick’ some of my order, which has thrown my plans for an early start tomorrow. If the stock is unavailable, DONT advertise it as available on your website, awful experience

What can I say, been here a few times and most of the times I leave thinking the staff have no people skills and i asked a older lady that worked their is there any undercoat paint in the back as online it was saying there was over 10 and her response was sometimes online says there is stock and it's wrong, she then said that there is no one in at the moment who can look in the warehouse because they have all gone home. Not sure that would be the same at tesco if you asked someone to go look for stock has the shelf was empty and they said we can't due to no one being in who can look out back. Seems more and more that big company are taking people on with no people skills, will try the Wigan one next time or order to store first.

A Range with a good range of products. Remember to take a 1£ if you're planning on using a trolly. They have quite a bit garden furniture, pots, plants, soil, so if that's what you're after you'll probably find it in this one. It's not the biggest The Range I've been it, but unless you're looking for something very specific you'll find it there. Nice and helpful staff too. There tends to be always parking available.

Great range of products here, lovely lady in the tea shop, so friendly & welcoming, she was lovely. I would give 5 stars for her, sadly the man on the till when I was purchasing was extremely rude, seemed agitated as there was no code on my sale item I wanted to purchase, it was an annoyance for him. He didn't even say hello when we approached the counter. My husband, I & mum-in-law. Sadly he let the shop down. Clearly the staff feel the same too about him.

I don't usually write negative reviews, but my recent trip to the Range was quite disappointing and left me feeling upset. There was a young staff member with freckles and ginger hair who served me at the tills, and her rude and dismissive attitude really put me off. Her negative energy and judgmental behavior were quite unpleasant, which is why I won't be returning. What bothered me the most was that there was no one waiting behind me in the queue, so there was absolutely no need to rush my service. What surprised me was how she treated the person in front of me, an older lady, with kindness while being dismissive, rude, and ignorant towards me. This experience made me feel judged and left me questioning if there was something wrong with me. It's definitely not the way you want to feel when you're just trying to buy a few everyday things for your home. Terrible customer service skills!

The store is well stocked, with a good variety of products at affordable prices. However it can be hard to find members of staff on the shop floor. There are 1 or 2 sales assistants that are quite unhelpful and disinterested in doing their job. I asked about a lamp that was on display to see if they had any packaged ones I could buy, and the sales assistant just assumed that I was trying to buy the one on display. She repeated herself about 2/3 times saying I couldn't buy it, and started walking away. I told her, I was looking for that model of lamp in a box. She then replied saying if its not on the shelf you can't buy it. Well as it turns out, I did manage to find one on the shelf, it was behind another boxed up lamp. Not a helpful attitude at all towards customers

The only thing is that the prices on the tickets can be different to what you pay at the till, I found a few of my items were dearer than the display ticket, (that's if they have prices showing)! We did venture to the new cafe, the burgers were lovely and the prices were reasonable.

The staff at The Range, Leigh are absolutely 5 star. After getting up to the upper floor, my elderly mother was a little afraid of coming down the escalator and unfortunately the lift was out of order. Several staff members came quickly to her aid. They stopped the escalator and slowly and steadily, step by step, guided her down. Very kind human beings. Mum was truly grateful - Thanks all!

Visited the Leigh store today to purchase wallpaper that we were having difficulty finding in other local stores. Leigh shop also had no stock but a very nice assistant on the tills took the time to locate stock at nearby Warrington and Bolton and had them put aside for us to collect so that they had the same batch numbers. Thank you very much Katie for your help.

I like the range. It has a great range of products. However, a lot of the items are not priced. This is frustrating because you have to find someone who can price the items, which usually takes some time.

Mixed opinion here. The store is clean yet cramped, however it is well stocked with a variety of different items with reasonable pricing. The last time I was in this store I was stood at the till waiting to be served, yet the staff thought it was more important to continue their conversation with their colleagues. The staff member was aware that I was there, yet continued to instruct the other member on tasks they should be doing. I believe some of the staff members may need additional training in customer service.

Lovely place to visit ,you just cannot get enough of the varieties of stuff on sale. The queue was not as bad as I thought and there are lots of parking. Everything is well arranged on the shelves. Although well stocked but if you do not know what you are looking for and have no attendant or staff on ground,you will be walking round in circles. Some items are limited though as not enough to select from. Above all, I enjoyed my visit there.

Great shop and you can practically buy anything you need... however, it takes a long time at the tills as they never appear to actually have any open and want you to be served at customer services... puts you off going to this store and go to another instead.

The Range is well stocked and has a wide range of goods on offer,it also has a garden department where you can purchase some real bargains if you're lucky enough. If you like your hobbies,there is a wide range of material on offer but don't expect it to be like Hobbycraft which specialises in a larger range of specific hobbies. There is plenty of material for children and art crafts for their schooling. There are also a wide range of gifts on both floors from decorating materials to car products and just about everything in between. Upstairs there is a cafe but I can't review this as I haven't eaten there. The toilets are upstairs and the gents were spotless. Well done. There is also a lift and an up and down escalator for prams and wheelchair access.

Nice store well stocked and fine n dandy till you try to get through the tills. Not enough sufficiently trained staff to keep things moving. The staff are pleasent but struggle in a variety of situations, your usually subjected to a wait to get out of the store this has happened many times even when there is only one person in front of you with a few items. Also be aware that reduced price items often remain full priced when scanned at the till, this has happened to me on more than one occasion.

Lots of lovely items and vast stock. Sadly the staff try and use customer services desk instead of opening tills correctly meaning large queues and hard to get larger items scanned, some staff helpful, Sadly others never leave behind the customer services so you struggle with larger items. Need to improve this or sadly they will loose custom due to this issue.

I'm actually in the store as I write this review , once again its guess the price of products as no prices on the shelves in the craft section, Ask a young girl Charlotte why no prices on anything and got a reply in a cocky rude tone that she knows there are no prices on stuff as they are short staffed and a shoulder shrug, so I asked was it a guessing game as they never have prices on, was told however that what I needed she would have to take to the till then if that's what I wanted...I did retail for 30+ years and never once had a member of staff with an attitude that. If you don't like the job leave..Still pulling faces as I pass by.

Have always loved this store, and while there still is an excellent choice of products (except the craft section which has reduced every time I visit) the thing that has put me off returning to the Leigh branch in the future is the fact that on almost every occasion, there will be two people stocking shelves, who are not being very subtle about the fact that they are slagging off another colleagues every move! There was even some name dropping at one point! Please stop doing this folks! It is highly unprofessional and very off putting for customers!

Found some lovely Christmas decorations. The variety of items on offer overall is okay but it isn’t the biggest range ever. I do have two negatives of the range (this may apply to other range stores as well not just this one). My first thing is that if you buy anything that is more fragile e.g glass baubles or plates, they do not have anything to wrap them in. This can be quite frustrating. The second thing is that they cannot seem to tell you if they have anything in stock. On one day, I asked if they had more of an item in stock and the lady just replied that they do have stock but until they open the box on the shop floor they don’t know what it is. It surprised me that such a big chain store had such a terrible stock tracking process. On a second occasion (a week later) I asked another member of staff and he was way more helpful. He offered to check if there were any in a draw/direct storage for the item and then when there wasn’t he took down my details and said that if they get any in they will call.

I don't know where The Range gets it's name but it is appropriate considering the diversity of it's product range. Everything does revolve around household items, from wall coverings and hangings, to kitchen ware, bedroom and bathroom; to decorating, garden and maintenance including tools and equipment. With such a "range" there is a limit to the number of items in each group but there are two things that they have a great selection of .... pictures and mirrors. Reminds me of a Swedish company ... just smaller. Prices are good too and no shortage of parking. Nothings perfect but I honestly can't find any negatives based on my last visit.

I can't say that I'm a fan of this store. While this does not apply to all staff members, there are more than I would like to mention who just stand around chatting while people are waiting to be served. Customer service desk seems to be allocated to those with the worst level of Customer Service. Unable to return/ refund as "not my job" or "my manager isn't in so you'll need to come back". Shop floor isn't much better as trying to get assistance is more a matter of luck! Perhaps send management to other stores to pick up the necessary skills and to share them with their staff!

Always a mixed experience. Store layout a chaotic mix - spend a lot of time in- store searching. Some good quality items & bargains can be found.

I wanted to buy a lamp, £100.00 I asked if I could see the lamp out of the box. NO, the girl would not even try and help. I asked another girl about cot duvet. She did not have an idea and said go and look up stairs, nothing but garden equipment. They never wear mask and lots of products don't have prices on, not happy with that shop. Went to eccles today bought the £100.00 lamp, and bought the cot duvet, in the sale at 4.00 pound, had to ask the price at till but staff are very helpful in eccles.

Usually really impressed by Leigh Range, but not today (1st November). Arrived and it was chucking it down with rain and was faced with a queue of around 20 people outside. When I eventually got inside it was clear what the problem was, people couldn't get in because as there was only 1 checkout manned, people were queuing at the till to get out. When I eventually got out, there was an even bigger queue outside. I accept that social distancing measures need to be maintained but come on Range, give people a chance!!!
