Barnardo's Omdömen 31

Ordered a mirror wall art online brand new. Was sent with royal mail. It was cheaper than other places I had seen it. Very well packaged. Arrived quick. Would not hesitate to buy from here again. Only descovered to buy from here by putting a picture in google to see who sold it and this was the cheapest. Thank you.

I had some folding tables, the shop arranged for the driver to collect them. He called me 3 times but his phone was not working. I called him same problem. He said he want now becoming to collect as his busy else where. I had got them out of the garage ready. Im just going to put them in land fill as it's clear, charities don't want to be bothered in collecting things they can sell.

Deeply Disappointed – This Is Not What a Charity Should Represent
I’m writing this with deep disappointment after an upsetting experience on 20/06/2025 at the Barnardo’s charity shop in Unit 3, The Reach, Battery Road, Thamesmead, SE28 0NY.
My six-year-old son, who is autistic, was quietly looking at the toys displayed at children’s level. He wasn’t loud, didn’t damage anything, and was simply curious, like any child. Instead of receiving patience or kindness, he was sharply told by a staff member, “Don’t touch, you’ll break it!” in a cold and dismissive tone.
Both of my children burst into tears as soon as we left. They cried all the way home asking, “Mummy, why was that man so mean?”
That one moment destroyed their sense of safety in a place we trusted.
We have been loyal supporters of Barnardo’s..both as donors and customers. It hurts even more because we believed this shop stood for compassion, inclusion, and support for families. But what we experienced was anything but that.
We will no longer be donating to or shopping at this branch. The way my children were made to feel..ashamed and unwelcome..will stay with us.
To treat any child, let alone one with additional needs, like a nuisance is unacceptable. And from a charity that claims to help people, it’s devastating.
Barnardo’s, please remember: your actions, your words, your attitude…these all carry weight. You didn’t just lose a sale. You lost a family who truly believed in your mission.
We expected care. Instead, we were left hurt and heartbroken.

I cannot thank Tracey enough from the Barnardo's branch in Kempston, we'd gone in for a mooch about as we'd heard there was a wide selection of wedding dresses available.
After having looked through, trying a few on and not quite finding a dress I'd liked on. Tracey went out of her way to look through stock that hadn't yet made the shop floor, looking through for my size and asking if I liked the potential dress. After much time I finally did say 'yes to the dress' but this truly wouldn't have been possible without the support from Tracey! I cannot thank you enough again!

What an appalling customer service staff this company has! The lie about condition of goods adverting them as in working order then send you defective items! I bought a Wii console from the Barnardo's EBAY store, advertised as "POWERS ON WORKING" When i receive the order the balance board would NOT power on! and was all rusted! clearly unchecked and NOT tested. The abuse & false accusations that flowered from a person named JAZZ were disgusting! firstly saying its my problem for not reading the item description about the board being untested? BUT! this was not the case! It clearly states at the very beginning of your description "Wii console and balance board power on and work" Then JAZZ Makes another very serious accusation against me! saying.. I am abusing the EBAY returns policy & lying about reason for return & i would have to pay the return postage myself. For false reason for return!

Even though i provided a screenshot of their own item discretion showing their was no mistake on my part! And still JAZZ continued to make false accusations against me! You will see for yourself in the screenshots i have added, everything i have said and done are honest and accurate!

Even when i pointed out the companies mistake JAZZ continued ton be offensive!

I will NOT be giving you the opportunity to make more false accusations against me with ebay! I wont be returning the goods Via EBAY returns policy has you made it very clear you will do everything in your power not to issue my refund.

But believe me when i say this! This will be dealt with at your head offices in the form of a formal complaint! I have already issued a bank charge back providing full evidence of your crime for the money you wrongly took from me and refused to give this back.

I couldn't believe what i was hearing in your replies!

Just because your registered as a charity does not give you the right to deceive customers and lie about product condition by advertising them as working when they are CLEARLY untested donations! And refuse refunds & make very serious false accusations! I will escalate the matter legally if I have to believe me, if appropriate action & resolution is not taken promptly.

The Barnardos shop at Brierley Hill Dudley is the ultimate shopping experience if you like thrifting!
The staff are professional and all have a friendly demeanour. Volunteers and staff alike are always consistent in their approach to shoppers.
The shop layout is professional and colourful.
There’s always a bargain to be had !
Shout out to Ruth , Debbie and Mark and all the others that I’ve forgotten their names .
This is definitely a flagship Barnardos shop

Bad staff bullying

Racial abuse and deformation of character at Barnardo's Coventry Central Six: Extremely rude staff and manager accused me of stealing and took my personal belongings without proof! The commodity they claimed that I stole was actually what I bought from Poundland 5 min ago, and they even refused to check. I feel discriminated against, harassed, and threatened, and I am now suffering from a panic attack and mental distress.

What I experienced on 7th Dec Saturday was a nightmare. They harassed me with several different versions of the accusation while refusing to show me the CCTV. First they said I put something in my bag, then they said I passed something to someone else, and then they saw two empty hangers in my hand and suspected me of stealing two pieces of clothes, despite the two dresses I just tried on being held on my arms before I tried to hang them back on the rack. Despite the manager from Poundland testifying for me, the staff refused to admit they were wrong and threatened me with putting me in trouble because I raised my voice. The security guy was getting very close to me physically and making me scared and gave me a panic attack, yet his face looked like he was enjoying this. They dare to do this because their manager allows it and joins the illegal accusation. And there's no basic respect and investigation protocol at all!

They are completely framing me into this with inconsistent statements of accusations. They refused to explain why they suspected me except for what they called 'intel.' When the manager shouted, 'This is my shop!' in response to my questioning of their protocol, I am convinced that they are absolutely targeting me for some reason irrelevant to shop security and misunderstanding. Their priority was to call me a thief and insult me rather than fact checking.

I am not afraid of confrontation, but they hid their staff card and even escaped to the shop rear when they found they were wrong. This just proved that they are aware of their misconduct and hoping to get away with it. I also heard they were murmuring, wanting to check my ID.

The most unbelievable and illegal part is: They claimed that if I couldn't find the receipt to prove the item, then the item was stolen from theirs. I offered to show them the payment proof on my ApplePay, they refused to see it and insist that they need paper receipt.

As a young ethnic minority woman, I am sure what it is I got here. They are throwing their weight on me and think I am the soft touch. Racism and Sexism are why they think they can do this to me without facing consequence. They are extremely arrogant; even when they found they were wrong, they expected I didn't know how to fight. Yes they are generally rude according to other customer's account, but they wouldn't dare to take your personal belongings and dismiss all your diplomatic approach and try their best to frame you.

this is another review i have found this experience very distressing looks like there is no hope of finding this parcel i will NEVER buy from this company again
