Written by the company

Materials Market is a UK‑based digital marketplace for construction materials, created to make sourcing building materials simpler and more efficient for everyone involved in a project. Instead of ringing round multiple local suppliers to compare prices, check stock and chase delivery slots, customers can use a single online account to access a broad network of suppliers with over 1,000 branches nationwide. Our platform brings together a fragmented supply chain in one place, so builders, contractors, property professionals and serious DIYers can find the materials they need without the usual friction. Customers can browse a wide range of products - from timber, sheet materials and insulation, through to roofing, plasterboard, drylining and related accessories - all supplied by vetted builders merchants and distributors who are supported by our in‑house Supplier Team. Behind the scenes, our marketplace technology co‑ordinates pricing, allocation and delivery, helping customers line up materials and plan jobs with greater confidence. By encouraging suppliers of all sizes, from major nationals to independents, to work through a single platform, we create a strong customer proposition. Today, thousands of customers use Materials Market to keep projects moving, with new suppliers, product categories and ways to buy being added as the marketplace grows.

What a lamentable story this is I have…

What a lamentable story this is I have used this company since September of last year and have had over 30 deliveries but the last two or three deliveries have been absolutely shocking the most recent example was an order that was made last week that was then confirmed and a supplier was organised and then the supplier was supposed to be delivering yesterday in anticipation at that IPhoned the supplier to ask what time they anticipated delivering and was told approximately one to two pm by the time 3:30 had come round I decided to phone the supplier to find out what had happened to my order it was explained to me that the order had been taken off the lorry because "my credit limit had been exceeded" I explained to the consignor I don't have a credit limit it is materials market that has made the order and they told me to go back to them I have since logged on live chat WhatsApp and phone and I have got nowhere sadly it seems the only time these problems get resolved is when someone makes a complaint on trust pilot and I'm finding it hard to understand how they've got a 4.4 rating and if there are now credit issues with the builders merchants that they utilize that would signify much deeper problems with the company my order number is 1944-42

an update 16/6/26 16:29 no contact from the company at all via phone just a text message today 16/6/26 stating delivery will be tomorrow no explanation as to why original delivery date not met

further update 17/6/26 had a very pleasant conversation with Jo who explained what had happened it was more an issue with the supplier however it still doesn’t get around the difficulties trying to contact them once there are difficulties,it was supposed to have been delivered today again no joy but this was not materials market at fault the supplier said no one was at home when there was expecting the delivery tomorrow

Reply from Materials Market

Thank you, Richard, for your review, and I’m really very sorry for the difficulties you have experienced with this order, particularly given the number of successful orders you have placed with us previously.

I completely understand your frustration that your order was accepted and scheduled for delivery, only for it then not to arrive as expected. I am also sorry for the information you were given by the supplier regarding the reason for the failed delivery, and for the difficulty you experienced trying to contact us for clarification and assistance.

As a marketplace, suppliers should only accept orders they have the stock and capacity to fulfil within the agreed timeframe. Unfortunately, on this occasion, that did not happen and the service you received fell below the standard we aim to provide.

I note from your update that you have now received notification that the order is due for delivery, but have still not received an explanation for the original delay. We have investigated this with the supplier and will be able to update you tomorrow, as I was unable to reach you by phone earlier. In the meantime we have refunded your delivery charge.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience, frustration and uncertainty caused.

Would give ZERO stars if possible

Would give ZERO stars if possible. Order did not arrive on agreed date. Fine. Lack of post sale care was shocking. I get an invoice email saying my order was delivered when it wasn’t. It is neigh on impossible to get hold of this company via phone. When I do the operator couldn’t be bothered to help and i was inconveniencing him by calling. He then lied and said I would get the order the same day. It did not arrive again. A week later and I have not heard from this company. When I call and eventually get through all I get are lies and excuses. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Thank you Stephen for your review, and I’m extremely sorry to hear about your experience.

Not only did your order fail to arrive on the agreed delivery date, but you then received notification that it had been delivered when it had not. To then experience difficulty contacting us, and to feel that your concerns were not taken seriously when you did manage to get through, is clearly unacceptable.

I am also very sorry to hear that you were advised the order would arrive later that same day and that this did not happen, leaving you without the materials and without any further update. I appreciate how frustrating this must have been.

I understand that you have since been in contact with our team and that, as the delivery failed to take place again despite assurances that it would, you chose to cancel the order and have now been issued with a full refund.

This falls well short of the service we aim to provide. We are currently investigating with the supplier what went wrong and why the delivery repeatedly failed to take place. When there are difficulties fulfilling an order or delivery, customers should always be kept fully informed and updated throughout.

Please accept our sincere apologies that this did not happen here and for the inconvenience and frustration caused.

Very good

Overall, the experience was excellent.

I ordered from Materials Market but the items were delivered by a local trusted supplier. It would have been more expensive to order directly through the local supplier.
Not sure how the business model works but it worked for me.
