Easy ordering and competitively priced

Order process was easy enough, goods delivered in a fairly timely manor (despite FedEx providing conflicting delivery updates) and Ron Smith kept order status to date with email notifications.
Four stars for their service and efficiency so far, but I haven't experience of their after service, hence the precautionary score.
I'd happily order from this supplier again.

Allet Kensington 14B

All good from a delivery and product perspective, the only thing which stopped me giving a 5 was it would have been good to have had some form of personal confirmation that petrol and oil had been added to the mower and that it had been tested and adjusted for optimal performance

Item was due for delivery 3/4/5 August

Item was due for delivery 3/4/5 August. These dates were requested as I have hospital appointments and treatment in July. I started getting text messages about item out for delivery etc and got concerned that my delivery dates were not being adhered to. I made a call to you and your agent informed me that my delivery dates of 3/4/5 August would be maintained as per my request on placing the order. Appearently these text are just internal memos and the item will be delivered as requested on 3/4/5 August. I was surprised to get a text from Palletways on Monday morning 20th July stating delivery was imminent! A again called you and spoke to your agent on this matter and he told me he would contact the delivery contractor and re arrange delivery on the appropriate days. I asked to be kept updated. I was not. At approx 14.45hrs on 20th July a Rammage haulage truck arrived at my house with the delivery. The driver called me and wanted to drop the heavy package! I explained I was at the hospital and unable to take delivery. I also informed him of the 3/4/5 August delivery dates. I viewed this from my phone in the hospital as it’s linked to my cctv system. This appears to be a total breakdown of communications on delivery and I believe I’m intitled to a full explanation and apology. I again repete the original delivery instructions: 3/4/5 August. Please confirm that will be carried. I’m really disappointed and been put to additional stress on this matter. Regards, walter

We're very sorry for the confusion and frustration caused by the delivery.

Since your review, we've been in touch to explain what happened and confirm the correct delivery arrangements. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry we fell short on this occasion.
