Online purchase

Online purchase
Turned up ad hoc to collect and wasn’t a problem, materials out and on the van in ten minutes and it was busy. Great service and the guys who dealt with me were great.

Mistakes happen. Made Good. We are human!

Order delivered without the ironmongery or post tops. Shame really. Delivery failure ruined a good experience with Shawfield Timber. Prices are good. Stevie was great with the sale. Very helpful.

UPDATE
Phoned 4/6 and spoke with customer service. Driver forgot to pick up bags with ironmongery and post tops. Genuine mistake. This does happen. Rating was 3 stars now 5. Being delivered today 4/6. Genuine mistake. Rectified and made good. Thank you.

Told it was dispatched when it hadn’t been…

I received an email a week ago to say that my order had been dispatched - to which I replied asking when it might arrive - but heard nothing more. Called them yesterday to follow up - hadn’t been dispatched at all… But was assured it would be sent.. but still no way of telling if or when it might arrive (what if I’m not in and it’s raining..?). Then today I get asked for my feedback - well if my delivery ever arrives, then I might be better placed to comment…

Really poor follow up service

Really poor follow up service
Order didn’t come in time advised at purchase point
Called twice and left messages NO response
Eventually emailed and got response advising of delivery but they wouldn’t provide accurate delivery time
Product may be fine .. but such a carry on with delivery unacceptable

Quick and easy process

Quick and easy process. I ordered online first thing in the morning. Had a confirmation email shortly after ordering, and shortly after that an email saying that my entire order was ready to collect.

Fantastic

Fantastic yard. I’m very much a rookie but went in person and felt welcome. Staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and the wood I purchased was a fraction of the price compared to the likes of B&Q, Wickes, etc. Highly recommend.
