Whilst the order didn't go to plan the customer service from Ruby was excellent and she tried to resolve issues proactively, with good communication.

I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for my order…

I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for my order now. I’m continuously lied to about stock, lorry’s not arriving etc etc.
I asked for a refund but was told the order would be here last week. Then called on the phone and was gas lit by a staff member who said I can’t have been told mr planter was coming. Awful customer service. Awful company. Feel like I’ve been robbed,

Terrible

Terrible, even dishonest. I ordered an item and paid. A month later it still hadn't arrived. I phoned to cancel it, they agreed on the phone to do so. They never sent any confirmation in writing, as we had agreed. I phoned again. Still lied. They have still not delivered and I have still not been refunded, basically robbed. I will now have to take legal action. Just Terrible, avoid these people at all costs

I placed my order never recieved a confirmation order e mail. until I was concerned the site was not legit. I rang and then they sent a confirmation email. Delivery took a while however appreciate stock was an issue. Never received a dispatch email or any updates atall. Delivery day came because I called them late out of the EAT and no one knocked just dumped in my drive. And to top it off it's not even that nice not sturdy for the price won't be using them again

I had an excellent experience with Garden Timber Online. The quality of the wood was outstanding, solid and well treated and exactly what I needed for my garden shed project. Jake was fantastic throughout the whole process. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure I got the right timber for my needs. Delivery was prompt and the wood arrived in perfect condition, it's rare to find such reliable service and quality these days. I'll definitely be ordering again and recommending it to all my friends.

Take your money then don't deliver

Take your money then don't deliver. Emails left unanswered. Phone calls not returned. I've been waiting over four weeks now for my order, and nothing. This feels like a scam. Avoid.

Responded straight away with offer of compensation or replacement. No quibble with replacement and arrangements were quickly made for collection of one and delvery of other. Would highly recommend this company.

5 Stars from me

Reassuring to know there are good, reliable, efficient companies on line. Very quick free delivery (even to the Isle of Wight), helpful staff on the end of the phone. Product quality exactly as good as expected at very competitive price. Can’t wait to see my 6ft trellis panels in place around my pergola. 😄

Good Service

Good quality planter with trellis. Excellent sales service and product knowledge provided by Paul who followed up consistently on my purchase and delivery. Arrived on the day and time prearranged. Item was suppose to be assembled on delivery but was not. The only downside was the supplied X type wheel screws are useless for the UK unless you have the correct drill or driver. You need to use classic 60 and 90mm Philips or Slotted screws as the assembler did.

A1 planters

I had a large garden project in which I needed 6 of the Everglade planters and the photos do not do it justice really great looking in person. Jack was a big help with deciding what to buy

Wooden planters with slatted trellis

Products arrived exactly when they said. Very pleased with the items - sturdy, well-made, and perfect for the garden. Looking forward to getting them all planted-up. Thank you to the lovely chap who delivered them, too. I will definitely purchase from this company again.
