I bought this item in December 2020. It was delivered on a pallet three days later. Brilliant. Bought for one specific job which I could not get any so called professionals to do. (Too difficult!) Job... See more

The delivery of a new drive belt

The delivery of a new drive belt I thought was expensive and because it was wanting a signature the post man could not just post it through the door. This caused a delay because of waiting for a redelivery. May I suggest for small inexpensive parts you send it through just normal 1st class post or similar. Nothing wronge with product, and I'm very please to give my bandsaw a new life. Works great.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. We have taken note of your comments, but unfortunately it is items like the one we sent you that seems to get lost the most often. Perhaps a tracked solution without signature might be the way forward.

Regards

Ian.

Very knowledgeable

Ian understood my problem, even giving me some background on the original manufacturer of my machine, he proposed a solution and it worked!
Thank you Ian- I'll be back when it is time to upgrade.

Fantastic company with great customer service.

From contact to order the customer service was excellent. The pricing beat all others. I had a problem with the first delivery (the problem was due the carrier, not (Poolewood).
This was no problem to their customer services, the next day a replacement was received.
All credit to Ian and the way the problem was handled and overcome.
Yes I would use Poolewood for future purchases!

Delivery drop and scarper

My wife waited for the delivery, a knock on the door with delivery guy asking for a signature, basically he had backed up to the drive dragged the items out the back of his little van and left.
Too heavy for my wife to handle I had to leave work to put it in a secure place, I'm not leaving £700 worth of equipment on the drive in this day and age.
Think you need review your delivery procedures.

Dear Andy,

Thank you for advising about the poor delivery we have raised this and await comment.
Our apologies, unfortunately some of the final delivery drivers a careful and caring others afe not. That part is beyond our control but feedback is greatly appreciated so it can be raised.

As a repeat customer it is disappointing when the delivery experience is poor. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Best regards

Ian.

Nova Voyager drill press

A good price and quick (free) delivery from Poolwood, so they were great. The drill is fine, with a couple of niggles. Firstly, there was a patch of rust on the machine head casting, which was disappointing. Secondly, as I was expecting after watching other reviews of this machine, the run out on the chuck is not great. Why Nova can’t include a better quality chuck with such an expensive press is beyond me. Other than that, the features are great.

ordered a plunge saw and rails on the 14/11/23 item said it was in stock
well they never tell you when its been despatched, i had to beg them for a tracking number numerous times, i did get 1 eventually
the saw eventually turned up on the 22/11/23 unfortunately it was incomplete, and dumped in my rubbish bin. i messaged the company to ask about the order , but no response. now im feeling ripped off,
but hey ho i get a phone call from fedex on the 29-11-23 saying they have a parcel for me. it was the missing part of the whole order.
would i buy from here again. the answer is no..
customer services needs addressing along with their delivery times

Hi Susan, thank you for your review. Delivery for the item you ordered is 2-4 working days. You contacted us and we responded the same day, we did provide tracking details, however this item is dispatched directly from the warehouse and they can be slow at responding with tracking details, but we did chase this up for you. This is something we will look to improve on further. We always try to respond to customers as soon as possible and our response times are generally quicker than those of other online retailers who often take up to 1 week. Delivery was first attempted on 20th Nov, which falls within that time frame, however no-one was available to receive it and that is why it was then delivered on the 22nd November. We are sorry to hear it did not turn up in full and was dumped in your bin, we will feed this back to the courier. I am afraid we did not receive any communication from you that parts were missing and therefore were not able to assist you, had we have known we would have worked hard to resolve this for you as quick as possible, as a small family run business we strive for customer satisfaction and are so sorry you were disappointed on this occasion. Many thanks, Poolewood Machinery.
