I live in the south east. I was looking for a particular type of paving slabs and couldn't find a local stockist with the quantity I needed. I hadn't considered looking further afield as I assumed the... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Poor communication and customer service. Terrible delivery times

Paid for next day 10 am delivery (two days before) and on the morning was told the original order was not sent to the delivery company and so it would not be arriving that day. Asked for 10 am arrival the next day which then arrived at 2:30 pm. Delivery driver passed on the form and it stated up to 5 pm delivery so a member of Slade's was not truthful about this. Cost me a day and a half extra for the builder and labourer to which their response to my complaints email for compensation was "Ideally you would wait until you receive the goods before booking contractors to start work" - which is mind blowing. Clearly training needed on how the building industry works.

If you can, go direct to the supplier or buy local.

No communication from delivery courier

Easy to order online. No contact from courier prior to delivery so we were out when he arrived. Unable to get lorry up drive so delivered pallet manually to recessed area agreed with neighbours. Pallet not in good condition. Left voicemail message to advise of delivery after it had been done.
