Thank you
Would never buy again
The package was delivered with visible damage to the box. This was recorded with photos. We were not ready to put the shed up but when we opened the box almost every panel was bent, buckled, scratched or dented.
The company were initially helpful and advised damage in transit was often the case and offered replacement or compensation. Despite continuing communication with them neither ever materialised.
Having emailed them again no response was ever received.

Hi
We always try to help even when the damage is reported outside the required time limit. We understand you have built the shed and it is use. The last email we received did not seem to need a reply but if you would like to contact us direct with some photos of the finished building we are happy to have another look at your case. Sorry if you felt we were ignoring you. I can assure you this was not the case.
Regards
Misleading photo of items colour
When I searched the internet for a blue garden storage box, a photo of a blue box was shown on their page. This is misleading as the box is black. I missed this in the written description as I was looking at the photo. I rang the company and asked them to remove the misleading photo. They have not

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you missed the written description of the storage box. Unfortunately example photos can vary on different screens and browsers and also depend on the light conditions when photos were taken and many other factors. This is why we make sure our descriptions are accurate and are in a prominent place for people to read.
We are sorry of you missed this.

Thank you so much.
Ordering and delivery were very good
Ordering and delivery were very good , came well packaged, my only reason for the missing star is that the instructions where a little vague and my suggestion would be to mark the panels with the pictures to reflect which item to work on as this wasn’t clear in the instructions

Online staff are great - delivery is abismal
The online staff are great, but they are let down badly by the very poor standard of the delivery company DX

Thank you for your review. Regrettably the only way we can deliver bulky items quickly and cheaply is to use national carriers. Most deliveries happen without a hitch.
We are sorry that in this case your delivery had some minor damage but we are pleased we were able to supply a replacement part promptly.

Purchased the 20ft x 13ft garage recently, the condensation build up it creates is just ridiculous and the rain pours into it, spoke to a lady at the company for help, which was less than forthcoming to say the least, the garage is not fit for purpose, and anything in it gets soaked, so a complete waste of money, and a company who dosnt give a dam and just fobs you off

We are sorry that you feel disappointed with your purchase and the service received. This is despite our attempts to help you during the assembly and despite our explanation of how condensation is attracted to cold hard services and how, particularly after a brand new base dries out this is much less of a problem. We have asked for photos which you declined to email. These structures should not leak and if you are able to contact us directly with the photos we requested we are still happy to offer advice that will hopefully solve any potential issues regarding water ingress.
Thank you.
