Ordered a concrete slab 900 x 600 x 50mm £16.97 on SUNDAY 9th May 2024.....still waiting to hear from them to say it's read for collection. When I check it in my account it states 'Awaiting picking'....how long does it take to pick it and contact the customer ?? 4 days and still NOTHING. Will see if they contact me on Friday 15th March 2024 to say it's ready to collect but somehow I won't hold my breath for it. Won't use the company again and if still nothing on Friday...will be asking for a full refund as well.

What was good was the speed of delivery with no extra delivery charge, the price of the goods and the delivery driver was totally brilliant and so helpful. Altogether a really good experience from ordering to delivery. Well done!

Excellent Customer Service
Ordered an internal oak door from the website & it was delivered from the Plympton branch within a couple of days. Was called locally to confirm delivery date. I'd injured my shoulder & the driver even gave me a hand to get it through my front door too. Excellent Customer Service & great priced, great quality door. Very happy!

Great Service
In general, the service was great although on the second delivery I had to phone up to find out where it was and was told that due to a driver shortage, it would be delivered the next day. It wasn't a problem, I just needed to know, that's all.

Good service
Good service, Depot had all I needed for job as well as being competitively priced. Would have liked a notice of delivery date particularly as I had opened an account after ordering. Kept getting message saying “account details being updated” which it didn’t. Fortunately, I was on site when goods arrived so all good in the end.

Ordered decking not banana
Brought new decking for my garden . Delivery was fast and that but as soon as we started to fit the new decking we came up against the problem of the decking boards been bowed from about 20-30mm which ment it took twice as long to fit . Unfortunately we fitted it on a sunday other wise I would of returned it all for a refund . Had to fit it in the end to make it safe for a child it ment 2 people forcing it straight while someone else screws it in .
Emailed mentioned this but no reply back or anything.
Just a general reply would of been nice but nothing
