Great service !
Great communication from branch and delivery driver . Branch phoned promptly, thanked me for my order and asked when I would like delivery. Delivery driver phoned and told me when he would arrive and when he did he couldn’t have been more helpful in putting my order where i wanted it. Great customer service, thanks.

Didn't come on the arranged day
We ordered on Friday, and they rang us on Monday and asked which day we'd like the delivery. We said Wednesday. Tuesday morning we found they'd delivered and left everything outside in the rain - plywood and MDF skirting boards. As we're both retired it would have been nice of them to carry the plywood indoors for us. And to have come on the day we'd arranged.

Good Afternoon Mrs Reid
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I am saddened to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to the delivery arriving outside of when you had arranged it and the goods being left in the rain.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.
Kind Regards,
Sam
