Arrived Damaged and Late

The logs arrived damaged, the seller failed to deliver them on the first two dates advised and communication was poor, I am still awaiting a response to my last email.

I ordered a small wheelie bin but they delivered the wrong size one. They are withholding a refund that I am owed. Their courier failed to follow instructions to collect the bin. Its been waiting to be collected for over a week. NOBODY answers the phone.

We booked in a collection for the bin on the day requested but when the courier arrived there was nobody there. We have not withheld any funds. We have booked in a new courier and will happily replace the bin or refund on safe receipt. We do not own the courier company in question. All communications have been replied to.

Dreadful experience

Dreadful experience , nice furniture when it eventually arrived at my address after DPD left it elsewhere randomly I had to pay to have it delivered Not Dawsons fault but the lack of customer service is dire never again

Tried ringing emailing from the Wednesday no reply so not just at weekend as other reviews stated. Are they closed on Friday when delivery went wrong ?
2.01 pm first call after wrong delivery and I rang Wednesday also .
Gift gaff answer phone
DPD also called at 2.12 and answered immediately very helpful

Sorry about the issue you had with the DPD delivery. As you stated this was an issue with the courier. We were bombarded with calls and emails over the weekend when our office was closed. Our first email/contact was on Friday evening after we closed. We replied and resolved issues first thing on Monday morning as soon as we were aware of the issue. This review is being passed on to our legal team for advise on proceedings.

Very very poor company

Very very poor company. Promised 50kg of firewood, delivered less than 30kg. Tried to ignore my emails asking for the rest. The firewood is supposed to be hardwood but most of it looks like pine, smells like pine and burns like pine. I’ve just put a big log on and it is absolutely not burning like hardwood- it burst into flame immediately. These people are really bad at giving you what you have paid for so it would be best to avoid buying anything from them.

🚨The alleged (NEW As advertised gazebo)…

🚨The alleged (NEW As advertised gazebo) I received was in poor condition and not suitable for use. It had visible rust, bent corners, and would not open properly. The quality was disappointing, as the item appeared to be used & not new Based on my experience, I would not recommend this product or company to use on Amazon. I had to send back at my own cost of £19 for a full refund due to the 16kg weight. I have asked Amazon customer services to record this for their info. The advisor had done this.🚨 order direct from Amazon & not third party seller as you will not be covered for return. First time this has happened to me on Amazon.

I purchased 8 Led Chinese Lanterns at…

I purchased 8 Led Chinese Lanterns at £19.99 each from Dawsons Living. I received one package with 3 lanterns in it, which was left in a safe place. I notified them and they responded back by saying all 8 were delivered with a photo of the one package I received in the safe place.

I've emailed and telephoned (noone answers) but received nothing.

If I don't hear back soon ref delivery of remaining 5 lanterns or refund I will get in touch with Citizens Advice Bureau.

I'm sorry but that is a lie. I've emailed you and no response. I've phone you and it goes straight to voicemail.

I have not received 2 deliveries from you.

I received a delivery from B&Q through your company. That delivery was also messed up but eventually got the 2 lanterns from B&Q. I have only received 3 of 5 lanterns ordered directly through Dawson living. I don't know how many times I need to say this. Sort my delivery out!

Hello

I have the following missing:

Round Moroccan Blue x 2
Round Moroccan Green x 2
Oval Moroccan Silver x 1

Once I have confirmation of shipment I will change the Trust Pilot status.

I am glad we managed to get this resolved and your missing lanterns will be with you shortly. It was an honest packing error.

Fast delivery - Great prices

Fast delivery, great discount price on premier garden accessories/covers for Furniture. Way cheaper than the Manufacturer, plus a 20% end of season discount made the price nearly £80 cheaper. Wow. Five stars!

Ordered a Sun Lounger through Amazon…

Ordered a Sun Lounger through Amazon and on delivery it was faulty straight away, the material came away from the side. All the reviews on there were for a different chair altogether but any reviews for the same Sun lounger now have the same problem as me, contacted them and they were rude, unapologetic and just offered a refund if I sent the product back, eventually spoke to a manager and she said the owner works on the Amazon side of things and he doesn’t care, and that these Sun loungers are brought back constantly instore, this company is knowingly selling faulty items and the owner can’t even apologise or show any customer service skills. Absolutely dreadful experience, do not buy from this company.

This is not the case, wee sell thousands of loungers and any faulty goods can be returned free of charge for an exchange or full refund.

So happy with my recent purchase of the Bistro Set , 2 chairs , coffee table and footstool
The chairs are so comfortable and relaxing with the added bonus that they are easily stackable for storage during the winter

Dawsons Living are a great company that I stumbled on ( I was originally going to place my order through Amazon), but decided to go directly through them
First class service and delivery, and great communication
Thank you very much
