I've ordered a couple of times now from this company, they always follow up with a phone call to arrange delivery. Their driver (I've had the same one) is amazing. It can be quite difficult sometimes... See more

Not in branch when due, unhelpful staff

Ordered some Oak quadrant and told it would be at my local branch to collect four days later. Then had message it was delayed, rang to progress and then told it was in Malmesbury ( not local to me)and I could I could collect it myself or wait another week. Apparently they were too busy stock taking. Zilch customer service and still waiting for my refund.

Hi Carl, thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. We take all feedback very seriously and have investigated your situation and taken action to make improvements. We have been experiencing some technical issues with our website which was the initial problem with the processing of your order. Our finance team have confirmed that your refund has been completed and you should receive this in the next few days. This is not our usual standard of customer service and for that we must apologise. We understand that you feel let down this time around, but we will happily assist you with any future order requests in hope you will give us a second chance. If you would like to discuss this matter any further please do not hesitate to get touch using the following email: enquiries@kellaway.co.uk

Dear Samuel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback with us. We take all reviews seriously and appreciate your input. However, we do not tolerate any form of derogatory or offensive language towards our employees.

Our team members are an integral part of our business, and we do not condone any form of discrimination or bullying. We strive to maintain a positive and respectful work environment for all our employees and customers.

We kindly request that you refrain from using any offensive language in your future interactions with our business.

Please note that due to the different aggregates used in brick production, it is difficult to get an exact match, and each pack may differ slightly. However, we suggest that you buy all the bricks you need at once and mix all the different packs together to get a blend that matches your requirements.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Disappointed with the delivery as I…

Disappointed with the delivery as I requested that I was contacted with a date when the items would be delivered so that I could arrange for access for it to be put at the back of the house, instead they were dumped in my front garden, so I had to arrange for a family member to help me move them, also the fence panels were different colours so didn't match.

Very prompt and friendly delivery

Very prompt and friendly delivery, but did not ring to arrange as the website said, and I asked. Should perhaps be clearer about delivery process...
