Order delivered Sat 15th after several apologies and a refund in delivery charges. Wood finished as expected and in perfect condition. Many thanks

Hi Kevin,

We’re very sorry for the delay with your order and for the frustration it has caused — this isn’t the experience we want for our customers, and your order should have been dispatched by now. It seems our delivery team may have overlooked this order; while that’s no excuse, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

I’ll personally follow up with the delivery team to ensure your order is dispatched as soon as possible and will update you immediately once I hear back from them.

Many thanks,
Tracy

Misleading delivery times – not 2–3 days as advertised

The website clearly states 2–3 day delivery, but in reality the order took over a week to arrive.
No clear communication or updates during the delay — I had to chase them several times to find out what was going on.

When you run a business and plan your work around promised delivery times, this kind of delay causes serious inconvenience.
Good product quality, but the delivery time and customer communication definitely need improvement.

Promises 2/3 days delivery on the website - 8 days later and no guarantee of when it will arrive. Booked builder and had to cancel. Can’t get my money back.

ITEM ARRIVED BADLY DAMAGED

Ordered a piece of melamine board 150 x 35 that sadly arrived with 4 large-ish chips on the corners and sides - obviously from being thrown around by courier company. I have contacted MDF Direct to voice my displeasure- have received emails stating that the matter is being investigated - so now just waiting for the verdict of these investigations.

UPDATE

I have received an email with the results of their investigation and am pleased to report that a replacement item is on its way plus refund of original delivery costs. I must say that the company have been very prompt in their actions and always courteous.

I placed our order a week before it was required and even after chasing, it has still not arrived a week later.
Sadly we wont be using them again after this as we need to have reliable deliveries.......will this order even arrive and be correct ?

Update - Our order has now been delivered and is correct. Communication received from the account manager to resolve the delay and overall a good outcome :)

Dont believe their delivery promises

On their website they say delivered in 2 or 3 days. I paid extra for the postage service because I wanted the product as quickly as possible. Even then it arrived in 6 days.

Great product but make sure you order well in advance.

2-3 days were estimated for my delivery. 1 week have passed, and yesterday after many chats and emails I managed to get it shipped, however half of my order was missing. I received 2 boards out of the 5. I requested refund. After posting this review, the company contacted me by phone and offered additional money on top of the refund if I removed the review, which I found inappropriate.

Good service

After 10+ years, I needed a new mattress. The product I wanted recommended that it shouldn't be used with slats with large gaps - guess what my bed frame has.

Save buying a new base/frame, the DIY solution was to have some 3mm MDF cut to size to be laid over the slats. After research, MDF Direct provided the best value quotation, cut to the exact size I needed without restrictions, all with a reasonable shipping cost.

Enna provided multiple updates regarding the order, including any possible delays (which in the end did not occur). The driver arrived on time and was courteous. The order was wrapped appropriately and was to exact specification.

A good experience overall - I would recommend the company.

Ordered some materials for working away

Ordered some materials for a working away job, in advance so they would arrive without issue.
They emailed a day or so later to say there was an issue with the suppliers and it would be delayed.
I emailed back with my concerns about the order not being delivered in time for the job.
However they emailed me back to say the items have been allocated for my job and will be delivered within the correct time scale.

They were delivered by the driver without issue, as I wasn't able to be available for the delivery the driver managed to leave them on the premises outside but went above and beyond to make sure they were all covered over & elevated off the ground so they didn't get damaged by the rain or moisture

Excellent service from start to finish. MDF Direct were very helpful in advising which type of MDF we should use, and the process of replacing our order was smooth and stress-free. They kept us updated throughout and delivered right on time. I would highly recommend them.

Great service and great product

I am not a frequent user of MDF Direct and by no means was my order a large one. But the were excellent event for my small order. Their attention to detail on the cutting of the piece I needed, their contact with me to check which way I wanted the grain to run on the veneer, and their speedy dispatch of the perfect fit piece I needed was superb. To cap it all the delivery driver was very helpful indeed -- and working late into the afternoon/early evening to ensure I received my piece on the day promised.
