Late delivery

I was given three different dates until the order was delivered on the third date, which was nine days after ordering. Even then no time slot was given, only that it would be delivered up till 2200. Most reputable couriers give a time slot of two hours. Not great.

We have not had the delivery yet as of 21/09/26 . The tracking from Palletways just says it is sitting at their hub but I am aware that you say we cannot track pallet deliveries - I am just conscious that we need to plan our week so that someone needs to be here to take delivery - I suspect sometime this week - so watch this space !

Easy ordering and competitively priced

Order process was easy enough, goods delivered in a fairly timely manor (despite FedEx providing conflicting delivery updates) and Ron Smith kept order status to date with email notifications.
Four stars for their service and efficiency so far, but I haven't experience of their after service, hence the precautionary score.
I'd happily order from this supplier again.
