Poor customer service

Ordered a large sum of timber for my staircase. 1.5 months later the materials got delivered after countless delays and chasing/excuses

Thank you for writing this review. Its not good to hear that we let you down on timescales and although its painful to get a 1 star, we can understand your point of view. Your comments are fair and this has been noted for internal review. I believe we had to restock in the longer lengths which caused the delays. We are sorry this impacted on your project . We will endeavour to use this for our learnings. Thanks again

High quality timber and fantastic service

I'm a product designer and maker, there is a lot of sources for timber available and Timbersource is by far the best there is.

I've ordered multiple cuts from them before and they have always arrived at the specified sizes - to the millimetre. The team at Timbersource are also a good bunch, always open to chat through a project and recommend alternatives.

Could not recommend enough!

Great service even for small order

Although a small order I was kept informed throughout and when there was a problem with the type of wood I had selected, they called me to discuss alternatives. Arrived safely and when expected. Perfect for the job! Will use again.

The website was reasonably easy to use…

The website was reasonably easy to use however it does not give a price as this has to be phones for. So I telephoned and ordered the required wood. The quality of the wood, when received, was good as was the packaging.
