Good value, friendly helpful staff.

Wern is good value for money and friendly helpful staff.
The only advice I would give would be to update your delivery costs when ordering online. ie not free when order is over £350 but £40
Also cover the timber when in the truck so as not to arrive soaking wet. Also to phone 30mins before delivery like a lot of companies do now.

Didn't get as advertised

Didn't get as advertised, ordered 100m machined posts and got 50 - 70mm stick posts not at all happy.
Called to complain and was told the manager will call me back that was a week ago and still waiting.

Paid over double for a product that isn't up to the task.

Great timber merchant

Have purchased timber twice from this company and both times it has been excellent. Collection couldn't be easier as you get a message telling you when your order is ready .
Prices are good too

Poor delivery service

Amazing quality wood ... just the delivery side of it was a tad to long tuck way over a week to turn up

And no emails to even say when it was out for delivery

Thanks for your review, Robert — we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Sorry the delivery took longer than expected and that you didn’t receive updates — that’s not the standard we aim for. We’ve since made improvements to our delivery scheduling and communication to avoid that happening.

Good to hear you were happy with the quality of the timber.

Thanks again for your order and your feedback.

Delivery was three days later than…

Delivery was three days later than promised and someone in the office kept saying he would phone me back with updates but never did. When the wood was eventually delivered the driver was very good and helpful. This was my second delivery and on the first one I couldn’t fault the service. I will use them again as the wood is good quality

Thanks for your review — we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Sorry the delivery didn’t go to plan on this occasion and that the follow-up wasn’t there when it should have been — that’s not the standard we aim for. We’ve since made improvements to how we manage delivery updates and communication.

Glad to hear the driver was helpful and that you’re happy with the quality of the timber, and we really appreciate you coming back to us again.

Thanks again for your support — we’ll be here when you need us next.
