Great customer service

I recieved a rio125 tank stand only.
The item arrived with a part damaged from shipping, however once i emailed the customer service they sent the replacement part next day delivery for free.

Although the item that arrived broken dissapointed me the customer service’s understand and speed to get me a replacement part is commendable.

Dear Will,

Thank you for your review.

We would like to apologise again that a small section of the stand initially arrived damaged - this is certainly not the quality or experience that we aim for.

We are happy to hear that the issue was rectified swiftly and that you are now completely satisfied with your purchase and overall experience.

Outstanding service and quality products

I am most pleased with the BioHort shed bought from GardenSite. This really is a high quality product. The instructions for mounting the shed are exemplary and I had no problem at all putting the shed up, mostly single handedly except for the moment the walls needed to be lifted in place, when an extra pair of hands was indispensable.

At the early stages of ordering the shed and accessories, customer service reached out to me and gave absolutely valuable advice related to the floor frame and fixings I would need. One (non-essential) part was the wrong size and customer service took quickly care of arranging for the correct item to be dispatched. I must say I have nothing but praise for the outstanding service provided.

Grange Elite Portico Arch

I bought a Grange Elite Portico Arch, which is a large arch, to straddle our garden steps. The ordering process and delivery were easy and smooth.
Communication has been excellent, particularly helping me to decide which post spikes to source and use. I used Forest Green 450 x 45mm spikes (they are adjustable up to the 60mm of the arch posts).
Erection of the arch was easier than expected. I had one helper and two step ladders. It would have been quicker if the screw holes in the roof rafters and side panels had been pre drilled, but otherwise all went well.
The critical thing is to "plant" the spikes exactly correctly. we didn't achieve perfection, but were satisfied with the result.
Overall I'm happy to recommend both the arch as a good one and GardenSite as a company to do business with.

Very poor product. Disgraceful service.

We ordered an elite greenhouse online and had it delivered to Orkney.

It arrived with no packing list and after erecting the frame it was found that 14 panes of glass were 25mm short!! We were sent some plastic strips to bodge up the gap.

There were a number of parts missing, 24 plastic strips, bracing bar, silicon sealer x 8. Not all of these were found out at the same time due to the absence of a packing list. Some of these parts took 3 weeks to arrive.

The instructions for assembly were indecipherable (not fit for purpose) and it therefore took an age (10 weeks) to erect after also accounting for the missing parts to arrive.

The greenhouse leaks profusely. There is no seal whatsoever where the roof glass meets the eaves and the 32’ long gutter which is one and a half inch diameter has no fall/slope on it at all. Water therefore fills up and leaks back into the greenhouse.

We have been told to order more glass and get someone to replace it, provide a receipt which gardensite will then pay. This would involve taking all the front glass out and replacing it, in December. Also of course arranging all this ourselves and paying for it beforehand. Not what we want.

We have asked for compensation for the extra time taken and the poor quality of the product, also for the hassle and time with the glass and assembly. This has been refused.

We feel we have had disgraceful service and been sold a product that was not fit for purpose and also not of satisfactory quality. We do of course feel that we have been completely ripped off.

BUYER BEWARE. This company is not prepared to fulfil its obligations under the consumer protection act 2015.

We wish we had seen the poor reviews of these greenhouses prior to ordering. If we had not spent so much time, effort and money putting up this greenhouse, it would be going in the skip.

No Notification of Delivery

The order to which I am referring is my THIRD order with the company. My FIRST order went swimmingly well with a first class service. However, on my SECOND order, there was no notification from either the seller nor the courier of a delivery date. They simply turned up. Luckily, I was at home. I chalked this up to a one off glitch.
My THIRD order at which this review is directed transpired in the same manner as the second delivery. No notification of delivery date. The delivery men told me that they had been instructed by the seller to deliver on that specific day and yet the seller did not inform me. Indeed they told me beforehand that the courier service would contact me for a suitable delivery date. The courier service told me that they do not arrange their deliveries with the customer and that all that was done with the seller.
I emailed customer services with a complaint about this as it was obvious that this incident could no longer be considered a 'one-off'. I received no reply to the two emails nor even an acknowledgement of receipt indicating that the company did not want to know when it comes to constructive criticism. I put a review on their website but I doubt that they will publish it. Reviews on seller's websites are useless unless they publish any negative reviews as well as the positive.
My experience with this company was a fine start that quickly deteriorated.

Dear Trev A,

Thank you for your review.

We are sorry to hear that you were less than satisfied with your latest experience with GardenSite. We have to put trust in our suppliers and the couriers to deliver our items as contracted to do so, and we can only apologise if your latest delivery did not go as smoothly as the first time you ordered.

With regards to the complaint you say you sent in, I have checked our inbox and cannot see this. The last email I can see is from 17 Oct 2023 in which a member of the Customer Care team replied to your email sent on 16 Oct 2023 telling you that your order had been dispatched.

Lastly, as for posting reviews, we do not have the facility to 'filter out' negative reviews/only publish the positive ones. As you will see from the reviews on this platform, whilst the majority are 4 or 5 stars, we do have some lower-star reviews that are monitored and replied to accordingly.

Again we apologise for any inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Great shed

Recently ordered a Palram Canopia Rubicon shed from Gardensite. Very easy company to deal with, phone calls answered really quickly and the price was most fair. I had a technical query which they researched before getting back to me the same day. Faultless service. The shed is great. Took me 5 hours to put together but then I did do it on my own. Very sturdy once put together. I like the double skin wall panels of the Rubicon and the floor is a decent thickness. I give the product 5 stars also

Recently purchased a pergola kit but omitted to purchase a side panel. The kit is excellent, a really good price and was speedily delivered. Unfortunately despite the excellent efforts of the Customer Care staff of Garden Site, the actual supplier (Forest) could not supply the additional panel. Am really impressed with Garden site, their pricing, value for money, communication and customer care and will definitely purchase from them again and highly recommend.

Henri Studio Water Plume LED lights

I bought a Henri Studio Water Plume LED light kit online from this company on 4th April 2003. It lasted about 3 months when some of the lights stopped working. I contacted them and they sent out a replacement transformer free of charge. The lights partially worked so I supposed that was the best I could expect. Since then the lights stopped working altogether. I contacted them again. They said I would have to agree to there terms and conditions book. They now say that under clause 9.3 I would have to return them for testing and if they found no fault I would have to pay for the testing. This would mean dismantling my water feature, which would no longer work as the lights create a seal at the top. I wrote back saying that I would have accepted a partial refund. They contacted the manufactor on my behalf, who wanted photos of the lights not working. This I did and received a £25 refund. I have decided to not replace the lights in future as these were replacements of the original set and didn't last 3 months. This is the manufactor's fault not the Garden Site.

Dear Keith,

We are still working on your enquiry and had not concluded this matter at the time of this review, I am sorry you feel you have had to "give up". Your latest email has been received after your review was posted. We are a working garden centre and a specialist aquatic store, at times our email responses can take a little longer, we are also available 7 days a week on the phone should you need to get hold of us. We are certainly not just an online website. If a customer has purchased an item either instore or online as with the majority of physical retail stores it is reasonable to test an item and to further investigate any concern, especially for electrical items. We do NOT charge for testing, again I am sorry you have miss understood this. We do state;
9.3 Some products may need to be sent in for testing to determine whether they are faulty. If, after testing, we have found the product to be in good working order, you will be charged a fee to receive your product back.

I am sorry if we have not met your expectation on this occasion and I am more than happy to continue to discuss this matter further with you.

Kind regards,
Dan

Water Feature problem fixed

Bought a Water Feature last year. This Summer it stopped working. Called Customer Services and Kayleigh confirmed that it was still under warranty and arranged a replacement transformer to be sent. This arrived in a couple of days and when installed the feature was up and running again. Judge a company not on how it looks when everything is running smoothly but how they deal with problems when they occur. As in this example no quibble just got on with fixing the problem quickly.
