Whilst the order didn't go to plan the customer service from Ruby was excellent and she tried to resolve issues proactively, with good communication.

Excellent customer service!

Excellent customer service!
I needed to amend my order after putting it through. Rang customer service and got through to Roisin, she was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Would recommend this company!

Aoife helped aid me in my purchase

Aoife helped aid me in my purchase. Whilst doing so she was prompt, diligent and considerate to my needs and wants. Because of this I will be prompted to purchase from here again! Thank you Aoife and Garden Timber

Stay well clear of this awful company

Probably the worst online company I have had the misfortune to deal with. My experience was similar to many here. No communication - not a single email or acknowledgement of my order - and no show of the goods ordered. Not even an attempt to set a date for delivery. I thought it was a scam but have just received a refund. Don’t deal with them. Life is way too short for their stunning incompetence.

Would order again

Ordered off this company and the whole experience was very pleasant. I ordered over the phone and the sales rep Jack was very easy to deal with. Everything arrived in perfect condition.

Customer non-service.

Product ordered, 19 days later no delivery. Messages ignored (facebook, email). Rude on the telephone when I enquired about my lack of delivery. Order cancelled--we'll see how long the refund takes, too long and I'll be forced to take it further as others have had to do. Should have read the reviews. Avoid.

Really pleasant company to deal with

Really pleasant company to deal with. Made an order with Jack, who was very helpful to deal with and was able to get me everything I needed within my budget. I received constant communication with updates regarding my order and everything came on time and just as expected

Took the money but had no product to sell

I needed a large order of garden timber and after looking at this company's website all seemed OK. Wrong! I should have looked at other reviews first!
My order was for £600 worth of pressure treated timber. They took the money in full on order but, it now transpires, had no product whatesoever to sell. I received an automated email every 7 days saying that my order was still being processed.
After 35 days I gave up and contacted them to cancel the order and ask for a refund (this was after earlier subsequent emails to which they replied that my order would be delivered the following week - it wasn't). They subsequently emailed to say they had cancelled my order and that I would receive a full refund as they agreed their 'non service' was poor. That was a month ago and still no refund...
I don't like knocking businesses as we are all trying to make a living but this is just a dreadful operation...Buyer beware!!
