United Kingdom | 21 January 2022Reading reviews on this site regarding OBS it appears clear that replies from Ian are mostly directed to those who leave good reviews at the expense of those who have suffered poor service and appalling lack of communication. I have purchase on two occasions, on both the goods arrived within the time frame promised. However the second delivery had one pallet of broken slabs where it had clearly been dropped. I took photos of the damage and sent them to Ian asking for a refund only for the damaged slabs but heard nothing. I left 5 messages on his phone over several weeks all to no avail and also resent the photos. I am still awaiting some resolution. Ian when you read this review and I know you will, do the decent thing and refund my money.

United Kingdom | 23 November 2021I have ordered some floor boards on the 9th September. I was told that they would be delivered within 1 to 2 weeks. I have sent two emails and I have left 1 voicemail asking for them to contact me. And I haven’t heard anything. We need them by the weekend as our builder can’t proceed without them and I can not contact anyone as no one answers the phone or replies to emails……. Ian did get hold of me and arranged for delivery on Thursday 25th. Hopefully it will all run smoothly.

United Kingdom | 26 October 2021I have placed an order for chipboard and advised that it may take up to 1-2 weeks to arrive. The 2 weeks is up tomorrow and I have not been contacted regarding a delivery date. I have emailed twice, both of which have been ignored. I have phoned and was informed that I would be called back..... I haven't received the promised phone call nor the products. Needless to say payment was taken in full at the time of the order.

United Kingdom | 09 September 2021Ordered four pallets of concrete blocks, one bulk sand and five bags cement. Rang them just before ordering delivery was two days. Can't beat their prices, and service was brilliant. Delivery to South Wales.

HARRY MOREWOOD
United Kingdom | 18 May 2021Ordered 2 ton of sand and five bags of cement said on website delays due to COVID which I can understand Oder was placed on 21st of April and still no delivery 18th of may and no response to any attempt to contact them no update on delivery time frames complete lack of communication starting to wonder if this website is a scam. Extra star because since writing this review the company has got in contact and arranged a delivery date if delivered when on the day will increase the rating Delivery arrived. extra star for quickly sorting the issue was raised delivery was with in 2 days great job.

United Kingdom | 01 April 2021Very pleased with the service we received. The website is very clear that the delivery times were approx 1-2 weeks due to the current climate. We placed our block paving order on the evening of the 22nd March and it arrived today,1st April. I only had to contact the company once to confirm the delivery date and they rang me back straight away. Extremely happy, would highly recommend them and they will be our first choice for our next project. Many thanks!

United Kingdom | 24 March 2021Ordered 14 lengths of chipboard flooring. The site does warn even before purchase that it is taking up to 2 weeks for delivery due to covid restrictions. My only gripe was that I got an initial delivery day covering 2 days but unfortunately nothing was delivered. I chased up and got sent another date and this time there were no problems at all. Appreciate I had a small order in comparison and appreciate they use local suppliers so possible that the delay was not their fault. All above was okay as I was not in any hurry and since I am working from home was not put out by the delivery change. Overall product as expected and cheaper that I could source locally and plus I was struggling to get the flooring delivered at all elsewhere Thank you and would use the company again

Mr Gavin
United Kingdom | 22 March 2021I’ve placed an order for gravel for my driveway on Saturday 13th March. Since then, today is Monday 22nd March, I have left 2 voicemails, 3 emails and one WhatsApp message - no response! I’m now at the point that I’m feeling like I’ve been scammed!!!!

Philip Smith
United Kingdom | 08 February 2021I have read a lot of reviews, some good and some bad. I can only go on my experience which has been brilliant. Items I ordered came on time, friendly delivery staff and superb customer service that replied to my emails and answered my queries . I will use them again and I am very pleased.

Soozi Gould
United Kingdom | 31 January 2021Ordered 3ton of grey shingle, and received 3ton of gold/brown shingle. When my husband phoned the company he was told that the colour varies. Why would a company advertise particular colours if they cannot supply them. Also travis Perkins told us that they don’t do grey just bog standard pea shingle. I am extremely upset that my vision for my landscaping has been ruined by their lack of complying with trading standards. I would not recommend using this company for any building materials as you cannot guarantee you will get what you want and the after sales was nonexistent

Katie
United Kingdom | 18 November 2020I have sent a number of emails requesting a return of some items that I over ordered. The first reply stated it wouldn’t be a problem but no mention of when the items due to be returned would be collected. A week later and still no response on when this will be collected.

Allie D
United Kingdom | 15 September 2020I placed an order with them and never received it, after a few emails saying it was coming but would never showed up. update I received a refund.

Jonathan Davies
United Kingdom | 26 August 2020Placed an order on Aug 11th and appreciated that there could be delays due to the current pandemic situation. So I was pleasantly surprised to have an email on Aug 19th saying delivery would be made on Monday Aug 24th between 7am and 5pm. So I cancelled my clients for the day to wait in for delivery. By 4:30 it had not arrived so I emailed to see where it was. At 7:30pm I emailed again to ask what was going on and if delivery had been delayed then I could not take it on the Tuesday or Wednesday but please let me know. By midday Tuesday still no response so I used the contact form on the company website to ask again. By close of day still nothing! The order eventually turned up on Aug 26th - one of the days I said no to. Luckily it arrived just as I was leaving to see clients! And to crown it all, the delivery company was my local Jewson builders merchants!! So, prices may be keen with free delivery BUT the company is useless in keeping to its own delivery dates! It's worse than useless at communicating with its customers, neither informing them nor responding to queries. Unless I'm desperate I doubt I'll be buying here again!

United Kingdom | 18 August 2020The worst building suppliers I’ve ever used. To say this company is a joke is an understatement. Where to start...I ordered my required materials, delivery turned up the week after promised. Only 1/2 of my order was on the delivery meaning I was unable to complete the job that day. When I called to ask about the materials, they didn’t have a clue. I also told them if it wasn’t coming can they just tell me so I can start another job. The only thing I was repeatedly told on the phone was that he’d find out and call me back...never called back. I didn’t start a new job for the next 2 days Incase the delivery arrived. Materials arrived the week after...materials were wrong! Myself and client was now fuming at this point. Not only could this job not be completed but we was none the wiser to when the remaining delivery would arrive. After another 20 odd phone calls it turns out they never had my required items in stock so had just sent out something else. I ended up cancelling the remaining items and ordering from somewhere else. Bottom line - they take your money regardless if the items are available or not. They Don’t get back to you at any stage. They don’t deliver on time or with the correct items. I lost 2 days money waiting around for a possible delivery. Ended up with an upset client that I couldn’t correctly inform of the situation as this company would never call me back with an update. ... Every time I called I spoke to IAN so anyone placing future orders just be aware that he’s useless and doesn’t have a clue. Don’t expect a straight answer/explanation or a returning phone call

United Kingdom | 14 August 2020Fantastic quick service. Great delivery and product of a high quality

Chris
United Kingdom | 03 July 2020Well I ordered and was told that due to COVID my order would be delayed and I could expect it within 1 Or 2 weeks. After a month And calls to chase I eventually got some of what I ordered. (Delivered a day after the day promised after waiting in all day) and after I had to phone to chase again. Received a refund for some of what I ordered and that wasn’t received (plaster) but other items where also not delivered despite being told they would be. Two emails chasing a refund and no response. Not good enough hence the poor review ! I gave you a chance and will be on to my credit card company in the morning !!

Gary Penfold
United Kingdom | 11 June 2020I’m writing this review to say thank you for all your efforts in trying to get items during this present climate also the good communication via emails unfortunately I cancelled my order as I managed to get my items local but I received my refund the next day after I cancelled with no hassle at all I will definitely use your services in the future 👍👍 once again thank you
