The fact that the driver ran out of hours and no one let me know was not good, I had to telephone your company to find out why my delivery did not come.

Delivery was prompt

Delivery was prompt, nice and early, the driver place the goods that I ordered exactly where I requested them to be put, she was very professional polite, I will be using them again in the future as I probably will need more paving slabs and sand to finish of renovating the garden.

Delivery was a day late + no time slot

Delivery was a day late, and then wasn't notified what time the delivery would be. Until 2 hours before the drop, and the bricks I recieved were all chipped... so only 2 stars from me, rather not spend a day waiting in for picki g up and then recieving returns, as the cost of the bricks purchased is far less than a day of my time. But thanks very much anyway Gary 👍

It took 1 phone call to sort out (less than 2 minutes, with a friendly human and no recorded messages or options etc.). The order arrived the next day, less than 24 hours after I made the phone call.
