Excellent help when I made wrong order

I judge an online company by how they react when problems occur. I ordered some wrong parts and cancelled my order. Gardeneco not only stopped my order they quickly offered help. Communication by email was fast and they reimbursed my credit card immediately.

Easy process to order, delivery speedy and as expected

A couple of the tiles were slightly damaged- squashed on the edges, but as they're for underneath a shed and they still fastened together, it wasn't too much of an issue and not worth the hassle of complaining and getting a replacement. Tiles REALLY easy to use and would definitely recommend.

Shed security not good enough

I was very happy with the delivery of the workshop and it arrived early, which is unusual these days. The delivery driver was very helpful and unloading was quite straightforward. Building the shed was quite easy and it went together with few problems - the roof was quite difficult to get right and there is a small error in lining up which is acceptable, considering the size. The only things I was not happy with were the brackets used to secure the roof trusses to the walls. These are flimsy and the walls tended to spread when I got on the roof to nail down the felt.

Security is a major issue. This is a 20x10 workshop, an obvious target for tool thieves. The doors need to be much stronger and made of a thicker material so they do not flex. The door support timbers are also far too light and it is difficult to add more secure locks or bolts because the timber is not wide enough. The lock supplied is incredibly weak and the security supplied as standard could be defeated in seconds just with a screwdriver. I think this is an important point on a workshop of this size.

Martyn what a great review! A very descriptive product, delivery and security review. This is ‘gold dust’ feedback and one for our technical department looking for changes and improvements to the range for 2012. Yes security is an issue and one that we take very seriously. We used to do a security pack but the premium pack which was £250 but found people were reluctant to pay the extra.
There is a balance though and I think we can look to make some simple improvements that well make the bigger buildings more secure.
Thanks again brilliant and is appreciated by all at Gardeneco

Great Service, Good Product, Excellent Price!

I wanted a simple garden shed made out of wood, with no windows. My search online led me to GardenEco. They had the exact thing I wanted at a better price than everywhere else. It took slightly longer to deliver it than expected (which is why I haven't given 5 stars), but GardenEco explained it was due to exceptional demand.

When they did deliver they phoned first (as promised) and, unlike many companies, turned up when they said they would. Their driver also dropped off the components in the spot I'd ask for (useful as it was my elderly mother who accepted the delivery) and didn't just leave them outside the gate.

The shed went together easy as pie. It wasn't even necessary to read the instructions! All the peices were present & correct, including all the fixings. All I needed was my brother (construction is really a two man job) and a few basic tools; hammer, screwdriver and a spanner! Took less than an hour excluding the foundations.

GardenEco offer great service, their sheds are of good quality and their prices are the cheapest I could find. No wonder they are experiencing exceptionally high demand!

Disgraceful

Ordered a potting bench , waited and never recieved it. Got in contact (via email because no one would answer the phone ) and was told the item had just run out of stock and would not be in for two weeks at least , so they would refund me as per company policy. Fair enough i thought until the payment never materialised. Got in contact with them again (via email as once again they never answered their phones ) and explained my situation and my frustration. We'll look into it was their reply. Five days later , still no refund. Once again i emailed asking them to sort out my £60 and got no reply. I would avoid this company like the plague and so will everyone i know. This is not finished as i am not just giving my hard earned money away.

Great company to buy from

we bought the yardmaster garden shed, the website was easiest to use, gave enough specific information without baffling us with science, the product arrived exactly when it said it would. The only downside I'd say is that it's not as easy to assemble as it states. It comes in loads of pieces and does require 2 very abled people to erect it, on saying that once it is build it's a very study and being proved today to be very waterproof. This is more complicated than the average put together item but was well worth the struggle. Maybe yardmaster could produce some better instructions. But gatdeneco will get my business again !!

Avoid at all cost

I ordered a wheelbarrow on Tuesday 9th August. The advertised lead time was and still is 3 days. It had not arrived by the following Monday so I sent an email to chase the delivery. It arrived the next day with deep scratches on the tray from the framework that had been placed loose inside, no hardware or instructions to put it together. I emailed the company that night (Tuesday) to ask for the missing parts to be sent and didn't get a reply, (I decided to put up with the scratches to avoid having to send it back). I sent another email on Thursday and received a reply blaming the delivery company and saying the missing parts would be dispatched immediately. It annoyed me that they didn't accept responsibility for this, as it wasn't dispatched until Monday 15th August (date on dispatch note) and the delivery company are not responsible for inadequate packaging.

Today is Tuesday 23rd August - still no sign of the missing parts, they have not responded to my emails and never answer the phone. I would not buy from this company again and would never recommend it to anyone else.

Great to talk to your partner earlier today. What a pity we haven't got a product review. The parts have been despatched directly to you from the manufacturer free of charge. We have been responding with updates as we have been getting them regarding your missing parts and will be packaging much more carefully from now on. Your feedback although frustrating is incredibly important to us. I apologies again for the manufacturer letting you down with the parts request and hope you will send us a product review and will give us another chance in the future. Thanks again for your constructive criticism, it will only serve to improve our service. Enjoy the rest of the summer

Great customer service following a mix up with Paypal.

Following a mix up with my payment to Gardeneco, their customer service was great and I received the item the next day. To cap it all, the BBQ I'd ordered was out of stock and they upgraded the order to the next model up. Can't argue with service like that.

Very fast delivery

Very fast delivery which was great but I was confused by the email to say it was on it's way as it didnt appear to come from GardenEco, it was from the delivery company instead, which was a bit confusing

Product outstanding customer service poor

The Log cabin we purchased is just fantastic and of the highest quality; now comes the 2 "Buts". Firstly, on two occasions I really needed to speak to someone at Gardeneco regarding delivery dates and about the actual cabin itself and got a recorded message each time and that drove me up the wall particularly when I spend £3500. The second "but" concerns the instructions which were okay to a point but there was nothing about how to fit the windows and doors and there was an issue on the ceiling joists where we spent over an hour trying to figure out how it worked and the manufacturer really needs to sort that out. That said we love the cabin.

Jon firstly, many thanks for your honest product review. I am so please that your cabin meets your expectations. As you know we sell difficult to deliver products that are not straight forward to sell or explain on the internet. Reviews like this help us review our business constantly. I remember your order well. I will contact manufacturing about the windows and doors issue as this is a valid point and this is by no means an amateur task. We have contacted our customers to make critical reviews like this so we can improve our bunnies going forward. I am pleased the product meets your approval and will look critically to see if we can iron out any issues, Should you want to discuss in further detail just drop me a line. Gardeneco

Great product but delivery was a little slow.

The Hawklock system is easy to install and looks quite good even though it will be hidden for some time. Order was not delivered immediately but seller explained that there were delays but the seemed to relate to larger products such as sheds. I contacted company when may patience was wearing thin and was immediately given a delivery date. Good news it arrived on the date!!

Rock Solid Internet Retailer

Purchased Napolean Gas BBQ from Gardeneco in April 2011 after months of on-line research. Gardeneco gave me the best price and I was also able to talk to one of their friendly polite Sales Staff on the telephone about the product prior to my purchase. The product I ordered was delivered on the date they quoted and was exactly what I expected to receive. This is Internet shopping as it should be. Would have no hesitation recommending to a friend.

Awful service

Gardeneco charged my credit card on the 1st April 2011 £349.99 which is linked to my wife's PayPal account after she ordered a shed. After repeated emails from her to the company she received absolutely no responses. She then raised a PayPal dispute after waiting well over 4 weeks without a response. They managed to close the dispute without ever sending the shed. My wife then tried to contact Gardeneco again still to no avail. Their phone system tends to ring through to a voicemail. She informed me yesterday that it still hadn't been sorted so I tried calling and after no answer I called Barclaycard and raised a chargeback on the payment. Today (2nd June 2011) I thought I'll try their phone one last time and finally got an answer. Whoever it was that answered the phone then informed me that they had had an accounts error and had just got off the phone to my wife, although she hadn't decided how to proceed. "Odd", I thought as she had already ordered a new shed as our gardeners are about 1/3 of the way through our garden project. However, I stated that I expected a refund to be issued immediately as she no longer wanted the product from them. I then spoke to my wife after the call to confirm that her PayPal account had been refunded only to find out they had never made that phone call. The cheek of it! This is my first ever review of an online shop, but I can honestly say after such an awful experience I would like others to know how they can treat their customers and I would advise people to think twice before ordering from them.

We have looked through our records and cannot find any trace of this order or you sir. We believe this has been written by a competitor to discredit us. It happens. We take customer service incredibly seriously and each customer gets 100% attention. Paypal also would never allow a customer not to receive a refund as they take customer service as seriously as we do. All in all this review doesn’t make sense. Any customer who would like to discuss ordering can always call us first.
