Furniture never delivered, despite showing it had been left in “safe place”. Company doesn’t respond to emails. Now in hands of my bank. Avoid these scammers.

Very poor packaging meant sharp blades of the product were sticking out the side of the cardboard box, product itself could of been damaged or worse somebody could have been injured!

I spent £429.95 January 21 for garden furniture. Told it had been delivered on February 6. But certainly not to me. The tracking says it was delivered to Leeds I am in Hampshire. Seems impossible to... See more

Out Of Stock

The Item I 'Bought' online was out of stock!
The website said there was 5 in stock and allowed me to purchase the item.
I got a phone call later that day, to say no stock available and I would be refunded, possibly within 2 days!
Customer service was ok, but need to get the website updated!

Please accept my apologies for this item arriving like this. This is not the kind of service we wish our customers to receive.

I ordered a 1.8 metre veg trog, not a lightweight piece of kit, during the afternoon and it was here the next day. Just on standard delivery. Fantastic service. Thanks.

Guardian growhouse.

Arrived within two days of ordering. One of the easiest things I have ever put together. Roomy and easy to manage. Nice and sturdy. Plants seem right at home!

Bulldog Garden Rake

Product was cheaply priced compared to other retailers although it is quite heavy compared to my old leaf rake. I ordered the item on a Thursday and chose the Next Day Delivery option at a cost of £6.95. Unfortunately, this was overlooked and my order was sent out Royal Mail 48hrs, and did not arrive until the Monday. I queried this with Garden Essentials and they said they would refund me the difference in costs. Nevertheless, I would probably use this company again, but would not opt for Next Day delivery!

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review. We apologize your order did not arrive next day as requested. There was a technical fault which caused your parcel to be sent 48hr service. This has now been resolved. We refunded the full carriage amount paid to yourself. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We look forward to dealing with you in the near future.
Kind regards

Great price and service

Great service best price on the internet and quick delivery.
seem a very professional company
My only criticism would be that when ordered it asked for any requests to be noted in provided text box. We asked for an indication of expected time of delivery to our home, or just AM/PM. This did not happen and delivery just turned up, luckily we were in and took delivery from driver who was friendly and obliging. Other than the no delivery time notification we are very happy with the service and the product Lazy Spa palm Springs hot tub is brilliant, better than we had expected.

Fast, efficient service

I turned to Garden Essentials when I couldn't obtain a fleece cover for my medium trug from my local garden centre. My order came within days and I am very pleased with my purchase.
