Question

Do you have any connection with a company called Beehomie.com, which is also currently selling the G45 Pro strimmer at half-price? This company gets extremely bad reviews. It appears not to be UK based.

Exceptional service

Ordering was easy. Cost of the decking was very competitive and sturdy framed. The company responded to a query on the delivery and true to their word the man contacted us when he arrived. He was so helpful and deserves a medal. Delivering on the kerbside was difficult but he managed to came right up to the gate: over a tarmacked path. Amazingly helpful. Everything was packed on a crate and easy and relatively light weight to carry to inside the garden. Took 2 of us less than 10 mins to offload.

Gardenlife stores were very responsive to my request for help and advice. They provided a competitive price and were very efficient at organising prompt delivery. I can highly recommend them.

Are you a real company?

Are you a real company?

There is no mention of Garden Life Stores as a registered company on Gov.uk. Is there a reason for this?

Overall very pleased with Alnwick…

Overall very pleased with Alnwick summerhouse and base. We have almost finished building it. Along the way were a few small issues - firstly the base was missing a peg but we used a nail instead. The latch on the summerhouse was too big and didn't fit tight to both sides but again we put a piece of wood on the inside to make it fit tight. It doesn't seem the right one for this particular door. The tacks for the felt roofing were also too short and kept falling out. We had to use extra long tacks for extra security. Apart from the above we are delighted with it and for your customer service when I asked for delivery requirements.

Very pleased, great company with a personal touch

We recently bought the power pent summer house from garden life stores and it is the perfect addition to our garden. Garden life stores were very helpful and informative about the product. They answered all the queries we had which was a big help in making sure we bought what we needed. GLS has a personal touch you don’t get from big retailers. The summer house was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Great company to deal with from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and would purchase from garden life stores again.

Gardenlife needs to assist and track…

Gardenlife needs to assist and track customer orders till customer is in receipt of order from shipment to delivery. Providing tracking number and carrier and customer having to track and monitor is not acceptable. Customer should not have to phone and track shipment with supplier and delivery service. It is for Gardenlife to perform as the seller of the item. Refunds need to take place immediately, not when Gardenlife receives their refund first from shipper, the customer should never be asked to wait till Gardenlife receives their refund first. The customer comes first as purchased directly from Gardenlife, not from supplier.

Dear Gary, Thank you for your review. Firstly we would like to say we have taken on your feedback as our customers opinions are very important to us.

We felt that we did everything that we possibly could as a store. We initially honored a pre-order which we made clear we do not normally do, but as you were keen to have the item we agreed. Then we price matched the item for you giving you a huge discount.

After this the item was delivered by the date that was given to you by us. The address that had been provided was not your permanent residence which made things difficult as the delivery company for this product do not state a delivery time.

After the item was returned the refund was processed which can take a few days. This is not at our end but sometimes the bank holds the funds for a few days.

We only like to have happy customers so we are very disappointed that you were not fully happy with your experience. We have since decided that this particular brand will be removed from our store to prevent any future problems.

Kind regards
Elizabeth

great customer service

Had a mix up with a delivery company telling us our delivery was on an earlier date, this was false information. Gardenlifestores checked with Asgard and confirmed the true delivery date was as we had been informed, so sorted the matter quickly and efficiently. The bike shed arrived on the correct date and is now housing two bikes, top product, top customer service.

The store worked hard to resolve an issue that occurred with an order. I was impressed with the rapid responses to emails and willingness to try and assist when things had not gone quite right.

After waiting a while for a dispatch message, I was messaged saying rowlinsons would not supply the bolt downs or fence posts unless i buy panels, the order was just cancelled and £10 voucher offered.
First time using the shop so cant recommend and wont be using again. Rowlinson have lost you a potential customer.

Dear Anderia
We are very disappointed by this review as we only like to have happy customers. We are a family business so feedback like this is extremely damaging to our business. We were informed after placing the order that Rowlinsons only dispatched fence posts if you have ordered the panels.

We have since taken the fence posts off the site for this reason. Your order was refunded and a £10 off voucher given to you as the order value was £36.

Please accept our apologies for not being able to supply the order.

Kind regards
