First class customer service!
I recently placed an order with Lawsons and was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient and completely hassle‑free.
In particular, I want to highlight Terry, who was courteous and thoroughly professional throughout. He took the time to keep me updated with regular phone calls, which really reassured me that my order was on track and would be delivered as promised. Terry’s customer service approach clearly showed that he puts the customer first, and his proactive communication made the whole experience stress‑free and straightforward.
Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to use Lawsons again and I’m happy to recommend them to others looking for reliable products and excellent customer service.
Well done Terry, you're a credit to Lawsons, so please keep up the great work!

Deliveries are quite prompt and the drivers are helpful with the unloading in the best place to suit the customer. (within reason )

Poor Delivery/Tracking Service
I chose to order from this company as it was the most competitive price, but that was the only plus point. I received this invitation to review, 2 days after placing the order, but the order had not arrived, so not sure how they expect a rating when the order had not even been delivered!!!Delivery was stated as 3-5 business days, which was fine, I would hoped it would have been sooner rather than later. However by the 5th day I had heard noting and there was no way of progress chasing the order on line with an expected delivery date and time (most suppliers do offer this), so I rang the customer to enquire when it would be coming and was told between 1pm and 2pm that day, by 2.30pm no sign of it, so rang again to be told it was on it's way and maybe it had held up in traffic, but the depot is only 20 minutes from here, if that was the case then maybe someone could have called me. Eventually it arrived around 3.30pm
Very disappointed, in hindsight, I would rather have paid the extra to another supplier and have a more reliable delivery service.
Staff
The guy at the counter was efficient and knew his stuff. A preplanned delivery was arranged and all organised.
