Ripped off scam
Ordered ladders on Monday and paid for priority delivery for Wednesday before 1.30.. Its now Thursday still no ladder and now the ai agent on the phone line just cuts me off ass soon as I give it my order number.. Prepaid nearly £90 and they've left me right up the creek.. The job is not finished and I now have find another hire company to get finished.. Its going to cost me another 60 from another hire place and I've lost a days wages now too waiting for ladders that didn't turn up. These guys have not delivered and cost me a small furtune... Do not use under any circumstances.. I Spoke to an agent in the end at 5 mins before Tey close for them to say I'll call you back and never did... Companies like this need to be closed down it's basically a scam and can you believe they offer and none refundable option when ordering which obviously I hit as it was £14 cheaper without... I'm so angry right now.....
Terrible company
Terrible company, do not use!
- Despite the websites claims, they don't actually have any equipment and are just middle-men who hire from other real hire companies. So when you make a booking it isn't actually reserving anything for you.
- I wanted to check my order was confirmed but they refused and said I just had to wait (and I wasn't allowed to cancel the order), and left me waiting until the morning of my hire to tell me they couldn't provide the equipment.
- It is very difficult to contact them. They have a web-chat which leaves you in queue but they don't answer (trying three or four time, waiting 2-3 hours each time someone eventually spoke to me once) and a phone number which is just an AI chat-bot that can't do anything and doesn't provide any information beyond what is on the website.
- They didn't send me any emails or texts about my order. The only contact I had was on the day of delivery they called at about 8am to say they hadn't been able to get the equipment so my order was cancelled.
- They then kept all of my money for about two weeks after cancelling my order before they refunded it.
Shocking bad service - never received back my deposit amount.
Shocking bad service. The equipment arrived as expected but almost two months have gone by and I am still awaiting the return of my £550 deposit! I have chased daily with emails. They ignore the live chat, there is no phone number or option to speak to a human. Starting to wonder whether I have been conned.
UPDATE - NO PHONE NUMBER AS YOU STATE. SHARE IT HERE AS IM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO WANTS TO GET IN TOUCH ! INSTEAD OF REPLYING TO MY REVIEW PERHAPS YOU COULD REPLY TO MY MANY EMAILS, LIVE CHATS AND ‘TICKETS’ ?!

Pay now stress later !
Pay now stress later !! I ordered hire of a turf cutter for Monday told after chasing that they couldn’t locate one within their network on Monday afternoon promised it would arrive today Tuesday then emailed that the turf cutter assigned to me failed a machine check? But was further promised I would receive a fully working machine tomorrow. Yet to have confirmation again promised by customer service team so who knows… I have had to postpone labourers to help with the landscaping twice making me look completely incompetent homeowner. First and last time I use these muppets I appreciate Mammoths are extinct so based on my customer experience this company will be going the same way!

Unable to make contact with a human
Unable to make contact with a human. No reply to my emails. No 'Live'!! Chat. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.
Order number 243234.
After all the problems at the start of the hire i made a simple request that my £500 deposit be returned in a reasonable time.
3 emails later, no response, no refund.
Please refund my deposit.
The only response i receive is an automated email. This is ridiculous.
Update on 5th June...
My digger went off hire and was collected on 1st May. Having waited 21 business days hoping to receive my returned deposit, I raised my concerns in 'Chat' on 3rd June, who in turn 'raised a ticket' and passed the delay to the Accounts department. I've heard nothing.
I am still waiting for the return of my deposit.

Shockingly bad cowboys
Shockingly bad. I placed an order for a scaffold tower and got a phone call to say they would deliver on the Friday not Saturday as they could not get a delivery on this day. I accepted this and nothing arrived on Friday other than a text message to say the original date of Saturday delivery would be honoured so I did not call them. Nothing arrived on Saturday and despite several emails and two dropped phone calls nothing arrived on Monday. They couldn't even be bothered calling me back. Three days work lost! Use Speedy or HSS directly as this lot are cowboys!

Absolutely do not use these frauds
Absolutely do not use these frauds. They are just middlemen without any of their own equipment. The customer service is non existent and I will never make the mistake of using these jokers again.

£250 for a deposit still not refunded after 2 months
I ordered a wood chipper machine. I also ordered a set of googles for eye protection. The hire was about £250 for a week plus the same again for a deposit. The machine was delivered without the googles I paid for. The machine itself seemed incapable of chipping branches supposedly well within its capabilities. Basically it was useless. I returned the machine barely used and undamaged. TWO months later I’m still waiting to have my deposit back. They aren’t answering my emails.
I would avoid this firm as they behave like cowboy crooks.

Inaccurate price advertising
This company advertised a lawn aerating tool for approx £140 for two days. I went through the online process submitting all my details including payment details only to find that once they had added delivery, compulsory insurance and VAT the bill was over £200 which i was not prepared to pay.
I am very annoyed at the time i wasted. This company needs to be much more up front with its pricing BEFORE it goes through the payment process.

This company doesn't exist
This company doesn't exist. They are actually national tool hire but don't tell you. They have no phone number to call, instead you enter an online chat for which no-one responds ever. I hired a rotovator which was delivered broken. I called the company who actually delivered it (both mammoth hire and national tool hire are just middle men) and they said the replacement has to come via mammoth hire. After two days of no response I had to hire a second rotovator, going through Travis perkins. They kindly gave me an email address for mammoth hire though they still didn't respond. After calling national tool hire and complaining I eventually got a refund.

Extremely poor - avoid
Failed to deliver equipment despite being reassured, even late on the expected day of drop off, that it was on the way. We had tradespeople booked and had to make alternative arrangements. Huge waste of time and additional cost. Not easy to contact, gone completely silent on chatbot and email with regard to refund of hire costs. Will have to pursue a credit card chargeback.

Dreadful communication
Dreadful communication!
Ordered a ladder for hire, an hour before the deadline of delivery they phoned to say they were unable to fulfil. Zero communication or heads-up that they were struggling, and the late notice left me entirely in the lurch.
I'd definitely avoid using them.

Abysmal service
Arranged and paid for hire of a table saw, to be delivered to home address. During the day it was due to be delivered I received a message saying it would not be available. If I wished to have a new date I had to reply by 1500 that day. I did so, but have heard nothing since. I have attempted to communicate on live chat, to ensure a record is kept, but have received only automated responses. I have cancelled the order and have still had no response. I shall be applying to the Small Claims Court if they do not return my payment.
I wonder how much of this business actually exists?
There has been a long and apologetic response to this review on Trust Pilot (and therefore very visible) but no reply at all to my messages direct to the company.
There was a slightly happier ending to the saga. A message arrived from Mammoth to say a refund had been sent. A full refund was received. The company could have been considerably more communicative at all stages of the failed hire. No equipment was supplied and customer service was way below anything that might reasonably be expected. While the full refund restores my financial loss it does not restore my confidence in the company.

Scammers
Scammers, take your money then message you a couple days before asking for photo ID and then never respond.
We specifically asked for a certain day delivery, since I had no comms I called them the day before to confirm they were coming and they said they wouldn’t be able to, don’t use this company!

AVOID AT ALL COST
Issues from say one.
Was not delivered on expected date had to email 3 times to get an answer eventually was delivered 3 days late which cost me extra in labour.
I was told i would be refunded the days that i had lost, i did not receive a refund!
I have now emailed 6 times asking about my £500 deposit that has not been sent back although the digger went back in perfect condition. So i am now down £500 + £58 for late delivery. I have contacted their customer service now 9 times now in total with no response
I still receive no replies to my emails, i don’t believe this company is working with good intentions they will take any money they can get their hands on. AVOIT AT ALL COST!!!

Don't waste your time and money!!
Don't waste your time and money with this company. Ordered an item for a set day. Later had a call a few days later to say they couldn't delivery the day i requested and would need to be the following week. Then received the item which was faulty after 4 days of use, and then refused to part refund me for the days it was faulty. All they care about is taking your money. No customer service and a nightmare to get hold of. I've now realised theres so many really good honest companies to hire from than this shameful company! Stay clear!!!!

AVOID!!!
I ordered a digger for delivery on Friday. Was told over phone I could submit drivers license as proof of address. Emailed all required information across. Heard nothing back from them to say any issues. Phoned on Friday afternoon to check when it would likely be delivered. Was told order wasn’t processed and they would escalate to manager for same day delivery. Waited a hour or so then called back. Was told manager would phone. I then received a email to say ordered wasn’t processed because I hadn’t provided proof of address despite being told drivers license was appropriate. Still waiting on a refund.
