The small amount of wood blanks I ordered arrived with one item not as requested. I contacted G&S customer services who were very apologetic. They delivered the correct wood blanks the next day. Thi... See more

I am always a little apprehensive when ordering hardwoods unseen after a bad experience with a sawmill in Thirsk North Yorkshire. G&S on the other hand were exactly the opposite. All the oak boards w... See more

Fast Service, Great Products

G&S Timber really have got it together. I buy ash dowels from them for making lances for mounted skill at arms. They always choose straight grained timber for me and my clients have not been dissapointed. Delivery times have improved as have costs since they have purchased new machinery so they cannot be faulted. My only gripe is that since they have made ordering on-line so easy I do miss talking to the guys to place my order. Having said that I am rather old fashioned and make lances.

Excellent service

Cannot find fault, the website is simple and easy to use. The ordering process went smoothly and the goods were delivered within a couple of days. Would happily recommend G&S Specialist Timber :)

My Oak packaged as if it were Balsa

My small (for a commission) order arrived today, it could have been packaged in a lot less bubble wrap and still have got here unscathed but that's a minor thing, just rather wasteful of Bubble wrap; but the product, appears to be good quality and as expected, I start work on it tomorrow without any doubts.
Is it me or is asking for feedback before the product has arrived as they did, just a bit too pushy?

Reply from G&S Specialist Timber

Hi Andrew, thanks for your comments. We always use packaging sparingly however with your blanks we wanted to make sure they arrived in pristine condition so we used a little more.

Glad you were happy with your order!

Good personal service from Matt who called me to keep me informed of my purchase delivery date

Excellent service from a company I have never dealt with before. Even though the product is currently out of stock (I knew this when I made the purchase) Matt has been honest and given me a realistic expectation of an expected delivery date. I am confident that he will do all he can to meet this expectation, and keep me informed along the way!

A fast service supplying a quality product

The website is good with a very good product range at reasonable prices, delivery is very fast & the product when received is of a very high quality, my only criticism is that the check out is a little long winded.

G & S Specialist Timber.....Wow!!!

If all online buying was as efficient and painless, life would be a marvel. As I get older I'm doing more and more of it. In preparation to retiring in 2013 I have taken up wood carving.
G&S's stocks of carving quality timber is good and is developing, one thing is for certain, this customer will be coming back for more.......KEEP IT UP G & S !!!
