Terrible customer service and didn't delivery on its promises

I chose this company as it offered 48 hour delivery - the website was clear that ordering before 10am Monday to Friday meant a delivery the next day. An extra fee was charged in advance for this. I should have received my delivery on Tuesday and after numerous calls and emails and eventual escalation to the customer service manager, it arrived on Friday lunchtime. The service from the customer help line was awful - didn’t know what was on their own website, didn’t come back to you when they said they would and basically left you totally unsure of when you might receive the delivery. Without the threat of a complaint and the interception of the customer service manager the soil would not have even have arrived on the Friday. There was even a suggestion at one point that I should contact the delivery company myself. Very disappointing and I certainly wouldn’t recommend this company.

I am sorry for your delay, couriers are having delivery issues nationally due to driver shortages, next time contact us and we will chase it for you also.

Overall excellent wish you didn't have to order in fives

Super happy with the quality of the turf and the delivery. Only thing I wish was different is the amount you can order. I had six left over because if I have ordered 15 it would have been cutting it too close but 20 I knew would be too many. Felt like a real waste, luckily I managed to talk my neighbor into having them but it would be great to order only the amount I actually needed rather than having to round up to the nearest five.

Very disappointed

Ordered 750kg of top soil seven days ago. Got an email on Friday night saying it would be delivered by Pallet Ways rather than Valley themselves per their receipt. There was no tracking information given by Valley so I couldn't chase it and Valley don't answer the phone. I see a pallet delivery as inappropriate for bulk soil, even if the order had been delivered, which it hasn't

Extremely poor service, enough said but read on

Extremely poor service and no apparent customer service. Our delivery date was booked on line but didn’t arrive. They wouldn’t take our calls and when they did they promised to call us back but never did. We had to resort to texting our problems but the replies were extremely vague. Don’t bother with the number on the webpage and it is an message service only and no one takes your call.

They rely heavily on a haulage called Palletways who don’t give or guarantee delivery days or times and quite frankly don’t have a clew about logistics.

Will not use again nor will I recommend either company to anyone, even people I don’t like.

Dreadful experience for delivering three bags of top soil and we have to dispose of the pallets and trade named bags. When asked they recommended we simply leave them on the pavement which to me is condoning fly tipping which is of course illegal.

Morning Richard, once again i am sorry that your delivery was a day late, i must stress we did call you back as soon as we had information for you. unfortunately the only reason that this became awkward was because you was abusive to Palletways customer services and myself and you also put the telephone down mid conversation in one instance. It clearly states that delays may occur in some areas due to national driver shortages which unfortunately we encountered for your delivery however we did our up-most to keep you updated.
(Note) A very unfair review

A Gem of a Company…

Fabulous. We’ve just had a large delivery of topsoil that was like ‘black gold’… absolutely gorgeous. The service and friendliness has been top notch and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. In fact, based on this experience, they’ll get our business for many years to come.

Very good value

Easy to deal with, great product and a very fair delivery price. Everything turned up on time as promised and the driver was very helpful too. Will use Valley every year for buying garden mulch.

Just need better communication on delivery as no contact, so had to call distributors to check progress.
Would happily use again though

Sorry for the delay UK it was one day late due to the driver shortages that have been causing nationwide problems, we are doing our best to rectify any transport issues within this time.

The product was fine but the delivery…

The product was fine but the delivery firm left the bags at the bottom of drive and I had asked specifically for a smaller truck to be able to get up the drive and leave their load in a more convenient place.

Hi thank you for your feedback, however we only offer roadside delivery unless otherwise possible, as stated on the website because the smallest vehicle available is a 7.5 tonne lorry

Not happy my wife and daughter had to help get my soil off the truck because the company only sent 1 person to deliver the soil and told him there was people to help him and and fork lift truck waiting for him.....I would never use them again

I am sorry for your experience, however the company that we use to deliver our goods should be more than capable of offloading the pallet on their own as this is standard practice. I will find out what has happend and contact you by email with a report. Thanks for your feedback.

Product good, service bad

Ordered two bags of topsoil, ordering process was simple. The soil was great, grass is growing well on it.
Delivery is another story. Ordered with promised delivery on chosen date. Didn’t arrive until 5 days later. Sent an email to complain and never got a reply. So will not buy from here again.
