Great product very poor service

Good quality wood reasonably priced, delivery poor, it does say can’t guarantee delivery on the day you request, but when you order two weeks in advance, kind of expected to arrive on the book day, called on delivery date was told it would be delivered in the afternoon. Phone back late afternoon told it would be loaded on tonight and delivered first thing in the morning morning came and went called again told it would be delivered lunchtime still no delivery called back said it would be delivered ( lied to several times) , turned up 5.30 pm lost 2 days work waiting on delivery

Thanks for the honest feedback, Gavin. I’m glad you were happy with the timber itself, but the delivery experience clearly wasn’t good enough.

The biggest issue here isn’t just that the delivery was delayed — it’s that you were given several different times and ended up losing two days waiting for us. We should have communicated properly and given you a realistic update rather than repeatedly telling you it was about to arrive.

I’m sorry we let you down on this one, and I appreciate you taking the time to spell out exactly what went wrong. We need to be better than that.

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. My delivery was 2 days late with absolutely no communication from Wern Works. I had to call 3–4 times myself and was repeatedly promised a call back with an update, but nobody ever called.

I also explained several times that my husband had just had surgery and couldn't help with unloading. Despite this, they sent one driver alone to deliver 11 extremely heavy 9ft concrete posts and with out any warning as well.Luckily, a neighbour was available to help — if I'd been on my own, there was no way I could have helped the driver unload them safely.

To make matters worse, some of the posts arrived chipped/damaged.

Delays can happen, but the lack of communication and poor organisation made the whole experience unnecessarily stressful. Very disappointing service.

Thanks for taking the time to explain what happened, Alexandra. I’m really sorry — having a delivery arrive two days late is frustrating enough, but you shouldn’t then have had to repeatedly chase us for updates and promised calls that never came.

We also should have communicated much more clearly with you about the delivery of the concrete posts, particularly after you had explained your circumstances. Our deliveries are normally made kerbside by a single driver, but that needed to be made clear beforehand so you knew exactly what to expect rather than being put in a difficult position when the vehicle arrived.

The damaged posts are another disappointment and certainly not how we want an order to reach you.

Delays sometimes happen, but the lack of communication here made the situation far worse than it needed to be. I’m sorry we let you down.

I wrote a review on Wern Wood website telling the truth, somehow there have been able to erase it because I only gave one star and wrote about the lack of delivery. Then I get a phone call telling me they have cancelled my order.

Hi Mark. Just to clarify, your original review was flagged as misleading and removed through the review platform’s moderation process.

Your order was subsequently cancelled after we contacted you about an issue with the order details.

We’re always happy to receive genuine criticism, but we do need to correct the record where a review doesn’t accurately reflect what happened.

Good service poor material quality

Overall delivery on time and day as was set really helpful driver who help put all materials inside house not like many others who will just left materials on driveway and drive out . Unfortunately materials it’s self not best experience mainly plasterboards all was bend probably cuz poor storage support on bottom took 4 days on flat surface to fix bending one of plasterboards heavily damaged was send back unfortunately it’s over a week and still did they replacement or get charge back . Mix feeling of good and bad service can’t complain price good compare to other stores around give a bit more effort with storage sheets materials and could give 5*

Thanks Tomek. I’m glad the delivery itself went smoothly and that the driver was helpful, but I’m sorry the plasterboards arrived in that condition.

They should not have reached you bowed and damaged, and you also shouldn’t have been left waiting that long for the replacement or refund to be sorted.

We really appreciate the fair feedback on both the good and bad parts of the order. We’ll take the comments on board, particularly around how sheet materials are stored and handled.

Thanks Craig, great first order to hear about. Two iffy boards out of 60 is two too many though — next time just flag it and we'll swap them, no quibble. Cheers for the recommendation. — Josh

Ordered £400 worth of timber on the 17th July. Selected a delivery date of 23rd July (earliest that was available).

I emailed to check on the 22nd if the 23rd was going ahead. Revived an email from David confirming they were on schedule and if anything changes, they call to let me know.

23rd - waited until 16:30, rang the office. No news or delivery. Spoke to Dan to be informed it wasn’t coming but would definitely be the next day. No apology.

24th - rang the office at 11am to check if it was out for delivery, spoke to Dan, he confirmed it was. 15:00, still no delivery. Rang up, spoke to Dan, he took my number and said he’d call me with an update. 16:00 - no update, called back, Dan said “truck is still in west wales” but will call me back with and update. 17:00 no delivery or update. Called back again, Dan said “it will have to be Monday now” so sadly had to cancel the order and now have to source another supplier.

Job won’t be completed on time, no apology, have to wait 7 days for a refund. After being battered by sponsored posts on Facebook and WhatsApps/ emails… just isn’t good enough. I’m not being a d*ck, I just wanted to have a delivery when promised or communication at least. I got neither.

Disappointed!

Thanks for the review Roy, and sorry a few of the studs weren't up to scratch. Bent stock shouldn't be leaving the yard — give us a ring on 01639 874760 and we'll sort a replacement or credit on those. Appreciate you making it work. — Josh
