Missing stuff and miss leading

Ordered one fence trellis, 4top caps 3.6 m and 5 feather bords week before for collection, when I got there they told me “tried” to contact me, as they didn’t have the sizes I’ve ordered( comon fencing shop doesn’t have basic stuff!!!), so the fence caps I had to buy bigger and different sizes so paid extra plus feather boards instead of 4inch wide at 150cm had to buy 5inch and 165cm which also cost me extra and also had to cut everything down to size I needed.
If they try to contact it means they at list have to call my number which they didn’t, wAsted my time!!!👎🏻

Thank you for your feedback Lukasz, we are sorry that you were unhappy with the service you received. Unfortunately stock issues have been a problem on some items across our industry, due to covid and Britain leaving the EU. The current situation has also meant that we have been far busier than normal. Your comments have been noted though and we will look to see where improvements can be made. Thank you again for your response.

HORRENDOUS DELIVERY EXPERIENCE!!!

Absolutely appalling delivery service. I had requested quite clearly for a truck with a crane to delivery my concrete posts over my side garden fence, on the side road, (for which I had stated the post code of). The delivery driver and his assistant came down on my road and started unloading the goods, I stated that I wanted these delivered over my side fence (as mentioned in the delivery notes), at first the assistant said “that’s not possible”. I questioned why not, and he said “the crane wouldn’t be able to do that, the side road is on a slope”. I said that made no sense, as another supplier came with the same crane truck and delivered goods over the same fence for me, to which the assistant said “well we’ve not done that before”. Then he said “look mate, it’s been a long day” and “it’s at the driver’s discretion”. The driver made no attempt to speak with me or communicate as to where I would like the goods dropped. First and last time I am going to be using these cowboys, what is the point of paying for delivery when you get this level of disregard, ignorance and unprofessionalism? Never again!

Thank you for your response however, just to make a few points clear here. The crane truck was of the exact same specification that other suppliers have used. Infact other suppliers lifted and dropped goods far heavier than 3 concrete posts with the same vehicle. The driver made no attempt to communicate with me, there was no discussion about options of where to place the goods. The driver’s assistant categorically did not offer to place the goods where I wanted them. All he said was “is that ok?” after they were placed on my front drive. When given no choice about where these goods are to be placed, am I then supposed to say it’s not ok? It appeared that these two, (driver and assistant) hadn’t even looked at the notes, because it was only when I pointed out the instructions, the assistant then looked at the notes and confirmed this. Communication was bad, even a phone call prior to delivering to go through the options would have helped. Thank you for your response but it has not helped in any shape or form.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that you were unhappy with the delivery service received. However, we do state on our Delivery & Returns page that "We usually deliver your goods to the kerb side or a driveway entrance. In certain circumstances, it might be possible to drive onto your private property to get the goods closer – however this would only occur if the driver assesses that it is safe to do so and the landowner/tenant signs a disclaimer accepting responsibility for any potential damage that might occur."

In this instance, the postcode took us to your road which had fairly narrow access but was suitable for the lorry and the property had enough space on the drive to leave it safely in front of the house.

You requested that we turn the lorry around, drive to another road and then lift it over an existing fence and hedge as per your delivery instructions. The driver explained that AVS primarily offer a kerb side delivery and it was driver's discretion on what is safe. The assessment was that the road in question was at a severe angle and our driver explained the crane would not have been 100% stable and was therefore not comfortable lifting over property.

The posts from your order were moved as far up the driveway that the crane could reach. To try and help further, the driver and his colleague also offered to hand ball them to where you needed them but this was declined. We understand that other suppliers may have previously been able to deliver as per your request but they may have been on a different type of vehicle and we couldn’t do it for the reasons stated above. We must always adhere to our safety guidelines to protect our staff and customers.

Once again, we are sorry that we were unable to meet your exact delivery requests but hope you can understand the reasons for this.
