Misleading online advertising
The company advertise online a trellis panel 1800 x 1200 for just over £32. On driving over there and requesting three of the panels we were told that they don’t sell them. Why are these advertised by AVS on their website if AVS don’t sell them? We were forced to buy more expensive panels at just over £41 each. Disappointed, also angry at having to pay an extra £27.

First class communication
First class communication. I had 2 emails, a follow up phone call to confirm date of delivery from Beverley & the driver, Vinnie, called to let me know he was on the way with my order.
Ordering online was easy, prices very competitive.
Very happy that I found AVS & also to be able to use a local company.
I made an appointment with Beverley
I made an appointment with Beverley. She was knowledgeable and efficient. Excellent customer service received, thank you Beverley, a credit to AVS..
could not believe what i was being told..........
Found product on AVS website, tried to order online but i was told that they do not deliver to my address, Mayfield which is approx 10-15 miles away. Went into local Branch (Ringmer) to see if this was correct only to be told "no problem mate, Mayfield is fine" Then i wanted to look at product so after looking for 10 minutes with the Yardsman i was told that we dont actually have any at this branch, there at our Wokingham branch.
So i enquired that if i order 10 of the product what is the expected delivery time!!!
Well at 1st i was told that they dont get deliveries that often form that branch then i was told at a guess it would be at least 3 weeks as that is how long they have been waiting for the last delivery of said product!!!
How can anyone work to a schedule if you cant get a delivery date!!!
For a near £300 order i would expect all the stops to be pulled out but NO, Avs can clearly afford to turn away a substantial order!!!!
Time will tell, maybe 12 to 18 months i give that branch till closure!!!
SHAME...............
UPDATE 22.9.23
So after the reply from AVS I forwarded the requested details and as of today I have not had a reply.
So I would like to change my prediction to less than 12 months till closure.

I asked to be contacted prior to…
I asked to be contacted prior to delivery with the date and was not, I was however contacted to check what I had ordered as all my selection was green timber except for the arris rails, which was a mistake by me. This was duley changed to green, so well done on this spot. Some of the timbers were well bent, but as I had ordered over sized timbers to allow flexibility on site, the worse of the warp could be list. Apart from the wrapped pieces overall quality was very good.

Superb customer service when I phoned up with lots of questions - also discussed how delivery would work - and they suggested some additional points I'd not thought of. Price was good an items delivered on the time stated - so very happy. I'd certainly buy from them again.
