Worst customer service ever

I’ve never left a review before but after my experience I feel I have a duty to warn others.
We Ordered a 1000L bag of mushroom compost on 28th March and received a delivery notification for 1st April, soon after Gardoo phoned me to postpone delivery to 7th April because the courier was busy. I booked a days holiday from work as I was told i need to be home to accept delivery, I waited in all day and nothing turned up! Not even a phone call to apologise. I sent a message through their contact page but no reply, I emailed but no reply. I phoned the next day and a man said customer services were busy but he had my details and would make sure someone would call me back and get this sorted, guess what? Nobody called me!
I left it a couple of days as I was to busy with my own customers but I finally calmed down enough to send another email, guess what? Yep, no answer!!!
Two days later I phoned again, a guy pretty much said the same as last time and reassured me he would personally call me back himself and give me a delivery time, guess what? Yep you got it, that man never called!
20 days later and still nothing, what am I to do?

Absolutely shocking!!!!

When placing our order the system allowed to pick a suitable day, but delivery's was scheduled to take place today between 8am to 6pm.

My husband took a day off work, and all day just keeps receiving email after email delaying delivery.

Original email stated 8am to 6pm
The n had an email at 10am stated delivery would be between 1pm to 3pm
A further email at 4pm stating delivery between 6pm to 8pm
Another email at 7:45pm stating delivery 7pm to 9pm
Now just had one through at 20:45pm stating delivery now between 8pm to 10pm

Really 32 sleepers being delivered by a lorry at 10pm, I can't see that myself.

absolutely fuming, waste of a days holiday lost at work.

No contact information, no phone calls other then a generated emails which are absolutely pointless.

Supposed to be starting our garden tomorrow guess that's out of the window now.

Money spent would expect to be able to contact someone, website says closed Saturday and Sunday!!!!!!!

Have to wait until Monday 8:30am to chase this. Ridiculous

Took the day off work to get delivery of 28 Oak Sleepers, was told 2 people needed which was arranged. Its now 6pm and the delivery is a no show. I has a confirmation email the day before and have emailed asking about where my delivery is - with no response.
Will be interesting to see what happens now as I'm very busy and can't afford another day off...

Terrible customer service - no goods, no response!…

Much like the customer below I placed an order for the 13/4/21 and waited in all day plus had a landscaper at the house all day as it states on the invoice that two people must be available to unload. No delivery. No response to email asking where delivery is. No option to cancel. No number to call. DO NOT USE!!!!

After I posted this review Gardoo did get in touch - usual list of excuses ‘it was the haulier’ ‘the label dropped off the pallet’ ‘first day out of lockdown’ ‘terrible traffic’ - however, they did offer me a refund which was processed quickly and efficiently.....

Two Sleepers damaged on arrival.

Ordered sleepers and came on time as specified, although when received 2 of the sleepers were damaged. This was due to fork lift apparently. I emailed gardoo to ask for explanation etc, they said as a gesture of good will they will refund 25% of the damaged sleepers which I agreed, its now been over a week and still no response from there email or money refunded into my account. I've emailed four times and still no reply. Customer service is awful.

Delivery planned for 13th April - no delivery

I should have had a delivery yesterday - 2 people hanging about all day no delivery yet and I can’t contact to company no reply on emails and no telephone number to ring - very disappointed

Despite the promise that the delivery would be here today as per the reply to my first post and the call from your customer services - there is still no sign of the delivery :(

Finally delivered two days late and a bit of chasing - team at Garbo very helpful - quality looks ok. Thank you to the team for getting it sorted in the end.

Don't believe the delivery email

Was sent an email with 10 - 12 delivery slot, this was updated to 11 -13 hrs. It's now 15.15 with no information as to what time delivery is arriving. Totally annoying telling somthing then not fullfilling. Will review products when they arrive.

Unreliable delivery service

I am very disappointed with the service I received from Gardoo. I ordered 2 bulk bags of top soil. The first delivery date was missed (I was told that the vehicle had broken down), so I agreed to take the delivery the following week. When no delivery arrived on the given day the following week I called them and was told that the order had been lost.

Jeepers, creepers where'd you got those Sleepers.... GARDOO!!

Brilliant service from the Gardoo team! Ordering was simple and straightforward and knew the delivery costs straight away. Ordered 36 sleepers with economy delivery and they arrived on the day I requested. The delivery driver was great and helped to unload from the wagon. He arrived earlier than our original ETA but they had updated us on that too. Sleepers all look good quality, couple of small nicks out of a couple but that's as to be expected, all uniform and solid! My only criticism would be the online account, it still said order processing, wasnt sure what that meant exactly, and was a little slow to navigate. However, the email updates were great and can't fault the service at all! My experience was highly positive and not anything like the negative reviews I had seen. Would definitely recommend them, in fact I already have, and will use again for my next project!

Gardoo ? no Gardon't

Apparently paying extra for express next day delivery means whenever someone is free don't be ripped off. Eventually had to try and get Gardoo to give me my money back because they lost the pallet!!! seriously a pallet of 28 sleepers that are all 2.4 meters long. Maybe they were left under a bush or they slipped down the back of a delivery driver's seat. Anyway, the terrible experience feels like they lied the whole time.

Good evening John
I am really sorry you have a problem with your delivery and the lost pallet.
Just to explain all orders are dispatched over night to a central UK pallet hub, here they are sorted and sent onto a haulage network covering your area. Like all parcel and pallet hubs they are handling thousands and thousands of individual pallets and parcels every night, occasionally things go wrong and pallets can end up within wrong parts of the network, this is rare but can take a few days to resolve.
Once again I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Let down

Let down. Delivery date was rearranged by gardoo because they had willingly taken my payment but didn't in fact have the product. I obliged with the rearrangement in good faith but the delivery date has been and gone without any signs of what I ordered. Customer service haven't updated me and don't answer the phone. On hold for more than an hour each time. I had arranged help shifting the product and that opportunity has now passed. I'm a very dissatisfied customer.

Very disappointed

Ordered 20 sleepers, happy with about a 3rd of them. Majority have excess amount of sticky sap mixed with green treatment chemical oozing out, long cracks and edges either sawn off at an angle, or bark, or rot.
Company only happy to consider compensation for one sleeper which had rotting wood flaking off (like something you find on a beach).
Offloading was dangerous, driver clearly nervous as sleepers are wider than the ramp on the back, clearly not the right type of lorry for a pallet of 20 sleepers.

We ordered bark

We ordered bark, we were not given a delivery time and judt told to be available from 8 to 5. We paid someone to wait there for it and it never arrived. We can't get hold of anyone either. Fuming is not even close to how we feel. It's a job for a client what a flippen useless company

Good evening Cheryl
I am really sorry that your delivery did not turn up on the day requested, all orders are dispatched from our warehouse on the required day to meet your requested delivery date. They are transported overnight to the pallet network UK hub, from here they are sorted and dispatched to a pallet delivery service which covers your area, we do not provide times but a delivery window of between 8am & 6pm this information is displayed clearly throughout our web site, occasionally things do not go to plan and delays happen due to many reasons beyond our control and once again I apologize for the delay in your delivery.
Customer services will look into this and contact you to discuss further

Ignore the negative reviews from numpties

Like others I was concerned about some of the negative reviews but everything was very good.

The sleepers are high quality. They do vary in colour but that was related to how wet each one was. The heavier (wetter) ones were more brown. They have dried out now and they are pretty much the same colour.

Requested a 7.5 tonne truck and customer service confirmed. 36 Tonne truck turned up but the driver was very helpful and assisted in unloading.

Clearly a 2.4m sleeper will not fit on a tail lift and so I don't understand why the numpties complained about this in their negative reviews. If you want 40kg sleepers delivered to your door in a timeslot then you need to pay someone a lot more to collect them for you. You can't expect an Amazon service for these heavy products that go on an overnight palletised service. The website is very clear that you need 2 people to unload.
