Kelvin timber didn't have the length of timber I needed so gave me longer lengths and extra timber I wasn't expecting. They also delivered a full day ahead of their estimate. An excellent firm.

Great prices and quick delivery
Great prices and quick delivery. We had a HUGE order of timber for a fence and the chap helped my husband carry it round the back of my house. First class service.

A good experience
Only needed a few fence slats for a winter damage/ storm repair. Easy to order and contacted by phone when they would be ready. Fortunately branch is just over 5 minutes walk away so was able to pick up and carry home on foot. Friendly service

Good Morning Alan,
Thank you for your review – we really appreciate you taking the time to leave one.
I've had a look at your order and just wanted to clarify a couple of things. At the moment, our faster 1–3 day delivery option has been temporarily disabled due to how busy we've been since the end of February. I’ve checked your invoice, and it shows that the 3–5 working day Standard Shipping option was selected at checkout.
I completely understand how important it is for customers working to a tight timescale to receive deliveries when expected, so I wanted to reassure you that your order was delivered within the timeframe chosen at the point of order. If there's an urgency before then, please always reach out first - if we can accommodate you we will always try our best.
Just so you’re aware – if there’s ever a delay on our side, we always notify customers in advance, and if we can’t meet the quoted timeframe, we issue a refund on the delivery charge as a goodwill gesture. In your case, everything went ahead as scheduled, so no delay or refund was necessary.
Thanks again for your feedback – it really helps us continue improving our service.
Kind regards,
Nicola
