I made an order for about £550 in the end of July. And science there haven't been any reply from them what's going on with my order! Avoid.
I increased my mark to 2 stars as I reviewed my refund but only after posting my review. So it's not full scam but something is not right with this company anyway. Your choice is it worth trying cheaper price.

No customer service, no product delivered.

Ordered blocks & sand on the 5th. Received an automated email AFTER I'd placed the order saying there would be a 1-2 week delay.
Not too much of an issue, as I got the customer & subsequent company to hold out for 2 weeks.
Still not delivered...
No reply to emails.
The phone number says unable to take calls.
My customer is fuming.
The company who are waiting for me to complete my job so they can do theirs, are fuming.
I'm fuming & feel like I've been had!
Wish I'd read the reviews.

Good price if not in hurry

I was really worried, no order confirmation or delivery date and all these negative reviews but my bricks and sand were delivered 8 days after my order by a jewson lorry. So in summary if you are not on a schedule and need to save a few quid give them a try

I can't get through to them

I can't get through to them, I'm missing some of my order. It's been weeks. Are they still operational.? You said you would chase it up Ian. Can I just get a refund for the ply as I've had to go elsewhere.

Another cowboy company

Don't give these people your money, they don't know how to run a business, and as you can see by reading all of the other reviews they seem to have an excuse for everything. Thought I would give them a chance despite reading a mile long list of negative feedback - big mistake.

I ordered 15 concrete slabs on July 14th, and haven't received any form of communication since apart from a generic automated purchase confirmation email. I asked for an update on my items on July 25th, but being the ignorant people they are, decided to ignore my email. They will attempt to excuse themselves with every reason under the sun but it does not take over 5 days to reply to a simple email, doesn't matter how busy you are.

Give me my money back, all £156.60 of it.

I am not a fan of disrespect but you deserve it. You people need to learn fast that you can't keep taking our money and worming your way out of it.

Hope your site gets shut down, not that it would make any difference. Looks like something a child in the mid 90s designed on a desktop

Me Too

Me Too! End of week three, no response to any emails etc etc. Is it just aggregates in bulk bags you are struggling too get out on time? Poor service I'm afraid. Awaiting these bags for one of our clients 😡

Like other reviews - avoid at all costs!

Like other reviews, I wish I'd read the feedback before I ordered building supplies.
Placed order 23 June 2022, had a confirmation email 24 June 2022 stating the order was being processed and would take 1-2 weeks to arrive. 4 weeks later the goods have still not arrived.
No one answers the telephone, when you leave a message (and I've left 4 messages) no one calls you back and when you email them (again 4 times) no one responds.
They've taken the money for the supplies, have not delivered them nor been in contact with an update and you can not get hold of them!

Hi Clare, I am sorry your order hasn't arrived, I did reply to your email yesterday but seems to have bounced back as undeliverable, I have re-emailed again with a screenshot of the bounce back email. I am sorry I missed your calls it is incredibly busy and some calls do go unanswered because of this, Your order will be with you on Friday this week between the hours you have noted on your order. Thanks Ian

Hi Barry, I am sorry the bag was sent wrong initially, I do feel that 2 stars is a bit unfair, we delivered the bulk of your order within 7 working days and although the wrong item was sent on the first delivery we got it swapped over and sorted within a day. Thanks Ian

I wish I had read these reviews before…

I wish I had read these reviews before ordering.
I ordered 3 bags of grano dust after calling to check how long the deliver would be and was happy with the response that once they had stock in they would call but expected within 2 weeks.
I waited for about a week and then emailed on 1st july asking for an update on delivery date, I then called on 2nd July and was told it was not in yet but should be in the next week and they would be in contact with a date, but was pencilled in for today... I had no further communication other than a phone call this morning while I was out saying they were trying to deliver. Since then its been very difficult to find out what is happening, they claimed they had told me the delivery was coming via email turns out this was on 29th June, before my phone call when they said they didn't know. Trying to find out next steps whether they will come back out or refund but communication with them has been absolutely shocking.

Hi Vicki, As agreed your delivery has been refunded in full. I am sorry there was a bit of confusion with the dates we have an email sent to you on 29/6 stating the order was scheduled for Friday 8th July which is what our transport was working to but when the driver arrived he could not get down to your property because of parked cars. we offered to arrange redelivery but you requested a refund instead. Thanks Ian

Despite negative reviews, I found these guys good value, quick and efficient.

Ordered 300 concrete blocks at £1.47 per block which is amazing value for the current market considering other suppliers are around £1.70 - £2.10 per block. If you are ordering online I recommend you use PayPal to avoid any AVS policy fails on verifying debit cards. (I had this problem) but I rung them up and they answered quickly first time every time and it was sorted out. About 3 days after purchase the blocks were delivered (S65 postcode) in good condition. So despite all the negative reviews, I must say my experience was overall positive as of 22/6/22.

Great Price / No Customer Service

I received the balance of my order this morning - 4 weeks after ordering. Two weeks after ordering, the only way I managed to get an update was by posting a bad review on Trustpilot. It was delivered in two halves, which was fine, but both times I received a message on my phone to say the driver was on his way - no pre-advice of a delivery date.
This company is not a scam. It is, however, a low cost operation so be aware you should allow extra time for your order and expect no customer service. But you do get a great price.

Hi, i am sorry that we missed your calls when you tried to call us a couple of times last week, I have gone through our emails and can only see one email on Monday that we have not got round to replying to yet due to a backlog from the double bank holiday, I have now replied to this email and will update you as soon as get an answer off transport. Thanks

Ordered on the 9th May

Ordered on the 9th May, still nothing has turned up, have sent emails - no response, have tried calling - no answer, all I want is a refund now, if I don't get one in next few days, I will be going through the credit card company! Don't waste your time, it's cheaper for a reason! It's a scam!

I placed an order for building blocks…

I placed an order for building blocks on 19th May and received an order acknowledgement from this company and a PayPal message that they had taken payment on 20th May. Since this time, after multiple attempts to contact them both via the website contact system and via phone, where I left messages, I have had no response from them other than meaningless computer generated responses. I have also tried there email address but the address is not recognised.
I have now cancelled this order and am waiting for my payment to be returned.
I have never experienced a company which refuses to make contact, especially having accepted a substantial order. I can only conclude that this is not a bonafide company. Do Not Use this company.
Update.
Since posting this review I can report that I have been refunded my payment. I have noted the reply to my review from this company and all I can say is that I am sceptical about the reason.
If there was a problem with the website messaging system then how did they discover that I had cancelled my order. I did this via the web messaging system. I am certainly very pleased that they have responded so quickly to provide my refund but I remain aghast at how a company can survive whilst not responding, in any way, to requests for updates from customers.

Please please be careful buying any goods from here, the competitive price looks appealing but the customer service is non existing!!!. I have sent numerous of emails and left numerous of voicemails (always rings out at every phone-call) with no answer. Goods of over £300 bought and still not arrived nor any update on the order of any kind. The negative reviews read true I’m afraid. Again I reiterate please be careful buying from here !!

Nothing like the pictures

I ordered 3 jumbo bags of gravel foe my mum. When it arrived it looked nothing like the photos on the website. I phoned and complained and was told that you get what is local to your area. I asked why on earth do they have pics of nice, round, smooth coloured gravel on their website and you receive grey builders gravel. They said that's what comes from the quarry in your area. Was told I'd receive £20 refund I paid nearly £170 on gravel. The refund didn't arrive. No response from my emails. I'll never order from them again and won't be recommending them. Poor service

Hi, I'm sorry the gravel wasn't as you expected, the product you ordered is a budget gravel from your local area, unfortunately the colour and look of it will vary from area to area, and due to there being so many variations which also change depending on where in the local quarry it is extracted we could not list a picture of every colour on our website as there would be too many and so offer an example of a few different colours. We did offer to return the product at our cost and a full refund but you decided you wanted to keep the gravel. Regards, Ian
