Initially a mistake not dispatching order, but as soon as raised with team, order was dispatched and delivered by next day. Anyone can make a mistake, its how it is dealt with, and in this case it was dealt with promptly, efficiently, and with an apology.

First order in UK since Brexit

First order in UK since Brexit, great experiment with Poolewood Machinery. Price very reasonable, and delivery price very correct too.
The website is easy to search check and order.
And delivery in good condition against signature after the french taxes are paid.
I recommand for Europeans customers.

Professional Service

Received a faulty machine. Sent replacement parts quickly but this did not solve problem. They then arranged collection and subsequently replacement. Service was very professional; quick and polite. What more could you ask.

The item arrived as planned and packed securely.
Web page a bit misleading when it says most machines sent post free but the Proxxon lathe was charged at £10. which brought the price up to the same level as other advertisers.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service, having enquired directly about the availability of a log splitter it was then delivered in prompt time. Other companies should strive for this instead of professing to have things in stock and it actually still being in a factory in china.

The only glitch I would say would be the delivery tracking, some for-warning from the courier the day before delivery would be handy to ensure someone is available to receive goods.

The SIP 7 ton log splitter has performed very well, having split over 40 cubic meters of firewood since purchase.

The machine arrived with damaged packaging. Box had obviously been dropped somewhere during delivery (not at home as watched courier unload).
Despite contacting Poolewood, absolutely no response at all.

Thank you for your review. We have looked into this and can see you contacted us regarding your order back on the 14th March stating how thrilled you already were with your order and thanking us for our advice and prompt service. You then let us know that the box had been damaged in transit however the item seemed untouched/undamaged as the outer box was absolutely fine. We responded to you on the 16th March and confirmed this has happened with this item before and that they are almost too heavy for their own box thus the double box packaging. We said to check it over to make sure it is still square and working correctly. If it was not square let us know.

We assumed as we did not hear from you further that all was well, so we are quite perplexed today to see this one star review. We are a small family run business and take pride in our customer service, so it is always disappointing to receive negative feedback, especially in circumstances we were not aware were issues initially. We would always have happily answered and helped any queries you had, had we have heard from you again and known about them and would always encourage customers to contact us directly before leaving bad reviews to allow us a chance to assist, otherwise it seems it is an unfair representation of us.

Thank you, Team Poolewood.

Excellent, friendly service

Excellent, friendly service. Living in the back of beyond, problems with deliveries are not unknown. Poolewood's service was excellent; despite a bank holiday weekend the unit arrived within 4 working days. I will definitely use this company again.
