Great service freindly delivery driver

Ordered trellises through Rowlinsons, received an email saying that DB FREELANCE LTD will be delivering my order. They made contact with and gave a date for the delivery. The day before I was given a time frame
On the day the driver rang me to say he would be with me soon.
When he arrived even without asking he asked me where i wanted them and he carried the panels into the back garden.
A good experience with this. Company from start to finish.

Excellent service

Garden parasol delivered, on date and time advised.
We were updated on the progress of delivery and Norbert, the delivery driver, even offered to help us with the rather large and heavy box.
Very pleased with the umbrella, good value & looks good and easy to assemble.
Excellent service all round - thank you

Delivery of a garden companion seat

Delivery of a garden companion seat, in a very heavy box, was made by an extremely friendly gentleman. He was very helpful and carried the box round to my back garden. Delivery service doesn't get better than that!

These guys were amazing

These guys were amazing, they worked tirelessly with diligence and efficiency.
Darren was extremely professional and helpful, his support and advice were spot on and saved us a lot of time.
His lads just cracked in with it and made it look easy.
The whole team were polite throughout and I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Great value, high quality service, really took a lot of stress out of the day.

Delivery

Fast delivery date. As we were away asked if purchase could be left in the back garden. It was a very large product but the driver managed to do this which would have been a bit of a struggle for him. Really grateful for this.

Great service from DB Freelance

This morning i had a delivery of fence panels. The delivery driver was very helpful and very polite, even though it was -4 degrees, dark and I kept him waiting at the front door. The whole experience of ordering and dealing with db freelance was easy and a pleasure. Would definitely recommend them and deal again in the future. Thanks guys.

Small but MIGHTY!

Excellent level of customer communications before delivery, very responsive and keen to help resolve queries. Delivery driver also very polite and helped on the day to find solutions for best delivery.

The best courier / delivery company I have seen in a long LONG time.

If you are looking for a company to support your logistics needs that REALLY CARE about your end customers experience then these are the team for you!

Superb I was originally expecting my parcel on the Morning of the Monday. I was surprised to have it delivered on the Saturday but this was excellent for me. I had no issue with it been delivered early and it worked well with another parcel been delivered to the neighbouring area. The driver was friendly and delivered with care. Top marks.

I have never been treated so poorly by any other business! Unsatisfactory service provided by rude, unprofessional staff

I emailed the company with a request to make sure that the delivery was not left on top of the freshly cemented slabs beside my garage, which was allegedly passed to the driver.
When the delivery arrived the items were put on top of the cemented slabs, against my request.
After I explained the situation to the delivery driver he was rude and unapologetic about it.
The driver clearly implied that it was my fault that he didn't follow my instructions because I had not answered the door when he called (it was around 7:45am on a Saturday), at no point apologising for his mistake and leaving me to move the items on my own.
Complaining to the office has not proved useful thus far. They won't explain who is responsible for the mistake and they've tried to put the error down to a "miscommunication" by me, not them.
They have also called my insistence on getting them to acknowledge their failure as "an unnecessary argument" and have started to ignore my emails after I asked to know the name of who I was dealing with.

My experience with this company has been nothing but unpleasant. They run a poor service with rude, unprofessional staff. Avoid if you can!

EDIT: The reply from DB Freelance Ltd is emblematic of the issues found in dealing with this business. Zero acknowledgement or accountability for any error from them and seeking to wipe their hands of the situation by saying that I (the paying customer) am the issue.
They call my actions unacceptable, which I find more than a bit rich since I have never received worse customer service from any other business! Simply astonishing!

Reply from DB FREELANCE LTD

Dear Brendan, a full internal investigation was conducted in relation to your complaint, as we take these matters very seriously. We attempted to communicate with you but you began requesting personal details of staff members including the driver, which we aren't prepared to do so. Upon speaking to the driver he expressed he felt intimidated and threatened by your actions and behaviour. In your correspondence you dismissed this by saying you were never within 10ft of the driver and only raised your voice in frustration. (which indicates you were being aggressive). We tried to resolve the matter with you but it appears, what are you were seeking was financial gain from raising your complaint. We are absolutely appalled to hear that you were abusive to our staff. We do not tolerate any form of mistreatment or disrespect towards our team members for doing their job. Our staff works hard to provide excellent service and support to our customers, as you can see from other reviews. It is completely unacceptable for anyone to behave in such a manner. I urge you to reflect on your actions and hope that they do not happen again in the future to another company.
