Ordering was simple and delivery was next dsy. The driver put rubber mats on the pavement to avoid damaging the flag whilst hoisting 800kg of stones. He avoided my tree and placed the bag exactly where I needed it. Excellant service, thank you

I received no call to arrange delivery…

I received no call to arrange delivery as promised. Instead, I found 1 tonne of slate dumped in full view of the road, blocking my house & business sign and practically on the pavement.

I contacted the local branch - they were oblivious to head office sending emails that say you’ll be contacted to arrange delivery. They said they’d try to get someone out last week to move the bag to where I actually wanted it

Didn’t happen.

Item has been delivered to an inconvenient place which is also a theft risk.

Do Huws Gray care? NO!

Could have been avoided if they’d actually done what their email promises and CONTACTED ME to arrange delivery.

The staff are always polite, knowledgeable and helpful. We are only doing some small DIY projects at home, so not the biggest orders, but get good service each time.

Delivery of topsoil poor in quality (eg contained piece of metal pipe). Whilst the delivery driver was pleasant he arrived without warning and no contact from branch to arrange delivery.

The delivery staff were excellent. We were not in but they carefully placed the bags of soil exactly where we had indicated. They even folded up and put safe the cardboard I had used to indicate the place.

Garden project

I had an excellent experience with this store I placed an order online whitch I thought was for delivery but turned out I was for collection. I emailed the manager to say there was a mistake and I was unable to collect and would it be possible for it to be delivered. The manager emailed me back very quickly to say yes that wouldn't be a problem and it was delivered a few days later thank you so much excellent customer service. 😀

Online order/collection system not joined up.

Received email saying my online order was picked and ready....but it wasn't. Arrived and spoke to a very pleasant lady; she had to search for my order then printed a sheet off to take to the yard. Chap in the yard looked at it and said something on the lines of 'what's this and where did you get it?' I explained and he went back into the shop to speak to the pleasant lady. When he came out he then picked my order. Not a very joined up system!

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are genuinely concerned to hear about the difficulties you encountered with your online order pickup.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive a notification that your order was ready, only to find a discrepancy upon arrival and experience a lack of coordination between our team members. We are actively reviewing our internal processes to ensure a more seamless and efficient experience for all our customers.

Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve our service.
