First-class service from Jack Neo @ Lawsons

Outstanding service from Jack Neo at Lawsons. I’d spent considerable time comparing merchants and specifications for a sizeable timber order, and Jack’s customer service stood out by some distance.

He was exceptionally responsive, patient while I refined the quantities, and proactively sharpened the pricing rather than simply processing my original request. When a final re-measurement meant I could reduce the quantity, Jack revised the order again and actually improved the unit prices too.

The result was exactly what excellent merchant service should achieve: the right specification, a better combination of lengths, substantially less unnecessary timber, an excellent final price and a confirmed delivery date - all made remarkably straightforward.

At no point did I feel pressured to place the order. Jack concentrated on helping me get it right first, and the sale followed naturally.

This was my first order with Lawsons, but based on Jack’s service it certainly won’t be my last. I’d happily recommend both Jack and Lawsons to friends, tradespeople and other personal contacts. First-class customer service.
