DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

I tried to order timber in January and just couldnt get the order to progress as an email said I had to pay before delivery - contrary to what is said on the website!

Regardless and wanting to progress I sent the money over to them £701.60 and subsequently could not get them to call back no matter how hard I have tried!

Roll forward almost 4 months and dozens of attempts to contact them and still NO ANSWER, NO REFUND and NO TIMBER!

Its a constant user busy response on the phone - I am now going to trading standards and considering paying them a visit!

Was dubious but more than happy

Had been looking for timber for a while for shed/summerhouse. Had priced up on the website and was far cheaper than anywhere i could find. Went back a couple of weeks later and the website was down which made me question things. Done a bit of Googling and found nothing but bad things which nearly made me just pay the difference elsewhere. However thought to myself what have I got to lose as it’s payment on delivery so if they didn’t show I hadn’t lost out and if they did show and quality was poor I could of just said no. Anyway, ordered on a Tuesday afternoon and was told delivery would be Thursday. Paramount kept me updated via FB messenger and delivery driver contacted me Thursday morning saying he’d be there about 08:45. He contacted me again saying traffic was bad (I believed him, I’m just outside oxford) he arrived bang on 09:00. Timber was spot on and after payment helped unload onto my driveway. Will definitely use again or recommend on my own experience.

Ordered on a Wednesday

Ordered on a Wednesday, delivered on a Friday. All of the order turned up, and good quality. Need to improve on customer service though. Spent 2 days trying to speak to someone, as I wasn’t sure if my order had been confirmed. I rang numerous times, just to be told “I’d get a call back” which I never did. Then I got text at 21:00 to ask if they could deliver the next day.

Very poor customer service or perhaps even a scam

Very attractive prices online. Website will state whether items are in stock or not but it seems this is inaccurate.

£400 worth of a £1000 order was failed to be delivered due to stock issues. Driver explained that the office will call on Monday (this was a Friday) but no communication from Paramount.

No solution provided by the phone contact, Facebook messenger or email. It has now been a month with no solution provided by Paramount Timber.

Avoid this company and spend slightly more to get a good and honest service elsewhere.

Lack of communication

The prices were brilliant, but they would not speak to me about a delivery date. I received a call from the delivery driver a few days later to say that he was 30 minutes away from the job. I had to rush from another job miles away to receive and pay for the order.

Absolute joke!

Do not buy from them ! I have ordered some timber and Osb boards. Delivery was quick and the driver was very nice and helpful but it turned out that 9 of 23 boards i have ordered was missing. The driver acknowledged that , said, it was some kind of mistake and promised that I will get them soon. It was cash on delivery and driver insisted I paid for full order so I did. Yes, I know I was stupid but I thought it was legit company. Unfortunately they aren't. There was no word from them about missing boards so I kept calling them just to hear that someone will call me back. Of course no-one ever did. I tried emails, again never any answer. Now it is not even possible to call them any more because all my calls are cut at first ring. I've lost nearly £200 so beaware they are scammers.

Excellent value for money.

Excellent value for money, and delivery was also excellent and on one of the two days I requested.
Don't expect great communication from them until nearer the delivery time.
