DONT USE FOR SMALL ORDERS OF SLABS

Bought a small amount of Indian Sandstone to finish off a large job, one of the large slabs arrived in its packaging broken.
Took photos and sent to the company instantly, only to be told, "this can happen" and that the order I placed was under the threshold for any sort of resolution......SHOCKING service, it shouldnt matter if I bought 1 or 100 slabs, a broken slab is not acceptable, and how do I know it wasnt already broken when packaged??
So, lets just say I will not be using this company again, and have already shared my experience with others

Updated following response - As you can see the company have made no attempt at offering and solution or refund for the broken slab, in fact, their solution is that I should spend more with them to protect myself against any breaks, although that means that I would end up with surplus and who’s to say they all don’t come damaged……..such poor customer service, whereas a simple apology and offer of a partial refund would have been enough

Reply from Primethorpe Paving

We're sorry that you were disappointed with your experience.

We completely understand that receiving even a single damaged paving slab is frustrating. Unfortunately, paving slabs are fragile products and, despite our best efforts with packaging and handling, occasional transit damage can occur. This is an accepted reality throughout the landscaping industry, particularly with smaller orders that are transported on pallets rather than in full factory crates.

In this instance, the damaged slab had a value of approximately £15 whereas the cost of arranging a replacement pallet delivery would have been around £60. Whilst we'd genuinely like to replace every damaged slab, doing so would inevitably mean significantly increasing delivery charges across all orders to cover those costs. Instead, we've chosen to keep delivery prices as competitive as possible and are transparent about our damage policy before purchase.

We also recommend ordering one or two extra slabs where possible, and understand that the vast majority of isolated transit breakages can still be used for onsite cuts including in this instance

We're sorry we couldn't provide the outcome you were hoping for, but we appreciate your feedback and will continue reviewing our policies to ensure they're as fair and transparent as possible.

Ordered Indian Sandstone in Autumn Brown. Order process was simple and easy to navigate on the website. The delivery came as booked. Indian Sandstone was perfect. Only quibble was the price of the delivery charge as local thought the price of that was very expensive.

Highly recommended, trustworthy company, good prices.

Display area nicely laid out with plenty of choice. Very helpful staff, not pushy. I had lots of questions, all were answered clearly helping us to make decision on which paving to buy. We ordered the Quartz white paving which was delivered on time, no problems.
Minus point - the access road to their premises could definitely do with re-surfacing!

This company is very well organised and offers exceptionally good customer service and genuine quality products. Ordering was simple, hassle free. Delivery was prompt and when the delivery details had to change last minute dot com, the company offered immediate assistance in resolving the issue. Highly recommend.

Great experience when I ordered some super cobblestone setts

I ordered some cobblestone setts from here and had a discount as a new customer. Shortly after placing the order, I had an email offering a bigger discount. The lady I spoke to initially, was great as was the next person I spoke to. The delivery was made quickly and I got the best discount for it. The delivery was brilliant as the driver put the pallet up the drive to the best place for us and really was super. The cobble setts are fabulous, hence as I ordered more than needed, have extended the project to include not just a “Pathio” but also a border around a circular flower bed but also another small “Pathio”. The setts are super which lots of different colours just as I wanted. I recommend this company and would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Product was just as described in the website - a pallet of natural stone cobbles. Delivered efficiently as promised. Price was competitive for a relatively small order. Good experience all round. Would use Primethorpe Paving again without hesitation.

Good selection and right amount

Unlike many other places, Primethorpe paving allowed me to get a mixture of sized patio slabs without buying a bulk amount. A perfect amount for what I needed. I am aiming to make my patio bigger over time and definitely will be buying the remaining slabs from Primethorpe. Please just keep the grey Indian sandstone in stock.

My second purchase from Primethorpe. I find the website very detailed and the calculator is easy to use and adjust. Easy to order and price is very fair by comparison. Delivery has been quick in my experience and yes, you pay for delivery but given where the goods come from and that it is pallet delivery using a motorised pallet truck meaning they can be dropped where you need them I'd say the delivery charge is well worth it.
Recommended.

Wouldn't refund for 1 of the 3 coping stones that were delivered broken. Don't offer refunds for items damaged in transit under £100 so think twice if you are only making a small order and have any expectation that broken items should be compensated. Don't offer refunds directly from the company only via the courier company who apparently insist on collecting the broken items (which is a complete waste of time and money, surely). Ignored my request to put me in touch with the courier company to dispute this. Unhelpful and rude customer service.

We're sorry you feel this way.

For clarity, we offered replacements immediately.

The customer chose to use the damaged goods instead.

When the damage was reported, we offered to replace the 3 damaged coping stones immediately, despite the value being below our published damage claim threshold, or alternatively collect all 7 coping stones for a full refund.

The customer advised that the damaged coping stones had already been used and that they did not want replacements, only a refund.

Once materials have been used, they are no longer available for inspection, collection or replacement through the normal courier claims process. This is a courier insurance requirement and not something Primethorpe has any control over.

The issue was never that assistance was refused. Replacement materials or a full return were offered from the outset, but the customer chose to proceed with the materials supplied and then requested a refund for the damaged items after they had been used.

Whilst the discussion became lengthy, our position remained the same throughout and unfortunately there was no resolution available once the damaged materials had been incorporated into the completed project.

We were not rude at all, but as the customer was not getting the outcome they wanted they are saying we were which is not true.
