The small amount of wood blanks I ordered arrived with one item not as requested. I contacted G&S customer services who were very apologetic. They delivered the correct wood blanks the next day. Thi... See more

Very fast personal, professional service and advice.

I chose this company as they were advertising a great deal. I contacted them several times with new questions about their products that I was interested in and received first class advice and service. Next day service and very friendly. Simply brilliant, give them a try!

good transaction - great customer service

Good, easy transaction but the dowels I ordered were not as perfectly round as i was expecting and will require sanding to suit my purpose.



16/06/11 - Thank you for sorting out my dowel problem. The replacements sent are much better and I am very pleased with your customer service. I will definitely be keeping Toolsandtimber in mind in the future.

Thank you for your kind comments. With regards to your dowels we do have a very strict quality control system but on this occasion it would seem it has failed.

So if you have found that they are not sufficient for your requirements I apologise and if you email me directly at mattg@toolsandtimber.co.uk with your order number I will investigate further.

Best Regards,
Matt

Excellent and swift service.

I ordered a Flexicut knife on-line and it arrived the very next day, well packaged and all in perfect order.

Excellent customer service and delivery, I recommend this supplier.

Great service

I ordered a Jet lathe and then had a few follow up questions which were answered by phone. A friendly, unhurried and very well informed response. I'll be recommending you, many thanks

Very happy with the customer service

I ordered two carpentry planes. One was out of stock and I *immediately* got a friendly email offering either: a) to send it separately when it was in stock at no extra shipping cost or b) to substitute with a higher priced alternative - but offered at the same price as the out-of-stock item. The prices were competitive with other sites and the items arrived promptly. Very happy with the service.

Excellent and quick service

Bought a dovetail saw from here. Best price on the web, AND excellent prompt service with good communication. Has allerted me to what looks like a very good growing business that looks like it is run with a bit of care and passion.

Promptness and Quality of service

Ordered a Tormek T7, arrived next day complete with the additinal free jigs, the decision maker to go with this supplier, however they were the wrong ones, a phone call and immediatly rectified they sent the correct set of jigs and asked that I hand the incorrect ones to the courier when the new ones arrived, next day.
Never judge a company by their mistakes only their solutions.
