Avoid Wern Wood

Order was placed 12/05 for delivery 29/05.
Week of the delivery I was expecting a correspondence to inform me that my order was on its way or whether there were any issues.
29/05 came, no delivery at all. Rang the company 11 times and emailed, again no response at all.
30/05 finally managed to get a response via Whatsapp, was told it would be looked in to as soon as they were in the office. Another hour or so had passed since opening time and no response so rang again, this time I managed to get an answer to be told that the phone lines were down yesterday and that there were issues with road closures in the local area that had affected the planned deliveries for 29/05. Myself being naïve gave the benefit of the doubt and can understand that some issues are out of control, I was again assured that I'd be updated with delivery details ASAP. Another hour or so passed with no update leading me to ring again, this time there was no drivers or transport staff available at the moment but it would be put "on top of the list". Another hour had passed so I had to ring again, hoping for a reassurance that my materials were at least on their way to me, only to be told that there was still nobody available and when they were back they'd cut my rubber and hopefully get it delivered today. This is when I realised that this company were taking me for a joke, not only was my delivery a day late (with no explanation or contact) but that my materials were not even ready to be delivered or even picked up. 18 days prior I had placed the order. After being led around the mulberry bush for too long I informed them that I would like a refund, with the time I'd been hanging around waiting for materials both Friday and Saturday I'd not only lost a days work but had less than an hour to source materials elsewhere. I was informed that they'd process the refund "straight away" and send me a whatsapp photo to show it had been processed. I understand that it may take a little while going back into a bank account but a screenshot would have at least put me at ease that the money was on its way.

01/06 - Had to ring the company again today as I have not received any knowledge of a refund, no photo, email or any other correspondance.

Hi Marv,

We take feedback seriously, but we’ve not been able to match this review to any order in our system.

We also can’t find any record under the name provided, and the account appears to be based outside our trading area, which makes it difficult to link this to a genuine order.

If this does relate to a legitimate purchase, please contact us with your order details so we can investigate properly and resolve any issues.
