Great value, quick and very helpful.

Thanks to the team at National Timber - helpful on the phone, great value and prompt delivery right to the site up a narrow drive. Dan unloaded both wagons into covered storage - really went above and beyond - I couldn’t be happier.

I wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation.

Red Flags with this company

Red Flags with this company: I'm unsure if they are legitimate or not. I attempted to make a £2000 order today on their website, and I transferred the money into my main account, then tried to make the card payment. The transaction did not go through as I tried 3 times, I was worried my card would be blocked by the bank. I then attempted to call back and email, and no response. I then researched this company. I found it dissolved and then was set up again, but it had moved address I checked the VAT number on their eBay page, it came up verified, but in the address where the company had dissolved. I checked the company house and found the owner's name, but his profiles were hidden. I then sent a WhatsApp message to someone called Sam. I then received a message stating to send the money through bank transfer, and this was the kicker for me, as in no business transaction have I ever done a bank transfer, as you are not covered the same way as you are in a card transaction. I was hoping it was a legitimate company, but the reviews are not reviewed on Google, and the reviews on here appear to be made up, also, as most of the people who have reviewed have only one review to their name and the replies appear to be staged and no response to the negative reviews. The photographs on Google are dated as well. So in my honest opinion, I would advise steering clear, as I have a feeling this is a scam and they have taken on an old business. I may be wrong, but all the research is not adding up. I spoke with my bank's fraud department as I had to block my card due to entering details on their website, and they advised me to avoid as no business should ever offer a bank transfer, a big red flag. I hope I'm wrong but too many issues for my liking.

Best Customer Service ever.

I have just received the most fabulous customer service from a lady called Kerry Roberts who is the e-commerce Pricing &CX Manager. Kerry came up with 3 different options for me to source my product, phoning back and emailing me several times until we struck success. This lady is a star and should be running courses in Customer Service. Truly exemplary professionalism.

Items Missing, due to poor planning

Only received part order as the vehicle exceeded the weight limit despite ordering 2 weeks before delivery date, the next delivery after mine was short too. Fit too many deliveries on to one lorry and then cannot send all items due to weight. Absolutely disgusted. Even rang them at 7am to find an estimated time of arrival and was not even told then. Shocking. Go local as they can't deliver until next week ... No good when the workmen are coming in 2 days!

Thank you Mandy for taking the time to leave us a review. We would like to take this opportunity to again apologise for not delivering all of the Post Mix to you. This should of been communicated to you when you called in the morning. I have briefed the team that we need to be more in sink in letting customers know if we have any issues before the items are due out and trying the resolve this the day before and not on the day of delivery. The reason we decided to leave the Post Mix off the Truck was due to the van being too heavy as you can imagine 20KG bags on top of a whole load of concrete would make us not road worthy potentially causing fines and bans as well as drivers safety. Logistically we have to work out the routes and what items can be paired with others. We felt Post mix was the easiest material for the builder to get as they could put a few bags in their van. I'm glad that the rest of your order was delivered to your satisfaction. Thank you

Appalling customer services

Appalling customer services. Ensure you check order before despatch!
I ordered close to £750 worth of decking in mid-March for delivery on 8th April. Was advised on 4th April having difficulties in sourcing 5.4m lengths but would get back to me.
I had to call on mid morning on Monday, day before due delivery to ask status as hadn’t heard a thing. Was advised the order had been cancelled and monies refunded. No offer of any compensation only ‘we’re sorry but couldn’t source the required lengths’.

Thank you Nigel for leaving us a review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a valid review.

I would like to apologise for the fact that we couldn't get your decking to you in a satisfactory timeframe. Sourcing 5.4m lengths of Decking between March/April had been a nightmare. The reason for this was because all Sawmills where not cutting timber to specific sizes as they wanted to get rid of there old stock in order to make new ones.

We called 4 days before delivery to inform you that we may not have the decking in time for your order for the scheduled date. The company delivering the decking had cancelled on us twice and we didn't want to hinder our relationships with customers so we wanted to let yourself know first and keep you informed. Upon conversation you had informed us that if it was there by the date scheduled that you wanted a full refund. We issued the full refund but my colleague had not called you to let you know. Which was a error on our part. Which had been dealt with in house and I felt that the whole team needed to be aware of how to communicate these situations going forward.

Upon reflection we should of kept your order on hold until stock was on the ground, then this way there would of been no communication errors or miscommunication. Our issue is that we try to do our best for each customer and go above and beyond to get your order out to you as fast and as efficient as possible. We should perhaps slow down and take a breather.

Hopefully we could change your mind about our company on future orders. If ordering in future please do not hesitation to contact me directly on 0121 557 8838 or email sam@national-timber.com

All the very best from the National Timber Team.

Great quaility of concrete posts and gravels

We needed few concrete posts and gravels to build a new fence. We replaced 11 wood panels and wood posts. We decided to use concrete posts and gravels with brick effect. After spending a few days looking for companies who could supply west cast posts, we found National Timber and we contacted them by email. Sam replied to our emails very quickly and the information was very good. We decided to purchase from them due to their previous reviews and good customer service. It was very easy to order online with them and the fee for the delivery was reasonable compared to other companies. The communication with the driver was excellent and they helped us to get the posts and gravels on time. We are very happy with their service and quality of concrete posts and gravels. I would highly recommend National Timber to anyone!
