Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 147 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people encountered significant problems with delivery, including items not arriving, being late, or orders being cancelled last minute due to lack of stock. Customers also struggled with customer service, finding it nearly impossible to contact anyone by phone or chat, leading to unaddressed issues. A major source of frustration was the difficulty in obtaining refunds, especially for deposits, with many waiting months without success. However, some customers also noted that the actual delivery and collection process, often handled by local contractors, was efficient and on time. A few people reported that the hiring process itself went smoothly and without issues.

Disgusting company

Disgusting company. Kelly was useless and had no idea what she was doing . My rental never turned up and then I had to chase to find out they had got the dates wrong as well as them not having drivers . Joke of a company. Useless . Avoid like the plague

Scam avoid !!!

I can only advise people to avoid this company communicating is none existent numerous phone numbers are out of service . Mammoth are a glorified middle man that don't actually hold any stock they simply take your order and then try and find another hire company that has your item ! I was told by mammoth that my item was with a local firm when I contacted the local firm they said they had never had any dealings with mammoth and that it sounded like fraud

Not keeping to the time slot

Not keeping to the time slot, I had to get onto the provider to see where the scaffold tower was, I was told that you put it on hold because they never had a two man tower, never bothered to tell me so I had to cancel the electrician because it was for a gallery light, I ended up with a one man tower not a two man which I paid for. Brandon hire would get a five star for me for helping me out

Don't hire from this company.

I hired scaffolding. It has not arrived and there is no one to speak to about this. When I booked the equipment I was informed it was available, I paid in full and took time off work to receive and and set it up. On the day of delivery I got an email late in the morning saying it wasn't actually available so it wouldn't be delivered after all. I am still waiting for a follow up? delivery? I have no idea what is going on. I cannot call anyone, they have no contact number, I cannot cancel the order. I think it may be a scam.

Let down on delivery day!

Order placed day before needed and I received an email the next day saying stock was low and you couldn’t fulfil the order. Complete waste of time and let me down at the last minute. Maybe your stock levels should be linked to your website so people can see if you actually have what your advertising!

Easy to book online

Easy to book online. Only hiccup was not noticing an email sent by support early on the morning of hire offering alternatives and then not being able to get through when trying to contact them to confirm my choice would be delivered. However, leaving a request for a call back and being called by a really helpful customer service advisor sorted it out for me. From then on I had no problems. The ladder was delivered by a very helpful driver and he also picked it up when finished. Very pleased.

If I could rate -100

If I could rate -100, I would. Paid order — no delivery, no refund. Zero communication, they cancelled without explanation. Avoid this company at all costs!

Avoid this company.

Cancelled on day of delivery and said I’d have to wait up to 5 days for a refund as there were “no suppliers in the area having the kit available”. I was only trying to hire a set of steps???
Do not waste your time on these guys.
