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.

Didn’t deliver TWICE!!!

Booked delivery for Monday - accepted that delivery would be anywhere between 8am and 5pm - company called at almost 3.30pm to say it wouldn’t be delivered could they deliver at 9.00am - 9.30am next day - ok stuff happens at least it’ll be here in the morning to get going on my job - it’s now just before 11.00 am no sign of them and no call to say what’s happening. Just called them which goes through to a different company who say yes we’ve got your delivery on a van that is at least an hour away and no definite idea of time it’ll arrive so hopefully sometime today - If I had trades lined up this would be a nightmare - think I’ll be working very differently next time

Joke of a company

Joke of a company! Tried to rent a tool for a weekend on Friday which says in stock. Rung the customer service who told me they don’t actually keep the tools they try get them from other places. They left it til half 4 to tell me they cant get it till Monday. which left me no time to try other places. The money was refunded but lost hundreds of pounds worth of work due to stupid company set up… don’t rent tools you don’t even have mammoth!!! Advise you never use these clowns wouldn’t trust them to make me a pot noodle

Not issuing refunds

Ordered a piece of equipment only to be told they have limited suppliers in the area and the ones we do have currently cannot offer this piece of kit and cannot provide a date when they can. Was told they would process a refund, I haven't had any joy in recieving it.

No communication

No communication, no confirmation , no invoice, did not even know if the equipment was going to be delivered. Only knew payment had been taken by contacting the credit card company. Will not be using Mammoth hire again which appears to be another name or is part of National hire. A third party company supplied the equipment.

100% A V O I D at all costs. M A M M O T H mistake.

Placed ‘same day’ order with extra cost for a 2 day hire. No contact from Mammoth other than confirmation of payment.

Impossible to contact ( telephone service self-disconnects and web-chat not operating). Requested contact to cancel by email. Nothing heard other than an auto email to provide a code to categorise my request’.

Later that day heard from another Hire firm that they had sourced the order too and who said could supply next day. Still nothing from Mammoth except a standard ‘you’re about to come ‘off-hire….’ email one day early.

Mammoth have take my money and not responded. In every respect it feels like a scam although from the other reviews and as a sub-brand of National Tool Hire I guess it’s just terrible incompetence.

Life’s too short. Avoid at all costs.

Do not use this company

I hired a floor sander through Mammoth, no information was supplied as to where I needed to pick up the hired equipment. I was not able to get I contact with Mammoth even tho they had charged me. Do not use this company, just go to a local tool hire in your area. Mammoth just calls them up and places an order on your behalf anyway whilst charging you extra.

Poor service communication

Poor service communication, failed to deliver, although online booking said available for dates required. Request a full refund due to inability to provide tools purchasing, awaiting refund. Let me down on a large contract. 2nd time now. Will not be a 3rd

No delivery

The product was not delivered on the agreed date with no notification that there was a problem.
Took a day off work to recieve the delivery which turned out to be a wasted day
