Timbersource's service - wood2size.com

I've now used Timbersource's wood2size.com service twice. Both times the wood was cut really accurately in every dimension. In my case I was getting pine battens made. Price is very competitive with delivery included, and delivery itself is very fast. When I needed to query an order, customer service on the phone was great too. Will be using again for sure!

Helpful and human

Not everything i ordered was in stock, which happens, but the company phone me to advise and gave me options, rather than just email like most companies do.

My solution was to get them to send me a wood of their choice in place of cherry after I explained what I wanted it for.

They were really helpful and human, which is rare at the moment.

Great timber, great price, fantastic customer service

Great timber, great price, fantastic service.

I needed a small piece of oak for a very special purpose. Timbersource had just the right item at a very reasonable price so I went ahead and ordered.

They called me the next day to ensure the fact there was a knot toward one end of the piece they had was not going to be a problem. It wasn’t, and the piece arrived very well packed the very next day.

The piece of timber was really nice and just what I needed. I was very impressed with the customer service. It would have been very easy to just send me the timber and hope everything was going to be fine. The fact they called me first gives me great confidence in ordering from Timbersource again in the future.

Iroko!

Timbersource and Thomas in particular were brilliant at helping me with an unusual, bespoke request for cupboards for our bathroom cabinet. Thomas clearly advised on the best wood for the project, suggeting iroko over teak due to it's durability and quality finish rather than plantation teak. We're thrilled with the wood which arrived within 48hrs and already thinking of new projects to get them involved in. Thanks!

Service

The level of service I have just received from a lady ( Katie Brown ) in the ordering department has been second to none and it’s that sort of sevice that will keep me going back to the company. Can’t recommend her and the others in the company enough

Great customer service and arrived on time and in good condition

My wood earlier than stated and I'm happy with my order. It was well packed and the customer service noted that I made a mistake in my order and phoned me to confirm. I was a little apprehensive about ordering based on some bad reviews on here but I've had a good ordering experience. I will be ordering from Timersource again.
