Good Morning Felipe
I am sorry it appears you have had a damaged sleeper delivered as outlined in your previous review.
I have searched our order and e-mail system to find any order or e-mails in the name of Felipe Felop but have failed to find anything.
If could be that your Trust Pilot name is different to the name used for ordering, if this is the case please could you e-mail your name and order number to n.guest@ahs-ltd.co.uk and I will be able to look into your case.
If you have ordered in another name it might be our customer services have already processed your refund, this can take up to 5-7 days for your credit card company to process and show up on your account, Paypal can take a little longer.

I look forward to hearing from you, have a great weekend.

Steer clear.

Steer clear.
We were promised a delivery 8 am -6 pm. We were sent a email at approx 5pm advising the delivery was not going to take place.
The following day the delivery driver called me for direction advice then decided his vehicle could not access our address (too big!) We have had dozens of same size lorries over the years.
Emailed 3 times to find out what was going on.....no response.
Very very disappointing ..don’t bother

Good afternoon Chris
I am sorry Chris that you have had a problem with your delivery.
The UK pallet network have been seeing unpresented levels of demand (50%) higher than pre Covid levels. this has been having a negative impact on many of our deliveries and our customers. To help out we decided to take on a new network who had promised to ensure our deliveries would reach our customers on the requested date, unfortunately they have not lived up to the promise.
I have looked at the communication log for your order, you e-mailed us at 3.30pm on the day of delivery, we replied at 4pm and then you replied again at 5pm. There are no further e-mails logged against your account
We deliver to thousands of customers every month and over 95% are delivered without a problem but this does not excuse the ones that fail, we are working hard with our delivery partners to try and improve this.
Again We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and I understand you have opted for a full refund which has been processed by our team
Have a great weekend

Great service

Great service. Prompt and reliable delivery. 15 2.4m oak sleepers ordered and delivered as arranged. Delightful and helpful driver. Good quality product as described. Good value. Good email communications regarding the order and delivery.

Depressing recent reviews to see here but certainly not my experience.

Missing Sleepers and abusive hauliers

Had a delivery booked for Friday 14th May of 20 sleepers. I booked the day off ready as I had other deliveries coming as well, 4pm and no sleepers. I ring gardoo and they state to at there is an issue with the haulage firm and that they will ring me back. Nothing... Monday lunchtime a man in a truck turns up at my house, and demands my wife help him unload these 3m sleepers as he can’t do it on his own. When she declines he becomes abusive. She explains he should have been here Friday but did not want to listen. I speak to the haulage firm from Maidstone who claim they are only delivering as a favour and only recieved the sleepers that day, I told them gardoo had advised me they had had them since Friday, the haulage told me that gardoo are f@@king liars and not to believe a word they say. I then ring gardoo for help, who then say they are not sure what to do and why they sleepers haven’t been delivered, then told someone will
Ring me back. Nothing... I call again Tuesday and again am told that someone will ring me back about re-delivery as the haulage company are not answering. Nothing.... money back time I think.
I realise a pandemic is still going on, but this is a disgusting way to treat people. If you haven’t got the capacity or the means to deliver a product, withdraw it until you do. Will not be using again

Good afternoon Neil
Unfortunately we are unable to find on our system you as a customer or a delivery on that day in the name of Pennington for railway sleepers.
We also do not supply 3m sleepers, I know many of our competitors do this size, are you sure your order was placed with us?
If you could provide us with any further information such as the invoice number, customer name or delivery address to customer.service@ahs-ltd.co.uk we will be able to investigate this matter further.
We look forward to hearing from you and have a great weekend.

Shocking service - NO delivery

Shocking service! We ordered sleepers on the 10th May for delivery 2 days later. We received a call from the delivery driver 4 days later (3pm on a Friday afternoon) asking about a crane truck to assist in offloading then said he will get back to us. We have not heard anything since and no delivery. My husband and I have been calling Gardoo 2 to 3 times a day for an update as to when we can expect our delivery but all they say is that they don't know and will call us back - you don't call back! I've asked numerous times to speak to someone from management and the poor lady answering the phone keeps telling me she has passed on my message but still, no one is calling me back. I have contractors waiting for these supplies and now it is costing me money for each day my delivery is delayed. We have paid for a product we have not received. Please could someone just let me know if my sleepers will be delivered this week or not. This issue has been going on for 6 days now.

Bad customer service so upset.

I went to the Northaim yard 17/05/21 to buy 4 sleepers. When I arrived I asked the yard man where do I go he pointed to the offices. I also asked him have you sleepers in stock to which he replied yes loads. I then went into the offices told them what I wanted only to be told by a girl with lip piercings na we don’t do that you have to order on line. I explained I had traveled 30 miles to them and that it was a small order. I also said a fork lift could drop them off at the back of my van once paid for, she replied na on line only.

Good afternoon Barry
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we have not offered a walk in or click and collect service until this week for many months because of Covid restrictions and the strain on stock availability. This information had been freely available on the web site for you to check before making your journey. I can confirm that from yesterday we decided to reinstate the click and collect service for pre-paid orders but not the walk in service.
I am disappointed you had to make a point about a member of staff and her lip piercings, she is a highly valued member of our team and with or without piercings she delivers an outstanding service to the company and customers, we live in a world where people throughout society choose to express themselves in many ways, and it is our company policy not to discriminate or unfairly treat a person because they choose to be different.
Enjoy your weekend

Think about alternatives

Ordered goods -Compost and garden mulch, on 26/04/2021 for a delivery on 13/05/2021. Sufficient time you would think to receive as requested. It is now early morning on 18/05/2021 with not delivery. Between Gardoo who fail to provide great updates of the items being sent and the delivery agent who sent an email with tracking facility on 14/05/21, they are a complete shower. I will not be ordering from Gardoo again. Perhaps if I had ordered aleepers my experience would be different. Its a shame that their service seems so hit & miss.

Garden bark and a very satisfied customer.

We ordered the garden bark last week and it was delivered prompt! I received a phone call from a very polite deliver man to let me know they were 45 mins away. He delivered the bark and placed it for us in the driveway where we wanted. Can not fault this company and is a shame some people have left very negative reviews. Will definitely get my sleepers next which is it next garden project. Thank you guys!

£600 taken from our bank account - no delivery

£600 taken from our bank account, but no delivery of the sleepers on the day we booked. No communication from them and no response to emails, Facebook and Twitter. The sleepers were needed for this weekend and I now have to pay extra to a more reliable company to get them tomorrow morning. Very disappointed and will be getting a full refund.

Awful experience so far with unresolved…

Awful experience so far with unresolved issues. All started well with the order of some sleepers, ordering was simple and they arrived on time. However, 4 or 5 of the sleepers were damaged or poor condition, this included chain saw cuts, really rough edges and what looks like rotten wood when chunks fell off. Out of over 30 sleepers ordered not a total disaster but not good. I sent photos and a note to their customer services department (Karen), I had an email back after a week asking for photos, despite having already sent I resent the photos and it’s been radio silence ever since, I’ve followed up every week with an email and absolutely nothing back, really really poor customer service, it’s now been 6 weeks since I contacted them. Whilst the price was good, the product was average and customer service appalling, I would definitely not use again and am currently exploring options with my credit card company to resolve.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced

They have taken hundreds of pounds of my money and haven't delivered when they said they would deliver. I have tried to contact them by email and phone many many many times but have had no luck. Avoid.

REALLY, WHY HAVE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICES IGNORED MY EMAILS for past two days

Failed to deliver on set date after taking a day off work and spent whole day waiting in. No phone call to say they couldn't deliver. Very unprofessional don't use this company if you value your time as they certainly don't.

Excellent Product

Excellent Product - I recently ordered a bulk bag of Organic Green Compost PAS 100. The delivery was very quick and arrived two days after placing my order in late April.
I have used this to establish two new lavender beds to the front of my property and I was very impressed with the quality of the product.
Thank you Gardoo.

Ordered 45 oak sleepers

Ordered 45 oak sleepers, picked my delivery date. They turned up before 11:30 on day of delivery, delivery driver very helpful dropped the 2 pallets on my drive with no issues.

Was a little apprehensive because of some of the negative reviews on here, but had no issues. Quality of the sleepers is very good with some with a waney edge but you expect that with oak but adds to the character.

Thanks so much Gardoo will use you again if I need any more sleepers, and far cheaper than anything I can get locally.

Excellent

Having read some reviews, I was dubious and nearly cancelled the order of 33 garden sleepers. As sleepers are like rocking horse poop at the moment I thought I’d take a risk. Glad I did. Sleepers arrived on time and the delivery driver was extremely helpful. Sleepers were good quality, no damage and straight. Couldn’t fault the service.
