I had a a delivery of six one ton bags of crushed slate this morning from your Skelmersdale branch , just to say the drop off site is on a busy junction , the driver (Edwin ) was excellent making light work in getting the vehicle into the site then offloading the bags in the right position, can’t thank him enough as well as the service at skelmersdale

C24 Kiln dried wood delivered soaking wet.

I ordered a load of C24 150 x 50 as I needed high grade, kiln dried wood to enable me to construct with precision.
Most of the wood that I got delivered was absolutely saturated as it had just come out of the pressure treatment.
Even the delivery driver noted the wood was very wet as it was very heavy.
Was is the point of me ordering high grade kiln dried wood if you send out soaking wet wood?
This makes it difficult to work with and is then prone to shrinking and twisting as it dries out.
When I ordered the wood I even requested the wood to be dry.
I would of sent it all back but this would of meant delays that would put the project behind schedule.
I will not be using NWTT again and would advise anyone who wants dry wood to do the same.

Thank you

Thank you! NWTT. Big job at home, was advised on what to use and price great. What impressed most was the enthusiasm of people I dealt with (Andrew Simm and Gaz M.) a refreshing change. Will be using again and will always recommend. Cheers. Paul. Robymill.

poor customer service, with poor quality items.

ordered Levingtons manure 8th feb, told delivery 13th Feb. After many calls chasing delivery, finally got delivered 4th march - just 4 bags Levington and 4 very much cheaper bags of poor quality manure which I refused. They stated they only had 4 bags, despite it still being 'in stock' on the website and I told them I would have collected 4 bags rather than pay £9 delivery for 4 bags. Told I would get a refund and they would look at delivery charge. had to chase a refund for over 3 weeks with numerous calls and emails, each promising to call me back but didnt. Only when I stated I would take legal action did they actually provide refund but did not refund delivery charges, or for the inconveniece of having to chase with numerous calls and hassle over a 7 week period. Refund was not sent on date specified date so again had to chase this, and the final call call Jimmy sarcastaically said 'I told you I'd phone you back didnt I', then promptly slammed phone down. Terrible customer service and no explanation why it took over 3 weeks for refund. Have used NWTT for several years but wont buy again and I won't recommend.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this has clearly caused. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

To clarify, we did supply the full quantity of your order. This included 4 bags of Levington manure and 4 bags of an alternative manure product, which we believe to be of comparable quality. This was offered so we could try to fulfil your order as quickly as possible during a period of supplier stock difficulties.

We made every effort to complete your order within the expected timeframe, however we appreciate that this did not meet your expectations. From our previous conversations, our understanding was that you were happy to wait for additional Levington stock to arrive, which contributed to the delay.

We are especially sorry that the refund process took longer than it should have and that you felt you had to repeatedly chase this. We understand how frustrating that must have been, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

As a family-owned business, we take all complaints very seriously, and it’s genuinely disappointing to hear that you feel unable to shop with us again. We truly value your past support and are very sorry that this experience has led to this outcome.

Your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed internally so we can improve our service going forward.

Great service

Called in the Waterfoot branch to check the availability of some wood for couple of shelves. Lee in the office directed me to Tony who found a lovely piece of wood just the measurements I’d requested and cut me 2 perfect pieces. They knew exactly what I was looking for and took no time to fill my requirements. On top of that I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price. Thanks, Lee, Keenan and Tony.

Great service

I’m a plasterer by trade and currently doing my own garden up so knowledge of timber and what I need is minimal. Lee and Keenan have been spot on and made my experience easy and pretty much guided me through with what I need. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to use again.

Tony (from the Waterfoot depot)

Tony (from the Waterfoot depot) delivered me 3 tonne bags of hardcore. Because there was a skip in the way, I thought he would have to just drop it in the vags on the street. However, he did a lot of angering around and managed to drop all three bags exactly where I needed them. Top guy, extremely helpful, saved me so much work.
