Poor delivery service

Unfortunately, my experience with the delivery service was very poor.

The driver claimed he couldn't get his van/lorry down my road, despite me having received several garden deliveries in similar or even larger vehicles the previous week without any problems. Instead, he parked awkwardly at the end of the road and wheeled the pallet up the street by hand. He then refused to leave it anywhere other than on the road, even when my neighbour kindly offered the use of her dropped kerb so he could safely bring it onto the pavement.

The delivery tracking was also extremely frustrating. At 7:00am, my estimated delivery window was 9:15–11:15am. By 11:00am, it had been pushed back by two hours, and every time I checked throughout the day, the estimated time had moved again. Although the official delivery window was 8:00am–6:00pm, the constantly changing estimates made it impossible to plan my day. The delivery eventually arrived after 4:00pm.

Based solely on the delivery experience, I wouldn't choose to use this company again.

Thanks for your reply. However the driver was a jobsworth and in future will rather use companies that are more helpful than that

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the changing ETA disrupted your day. The tracking provides estimated times that automatically update throughout the day based on the driver's live progress. If they hit traffic or face unexpected delays at previous drops, the ETAs can naturally shift back.

Regarding the delivery, we use third party hauliers who deliver on 18/26t wagons that require significant width to be able to access the road. As stated in our confirmation and processing emails, their delivery method is kerbside at minimum, and anything above and beyond that is that the driver’s discretion as they are not contracted to move goods past the kerb.

It sounds like the driver professionally assessed that it was unsafe to bring a vehicle of that size down your road, but went above and beyond by parking at the end of the street and manually wheeling the pallet all the way to you so you wouldn't miss your delivery.
We appreciate your business and hope this helps clarify the driver's actions on the day. We hope you feel able to order with us again in the future.

Kind regards,
Online Turf

Ordering was simple

Ordering was simple , delivery driver was polite and helpful .. Grass ( stadium) was great quality.. it’s been down nearly 2 weeks and is growing exceptionally well even in this extreme heat ( watered twice a day ) . Online turf even emailed how it was and would email again when they thought it could have its first cut ( hope it’s soon as I’m in danger of losing the dog !) … all in all , good quality and would use again

Excellent product

Excellent communication throughout, speedy and efficient delivery.
The turf arrived packaged well and in excellent condition. Delivery was at 08.00 hrs so we lay the turf the same day.
With watering after two days it was visibly growing and a week on it is thriving- excellent price and product

Hazard, Glass in Turf

Dangerous product and zero accountability for safety hazards.

​I ordered 108 square meters of turf from this company. Upon delivery, I discovered over 10 sharp pieces of broken glass embedded within the grass - not the soil/root system. As a father to two young boys and a dog, this is an immediate and severe safety hazard.

​When I raised this with customer service, I was met with complete dismissal. I was told that glass in turf is an "industry reality" due to "the nature of farmland," and they even claimed that sharp glass would "settle harmlessly into the soil" and didn't pose a safety concern.

Anyone with a garden knows that soil shifts and frost brings debris back to the surface.

​I will have to spend hours on my hands and knees sifting through 108sqm of turf to make my garden safe for my children.

The company refused to offer a reasonable refund or take accountability for delivering a contaminated, dangerous product, offering an insulting £50 "goodwill gesture" before telling me they "cannot assist further."

On top of this only one of the two pallets arrived on the day it was scheduled.

If I could upload a photo I would. I have put them on my Google review.

​If you have children or pets, avoid this company. They do not care about safety and will not support you if your product arrives defective or dangerous.

Hi,

Thank you for your review. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the split delivery - your order should have arrived together as scheduled, but due to an unforeseen transport delay, half of the order was delivered the following morning. We have refunded the additional delivery charge paid as an apology for this.

Regarding the debris - while we maintain strict quality controls, as turf is a naturally grown, bulk-harvested agricultural product, minor foreign objects from the farmland can occasionally bypass our screening processes.

Our customer service team’s intention was not to dismiss your concerns, but to offer reassurance on how the turf will root in in with time and that the small debris would not pose a danger once rooted in.

To acknowledge the delivery delay and the inconvenience caused of removing the minor debris, we offered a £50 partial refund. We're sorry we couldn't meet the higher compensation requested, but we appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with your new lawn.

Kind regards,
Online Turf

Absolutely horrendous service the …

Absolutely horrendous service the third party delivery company palletforce complete lack of communication and when my partner spoke to online turf they couldnt care less because it had already been passed over to delivery company so was not their problem ,delivery was cancelled last week without our knowledge even after recieving a confirmation of the day and time of delivery it was only because we checked for updates we found out when my partner called to complain they were more interested in cancelling the entire order than helping to rearrange! rearranged for today 23/06/26 and was given a time slot of 8am-12pm so my partner took half day off work and surprise surprise it has been moved 2pm-4pm again the employee on the phone was not interested and seem to be confused as to why my partner wanted to make a complaint! currently expecting to recieve another email saying delivery is cancelled and am concerned that if we choose to go elsewhere we will not recieve a refund as they have already failed to reinburse the £10 felivery fee for inconvienience as promised completely unprofessional

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration and inconvenience the delivery delay on your order has caused.

We rely on a third-party haulage company for our deliveries, so unfortunately sometimes there can be unforeseen delays in transit. When the initial delay occurred, our team offered the option of a full cancellation and refund, or to send out fresh turf on an AM service, alongside refunding your additional delivery charge you’d paid. We offered these choices to give you flexibility in helping resolve this for you.

Rest assured our team was actively chasing the depot for updates on your behalf throughout the day and your delivery refund has been processed. If you haven't received it yet, please feel free to contact us directly and we will gladly email over the confirmation receipt.

We’re glad to see that your fresh goods arrived safely, though we are sorry that the haulier was unable to fulfil the AM delivery slot we arranged and that it was pushed back to the afternoon. We will be addressing this communication breakdown directly with the courier to ensure it doesn't happen to future customers.

Kind regards

Poor customer support

I ordered from this company a few months ago and had a terrible time with delivery. In fairness it was a third party delivery company that was more the issue although the phone service from online turf was poor. It eventually got sorted after receiving half the delivery and then waiting for the rest. So I appreciated Online Turfs eventual help (it seems hit and miss who you get on the phone).

Even still the turf was good so I wanted to order again. My road has a unsuitable for hgvs sign at one end but there is another area of access which the delivery company used in the end so that wasn't an issue.

I called today to preempt the delivery situation so that online turf could make make a quick easy call to the delivery company to ask that it go on the same vehicle that it did last time which would be more than suitable for the order that I want. (What are the problems last time was the last minute change of delivery as no one had picked up on it previously)

Online turf pretty much didn't want to listen to anything I had to say, gave no interest in trying to help the situation. I would have thought a company would try and make a sale and help a returning customer but they had absolutely no interest.

It's a shame as I want to order from them again and the delivery company they used was more than capable of delivering my order and this time would have given them two weeks notice to make the arrangements. But they are making it impossible once again it really does depend on who you get on the phone I think

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you were pleased with the quality of our Rye Gold turf from your previous order.

We always want to help returning customers, but we also want to make sure that deliveries can be made safely to our customers.

As we discussed in our email thread following your call, your road has "unsuitable for HGVs" signage and during your last delivery, the courier network struggled to access. While we managed to resolve it last time by absorbing the part of the cost to split the goods down onto a smaller vehicle, we cannot safely guarantee our standard sized HGV access to your property for future orders.

We’re sorry you feel like we offered you no help, we offered multiple alternatives over email, including a discounted rate for collection, matching seed, and a suggestion to split your turf into two smaller online orders so we can request a smaller 7.5t delivery vehicle from the depot.

We always want to do support returning customers, but as your road is unsuitable for our standard delivery vehicles, we recommended the alternative options to prevent the same issues occurring again.
If you'd like to move forward with the smaller vehicle request we suggested in our last email, please feel free to reply to us directly and we can assist.

Kind regards,
Online Turf

Quality of the turf is fantastic

Quality of the turf is fantastic. Lush & green and looking amazing. Love the email updates about when I should be mowing - very impressed with after care. Whole service has been outstanding from the start. We were so impressed, that we’ve started another project in another part of the garden and ordered more turf from Online Turf!! Highly recommend 100%

Avoid

I purchased Rye Gold® turf from Online Turf at a premium price, expecting a weed-free, high-quality product as advertised. Unfortunately, the turf arrived heavily contaminated with Poa annua — a weed grass — which directly contradicts the product’s marketing claims. On top of this, the turf pieces varied significantly in thickness, making it impossible to achieve an even finish regardless of how meticulously the ground had been prepared beforehand. For the price point, the quality is simply not acceptable and does not match what is being promised to customers.
Probably whoever gives 3 stars and up, do not understand what they’re getting.
