Great experience with Yard Direct…

I bought a roof window from Yard Direct which was competitively priced and their customer service is second to none! Great communication from the outset, and quick delivery. Unfortunately we had an issue with the window arriving damaged (through no fault of theirs) and they did all they could to get a replacement to me in one piece and as soon as possible. I highly recommend Yard Direct and won't hesitate to order from them again future.

Velux windows at a great price

Velux windows at a great price, the website was easy to navigate and the windows I required easy to select by code for the sizes I required along with flashing kits.

The order was delivered as communicated, and the team were always reachable by phone to answer any questions.

If I had one minor thing that could do with improvement is the response to emails. Having contacted the team by email requesting an adjustment of my delivery date, I received no reply and the delivery was made on the original date.

This is the second time

This is the second time, so far, we have used Yard Direct. The order system is simple, the staff very helpful when needed, the product and delivery first class.
Oh and the prices are the lowest we could find.

Before ordering some velux blinds I…

Before ordering some velux blinds I asked what the delivery time was, I was told 13-15 days. Having made the purchase on that basis I have now learnt it will be over 30 days.

Reply from YARD Direct

Good morning,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're very sorry for your disappointment.

We completely understand your frustration, particularly as you checked the lead time with us before placing your order. When we provided the estimated delivery time, it was based on the information available to us through VELUX's ordering system, which indicated a manufacturing lead time of 13 working days. We added a two-day buffer to allow for delivery.

Unfortunately, once the order was accepted by VELUX, the confirmed manufacturing lead time increased significantly due to exceptionally high demand following the recent hot weather. This delay is affecting VELUX's production schedule and is, regrettably, outside of our control.

We appreciate that this doesn't change the inconvenience caused, and we're sorry that the lead time changed after you had placed your order. We always aim to provide accurate information based on the manufacturer's live system, and it's disappointing for us when those estimates change unexpectedly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We value your custom and hope you'll give us the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Kind Regards,
James & The YARD Team

I’’m so glad we ordered again from you…

I’’m so glad we ordered again from you for our new house. The blackout blinds are fitted and look great but more to the point they cut out all the light so will use that function when needed.

Thank you again. It was a pleasure to deal with you!

Kind regards

Poor communication and too slow to deliver.

I am still waiting for my order ID is 100053004.
The last communication was over a week ago saying “my order is progressing”.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.

Having looked into your order, I can confirm it was placed with VELUX on 1 July after being received late on 30 June, and the current estimated delivery date is 20 July.

Unfortunately, we've recently experienced an issue with our automated ETA emails, so it's possible you didn't receive the delivery update. We apologise for the lack of communication and understand how frustrating that must have been.

We're a small business and pride ourselves on responding quickly to customer enquiries. Had we known you were concerned, we would have been happy to provide an update straight away.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has highlighted an area where we can improve our communication, and we're already reviewing our processes to help prevent this happening again.

If there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to getting your order to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,
James & The YARD Team
