“the ordered material was not complete, part was damaged. For the missing material, I did not get a refund of the difference to the present day”

“Mixed feelings at the moment. We did a click and collect order on Sunday and the staff in the yard were very good. However I’ve since had an order delivered on Tuesday I ordered through A member of staff. I sent him a text message with my requirements for a quotation he swiftly got me a reasonable quotation which I was pleased with. The delivery came on time. I had ordered 10 lengths of treated 4x2 as part of the order. 10 were delivered but 9 of them were untreated so I can’t use them. I texted the same member of staff and he said he’d look into it. Nothing back from him as yet and I tried calling him today.”

“I am a first and last time customer of Built! The reason I used Built was for the guaranteed delivery slot. I am sure you can understand my frustration when you delivered my order four and a half hours late! When trying to phone your call centre I was put on hold and then transferred to voice mail. Very poor service and very disappointed customer. Please refund the delivery charge as requested.”

“Not a fast service, wasted time to get my order. The printer wasn’t working so couldn’t get a receipt.”

“I arrived at the store within my time slot. I was still made to wait 1 hour in the store for my order to be ready. There was a lack of communication between all staff members. All staff members seemed to be waiting for someone else to do the job for them. When I was finally able to collect my order - I was given the wrong length of timber. This led to more waiting while a worker looked for a tape measure to check the length of the timber. It took over 1 hour to collect 5 pieces of timber. It was extremely unprofessional for a builders warehouse.”

“This is my third visit to BUILT and my second purchase. My first order was sent to the wrong address, my second attempt was a wasted journey as the item I wanted was not actually in stock despite their website saying "In stock". The second purchase (third visit) was for planned timber board. Their website said stock however I called to get confirmation. Unfortunately the staff member couldn't find it by name/size so only until I gave their part number was it found. After several frustrating attempts to order via their website to get a discount (using my mobile) I had to go home to use my laptop in order for the payment to go through (something about a bad gateway??). I drove to the depot to collect which took an age even though it was supposed to be ready. Most of the board had been wrapped in film so I checked for the correct sizes against my order then loaded up. I was extremely disappointed upon unwrapping to find that most of the boards were akin to bananas. It was almost like they curled up as soon as released from the packaging. The boards have been laid flat and weighted in an attempt to correct the bows. "fingers crossed".. I doubt I will be using BUILT again for such items.. If you want wood, go to a timber yard.”

“Not Happy, This isn't the first time I've used built. I've spent close to £2000 in materials and again been let down. Ordered on-line on a Friday, chosen a Saturday delivery for the weekend after, had a call on the Wednesday saying they couldn't deliver and then blamed it on a computer error as no drivers.... Please your services needs to greatly improve..”

“Placed a phone order. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wanted 50 x50 Batton. Was told they had 50 x25? I asked if that was the finished size and was told yes. When I turned up it was 45x45. Also they only had a pile of 45x45 on the floor that had been separated because it was bent.!! I had to take one of those and buy a longer length that I didn't want. Could have been a huge order for BUILT as we are on site close by and fitting 650 kitchens for Mc alpines. Sorry guys more professionalism required.”

“Fantastic company, very professional and on top of that have given me a 20% discount on next purchase which is brill because i have a lot more slabs to buy and with you being the cheapest company on the internet what more could I want. I forgot to mention the brilliant delivery service. All in all a fantastic customer experience. Will always use whenever I need building materials in the future.”

“After seeing an online ad I thought I’d give BUILT a try as the prices looked good. First I tried to complete the order online but kept on running into error messages which would let me complete my order. Quite frustrating. Not being one to give up easily, I decided to phone the order through. I spoke to a young lad who was helpful but couldn’t complete the order and said he’d get the sales team to call me back within ten minutes. After a 45 minute wait I called them back. The order was sorted and payment was made, my concrete would arrive on Friday. There was an additional courier charge of £30 which I wasn’t expecting. I thought orders over £80 were a free delivery, but never mind. Friday comes, Friday goes and by 4pm I’m wondering where the order is. I call Richard who is very helpful and says he will find out. He called me back and said my order was close and it would be with me before the end of the day. I waited until 7pm on site and the order didn’t turn up and the concrete didn’t get done to set over the weekend. Monday morning and I’m chasing the order again. Apparently after a few more calls Richard says that the driver ran out of hours on Friday so couldn’t complete my order. I was told it would then be with me by lunchtime today. (Monday) It’s now 12.30 on Monday and still no concrete. Can’t say I’m happy with any part of the service. No calls to say sorry, or we are late or your not getting your order. Sorry we messed up your job and put you and your customer out at all. Sorry we will prioritise your order on Monday morning. Nothing. If I could give a 0 star rating I would. There’s plenty of other online builders merchants.”

Hi Simon, We’re sorry for the delay in calling you back to place your order – it must have been a particularly busy day. To clarify, the free delivery offer for orders over £75 is exclusive to BUILT/ Delivery, which is currently only available to select areas of the West Midlands. All national deliveries are fulfilled by private courier and priced according to the weight/size of your items. Further information about our delivery options is available on our website. As for the delay in getting your items delivered, I can only apologise. We’re working hard to ensure national deliveries are as reliable as possible and are speaking with our courier partners to facilitate this. Your recent experience doesn’t reflect what the vast majority of customers love about BUILT/. It would be great to get another chance to show you what makes us stand out from the crowd. Please look out for a call from a member of our team. Many thanks, Christian

“Very poor service. I was due a delivery on the Friday and I left it until 15.30 before ringing, to be told that my order had gone else where!! When I asked when I would receive my order I was told that I wouldn't receive it until the following Tuesday!! Then I was told that they had run out of stock and that they couldn't say when they could supply it at which I cancelled the order. This didn't stop them taking the payment, when I rung to ask when I would receive a refund I was told 5/7 working days!!! All in all I would not recommend this company. I doubt this review will appear on their website, but I have had my say!!!”

Hi Peter, I'm sorry to hear your BUILT/ experience didn't meet our normal high standards. Your unusual delivery mix-up was the result of an isolated error during dispatch with one of our new national delivery partners. We have since taken steps to ensure this does not happen again. While we made every effort to rectify the situation and keep you informed, we appreciate that you feel dissatisfied. A full refund was issued with our sincere apologies upon cancellation; though it is standard for funds to take up to 7 working days to appear in your account. Your valuable feedback has already gone a long way towards improving our service. We hope you will give us another chance to bring you the true 5-star experience that so many of our customers enjoy. Many thanks, Christian

Hi Tom, We're currently fine-tuning delivery to ensure everyone gets the same fast, reliable service. To achieve this, we've had to alter the delivery area, but it's only a temporary measure, so bear with us. If you’re an existing customer, we will continue to honour deliveries in the meantime. Please contact Adam at the Aston branch to discuss your options. All the best, Christian
