Was very easy to order various timbers on the platform. Delivery was in 3 working days and exactly as asked - we have difficult site access.

Shipping too expensive

Shipping too expensive costs more than the product

Hi Frank. Sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately your order was from East Gosford, and our business is in Sydney. Our delivery costs are fixed as we use our own fleet of delivery trucks. You selected Pick Up as an Option when you placed your order. Organising your own courier to pick up the items would have been possible too. I note that we refunded your order promptly when you were not satisfied with the Delivery options.

PayPal

A problem with Pay Pal paying for the timber, looking on the website again it had gone up 800AUD, the gentleman that I was dealing with said he would honour the first quote, but couldn't give me free delivery as offered by your company.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Unfortunately during this building material shortage, we are experiencing price increases daily from our suppliers.
But our Sales Team honoured the price that was originally quoted to you. We hope that our delivery and fulfillment of the order, during this difficult time of sourcing building products, would help you make the decision to use Megatimber again in the future.

Delivery Issues
July 17, 2021

Why would any company send one delivery guy to deliver sheets of gyprock that require a two person lift? They charge a premium, (pun intended) and under deliver.
They email you saying they'll be in touch but rest assured they weren't.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing good or bad news with us. I'm so sorry that the communication and delivery with us fell short of expectations. I also want to thank you for giving us a chance to make things right.

We're using your feedback to make some important changes:
- Outlining the expectations for delivery more clearly
- Communicating delivery timelines more clearly
I'm pleased we were able to make things better and I hope we see you again soon.

Great delivery driver
June 16, 2021

The delivery driver took the time to help me move the doors into a difficult to access apartment block, he was very careful with the doors and gave me some good tips on storage. There probably should have been two people in the deliver team though. In case I was not able to assist.

Efficient
May 28, 2021

Easy to order and delivered no fuss. One suggestion might be to call on approach so I know when the delivery is coming (luckily someone was home to help driver unload). Other than that, it was an efficient way to get materials.

Fast but poor communication
May 13, 2021

Ordered materials for DIY project on a Saturday materials came on Tuesday. Despite what the order confirmation said there was no communication about when the delivery was going to happen. So come Tuesday morning I receive a call while I'm at work that the driver is 15 mins away. Wasn't a big deal but only because my delivery was small. Would have been better if I was told a day in advance when the delivery is coming so I could plan accordingly.
