“I am very fond of brooks and the customer service is great, and these problems may be un reasonable to resolve but I bought a 5.5 lenth of iroko, i found it wasnt too bad compared to a lot of the planks though still took an awful lot of work to get it in anywhere near workable condition. I bought some treated timber and that took days to dry out. and i even made a reception desk out of some of the planed white wood recently and due to the change in temperature the planks did start to separate and even began cuppin in areas. I know the irish weather is by far the main culperate in these situations really to be honest and Im sure I will always shop in brooks.
Maybe try and keep some of the outdoor timber a little bit dryer, and possibly a new stacking system for the expensive hard wood aswel, I would imagen that would pay for its self in no time seeing how some of those planks ended up very curved.
all in all thank you, I don't know where I would be with out you guy's.”
“Totally botched the order
Damaged board - the driver was great and highlighted it at the time of delivery, it was the warehouse guys who basically said "it doesn't matter". upon calling customer service and refusing the delivery, the driver went back got another one.
Boards missing - when followed up they were looking into it. Followed up again after a week, they hadn't back ordered them until i called them. Now i wait another week(or 2) to get them.
Can't blame COVID for this one guys, it was just pure incompetence.”
“Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The products I bought were high quality & delivery was prompt. The one small mistake that happened was easily fixed by phone, so great to speak to a helpful person who actually called me when they said they would.
I'll be shopping at Brooks for my next backyard project.”
