“Efficient”

Adam N.
5/28/21

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.

“Terrible service”

Mark S.

Ordered from this company, products were damaged, no reply, didn't want to know about it! Won't pick up the 3M pallet even after delivery driver said they would. Sales person is rude and just hangs up! Will never use the company again!

A very easy order process online.

However, delivery driver didn't call to give notice and as a result put the timber where we didn't want it, two packs turned up, 1 being different width boards to the other pack (useless) the phone umber on the website requires at least 2 goes before anyone picks up.

Reason I chose this business:

Recommended- also$1200 cheaper than other places but now I know why

Reason I chose this product:

Clients choice to use blackbut

I made an enquiry about having a particle board flooring sheet cut into three lengths and the order was soon generated via the chat line by the helpful staff member.

Picked up the order that afternoon after paying online.

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.

Fantastic Customer Service. Always offer a solution when timber size I ordered wasn't available on the shelf at the time which enables you to keep your project moving forward.
Friendly helpful staff...unlike a lot of other places we can't mention...

I found the price of the product I purchased to be very competitive and about 10% better than the "Trade" price that my builder got from his supplier.
I was told the delivery was scheduled for Monday 0700-0730 and that is exactly when it arrived.
Having not heard of the company, let alone using them before I was skeptical. My concerns were proven wrong and in this case, I was happy to be wrong.

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.

Website could be better if I could confirm actual dimensions for the heritage skirting profile. But they have a huge range so might be difficult to have all the detail I would like.
Overall, fantastic service and delivered same day, at a great price. I will definitely be using Megatimber.com.au again.

Reason I chose this business:

Because part of Canterbury Timber

And now that i have recieved the delivery, very happy that it is exactly what i wanted.

Thanks for your feedback. We hope our website is easy to use and can back it up with fast delivery and great prices.
We are glad that the skirting met your requirements and are great quality.We have tried to include as much information as possible from the manufacturer for those profiles, but will request further dimensions to make it easier to order.

Just a small online order!
Quality of the timber extraordinary.
Liked the customer service.
Right on arrival at the yard, I was approached by one of the store man and helped to get what I order online.

Great no nonsense service, will come back

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.

Zero communication after ordering. The first I knew about my delivery was a phone call from the one driver saying they were outside my house. I was 30km away!

Reason I chose this business:

Somewhat below par from my previous experience. Requested quotes twice and third time only received partial quote. Not everything requested was priced.
Fortunately I called and Micheal answered and provided a quote for the timber that was missing from previous quotes.

Received a phone call to advise pickup ready up to 5.30 day of ordering or next day from 6am. Very professional and friendly service. Also had good stock of profile required. Other local places had to place order and wait many weeks or just didn't stock the profile I required.
Very easy transaction and pickup. Definitely recommend.

I had a great experience with the team at Megatimber, especially Jayden. He assisted with the order, called me on the day of delivery to say the order was on it's way and then followed up with an email to check all was ok. Great Service. While price is important, so is the service and Megatimber will have me coming back again.

I went online and ordered timber for delivery and it was delivered 2 days later. The whole process was easy and the delivery driver was very helpful and efficient.
I would certainly recommend Megatimber.

Really happy with the products, driver and the way this was packaged. Unhappy with their total lack of commication. Was in commuincation to find out when delievry would be made and was told he was on his way, when in fact thi shad already been delivered some 5 hours prior.

Emailed several times. One time really responsive, other times, not so much at all. I was doing the chasing, no forthcoming on their end

Reason I chose this business:

Googled timber and this came up as they supplied the lengths we were after

Reason I chose this product:

We were able to purchase the lengths we were after and they delivered.

* Megatimber attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

From the outset, the team communicated to me regarding the non-avalability of the timber I ordered and provided an alternative. Soon thereafter they again rang me to inform that they have searched other sources to find what I had originally ordered.
Soon thereafter they rang to inform me of a time for delivery which actually occured on that date.
The only issu I had was with the difference between 'Canterbury Timber' being the web site I ordered on line and then being called from 'Megatimber'. It took a while for the relationship to get straight in my mind. Suggest maybe clarify this on the 'Canterbury Timber' web site in the firsat instance to avoid further confusion by other persons.
