I paid £40 for delivery to take place between 1pm and 6pm, and we stayed in to wait for the delivery. At 6:03pm, I got a phone call that delivery would be late, and that it would be at 7:10pm. At 7:02pm I got a call saying it would be at 7:20pm. And at 7:33pm, delivery finally happened - it took less than 5 minutes! The whole experiences was far below the standard I expect when paying £40 for the privilege. This did not make us feel any better about having waited for hours without any updates. At a minimum, I expected a refund of the delivery and installation charge (however Pines and Needles have refused this and instead offered free delivery for next Christmas). They are having a laugh. The tree was also one of the worst I have ever had. The guy actually told us that it was probably cut a month ago! I don't think I will be using this company again.
