I am grateful for all the efforts that the staff of Pines and Needles took to try to sort out the problem of the removal of a Christmas Tree I was very disappointed and upset when the arrangements that were made for the removal of the tree on 3rd January did not work out particularly as I had to leave to catch a flight before your staff arrived as they were running late. They did keep us informed although a little earlier notice might have been helpful. There was apparently a misunderstanding about the removal of the lights from the tree. I would have thought if the arrangement was that your staff put them on that they would also remove them. This was very definitely my understanding but obviously not yours. It did not say removal of lights on order albeit I had thought I had made it clear on the phone when placing order. This was obviously not the case. I will know for next year to be absolutely specific and check wording on order. Although I was upset your staff handled the situation very well in particular I would mention Allan who was most help and professional in his approach and organised for the tree to be collected this morning which it was. I am very grateful to Allan for his time and patience and the customer service he provided. You do appear to provide an excellent service which on this occasion fell a little short but was retrieved by Allan after the event. I would use your services again but will check and double check my order. I would suggest that those taking orders are very clear about what is provided in removal particularly if your staff have dressed tree or installed lights. Your staff are well trained, polite and helpful on the phone and I am grateful for their help and patience. Kind regards, Joan
