“I have used G&S a few times now, always without any problem. This time was different: the delivery was frankly hopeless. I wish you could go back to DPD - never had any problem with them! I have a feeling the delivery may have been more than 5 days but less than 7 days, which your system below does not cater for.”

Good morning, Thank you for your review, I have looked into the delivery for you and can see the delivery was only 2 working days. The order was placed on Thursday the 1st at 20.22pm and dispatched on the Friday. As you had not requested a weekend delivery the earliest delivery date would be the Monday, when the parcel arrived at the nearest Fedex depot there is was an issue with the label which meant the parcel was delayed until the Tuesday and was delivered at lunchtime. We are sorry there was a 1 day delay with your parcel. Kind regards G&S

“Next day delivery on my order, the wood is mostly clear of knots and as straight as anyone could reasonably expect. Really well packaged and protected, with dimensions well within tolerances for the job I'm doing although I did notice a distinct taper on the ends of the 2.4m lengths. Not enough to make them a problem,it actually helped in my situation but fairly obvious to me.”

“Fantastic quality dowels, really well packged and with seemingly immediate dispatch. Overall a very simple online purchase and superb quality service and items. Thank you so very much.”

“Over the years due to having to replace timber fence panels I decided to make my own storm proof ones from 63x38mm timber studding and jointing the timber using 12x75mm dowel joints, each panel is 1800x926mm and is held together by 68 pva glued joints (no screws used). I am about halfway through this project and Falcon work shop supplies who I normally buy this product from are out of stock and no one else has the required size. Fortunately I found G&S who make the 12mm dowel themselves which I have bought in 1 metre lengths (27 lengths gets you carriage paid) Which cost a tad over £51. It arrived in a couple of days and although I have not used it yet it looks good stuff. If you can always support UK manufacturing.”
