“Tall tree but was totally bare at the top two feet”

“Most terrible service - rude and inefficient staff. No care for your home. Zero customer service. Ordered two sets of lights for the tree - they came and were different colours - nobody checked before putting them on the tree. Response from pines and needles were that they would send another set sometime in the next 4 days...couldn’t do anything sooner. Tree then had to be laid down on the floor for all lights to be removed and one set put back on - total joke.”

“Ordered a 5ft tree and the tree that arrived was not 5ft. They then very grumpily offered the other tree they had in the van. This tree was slightly taller but looked poor. It is not acceptable that as we were the last people being delivered to we received such a poor quality tree. For over £300 the tree itself, decorations and overall service was very bad. We use Pines & Needles every year and we will not be using again.”

“Do not order from these buffoons unless you want your Xmas ruined. Ordered tree for a specific date (Xmas party) and was charged but no tree arrived. Called up and was told tree would be there two days later. Cancelled order and had to wait 5 days for refund. USELESS.”

“Having used P&N for many years this year was terrible - the outdoor tree arrived without the proper pot and covered in mud, the indoor tree is leaning at 30 degrees and despite many e mails to customer service i have not been called back to rectify the issue.”

“I should have known better than to use P&N after I used them in 2018 and they gave me a tree that was infested with ladybirds! Anyway, cut to 2019. Ordered tree. It was meant to be delivered between 6pm - 10pm on Tuesday. I left work early to make sure I was home for 6pm. Got my first call from P&N at 9:25pm telling me the tree would be delivered 'within the hour'. No delivery by 10:45pm. Called them at 10:50pm and was told I was the next delivery and they were 'on the way'. Get a call from P&N and 11pm telling me (by a very angry driver who wouldn't stop ranting to the point I couldn't get a word in) that my tree would be with me 'within the hour'. He gave me the option of getting it delivered the following day which I accepted as I's already been waiting 5 hours. I'm now at 3:20pm the following day and haven't heard from P&N despite calling them 4 times, leaving a voicemail and emailing them. Bunch of jokers, go with 'Patch' instead.”

“Good morning, I have been buying your tree for over four years and always purchased a 7 ft Norman for delivery last week November. This year the tree is compliantly dry and has last all his needle. it is watered every day in an American tree base that retain water. I am extremely disappointed with the poor quality of the tree. Pine and needles are becoming very expensive and are increasing their price every year. I will have order a tree from a local florist as the price are becoming similar. Best regards”

“Can't believe the difference a year can do to a company .I have been buying from you for 5 years no problems, no delivery on the due day then promised next day no tree, then it was delivered after I'd canceled it , i needed it for the weekend as my daughter's were both home from uni. Pines and needles blamed the couriers, I'm sure they would ! If you need a tree for a specific day/weekend , get in the car and pick one up more fun ! I will never use pines and needles again ! Ian merry christmas to all readers of this review 😁”

“Purchased from Wendover Woods today, Appalling experience and no advice given how to maintain tree, as staff are young people who have had 4 hours corporate safety training in London - how know nothing about product they are selling. This no needle drop tree which is still outside has been shedding needles all afternoon started when looked at back of car and even when placed on deck - is going back when I can finally get hold of someone at this company ! This was a very expensive product 52 pounds for 5ft tree and expect it to at least keep its leaves My 1st Christmas experience completely ruined by complete commercial/ corporate greed Also if you are so committed to ethical products & environment - then stop giving staff very cheap ( even worse than primary) fake scottish kilts to wear - what was the point And on top of poor quality product, & services, this large company have replaced a longstanding local seller at this location and have completely ruined what always was a special start to Christmas & the trees never shred 1 needle. Complete disappointment”

“So bad. We bought one of the most expense trees and decoration options for our bar, the tree was bald from all of the dropped needles, between their van and front door. I sent the first tree back, the second one was not much better. it was then badly decorated, by 3 people that clearly didn't want tho be doing the job. the customer service was shocking, they don't care, once they have your money. honestly, it's such a rip off. The lowest quality materials at the highest possible price.”

“A loyal customer of 7 plus years means nothing - shockingly bad Customer Service - outrageous attitude - will be going elsewhere this year. As for price matching or beating errrr forget it !! Happily there are other companoes out there that are prepared to fulfill my order at the price that Pines and Needles refused to.”

“Ordered 3 trees for holiday cottages. Arrived over 2 days late; One 2 hours before the guests were arriving. A particular delivery driver from the courier Tufnells seem to be at fault. Emailed pines and needles had no response. Got someone on the online chat; said they would look into it with the delivery company in the next few weeks. This I felt was inadequate. Two of the trees were fine the third one was a little bald at the top and was shedding loads before it got into the cottage.”

“Unlike previous years the tree was barely wrapped so that it dropped its needles in the communal areas. Previous years, they would bring a vacuum too! They had advertised a ‘free wreath’ subj to certain conditions - no wreath and no action from their office. And far, far from cheap to add insult to injury. W9 area”

“Bought a Scottish tree after 2 days needles dropping and sap dripping on floor then black baby spiders all under the tree then crawling away over the floor!! Made my skin crawl. When I complained some sarcastic comments and customer services was useless. Still waiting for money back”

“We have had our tree for 2 weeks and all of the needles have and probably will be dropped by next week. We spent a lot of money on the tree and are really sad it died so quickly 😕”

Dear Customer, Trees are natural products and unfortunately we cannot guarantee a time length on freshness. We do however in these situations offer a replacement. Please contact our customer service to arrange for another tree if you wish.
