Issues with pitchcare delivery

Has anyone else experienced problems with them recently? I feel it is useful to highlight this issue to others as I have had to reschedule work twice which has directly cost me money and time.

Basically, I placed a pallet order and was given a delivery day. On the delivery day the pallet company called to arrange delivery for 3 days later as apparently they only just got the items and work to a 72hr delivery timescale from then!

It seems pitchcare are promising a delivery day that ties in with the pallet company being given the items, but completely different to an actual delivery day.

I sent them an email about this at the start of the week after trying to call twice and not getting an answer but have had no response at all now, not very good.

  • I had this happen last year on a pallet of fertilizer - though only a day late, it was unclear as to whom was to blame and the pallet arrived at 8am the next morning so delay was not too disruptive - I did not persue at the time.
    My 2 most recent orders have all come in on time, perhaps staffing issues? Do they have someone on here to disucss about?

    Not getting back to you is the more serious point - customer service failure is worse than the delay in the first place.

  • I ordered 20kg of grass seed from ProGreen for a new lawn to be sent to the customer as they would be there to sign for it. Ordered on the 10th, turn up at mine 22nd. By then I'd already brought some at double the cost from local supplier as the job was running on too long. So it's not just pitchcare

    Hi Matthew,

    We're happy to face up to our failures as well as our successes. Unfortunately in this instance we were let down by third party couriers & our seed supplier (all in one order) - Not great and we've taken measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. We had hoped the part refund that we've already given went some way to make up for the inconvenience - if not call me. Louise
