Good Service

Website is user friendly and ordering was quite easy. Quickly found a supplier close to me and the prices were cheaper than going direct. Very pleased.

Ordering process was great

Ordering process was great and the website easy to navigate and use.
Unfortunately the supplier sent the wrong item and it had to be refunded.
I was supposed to get a call to confirm delivery but that didn't happen, luckily I was home.
This was not a reflection on Plane and Simple and I would highly recommend their service.

Hi Lynda,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations.

We can't see that you've contacted us directly to help resolve any issues but we'd love to gather a little more information so we can investigate this further with the merchant partner who fulfilled your order.

At Plane & Simple, we work hard to connect DIYers with trusted independent builders' merchants, and when a merchant falls short of the high standards we expect, we take it seriously. We'll work closely with them to understand what happened and do everything we can to help resolve the issue.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope we've been able to demonstrate our commitment to providing great customer service, and we appreciate the opportunity to put things right.

Happy DIYing!

My delivery went to my neighbour

My delivery went to my neighbour! 6 x 25kg bags to lift was impossible for me.... You wouldn't return that day... My neighbour isn't friendly and it took her gardener the following day to bring them across for me so not impressed with the service provided.
I did contact Plane and Simple and spoke to a lady about the mix up. I then rang the next day when the next door neighbour's gardener brought them over for me. I rang Plane and simple to let them know this had happened and they were thankful that the driver didn't need to come out again.
