Hi Natalie,
We’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy with the delivery of your playhouse.
We do want to note that we responded to your complaint on 4 September at 16:49, shortly after your messages that afternoon. In our response, we addressed your concerns about the delivery, explained the information provided by the driver, and confirmed the next steps should you find any missing or damaged components.
We completely understand that finding the playhouse components left on your driveway, particularly in poor weather, was frustrating. If there are any parts that have been damaged or are missing, please get back in touch with us with the relevant details and photographs and we’ll be happy to look into this for you.
We’re sorry that you’ve been left disappointed with your experience and hope we can help get any outstanding issues resolved.

Hi Shannin,
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and completely understand your frustration, particularly after your delivery date was changed twice without the communication you expected.
We’re also sorry to hear about the issue with the window latch. This isn’t what we would expect from a new playhouse, and we’re happy to arrange a replacement to get this resolved.
In relation to the timber treatment, our buildings are supplied with a dip treatment to provide protection during storage and transportation. As explained in our care and maintenance guidance, the timber does require further treatment with a suitable wood preservative once delivered to provide ongoing protection. We appreciate that this may not have been clear and understand your concerns regarding the areas you felt had been missed.
We’re disappointed that your experience has not met the standard we aim for and would really like the opportunity to put things right. Please get back in touch with our team so we can assist further with the replacement latch and any outstanding concerns.

Please contact our team with your order number or delivery postcode so we can review this and work towards putting things right.

Hi Steven,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and, in particular, the delay in receiving your shed.
We can see from our records that your delivery was originally expected in July and was subsequently rearranged for 27th August. We appreciate that the shed was not ultimately delivered until 7th September, and we apologise for the further delay beyond the date that had been confirmed to you.
We’re also concerned to read your comments regarding the condition and appearance of the shed. Our sheds are manufactured from new materials, so we would certainly like the opportunity to investigate this further and understand exactly what you have received.
Please contact our Customer Services team with your order details and some photographs of the shed, particularly the areas that have caused concern, so that we can look into this with you and work towards an appropriate resolution.
We’re sorry that your experience has fallen short of the standard we aim to provide and hope we can put this right for you.
Regards,
Shire

Hi Nour,
We’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused and completely understand how disappointing it must be to have your greenhouse assembled but not yet be able to use it as intended.
We have supplied replacement components following the issues reported, including replacement gable glazing, and we now need to establish why the replacement glass is still not fitting.
Our Customer Service team contacted you this morning requesting photographs showing the measurements of both the replacement glass and the gable opening. Once we receive these, we can review them with our technical team and advise you on the correct next step.
We’re sorry this has taken longer than it should to resolve and appreciate your patience while we work with you to get to the bottom of the issue.
We have built five sheds.....
We have built five sheds - different sizes, one was a potting shed - over the last 20 years. We purchased a Shires Dutch barn style in 6ft x 4ft size for our new and smaller garden. The fact that we are still married is a surprise as we were nearly heading for the divorce courts. This shed tested us to the limits. Nothing fitted, we had to request a new window panel as the first one was completely the wrong size and the shiplap lines didn't match up. Guess what - the one that replaced it was also wrong. OK, we decided to soldier on as we needed to put away our gardening stuff. We found the panels were weak, so put lots more long screws in to hold it all together better. We realised the whole structure swayed a bit, so for added strength we actually fitted some noggins onto the fence that ran alongside the shed, and screwed the whole thing to the very strong fence. The shed looks quite nice and has been thoroughly soaked in wood preservative and some coloured wood stain, but we don't think it will last very long, given that the wood is all very thin. The quality is appalling. The delivery was OK, the customer service was sort of OK, but the price for what we consider an inferior product, not OK. If it wasn't for the fact that we needed somewhere to put our gardening tools quickly, we would have returned it. We will not purchase from Shire again.

Hi Tony,
We’re sorry to read how frustrating you found the assembly of your building.
We appreciate there was an issue with the original window panel following delivery on 3rd July, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused. When this was reported to us, our team arranged for a replacement panel and glazing to be sent, followed by the additional window frame once it was confirmed this was still required.
We’re disappointed to hear that you remained unhappy with the building after receiving the replacement parts. We would always encourage customers to contact us if something does not appear correct during assembly, particularly before making alterations or adding additional fixings, so that our technical team can review the installation and advise accordingly.
We’re pleased to hear that the finished building looks nice, although we’re sorry that your overall experience has left you disappointed.

Hi Ian,
We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused. We completely understand your point that the confusion surrounding the base requirements could have been resolved much more easily with a direct conversation.
We also apologise that some of the information provided regarding the measurements was unclear, which has resulted in unnecessary back and forth when you were simply trying to make sure your existing base was suitable before installation.
We have now reviewed the requirements again with our assemblies team so that we can provide clear and accurate guidance on the base and the additional support required for the floor joins.
Thank you for your patience while we’ve worked through this with you, and we’re sorry that the process has been more difficult than it needed to be.

Shambles from start to finish
Shambles from start to finish.
Ordered, said they’ll arrange delivery within 4 weeks, waited until the very last day to arrange delivery said it would be a week, the day of arranged delivery nothing comes so I have to phone up and check, turns out “it wasn’t loaded onto the delivery vehicle” oh well things happen. Exact same thing happens the following week with no correspondence. Had to phone and check, they then schedule the following week, and lo and behold it’s further delayed. Eventually comes with bare patches on the wood where whatever stain or coating has been missed when applying.
In summary.
Poor quality
Poor delivery service
Poor customer service

Hi Darrin,
We’re very sorry for the experience you had with your order. Having your delivery rearranged several times is understandably frustrating, particularly when you had to contact us yourself for updates on some occasions.
Unfortunately, there were a number of separate issues affecting your delivery, including a routing issue, a vehicle problem and, on the final occasion, the delivery driver breaking down while on route. While some of these circumstances were unforeseen, we appreciate that from your perspective the result was repeated delays and inconvenience.
We’re also sorry to hear your comments regarding the finish of the building. If there are areas you believe to be defective rather than simply requiring the treatment specified for the product, our Customer Service team would be happy to review photographs and assist further.
Please accept our apologies that your experience did not meet the standard we aim to provide.

Hi Ann,
We’re sorry for the frustration caused by your delivery. You are correct that your order had been confirmed for 1st September, and we appreciate that having it arrive unexpectedly on 29th August without prior notification was not the service you were expecting.
Although confirmation of the original delivery date had been sent, we should also have made you aware if that date was going to change. We apologise that this did not happen and for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected delivery.
Your feedback has been noted and will be raised with our Transport Team so we can understand why the delivery took place earlier than the confirmed date without you being advised.

Log Store - A few niggles and suggestions
A few niggles and suggestions about the log store.
1. The vertical panels were slightly too long, so they protruded above the top of the horizontal lengths. The cover strips would not have sat flat. I had to saw off 1-4mm from each.
2. The nails for the roofing felt were too short. They kept popping out. I used screws instead of nails to fasten the cover strips and keep the felt in place. It also helped to fit the felt to the top on the garage floor before fitting the top to the box.
3. I found a set of 4 right-angle clamps very useful for holding the four sides in place before fixing them together and to the floor.
4. Our log box will be kept on the patio. I bought a set of 8 rubber feet to avoid the base getting waterlogged when it rains.

We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the log store overall, and we really appreciate the helpful comments from your experience putting it together. We’ll certainly pass your feedback regarding the panel lengths and roofing felt nails on to our team to look into.
The tips around using right-angle clamps and rubber feet are really useful too and will hopefully help other customers.
We hope you enjoy your new log store and thank you again for your feedback.
