“Everything was great but delivery systems could be improved for the price”

Great product and faster than expected delivery. My only ciriticism would be the $119 local delivery fee where requests for an ETA were somehow missed and therefore instructions not followed. Also I had to help unload as only one guy (who was a lovely gentleman BTW) with a shoulder injury was sent out. Overall very happy with the product and will definitely buy from these guys again, but it might be more cost effective to pick up.

“Terrible service”

Ordered from this company, products were damaged, no reply, didn't want to know about it! Won't pick up the 3M pallet even after delivery driver said they would. Sales person is rude and just hangs up! Will never use the company again!

Fantastic Customer Service. Always offer a solution when timber size I ordered wasn't available on the shelf at the time which enables you to keep your project moving forward.
Friendly helpful staff...unlike a lot of other places we can't mention...

Called the customer service to check stock.
They said they had plenty.

Had to place the order in rush, tried to call every 2 hours in the next 2 days and no one answers. They don't even tell you the ETA of delivery.

By the time the material arrived, it was the wrong stuff. I called them again and they said they were out of stock, and had to change to something similar without communicating with me.

Product is somewhat more expensive to other suppliers, transport fee is definitely way too expensive and unreasonable.

Called the next 2 days non stop after placing the order. No one answers.

They lied about the stock.

Reason I chose this business:

Found on web and they told me they have the stuff that I need, which they lied

Reason I chose this product:

Project specific

Ordered materials for DIY project on a Saturday materials came on Tuesday. Despite what the order confirmation said there was no communication about when the delivery was going to happen. So come Tuesday morning I receive a call while I'm at work that the driver is 15 mins away. Wasn't a big deal but only because my delivery was small. Would have been better if I was told a day in advance when the delivery is coming so I could plan accordingly.

Great experience. I will use Megatimber next time I need a load of timber. I was notified by the driver that he was on his way. He arrived on time. He positioned the timber perfectly. Thank you

Received a phone call to advise pickup ready up to 5.30 day of ordering or next day from 6am. Very professional and friendly service. Also had good stock of profile required. Other local places had to place order and wait many weeks or just didn't stock the profile I required.
Very easy transaction and pickup. Definitely recommend.

Somewhat below par from my previous experience. Requested quotes twice and third time only received partial quote. Not everything requested was priced.
Fortunately I called and Micheal answered and provided a quote for the timber that was missing from previous quotes.

A very easy order process online.

However, delivery driver didn't call to give notice and as a result put the timber where we didn't want it, two packs turned up, 1 being different width boards to the other pack (useless) the phone umber on the website requires at least 2 goes before anyone picks up.

Reason I chose this business:

Recommended- also$1200 cheaper than other places but now I know why

Reason I chose this product:

Clients choice to use blackbut

The lengths of timber needed for the task were not available. (8 off 3.6m) so they substituted it for 1.8s and mixtures of everything under.
Net result. The total length in metres supplied did not even meet the ordered qty. Project did not get done, allocated time for the job to be done. Mega mess up. Now I have to go back and find some correct lengths. Every length of timber and size I have ordered was not available and not delivered to the correct sizes ordered.

Reason I chose this business:

I have up to now had a good run with them and have started telling other project engineers to buy from Mega.

Reason I chose this product:

It was on the website, it had not comments of being un available. I could order the material ahead of the needed date via the web.
Not so.

We had a couple of hiccups - caused by us, but Daryl was awesome at making this happen - the service was outstanding an commendable. Daryl worked with us to make this transaction as smooth as could be - and delivery was so prompt - the Driver was totally helpful.

Quality of the timber extraordinary.
Liked the customer service.
Right on arrival at the yard, I was approached by one of the store man and helped to get what I order online.

Great no nonsense service, will come back
