Overall this was a good product
Overall this was a good product, however it should be stressed that the instructions and product part labelling is dependent on interpretation and that a level of ability and access to other tools and equipment will be required to complete the assembly successfully

Réponse de Shire Garden Buildings
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re pleased to hear that overall you were happy with the product.
We really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the instructions and part labelling. We understand that assembly can be more straightforward for some customers than others, and having the right tools and equipment available can certainly make a difference. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll take them on board when reviewing how we can make the instructions and labelling clearer for future customers.
Thanks again for your feedback — we hope you enjoy your new building!
My mum who was on end of life care…
My mum who was on end of life care wanted to buy my girls a playhouse as her final gift to them, after looking online at many others I decided to purchase from Shire. On ordering I was given 28th April for delivery, that date came and playhouse didn't come so I called Shire who said that it was due to me cancelling the other item I had ordered, an error put a hold on the playhouse delivery. So I was given a date in June more than 5 weeks away, kids were upset but nothing I could do so we just waited, had to explain to my mum that it had been delayed but due soon. Then before delivery was due I received a phonecall saying production was low and I wouldn't have my playhouse until the 21st July, my mum passed away in June. Then upon delivery one of the panels was badly damaged and not fit for use so had to arrange a collection and swap for that one, and upon further inspection another panel was damaged and had to wait a further week for that. I would not recommend this company to anyone, they do not respond to emails and no offer of recompense for any of this has been made.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry that your delivery arrived with damage, and we completely understand how disappointing this must have been.
We’re pleased that we were able to speak with you, arrange for the damaged panels to be replaced, and get a replacement manufactured as quickly as possible. We really appreciate your patience and understanding while we put this right.
We’re sorry again for the inconvenience caused and hope that, once everything is completed, you’ll be able to enjoy your building as it should be.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the outcome of your warranty claim.
Every warranty claim is assessed individually using the information and photographs provided, together with the warranty terms and care requirements supplied with the building. Following a review by our technical team, it was concluded that the required treatment and ongoing maintenance specified within the assembly instructions had not been met, meaning the claim did not fall within the terms of the warranty.
We appreciate this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, but the decision was based on the evidence provided and the conditions of the warranty, rather than being a reflection of your concerns.
We wish you all the best going forward.
Knot hole in side panel
Knot hole in side panel, lump in floor panel, uneven particle board for the roof, twisted bearers and coverstrips, felt nails too small and a shortage in the roof fascia makes this a challenging project. Basic carpentry skills needed and plenty of time.

Réponse de Shire Garden Buildings
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced a number of issues during the build, particularly with the knot hole, floor panel, roof boards, twisted bearers and the missing fascia. We appreciate that having several things to address can make what should be an exciting project much more frustrating and time-consuming.
We’re pleased that we were able to respond to your delivery query promptly, but we’re sorry that the product itself hasn’t given you the experience you were hoping for.
We’d really like the opportunity to look into the issues you’ve highlighted and see what we can do to help. If you haven’t already, please get in touch with our Customer Service team with your order details and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — your feedback is genuinely appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Jayne. We’re genuinely sorry that we let you down.
We completely understand your frustration after your delivery was delayed twice and, more importantly, that you felt you had to contact us yourself to find out what was happening. We appreciate that when you’re waiting for a large order, clear and proactive communication is just as important as getting the delivery right.
We’re particularly sorry that the delays and lack of communication ultimately caused you to lose confidence in us and cancel your order. That’s certainly not the experience we want any customer to have.
We can only apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment caused, and thank you for your honest feedback. We’ll be taking your comments on board as we continue to improve how we communicate with customers when unexpected delays occur.

The after support is terrible.
The after support is terrible.
Purchased via third party in July - on having it installed the carpenter noted 1 door was warped. Emailed the third party straight away - 31 July still waiting for Shire to send out via DHL the "fix" they have provided. Chased many times, apparently they still waiting DHL tracker number. Not buy a shire again and would not recommend

Hi Donna,
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with the aftersales service.
Following our assessment, we arranged to send replacement turn buttons as the initial solution for the warped door. Unfortunately, there has been a delay in the courier providing the tracking information, and we appreciate how frustrating this has been.
We apologise for the delay and appreciate your patience while the replacement parts make their way to you. Once fitted, if the turn buttons do not resolve the issue, we will of course be happy to review the matter further.
You get what you pay for I suppose and…
You get what you pay for I suppose and Shire sold me a reasonably well made, but not solid, summerhouse. The fittings are flimsy and the hinges are not robust. The instructions are good but the final product was not great. It was OK. There were finials missing but were quickly despatched with no fuss. They delivered when they said they would. If you want a fairly cheap but not first class product go to Shire.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the delivery timescale.
Having reviewed your order, we can see that the promised delivery date provided by Robert Dyas at the time of purchase was 16th August on the portal. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen production delay after your order was placed, we have had to reschedule your delivery to 24th August.
We completely understand your frustration, particularly as the original lead time was an important factor in your decision to order. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
If an earlier delivery slot becomes available, we will do everything we can to bring your delivery forward and will contact you straight away. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you'll be pleased with your new shed once it arrives.
Waiting for paint to dry
Was delivered on the date requested and was off loaded and stacked neatly beside the house.
Didn't realise the base coat would be patchy, having spoken with customer servicrs they assured us this would dissappear after painting, this has made us rush to get it painted before assembly. resulting in a garden full of painted pieces...
So far it has covered and we cant wait to see it finished.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your lovely comments about the delivery service. We're so pleased to hear everything arrived on your requested date and was stacked neatly for you.
We completely understand your concerns about the patchy appearance of the base coat. This is perfectly normal with our pre-treatment, but we appreciate that it can be a little surprising if you're expecting a uniform finish. We're glad our customer service team was able to reassure you, and it's great to hear the paint has covered well.
We hope the assembly goes smoothly, and we're excited for you to see the finished result. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you enjoy your new garden building for many years to come!

We're sorry for the confusion and appreciate that communication between retailers and manufacturers can sometimes be frustrating for customers. We also note your comments regarding the condition of the product and take this feedback seriously.
If there is anything further we can assist you with directly, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We wish you all the best moving forward.
