“Really impressed with customer service!”
Visit www.whywoodworks.co.ukI bought the Rock with me Puppy rocker, which, at £72 on the whywoodworks website, seemed the cheapest online I could find. I was initially dubious as with it being Christmas soon, I know some items online may not arrive on time. However, the rocker was delivered within a couple of days and we were very impressed. On opening the box however, we realised the rocker was damaged so we called the customer services dept and were told they would send out another one for a day later. I was very dubious...

“Great service, great product”
Visit www.whywoodworks.co.ukThe easel arrived on the day promised, in time for my small grandson's birthday. He seized on it eagerly and immediately set to work at the blackboard (note: you need to provide chalks separately but a good roll of paper comes with the easel). Nicely made and easy to put together - and the whiteboard on the other side has the added advantage that you can stick magnets on it....

“Fabulous products, amazing service!”
Visit www.whywoodworks.co.ukThe owner Sundae was so helpful on the phone it was clear she had impeccable knowledge of her products & the whole process of getting the products to the customer was very slick. I felt very confident buying from her. Also having checked the comparative prices of the products with Amazon after I placed the order, Whywoodworks was cheaper with FREE next day delivery! Not only that but they have a 'live' system of the stock of their products so if it says its in stock-it is! Unlike 2 other companies...

“Excellent service and delivery”
Visit www.whywoodworks.co.ukInitially I was doubtful about buying from a company that I knew nothing about - I did check that it was registered at Companies House and I rang the phone number given and asked a couple of questions - the answers reassured me. The toy was ordered at about 10.00 a.m. - the confirming email arrived quickly and another email told be I could track the item. The item arrived about 11.00a.m. next day - well wrapped and it perfect condition. The range of items for sale looks good - I am very likely to...

Visit www.whywoodworks.co.ukwww.whywoodworks.co.uk. Excellent!! Having experienced several instances where the level of service and customer care were lacking from other on-line compaies, it was a pleasant suprise to finally find one that finally understands what service means. To demonstrate, my requested delivery address was to my place of work, this must have appeared strange to the delivery team so rather than blindly post the item, and risk non-delivery, they kindly requested confirmation so that delivery would...

The way googlebase collects data from ecommerce sites has nothing to do with the company more to do with google, this review is therefore unjustified.
