However, a substantial number of complaints focus on poor service, particularly regarding refunds and delivery errors. Customers express frustration over late deliveries, incorrect items being sent, and difficulties in obtaining refunds. While some appreciate the quality of the products, the inconsistency in service and communication dampens the overall experience for many. Overall, HSS ProService has strengths in delivery and customer interaction, but persistent issues with service reliability and refunds lead to a mixed sentiment.

My order got cancelled so many times and even at very short notice that I asked to cancel my order, I was contacted by the Bristol depot manager who said that he was happy to refund my order and as compensation he would still deliver my order the following week which was very generous, I have emailed twice but still haven’t received my refund, very poor service
Didn't expect to find want I needed on HSS Pro, but I did, and the price and delivery was loads better than the other well known sheds. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again now I know they sell stuff!

Ordered MDF on 3rd April informed would arrive on 7th then 8th fine, no board arrived. Emailed 9th no response Emailed 14th no response made 2 later phone calls phone rang for 1 hour 15 minutes no answer I went to B&Q and bought a board. On the 16th Selco driver rang couldn't deliver that day broken van it came on the 17th now I have 2 boards what a fuss never again
Good price for quality top soil. The guy who delivered it was very helpful, called shortly before arriving and then placed it exactly where I asked. He was in full PPE which good to see and very courteous.
The machine was late arriving on the day of use but the manager at the Barnsley branch made sure that we got it as soon as possible by having it delivered to us directly. Which was brilliant, we were kept informed and were able to complete the task on the day.
The deposits was refunded promptly.
Delivery was 3 days late and I'm still waiting for my deposit back
2 days before the delivery of a lawn scarifier which was due on a Friday I received an email telling me it would be delivered on the Monday. I gave them 3 weeks notice but they only gave their supplier a few days notice. And I've still not received my deposit back after waiting 2 weeks.Appallng service
Wrong item delivered had to send back. Sent 1 railway sleeper when ordered a 450L bulk bag of top soil. Then took 2 days to sort out and resend what I ordered. Told I need to use option 2 when ringing. No one answers the phone, 25 mins just ringing. Chose Option 1 to place new order explained situation. They transferred me to the number no one answers. Rang about 7 times in total, absolute shambles. Cherry on the cake was they ordered it from Selco who couldn't organise the appropriate vehicle to drop a bulk bag off. Sent smaller individual bags in a courier van. Ordered a bulk bag didn't receive what I ordered, the individual bags made the job harder.
This was the first time we had hired from HSS and the girst time I had used a carpet cleaner. The pick up process and leaving were very easy and quick.the machine was easy to use and cleaned the carpets if my Biwls Club clubhouse very well.
Easy to order. Price reasonable.
Nice to receive phone call, informing delivery would be with me in 10 minutes.
Well presented receipts. Surprise to see you deliver materials. Always looked on you as a hire Company.
We hired a floor sander and it broke halfway through the job. Contacted HSS who said that they would refund and we could rebook - which would be fine, these things happen, though of course means that the job will take twice as long. It took HSS two weeks to collect the defective sander, and then a further two weeks of back-and-forth communication before they said that they would not be offering a refund after all. We will be hiring a sander from a different company to complete the job, which will ultimately end up costing us twice the price and twice the time. Avoid at all costs.
Edit: HSS said in the reply below that they would be in touch - they did not get in touch (7 days later).
Edit in the interests of fairness: HSS later fully refunded the hire cost.
