    Just bought this petrol lawnmower from Woodies, https://www.woodies.ie/lawn-garden/garden-powertools/lawnmowers/pro-lawn-53cm-self-propelled-electric-start-hyundai-lawnmower-1168768

    Gets great reviews. Other places to consider, dependent on budget are Hanleys in Croom. Think they are doing online as well.

    Dont buy on amazon whatever you do.

    Bought an excellent Brushcutter/strimmer from Hanlys in Croom. Sent it out the same day I ordered it and had it a few days later.

    I e-mailed them for advice beforehand also and had a reply within a couple of hours.

    Bit of a sweeping statement there marty.
    Is it just Lawnmowers, or the entire amazon site, that you wouldn't recommend ?
    And why ???

    All- and the why- they treat their employees like dirt.

    Hi Angel

    only ordered at the weekend. email is now advising 2 week lead time for delivery


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭bodonnell


    Yeah, noticed the 2 week time frame, but for €40 was hoping that was worst case scenario.
    Just ordered one this am.

    I got an email yesterday saying it had been dispatched, but nothing to say when it would be arriving though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭lazyman


    I ordered some garden furniture on a Saturday night and it was delivered the friday week after it, 13/14 days including the bank holiday monday
    I did not get any email or correspondence from woodies to say it was on the way or had been dispatched just a call from the courier an hour before it was delivered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭bodonnell


    Got email this afternoon, order dispatched but no tracking or courier details.
    Originally ordered May 5th


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,281 Mod ✭✭✭✭angeldaisy


    mine just arrived today, so that was 48 hrs from email from woodies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭bodonnell


    Mine was delivered about an hour & a half ago

    I ordered the same lawnmower on the 7th and got a dispatch email on the 11th. No sign of it arriving yet.

    The tracking link on their website uses the same tracking number as the order number so I'm not sure whether it's right.

    Did yours come with An Post? Thanks.
