Really good quality

All you could ask for.

Pleasant first purchase

It was great to have spoken over the phone before ordering, thanks for taking the time to walk me through some of the Balsa tips and info. It’s been 20 years since balsa building slope soaring gliders as a youngster. My first delivery arrived safe and was very well packed. Happy to give 5 stars.

Balsa EXPRESS!

The ordering process was painless, as the website is easy to navigate.
Communication with my Balsa Central rep was cordial and informative.
The actual items ordered came from SA to our street address (often items get taken to our local post office, even if no PO Box is quoted) very fast and were packed extremely well.
We will use again in the future when our next batch of balsa wood is required.

Extraordinary service and product delivery

When you don't have expertise in the product you are buying it is vital to get good advice. I appreciate how this company listened to my needs and directed me to a product that fitted our classroom needs and was a more cost effective purchase. Email contact, responses and patience on the part of sales staff were extraordinary.

Disappointing

Have bought specifically for Cricut project, but the knife blade broke while cutting

We are very sorry you are not happy with your order.
The Basswood ply is available in a range of thicknesses and is not made specifically for use in a Cricut machine. However, if asked we would normally recommend the 1.5mm thick Basswood ply when using the Maker models.
Kind Regards

Fantastic Service - Quality Products

This is our schools second time ordering with Balsa Central and it won't be the last! They are fantastic to work with and very helpful if you have questions. We ordered through the website this time and it was nice to be able to add products to the cart and checkout using the school system/invoice generator. Our order shipped super fast and the balsa wood was exactly what we wanted. It's already in the classroom being used.

Great service

Order dispatched quickly and as ordered

Fantastic resource

Our kiddo loves these!

I have now had two orders from Balsa Central. Both arrived in good time, very well packed . Very happy with your service. I particularly like the 150mm wide sheets when you are building large models. I will definately be ordering my balsa from you guys.
