Looking for battery powered Dewalt tools and Bradfords are being very competitive on their pricing making them cheaper than Screwfix and Toolstation. Can’t get better than that! Very easy to order &... See more

I couldn't find the skirting board on the website. Phoned and was told it had changed code number so perhaps this needs looking at. Staff on the phone and in person very helpful.

Website shows they have in stock when they don’t.

Ordered mortar for click and collect at Crewkerne as my local branch didn’t have it in stock. I phoned the branch to double check after placing my order and was told it would be ready to pick up.

I arrived to find they didn’t have any in stock and all they could offer me was a refund for wasting my time. In fairness they tried to see if another branch could get it delivered and the staff was friendly.

My first time using Bradfords, so my first impressions are not good. I’m sure I’ll give them a 2nd chance, but for now I’ll stick with Screwfix, Jewsons or Toolstation.

Reason for posting this review now is because I received an email today asking me to review the product I never got. They need to improve their website and integrated email.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review,
Your feedback is highly valuable to us.

I am saddened to see that you have had a negative experience and I apologise greatly for the inconvenience caused by this.

I will look into the stock issue between our website and our branched, to make sure that this does not continue to happen.

In regards to the review request, these are automated by Trust Pilot,
However, I will look into this, as I agree, you cannot review a product you have not received.

If you would like to discuss this further, please email myself at ecommerce@bradfords.co.uk.

Kind Regards,

Charlotte

We had a huge delivery from Bradfords…

We had a huge delivery from Bradfords today. Organised with Leah who was a star as the order was added to several times - she is amazingly patient. Delivered with a smile and courtesy by Tim - nothing was too much trouble and I was so thankful he made the delivery easy. These lanes can be difficult but he was brilliant. Excellent service thank you so much

'Click and collect' works well

I used the 'click and collect' system that is currently in force and found it very straightforward. Immediate e-mail confirmation that the material I needed was in stock, followed up by a telephone call from a helpful lady at my local [Crewkerne] depot to say the goods were ready to be picked up. I know that my order was only for a small DIY job, but it allowed me to carry on with the task!

Staff at Crewkerne in the Office and the Yard were their normal cheerful selves even though the Covid Caper must be causing you all a lot of extra work.

Thank you

Good Service

My experience of Bradfords has been excellent. In the past I would normally visit a showroom or yard and place an order. During the virus lockdown I have placed an order online, it worked very well.
If I have further requirements that can be ordered online, I will certainly Use this method.

Very disappointed.

On Friday 5th June at 11.13 am I ordered 4 bags of gravel and one of Sharp Sand for collection. The auto generated email confirming the order advised that someone would give me a call so we could arrange a collection time. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday came and went with no call. On Wednesday afternoon I tried calling several times. The phone rang and rang and finally stopped ringing. No answer. Thursday I tried again and again, it rang out with no answer. On Friday morning I checked my bank account only to find that Bradfords had taken my money on 7th June (two days after my order). I still had not received any phone call. I decided to visit the Crewkerne site and when I arrived and explained the situation to the young man, there was no apology, just a "well I don't know what happened here", somewhat mumbled at that. He did sort the order for me but to be honest, I am less than impressed with the service I received. To be honest, I really wouldn't recommend anyone using the Crewkerne branch of Bradfords if they want good service.

Thank you for the detail provided here Anne, although I am very sorry to hear of the poor service you have had, the phones are somewhat busy at the moment in most of our branches which can make getting through to someone a frustrating experience but this is no excuse for poor service and you should have had a phone call from us in any case!

Ordered on line

Ordered on line, no response from local branch, called them and lo and behold they knew all about it. Told I could come in immediately a collect items.
Came in with a trailer due to length of planks, after loading and paperwork followed exit signs as usual, only to end up in a car park with very little opportunity to turn the trailer around. When I complained to staff, was told 'the exit sign is no longer correct'. I got blank looks when I suggested that it should be crossed out with some red tape!!
Saving grace was that there was another exit, which was kindly unlocked for me.
Bradfords Crewkerne has served me very well over the last 30 years, but covid 19 seems to be stretching the organisational skills a little.
