No fuss collection
Ordered and paid online. I didn't receive any notification of the order being ready so went in anyway and picked the goods up. I was only buying a few sacks of concrete so I suppose they was no point in making up the order separately as opposed to just putting it in the car from the stack, which the yard staff did happily and quickly.
