I love using Bradfords. Staff are always customer friendly and always willing to help. I generally buy timber amongst other items.

I have used my local Bradfords building supply company before, but this was the first time for a delivery. The Order was very quickly followed up by a phone-call the following day, when delivery was arranged. All went well, so am pleased with the experience and would use again.

This top soil had obviously been hanging around in the bulk bag for some time. The soil was badly compacted and there was a growth of lichen and some seeds on the surface. It has taken ages to break up the soil sufficiently to free it from the bag. This is not what I would normally expect of a bulk bag of top soil

Hi Dr Wilde,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I am saddened to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to the quality of the top soil that you have received.
I apologise greatly for this and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will pass this on to the delivering branch so that we can resolve this for you.
Kind Regards,
Charlotte
Online ordering easy, delivery rubbish.
The process of placing the ok order online was very easy.
But for delivery there is much room for improvement. The txt msg sent at 7:33 said delivery (same day) between 7:30 and 9:30, then had a call asking if he could arrive in next 15mins. Then another call asking where I was despite giving clear instructions to their office previous day. Finally, driver was a miserable so and so. At least I got what was ordered.

Send out one person to deliver only
This is no criticism of the delivery man who was good and did just as we asked but it was absolutely rediculous to send a man on his own to deliver the 4 4x8 boards. If my wife had been in on her own it would have been hopeless. The problem is that this is the second time this has happened. The last time my wife was on her own and we are sheilding so she did not want to leave the front door even if she had been able to help. We had an area ready for the delivery but the man said he could not do it alone. We had told Bradfords that we would not be able to help and they knew this but still sent a man on his own. He tried his best to deliver but when we checked the boards and wood were damaged. We sent in photos and emailed them and have never heard back. If we could buy elsewhere we would.

I am saddened to see that you have had such a negative experience with your delivery from ourselves and with the service that you have received while trying to resolve the issues that you have experienced.
I trust that this has now been rectified by the branch,
Who I will follow this up with shorty.

These guys couldn't be more helpful
These guys couldn't be more helpful! I only needed 1 piece of timber, not exactly a big spender, so ordered online for collection but the store don't stock it (tech fault). They emailed to explain, apologetically and said I could collect it from a different branch or get refunded. Instead, between Joe and Jay they arranged to have it brought across for me within a few days.
When I collected it, it was 4.2m, not 2.1m as I'd ordered. They explained that the ends weren't perfect (about 50cm at most) so had supplied a larger piece. On request, they then supplied me a hand saw to cut it down as it wouldn't fit in the car. Overall I'm very happy with the service!
