Excellent delivery driver
Excellent delivery driver. My driveway and drop-off location is a little difficult to negotiate. My driver dropped off 3 bulk bags of gravel with ease. I would highly recommend her.

Top soil and sleepers
Sleepers great price and condition. Topsoil as it says in description, can be little sandy, but mixed in or adding on top of borders already is okay. Great service and communication.

Really impressed with the customer service team at Bradford’s Helston- Steve on the phone was amazing and went above and beyond to help get the item to me! Really appreciate it- especially at this crazily busy time of year! Would definitely recommend this team!

Online- great! Face to face service - not great!
Ordering and paying online - easy - no problem.
Notifications -great.
Customer care at pick - could be better.
Stood waiting, clearly visible at the counter, for at least three minutes waiting for staff (x3 not with other customer) to finish their conversation to serve me (not work related chat)
VERY laid back, thought I might have to serve myself at one point.

Good Afternoon
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 slow service speed in the branch.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.
Kind Regards,
Sam
