Exceptional Service

The service was excellent, we placed our order online and the next day someone rang to confirm they would deliver the following day and they did!! We couldn’t have asked for more

Paid for materials in full then, 8 days later, notified of delivery delay of a further 12 days.

Paid for my ordered materials on the 25th May 2020 and then I was contacted on the 2nd June 2020 to be informed my delivery will be arriving 15th June 2020.
Why would Bradfords take funds from my account when the product I required appeared to be a stock item when ordered, only to be told Bradfords were awaiting delivery of fresh stock.
The delay of many items is understandable, in view of the pandemic we are all living through, I understand.
I would consider a more professional approach to customer liaison would be to explain the delay and suggest the payment to be delayed accordingly. Explain if necessary that a securing deposit is required at point of sale and the balance will be required before delivery.

Sorry for the poor experience Paul and thank you for the suggestion of improvement, it is something that we can discuss especially for the online side of things as it makes a lot of sense! Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Ordered a trellis fencing panel about three weeks ago. Chased up last Saturday to be told that this was not held at Pool but St Austell had stock and someone would call me back Monday. Called back Tuesday to be told that this was a non stick item with a four week lead time. Cancelled order!!!

Sorry to hear this Mark, demand for these products is currently a lot higher than supply and this has caused some localised stock problems , not that this is your problem mind, I am sorry for the poor experience you have had which could have been made easier by better communication from us.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Good service

Had to wait a little time for stock to come in, but totally understandable because only just opened after lock down. But delivered first thing on the day they said they would.

Ordered sleepers and timber online 12th may. Recieved a phone call from local store saying it would be delivered on 22nd May. 22nd came but no delivery so called local store that day only for them to say it wasn't in stock!?!?
Staff said they would try and get hold of neighbouring store and call me back. Didn't hear anything back. Called three more times only to get told they were still trying to get hold of neighbouring store in Penzance???
After hearing no updates we contacted the other store ourselves the next day. Still not received our goods. Poor to say the least... Project on hold and could have been finished if products were delivered when originally stated. Very disappointed.
Hoping products may come soon????!!!

I hope they will come soon too Andrew, sorry for the poor service , no excuse for it at all, communication avoids problems like this, thank you for sharing

No customer service

No contact whatsoever over two weeks since ordering online as a longstanding account customer. Online chat promised to sort that five days ago and still no contact. Whilst I appreciate we're in difficult times, this is nevertheless very poor given the online ordering service is on offer.

Great customer service. Kept me updated. Great value products.

I ordered online and got a phone call later that day to confirm I still wanted to place the order as it would be delayed for about a fortnight. I was still happy to place the order. They rang a few days before the delivery date and asked if I was able to receive that day which I was.
Very difficult to get hold of building materials in these COVID times but they kept the prices the same and and the service and delivery was excellent.
