Wasn't sure what to expect
Wasn't sure what to expect, but what I received was easy to order, they kept me informed when the delivery was to occur, reversed up the drive and placed the two bags of gravel exactly where I wanted them. Now that was service ! Thank you.

Good communication about my order
I looked everywhere for treated 22cm wide board. Ordered on the Bradfords website late at night. Contacted by Bradfords the following day to apologise for not delivering that day but it would come from another depot in Helston the following day. Their delivery driver called to ask where to put the delivery on the following day. Great service and happy to recommend.

Brilliant service
First time using Bradford's for ordering timber. Price was competitive and the quality of the wood was really good. Customer service was amazing when I arrived. They sorted out my order in a few mins. I'll definitely be using them again.

Trying to change a wrong delivery address with someone call “Tristan.”
Very unhelpful and argued with with me that I didn’t know my own address and then hung up on me.
Now the driver won’t find the right place.
Unbelievable.

Excellent service and products
Bradfords at Redruth were excellent. They assisted in choosing the products I needed and they arranged delivery very quickly.
The quality of the materials looks good, especially the timber, when compared to the firms in this area.
The delivery guy was also very helpful and polite, and I really can not fault them. Thank you
