Amazing team at Ross-on-Wye
Being not in the building trade, it is sometimes a little daunting to go into a builders merchants, but this visit was a pleasant revelation. I was phoned quickly after putting in the order and advised to pick up the coving from the yard. Not being certain where to go, I went into the sales room and greeted in a prompt, friendly, professional manner. On the way out a member of staff delayed to hold door open for me, with a smile and passing some pleasantries. Due to my lack of IT skills, my invoice hadn’t been emailed so I went back into the reception, where the initial chap again promptly helped me and printed out a copy of invoice, finishing by giving his name to be contacted if any issue in the yard.
I then went to the yard and was met by two chaps, who were cheerful and friendly, and quickly helped me collect the coving.
What a brilliant team at Ross-on-Wye.
Thank you

Returns policy bad for environment
At the request of my tradesperson, I purchased three 25kg plastic bags of cement on 20th December. This morning, the Ross on Wye branch said it would accept return of one unused bag, but when my husband travelled to the branch with said cement, his request was refused. So, now it is destined for landfill - not a very environmentally friendly policy!

Hi Sandra,
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 issue you have experienced with our returns policy.
I apologise greatly that you were misinformed and that you were unable to return the extra bag of cement.
We do not accept returns on any products that are perishable.
However, I completely understand your frustrations with this.
I have passed on your feedback to the relevant team who will look into this further.
I apologise again for this and for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Kind Regards,
Charlotte

The oak sleepers I ordered and were delivered were of terrible quality. I sent them back. I still haven't heard from anyone whether they are delivering better quality ones or not. Not even a phone call

Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I apologise greatly for the poor quality of the sleepers that you received and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Having looked into this further, the branch have advised that they have been in contact with you. They intend to deliver replacement sleepers to you tomorrow and have stated that the quality of these will be checked before being loaded for delivery.
If you have any further issues, please email myself at ecommerce@bradfords.co.uk
