Delivery issues
Delivery issues. Original delivery date was for 1week after initial order due to bank holidays), and confirmed by email. Happy with that, no issues there. It wasn’t until i made contact with the store at 11:30 on the expected delivery day to find out an eta, it was apparent the goods were not only not going to be delivered, but also not in stock at the branch. Missed placed picked ticket was the excuse given. Unfortunately I had taken time off work, and employed a small team to help install the materials, costing me greatly. The branch was good at keeping in contact once the mistake had been identified, and agreed to arrange delivery for next day off, however this does not compensate for loss time and expense.

Easy purchase through the website
Easy purchase through the website. Good comms to let me know when the products were available.
The right part of Taunton Bradfords was a little hard to find as the info wasn't clear in the email/text. But once i found the right part of the site, the service was quick and efficient.
