Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 524 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, frequently praising the efficiency and speed of the delivery service. Customers consistently highlight the helpfulness and politeness of the staff, including delivery drivers, who often go above and beyond to assist with orders and placements. The ease of ordering, coupled with excellent service and the quality of goods received, contributes to a highly positive overall impression. However, some customers also noted issues with product quality, such as bent timber or damaged items upon arrival, and occasional discrepancies between online delivery promises and actual delivery times. A few other people also felt that the delivery drivers were unhelpful or that the ordering process led to incorrect items being delivered.

I ordered stone from Bradfords Glastonbury. They appeared to offer best value and free delivery.
Truck access was potentially problematic. The office staff were very helpful in discussing solutions. Their driver (Anders) agreed to give it a try, he too proved both personable and also determined in concluding a tricky delivery. I’d not used Bradfords before, I’d certainly use them again.

Supply & Fit Kitchen

I visited Bradfords for a new kitchen and liked their modern designs and the finish, so placed an order. The quotation process through to the fitting went very well. I was advised by experienced personnel throughout and I would use Bradfords again for modernising my home.

Placing an order on the website was easy I was able to see stock levels at my preferred Bradfords. After placing my order I received a phone call from said Bradfords thanking me for my order and to arrange a delivery day. Excellent customer service

Super speedy service…

Ordered some guttering from Bradfords in the morning, it was delivered to me the same day after lunch. No missing parts of the order. Delivery driver was actually waiting for me as we were in town and I was not expecting it to be delivered so quickly. John the driver informed me that the branch was experiencing a quiet period. I wouldn’t expect to receive this level of service every time, nonetheless I was very impressed and John is a nice chap who is friendly and respectful. I had to return a couple of items from the order as I did not need them in the end and the refund process was no fuss.
