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.

A few other people also felt that the delivery drivers were unhelpful or that the ordering process led to incorrect items being delivered.

Disappointing Experience with Bradfords

Firstly, I ordered an amount of fencing materials online. The posts, capping rails, post tops, feather boards etc, a separate fence panel and 4 bags of postcrete were all ordered and set for delivery. However, the website stated that the arris rails were 'not available for delivery' and only by 'click and collect'.
Having no other option, I had to order them (in the same cart ) via the C&C method.
When the rest of the materials were delivered, a couple of days later, I asked the driver why the arris rails were only available on click and collect? He said "there's no reason why they should be, as we have got loads of them in stock ".
When I went to collect the arris rails, I once again asked the teenage cashier, why this was the case? She shrugged her shoulders and simply said "Dunno!". That was all the answer I got. Not even an apology!

Secondly, one of the bags of postcrete, that had been delivered, had partly gone off in the bag. So I took the bag back, at the same time that I went to collect the arris rails back, to exchange it. I was told, 'we haven't got any in stock'.

Finally, I asked if they had any arris rail brackets, as I'd forgotten to order them.
She said 'I've got three'. I needed 8
So overall, a very disappointing experience.

Good Morning Mr Tully

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.

I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.

Can't fault the service with Bradfords. First time I've used them and will do again. Website easy to use, communication via e mail or telephone very good and delivery done without any issues. Very impressed with the materials, a good standard and value for money.
