Garden Shed

Purchased one of their small garden sheds. It's absolutely fantastic. Instructions we're clear and it was very easy to build. It was a tad more expensive than the alternatives but I had seen many bad reviews about them.

All the parts, bolts and screws seemed to be of good quality.

Service With A Smile

Acknowledged as soon as walked in the store unlike your empty Whyalla shop. Served by Priscilla who is just like her predecessor Vanessa, Genuine, helpful & has got the knowledge and the big smile is just so real.
Great work 11/10.

Wow — 11/10! That’s the kind of feedback that makes our day. 😊 We're so glad you felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of, and it's fantastic to hear Priscilla’s genuine smile and expert service stood out. It’s clear she’s carrying the torch beautifully from Vanessa, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both of them. Thanks for your incredible support — we’ll keep working to make every visit a standout one!

I would never go back to stratco again

I would never go back to stratco again. We put a order in for a patio with the size I wanted only to be given a order that was not what I asked for. When I questioned this the store manager told me that it only came in that size. That was not what I ordered. I was not told this when I purchased it. I was not able to cancel the order.
The store manager from Capalabar was so rude. I tried to explain that it wasn't what we ordered. I was told that I was given a $300 voucher and I should be grateful. The voucher was because there was a 20% sale on the Saturday and I purchased it on the Friday so I rang the store to see if I could get the discount. I was told the discount didn't apply to the package I purchased. I beg to differ. The Omomoe store were the delivery was to be picked up gave the delivery service that I paid for the measurements that I didn't order so it wouldn't fit in his truck. I had to call the state manager to have the size cut down. I had to pay for 2 delivery services. If you ask for something to be a certain size. You don't expect it to come in a different size. I have always written a good review on services that I have used. Not this one. You have to be clear to let customers know exactly what they are receiving. If I purchased a dress in size 12 and I received a dress size 16 I am sure that I would send it back. The same should apply here.

Workshop

The staff were busy but trying to serve a busy shop. Bunbury. Assembly was a bit more trickier than I thought. Delivery -super fast - I did have a few problems and whilst the phone staff tried to be helpful they just were not experienced enough and no one was available to help her. I like the product and it will serve my needs well.

What has happened to customer service!

Walked into Kunda Park (Sunshine Coast) Stratco this afternoon - 2 staff at front desk and three staff members sitting in front of computers. Not one staff member acknowledged me walking into the showroom - or asked if I would like any assistance. I found what I was looking for and was in the showroom for about 15 minutes. Still no customer service.
I walked out and not one person still acknowledged me - felt like I was invisible.
A smile and greeting and good customer service is your job - I will buy somewhere else.

Stratco offers terrible service, and only does half the job

I recently purchased a small garden shed from Stratco Richmond in South Australia . To put things in perspective this shed cost me nearly $5k once you include installation costs . Firstly, they only delivered half the materials, and the installer had to come a second time . Then the installer installed the shed but didn’t include any elbows on the downpipes . He also didn’t seal the shed so water kept going in . Stratco advised the elbows weren’t part of the shed kit, and when I rang to say it needs this to redirect water away from shed ,I was made to feel like I am ridiculous for suggesting it . What would a woman know right ? I went to the store I purchased it from ,and advised that since it has rained all the water comes into the shed . I even showed them a picture . They didn’t seem to care, and said maybe the elbow needs to be installed . I asked if they have them , they didn’t have them . I asked if another of their store locations had them . They confirmed, yes ,they did . I said that store is too far away for me . They never offered to get one sent to their store 🤦‍♀️ Two months after the installation of the shed someone arrived at my house to deliver a part for the shed . What the ? The guy who organised the shed for me (Patrick) was good ,but everyone else provided very inadequate service. They provide the bare minimum ,and really don’t care to provide any after sales service when things aren’t right . Very poor . I don’t recommend them . Bunnings were a lot more helpful . Olympic industries did a great job with my brothers new shed . Installed it properly ,and sealed it .
