Good Afternoon Mr Hoyland
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 the poor communication regarding delivery.
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.
Kind Regards,
Sam

Bradfords Penzance provides decent service with competitive pricing and convenient online ordering. Delivery was on time, and staff were polite and efficient. Communication, including updates on delivery, was reliable. While the service met expectations, there were no standout qualities to exceed them. Overall, a solid experience but not exceptional. Would consider using them again.
