Customer service was amazing and choice. It’s also very close to where I live which is great for getting big items home quickly

The main thing that irritated me was the driver saying he couldn't crane the order to the side of my house which was accessible instead would leave it on the pavement/grass outside our front door....... See more

My whole experience with Bradford's was positive. Ordering on line easy.I was contacted by a friendly member of staff who had promptly sourced some items from another branch and arranged a delivery date with me.
I received a text with a time window on day of delivery.The driver from st Austell Branch arrived in that time window he was polite, friendly and professional, he happily positioned the pallet exactly where I needed it. This is not my first experience of Bradford's and have found them consistently helpful.

The sales advisor was very polite and went above and beyond when I told him I wouldn't be able to pick up my order that day, he said that he lived in the same village as me and would happily drop off my order to my house on his way home.

First class service
I was surprised how easy looking at and ordering from Bradfords website was.
The delivery date for my order was arranged via email and phone call which was a really professional and a nice way to have great communication.
The delivery was received with items well packed against the wet weather.
A job well done by all involved.

I ordered some patio slabs for click and collect. I received notification that the order was ready but some items were on back order. I rang the depot to query this and the items in stock were physically checked and confirmed there were sufficient to meet my order. On arrival at the depot a staff member checked my order then assisted me in loading. Ten minutes later I was heading home. Great service.

The service was amazing!
The service was amazing, I was kept informed every step of the way. The delivery driver was polite, friendly and courteous. He stacked my order exactly as requested. No complaints at all.
One suggestion, would have been helpful to have known that I could have received the wood, precut to size.😀
