Hancocks are amazing. Staff are great at the Watford branch and delivery tends to be smooth with DPD. On occasions where there has been damage on transit, there’s no quibbling.

I would give them 5 stars if it weren't for a few minor issues. They don't offer a credit account, which makes things a bit inconvenient. The bigger problem is that they quite often run out of certain stock, meaning you either have to look elsewhere or wait 2-3 weeks. On bright side, when everything is in stock, their service is impeccable.

When my order arrived one of the boxes was open. To me it seems like it had been opened by the driver before delivering it. I did question the driver and he was giving very vague answers

So many products constantly out of stock coupled with the ridiculously high delivery costs makes Hancocks the least attractive supplier
