STOCK LEVELS WRONG
Booked my stuff online they took payment, I went to collect and 4 of the items had been refunded due to no stock, went to the shelf, and they were in stock, no sign of a refund through PayPal, but I still had to pay for the items again. 1 Week later still no refund. GET YOUR STOCK LEVELS RIGHT, ST. AUSTELL & LAUNCESTON.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

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

Bradfords St Austell go the extra mile.
Bradfords St Austell is a fantastic branch.
They are always so helpful and welcoming.
They go the extra mile in their customer service, which really unusual for building merchants. They will always be my first choice , even though I work for a competitor of theirs.

Prompt delivery post-ordering
Prompt delivery post-ordering and decent delivery guy. I'd have given 5-stars but delivery price for an under 1-mile journey is too steep.

Easy to order online and good driver.
Easy to order online except did not understand delivery options buttons. Left it as free delivery by default but would have paid to select delivery time. Driver was great - very cooperative to place item in best location on drive.
