First online order
I've been trading with Bradfords Merchants for years and this was the first online order placed (mainly as they were offering a 10% discount). But I have to say it was faultless, easy to navigate and use the website, discount applied as expected and payment made, delivery within 2 days.
Had advance warning of the delivery on the 2nd day with anticipated delivery window, it arrived in that timeframe and the driver couldn't have been more helpful, no fuss or rush, great service, (actually better than trying to find yard staff to help you load).

Respectful and helpful service
Only purchased two lengths of timber - ordered online which was very easy and then collected from St Austell store. Staff there were so helpful and friendly. This made me want to order items and return more often. This is particularly important as I am a woman and often building stores can be quite chauvinistic. I was treated equally and with respect and felt very comfortable shopping in this store.

Always flexible and helpful
I've ordered lots of stuff for a newbuild and the St Austell branch has always been super helpful about organising deliveries taking into account the narrow driveway and timings for when they will arrive.
Delivery drivers have been prompt, polite and helped offload, and James at the branch even remembers about small lorry without me asking!

Click, find it yourself and wait longer than a regular customer
No notification that click and collect was ready, but when called told it had been picked and was ready to collect.
However, when we arrived we had to go and get the product from where it was usually kept (not picked) and then we had to wait for click and collect paperwork to be processed which took longer than if we just came in found the item and bought it normally.

I am sorry to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to not being contact when your order was ready and collection taking longer than expected.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Dropped in on the St Austell Branch…
Dropped in on the St Austell Branch yesterday looking for a particular product to match up too as my usually go to merchant (literally adjacent to where your too ) had'nt got what i required. im glad i did as not only did you stock exactly what i required but the guys in the yard in particularly Louis were so helpful and friendly. His product knowledge was spot on and was also able to assist and offer advice as to other queries i had about relevant up coming requirements. Needless too say i'll be making Bradfords my first port of call in Future... such a refreshing change to receive such great customer service Thanks Louis.
