Brilliant service

Requested particular picture in smaller size. Service given was 5 stars. Told there would be a wait but picture arrived sooner than expected. Also ordered rug and that also was delivered to the store sooner. Very happy customer.

I have recently bought a sofa and a rug from Bradbeers on separate occasions. In both cases their personal service was excellent and their communication highly appropriate. They kept me up to date about availability of the products and delivery date

Today I bought a second pair of some comfy slippers as I was so pleased with my previous pair. Bradbeers stocks useful and attractive goods. I can usually find what I need there. I enjoy shopping there and frequency eat in the restaurant. An excellent store.

Quality of furniture great

I bought two chairs and am very happy with them. Sales staff and warehouse staff were very helpful and the chairs arrived on time. The delivery staff seemed under pressure and were not as helpful, leaving me to have to change the feet on the chairs because they had done it wrong in a rush. Reported to warehouse.

Bradbeers not quite there

The sales associate, Denise, was extremely helpful and listened well. Unfortunately after waiting 6 weeks she had to call us to inform us that the supplier could not confirm an order date. So we were forced to change our choice. Although some of our second choice of furniture was available to deliver within a week as it was included in the clearance sale the rest was not and we were told it would take a further 6-8 weeks to have these items delivered. Having been already disappointed by a delay we asked whether we could have the items on display. Unfortunately Bradbeers could not accommodate this request so we cancelled the whole order. Maybe it is a sign of these challenging times but to not want to sell something and lose an order of several thousand pounds seems counter intuitive to me. So overall although everyone we dealt with at Bradbeers was pleasant and helpful they just wouldn’t go the extra mile.

Go-to place.

An excellent choice of items - really everything seems to be well chosen. Got the sort of jacket I have been looking for months for, plus a really nice hat, (the latter in the sale so it was a bargain.) The staff were friendly and helpful. It was also very nice to be able to choose well displayed curtain fabrics by actually seeing and handling them. What a great shop to have so near if you live in or near Romsey, and now I know it is here, it will be a go-to place for me.

AVOID - had to call the police

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!
Their employees got so aggressive towards myself and my partner I had to call the police to calm them down. Absolutely disgusting behaviour! The manager finally came out to what we thought was apologise yet simply kept repeating ‘there’s two sides to a story’ and he knew his employee would never do that - what happened to the customer is always right, say sorry and move on. It transpired this person had only worked for them for 6 months.
My boyfriend had to take the keys from the aggressive removals man (Gary?) otherwise he’d have driven off with half of our house unsecured in the back.
We used them two years prior for removals and couldn’t recommend them enough. This time it was absolutely horrendous. Staff were horrific. From the moment they turned up (late) in the morning they were grumpy (due to being understaffed) and chucking our stuff around.
The manager was a disgrace - strutted into our house with shoes on during a pandemic refusing to wear a mask.
Held our belongings hostage until we made a bank transfer to them.
We have chipped vases and plates due to their poor packing. I dare not approach them about this as I cannot handle anymore abuse from them.
I have video footage of their employee calling my boyfriend a ‘f****** little c***’ yet all we had was denial denial denial.
AVOID like the plague.
