It was supposed to be a curbside delivery and they were going to contact me to arrange a convenient time. No contact so there was only my disabled wife at home. The driver carried a very heavy deliver... See more

Quick service both online purchase and physical collection at a very reasonable price.
Good products and great service from the Exeter depot. Would highly recommend
Good site to order from. No email or phone message to say when delivery would take place. Delivery arrived, friendly driver and off loaded promptly.
Great service. Ordering online was simple and the delivery turned up on time and cheerful a driver!
We are quite new to Bradfords but embarking on our next Barn conversion we decided to compare other Builders merchants, having really been loyal to just one [ local & well known]. I created a survey of about 12 items & shopped around. Bradfords came out the best on almost all the items on the list. So annoyed with myself for not having done this before set up an account & have not been disappointed with them. If you are spending £250k on materials the savings are immense.
I was very impressed with the service from BRADFORDS. the order was delivered very promptly and the topsoil was excellent quality
I have just ordered online 2x "GRADE A recovered railway sleepers" (GRS240) for structural construction work with a "rustic look" @ £80 delivered.
Delivered was on time in 4 later.
When properly inspected the first sleeper was slightly rotted near the bolt holes but still square & usable.
The second had about 50% rot in it (which you could tear out in large lumps with your fingers) & a fair bit of twist.
To save another 4 days wait by rejecting it & then getting another, I managed to cut out a "less bad" part to bolt on to the first to become part of a lintel.
(Lord knows how rotted/unusable a Grade B sleeper would be !???)
Quality control, what quality control? I should have taken notice of the 25% of the previous 4 Trustpilot reviews :(
No more "ordered unseen" items from Bradfords for me thank you..
In fairness to Exeter Bradfords, they have just contacted me & are refunding my payment.
They have now checked their stock of "Grade A" sleepers & have found a surprising quantity of rotten sleepers which will ALL be returned to their 3rd party supliers.
Bradfords also informed me that they aim to resolve/redeliver ALL problems, including replacements, within 1 day.
I am impressed. My review was 1 star, but is now 4 stars (5 stars if their delivery driver had examined the goods when loading.)
The Branch were very helpful and gave great service and the products were competitive in price
Always excellent service and courteous staff. Easy to use website. Generally very happy with the company. Even the delivery guy is always friendly and places the materials exactly where we need them
Website was really easy to use and price was excellent. Stock confirmed as in stock and ready and waiting when I collected. Staff were friendly and happy, even went to print out account forms for me to open a trade account shortly.
From website to delivery, including an item I didn't successfully secure on the website initially, which was added through email and telephone. Have used other suppliers, either let down, items forgotten, etc. This was a real lesson in how to run a business with customer service to the fore. Thank You.
I ordered the bulk soil, it arrived very quickly and the soil is top quality.

A good service. I would have given 5 stars if I had been called or received a text on morning of delivery to say whether it would be morning or afternoon. In the end I called the office to find out. A very pleasant and helpful telephone service.
The Office I dealt with in Exeter were very helpful and answered any questions I had about delivery. The delivery driver was very helpful and put the fence panels exactly where I wanted them.
