Decking wood was below standard
Decking wood was below standard, cross cutted at an angle, and the moulding profiles was not very good. Had to mix the boards up so customer was happy with the job, not sure if I’ll be using you again till I personally check stock quality and that your stock quantity’s are correct as the website and your yard had inconsistent amounts

Depot stock doesn’t match website
Ordered skirting board from the website, ordering according to the sizes available at the local branch, travelled to the branch and only short sizes were available, had to cancel for a refund (which apparently takes up to a week).

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).
