click and collect hiccup
There was hiccup in the click and collect order as part was missing however the staff went out of their way to sort in out even getting the missing item from another store personally for collection the next day so just missed out on the 5 star due to the initial problem but would give them 10 stars for the rectification!

Delivery guy scratched my gate :(
The delivery guy/s scratched my gate with my delivery. It's only a small 40mm scratch, but it's a new gate that my wife spent ages selecting and installing. Just a little bit of care would have avoided this.
The service is usually exceptional. I appreciate them calling me personally to confirm delivery, rather than a SMS that other companies use.

Good Morning Bryan
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I am saddened to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to the damage sustained to your gate.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
I will look into this further, and feed this back to the Branch concerned, to see what caused this to happen.
Kind Regards,
Sam
A professional team
