Bad Experience

Very bad communications, no updates on delivery date or time after ordering. Website not user friendly. Customer Services only available on email. Depot staff not helpful. Would not use again.

Good Morning Mrs Smart

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.

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.

Fantastic team, fantastic service

I've used Bradfords a few times now and I was one of those really annoying customers today that turned up just before close, luckily they was not that busy at the time. But what a service they always provide , guys in there are like a little family very helpful very polite I just could not fault the team what's so ever lovely people and a pleasure to do business with would use again with out fail and would highly recommend.
I think probably the best service I have received from a builders merchant and good quality timer also.

Very happy with all aspects

Very happy with website, delivery, pricing and timber. Ordering was clear, a phone call from them arranged delivery and the delivery itself great, very helpful guy got 2 pallettes into slightly tricky spot with skill. Good timber, no warping, created a great fence. Recommended
