Delivered within the three working days as advertised, with the driver finding our obscure address and carrying the heavy marine plywood sheets single-handedly to our courtyard. Nothing but praise!

Excellent service
Excellent service. If ordering online they call to let you know when items will be delivered. Fairly competitive pricing overall and not having to pay for delivery is what usually gets the order as I bought recently 2 off 3.6m 150X150 sawn treated from another local supplier and they charged £18 to deliver them !

Brilliant service
Needed some paving slabs. Ordered online & took advantage of 10% discount at weekend. Items delivered within 48 hours. Branch contacted me about delivery dates & driver contacted me about delivery location, we live in the country so size of delivery vehicle a consideration. Absoulutely brilliant service & very happy with price. Wouldn't use anybody else for building/landscaping supplies.

Item competitively priced and available locally. When I collected, not in original box and no box ready unless I waited for someone to go and find it. No excuse. If its new then it should be in original box.

First Order
Having recently moved to the area I went into the store and was met by friendly, professional, knowledgeable staff. I have since placed an order, received the materials. The driver was very helpful, placed the materials exactly where I asked. Pleasure to do business with Bradfords, Axminster.
