Easy Peasy
Easy to order the type of gravel I needed on line. Received an acknowledgment immediately. Within suggested delivery timeframe an email was sent with delivery day. I did not need to change this but there is an option to do so if needed. On morning of delivery I was texted with a time frame. Delivery driver was cheerful and helpful. Bish bash bosh- all done. Have used Bradfords before and will keep on doing so. Excellent service.

I ordered on a Tuesday and expected 2-3 delivery time. I filled in the information box that I needed a Thursday are Friday delivery date however I was allocated Monday! No problem obviously delivery's have to be managed, I called Taunton branch and asked for my delivery to be changed to Thursday which I was informed work be changed. However my delivery was made on Monday!! What was the point of filling out the form and also calling if I'm just going to be egnored????

Item never arrived and comms very poor. Had to keep asking where our order was, found it ourselves in another Bradfords shop, collected it and cancelled the original order. Very poor service..

No point doing click and collect
Edit "Thankyou for taking the time to phone and explain why my particular lengths weren't provided. Your customer service for complaints gets the edit."
Did click and collect to make it easier. Received a message saying my order of 3x2.1m lengths of timber were ready,but when I arrived I was presented with 3 x 3.6 lengths and had to cut them to fit in the van myself.

Delivery service time can take 7 days or longer if you don't chase up your order.
I've placed an order of posts ,fence panels,concrete on 23 .06. 26 and expected to be delivered 2/3 working days as it said on the confirmation email order , with no response from them I've sent an email and also went in the nearest store wich is 2 mins walk from home ...eventually I had my delivery on 30.06.26. with four out of ten bags of concrete mix damaged. With all my time wasted this is very disappointing.

Very good driver
Had driver John this morning delivering dumpy bag of pipe bedding to site in Greenway road, Taunton, John is always upbeat, happy and positive, it was a slightly awkward delivery for him, but John was very patient and professional, he enacted the delivery perfectly. We very much appreciate the service received.

Great price, easy to order and delivery of the product. I would have liked an accurate delivery time but they stacked the product nicely so it was not an issue.
