False Advertising - False Discount Percentages

A promotion was advertised for an in store sale of up to 75% off on 13th April 2024. 20% off was offered on colourbond fencing products however when trying to make a purchase it was evident that only 7.75% discount was actually being honoured rather than the 20% advertised. If you shopped here on 13th April check your dockets and make sure you actually received the advertised discount correctly. If anybody else has had a similar issue regarding this sale on 13th April 2024 with this item or any other item please consider raising your concerns with Stratco in writing to a given email address, and then elevating to the ACCC if necessary. You will need to call Stratco to get the email address for a customer service manager. I can't share it here.

Phone orders

Wanted to do a phone order with someone else picking it up for me. Staff on the phone were very helpful and made the purchase easy and hassle free. Would highly recommend using phone order if you need to.

Less than one star

Less than one star. Absolutely poor service. We’ve been waiting more than 18 months now for repair to poor product and installation and continue to be fobbed off. We would never recommend this company or product.

Paid a deposit for a deck and patio roof at the end of October and was told 2 weeks for engineering. Waited and waited for it to come through. Followed up to be told the engineer was on leave and we could expect engineering by mid to end of December. When that did not happen we followed up again to be told end of January. we got an email at the end of January of the sketch that was drawn on the day we paid the deposit. By that time some of the funds we had for the project had gone. We asked for a refund only to be told we had to pay $500 for what seems to be the privilege of being messed around for 3 months. With in my opinion nothing from engineering.
Poor form

Purchased your handi heritage shed a few weeks ago. Only part of the shed arrived, and some wrong parts delivered. Online videos don't show the finer details needed to erect the shed. Tek screws supplied are not sufficient in length to do the job. Gutter mounts not designed fir corrugated colourbond sheets. The list goes on.
Poorly designed and engineered sheds. Not worth the money you pay for them. Extremely disappointed in the product and service. Never again will I purchase your products.

Process was very smooth and the shed was straight forward to put together ( easy for 2 people). Took about 4-5 Hours to complete . Watch the Video on Youtube BEFORE you start to build :)
