Do B&Q Deliver?

[Jim]

Any idea if B&Q Warehouse deliver.

Looking to buy a shed (not avaliable online), but cant find out from the website if stores deliver!

Anyone got any experience?

[Chris Bacon]

ISTR they do, but it *costs*. I won't dwell on the quality of B&Q (et al) sheds I've seen. Why not make one?

[Rob Morley]

You could always phone them and ask.

[John Cartmell]

Yes. Not cheap, not quick and, if there is anything wrong with the article it takes as long for them to arrange to pick it up. Don't sign for delivery until you have checked the item carefully.

[John Cartmell]

The shed I made (using shiplap) is better quality than the one I made up from pre-formed parts which is better than the B & Q sheds.

I'm sure the driver will hang about for an hour whilst he checks out the shed parts. :-(

B&Q used to deliver free if you opened a Trade Account and spent more than =A350. I'm not sure if they still do.

i.e

Available in-store only Product is only available from your local B&Q store. Ranges may vary so please check before travelling.

You can return unwanted goods to any B&Q store. Please take the Sales Invoice received with your order and let the in-store customer service staff know that you ordered the goods from

and they will process your refund immediately.

Makes no difference whether ordered on-line or in the warehouse the prices they quote are there.

That's what will happen if he delivers here. Buy a (not-cheap) radiator and find it damaged - "Yes sir, our delivery people will contact you in 3-5 days to arrange to pick it up. When we receive it here then we will send out a replacement." Note that they didn't promise to collect it in 3-5 days - it would take that long to think about asking about when to collect it!

The driver will wait for as long as it takes.

The one I use has a map with circles at various distances/costs, but the cost is prohibitive :-(

Funnily, I had kitchen cupboard doors from B&Q delivered - they were order only. And the driver checked the delivery against the order very thoroughly. Went through each and every one to make sure it was as ordered. I was impressed. Possibly he was a factory, rather than store, delivery driver.

[chris French]

But the delivery prices quoted on the web site are for items ordered online.

Delivery from a store is different

[Mike Dodd]

Yes, and unless you're next door, the cost will be around £20. I *had* to use these to get some worktops delivered.

...and again, the week later after I snapped one of the worktops.

Delivery is fine, and they'll manhandle the items to where you need them. On both occasions delivery was early morning (suited me fine).

Re. sheds and DIY, I'll go along with an earlier poster - head down to a timber merchant and buy a load of shiplap - I spent about £200 on scant and 16mm thick shiplap, and together with a few sheets of stirling board crafted a bloody good shed.

Quite fun, too.

Infinitely better than the crap feather-edge s**te that the likes of B&Q often sell

And you can prove this?

I have a note on the back of a Garage Doors brochure,written by a lady at the service desk at my local Warehouse - "Delivery. Free for store orders over £400, otherwise £20".

However, I believe that the £20 charge might apply for delivery over "x" miles regardless of order value.

I don't suppose anyone here will be interested in the "15% OFF all items IN_STORE" which runs from today until Sunday pm, so I will not mention it.

It's £20 delivery if you're inside the delivery boundary for the store, free if you spend over £400.

Or £50 if outside the area and £30 if you spend over £400. I know cause i happen to work for them :)

Thank goodness I have 3 cheaper sheds to go to in my location. To this day I can honestly say I've never stepped foot in a B&Q store.

I can't believe anyone would use B&Q for delivering anything. Recent experience showed It was actually cheaper to buy proper BS1088 marine ply and have it delivered from a supplier 250 miles away (securely wrapped in two free sheets of hardboard) than have WBP delivered 16 miles from B&Q (undoubtedly just chucked in the back of a van)
