vivienz Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Do you know anyone with a Bradfords trade account? They're still delivering, but not sure what quantities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly ouch, but their prices are usually OK. They have an ebay operation here: http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/Ron-Currie-and-Sons-Ltd which may have a different price structure, but that online shop is currently not operating.

Will over order to about 100 quids worth -delivery £50 . I’ll just do it . Will recoup the extra delivery cost when I sell my walk on glazing ?

Pocster Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 It is me isn’t it ! Can you believe it ! My builders merchants just called me !! Said they plan to open Thursday next week . Though only 3 in the store at a time . I asked him what stock was like , he said not great . I hope everyone is happy that I’ve bought expensive timber and all your BM’s will be open !

Oz07 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm short of all skirting and arc after a cancelled delivery when merchants shut down after coronavirus. I could have got it all somewhere else for 30% extra. Was initially a no brainer. Then I thought why overpay to give myself a few days work when most others are in the same boat. 30% extra of everything to finish a place off adds up.
