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?

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.

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.

B&Q used to deliver free if you opened a Trade Account and spent more
than £50. I'm not sure if they still do.

It appears this refers to goods ordered "online"

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 www.diy.com and they will process your
refund immediately.

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.

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.

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 ****e that the likes of B&Q
often sell

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)

Well the 2nd one down is the cheapeast out of the lot and I'm not going to
argue about a couple of quid discount for every £25 spent.
I only go to the handymans store for nails&screws. as its not worth
travelling just for these.

The website (www.diy.com) is ONLY for online ordering & delivery.
It is not a catalogue for what is available in store (something which is
sadly lacking).

Yes, they do deliver (to a certain area anyway).

When we bought a playhouse last year (shed with fancy window and some
very expensive green paint on it) we found a company online who actually
supplied B&Q - they had the same thing but was 140 quid *inc* delivery
instead of the 160 quid *ex* delivery that B&Q wanted. Father in law did
the same.

Name of the company escapes me at the moment...it was fairly easy to find
on the web though

I run a small estate, just so that I can carry bulky items around, which
happens a few times a week. That includes things from the sheds. If that
does not work, I have a 40+ year old trailer which will carry even more.
