Just had an e mail from Screwfix "Free Delivery on Orders Over £10". No
doubt they are loosing out to Toolstation.

However, if you follow the link on the e mail it gets very confusing

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/hlp/...ry&source=aw#1

Can anyone understand that?

I've e mailed SF to clarify.

They usually give you a promotion code to put in at the checkout for the
free delivery.
The delivery grid you linked to looks fine to me.

Seems crystal clear to me Dave.
They are are just running a offer for a few days to see if it make a
difference. SF will still be dearer and whilst offering a wider range,
some of their stuff is now only available in multiple packs.

Long Live Toolstation!

It's just a short-term offer - the table details the usual rates.

I must now that I've moved out of the city into the sticks I can no
longer just pop in to Screwfix/Toolstation and don't always want to
spend B&Q prices so the standard free delivery (£10) at Toolstation
is shifting more of my business over to them so hopefully Screwfix
might eventually follow suit.

Yes I know but I would presume it was an email only invitation where you
were given the code that's why it wouldn't be visible to Joe public?

I've just signed up for a Toolstation account, giving a mobile phone number is mandatory!
Website probably designed by a youngster who cannot conceive of the concept of not owning
a mobile phone. The form field accepts the landline number though.

No code. Seems like a general offer.

?er yes ? the emailed link (that takes you to the usual table) was
provided by TMH - no mention of codes...

I thought that was his point?

I've not put a real number on that sort of form for years!
and yes I don't use a mobile either other than an emergency.

Some sites will accept a string of zeroes. If they have my email
address, they don't need my phone number, as well.

I went into toolstation today to pick up a couple of bits for a job
today and was talking to the chap about the TS-SF war and the short term
£10 offer from SF.
He said if they don't have any item of whatever value in stock at the
counter, they will get it sent to any address post free - next day
provided the central warehouse has stock.

Screwfix used to do that too, but presumably it was costing too much
as they've not offered it for quite some time around here.

I think the issue of stock is my biggest gripe with Screwfix - they
always seem to be missing at least one thing I'm after, and typically
it's the most important item the rest being just odds and sods! At
least with Toolstation you can easily check their store stock levels
online in advance to avoid disappointment or a wasted trip.

One way round this for me has been to use the Call & Collect service
that Screwfix offer - ring the order through, pay over the phone, and
it's available after 15mins. Of course with such a short lead time
that's not going to help the immediate stock issue but I tend to call
a day or so in advance so they're then able to get everything in stock
and I can just drop by knowing I'll be able to pick it all up.
