I ordered some white oak skirting board from Wickes a few weeks ago.
Wondering where it was, I checked my account to find that it is supposed
to have been delivered. Anyway, I'm fed up of exchanging emails with
nothing happening, and have decided to start looking elsewhere.

The thing is, I have already fitted some white oak architrave I bought
from them. It looks nice, and I want the skirting board to look the
same. If I do get some from somewhere else, will it all be 'basically
the same stuff'? I mean, do Wickes sell stuff specially made for them,
or do they sell the same stuff as everyone else?

They do "badge engineer" some items, but generally it should be
available from other sources. Might be worth seeing if Travis Perkins
have what you need - chances are it will be the same supplier...
