Who's the fool? Screwfix or me? I looked for a particular product and found it on their website. I checked availability and saw that it was available over the counter at every one of their Northern Ireland stores. So I went to the handiest, Lisburn, only to be told that not only did they not have the item but it was not in any of our stores here. She almost gleefully told me it would have to be ordered in from the mainland! So I was the fool for believing their website. But screwfix are the ultimate fools as they have needlessly created a non-customer with a highly negative view.

I have to agree with you about this company. Today I came across Gorilla Glue which is manufactured in America and is a class A product.
I checked Screwfix for availability and price. £14..99 inc vat. for a 250ml bottle. For piece of mind decided to check EBay. To my surprise EBay companies are selling the exact product and size for £7.79.
I stopped shopping with Screwfix recently after I phoned them to ask if they would do a price comparison. I was in the market for a Evolution Rage 3 Double Bevel Saw. Amazon are asking £240.00_Screwfix want £320.00_I can buy this unit from a reputable company on EBay at the cost of £167.00. Why people shop with this company is beyond me. All they are doing is ripping the public off. I`m not surprised they can sponsor the English Nation Football Team. No more business from me.
