Yes they are cheeky. I really had to fight to get decent rates from jewson, it's handy for me as there behind my house, other than that its a 10 mile round trip to wickes if they can be bothered to open on time, or a 14 mile round trip to tradepoint that has its carpark on a hill were you dick about trying to get the gear in the van without your trolley or any elses trolley hitting the van. Ballache.

Travis perkins is expensive, i have to phone one of the guys in my local keyline to send through an order for what i want so i get it cheaper. Same company but massive difference in price. Only found out keyline could do this when i told one of the guys they charged me £30 for a dust sheet just so i could cover a car which was parked a bit close to where we were stripping render.

On my Travis account I pay £3.40 for a bag of bonding, £3.20 for a sheet of 6x3 board, £4 for skim.

You have to get your price terms set up, they where a rip off before I had my account mind

£3.40 for a bag of bonding?

You could buy it and sell it on for a profit at that price.

I pay 58 pence for 2.4 m thin coats, £4.60 inc vat for multi.... Stick to small merchants, there more competitive and need your custom more than travis! I had a cash account at travis n used it once, still bombarded with e mails telling me to come back lol.

Small merchants like who spreadingpink?

Minster have royally screwed me over today, cost me a days wages, only been using them for 9 months but they don't care about the small guys, lying tw@ts

Buildbase have good customer service, but don't stock much & are usually in the other direction.

It looks like it will be SI, I'm not sure of any small merchants round here where my trade would be valued

I use Selco's a lot 3.90 plus vat bag of multi. 8x4 boards 4.50. fireline 5.60 plus vat. But dont ask for 4 or 5 pallets or they start crying, as they are loss leaders to get you to buy other stuff.

I never use them anymore, nothing is priced up, not even guide prices like Selco do. For me it's Selco, tradepoint, Wickes all pretty close to me and all are upfront with their pricing.
