B&Q Tradepoint

[user123]

John, dear, you have to go through the cupboard to find it... but once there, untold pleasures await you... a magical kingdom of castles, endless skies and the purest air, wonders never before seen,..... just not in B&Q....

thanks for the feedbacck guys, I have to admit i'm still a little confused. I found the website earlier but still didn't shed (excuse the pun) light on how it works, it's just discounted items then, but only on some lines

 

[user123]

A bit like an Argos for trade, but yes, not everything is discounted...

So are B&Q competing with Screwfix with this? Bit daft with it being the same company really

I guess screwfix are more tool focused and B&Q more material focused

How come Scarborough gets all the little stores??? Hmmpf again....

Scarborugh must be twinned with Kendal :lol:

Dont know about the old tradepoint but the new one is a good thing, i got a bosch fein copy for under £50 when i first opened my account way cheaper than the normal instore price and the local builders merchants, plasterboard is better priced than the local builders merchants as well and a customer saved £15 using my card to buy an already cheap electric shower. I like having a seperate entrance and tills for trade as it tends to be quicker to get in and out, have 3 warehouses all with tradepoint within 10 miles of home and although they get a lot of stick they do come in handy.

you really need to pick up the trade catalogue to see the savings you can get,it is a lot better than than the old system!
and.............they told me they will price match stuff so if you use mapei gear and run out when tile giant is closed you can still get the same prices

 

[strummerman]

trade point is just the same as screw fix all the same stuff

Apart from some stuff though bruv.. like plasterboard...cement .. sand etc etc.. all building products and also the tools side that screwfix sell..

 

[strummerman]

plasterboard etc is far cheaper than the buildind merchants

Someone on here mentioned they doing Big Clinker 600mm cutters for £50 at Tradepoint, should be £100. And they are about £100 everywhere else. Anyone know if these are any good, going opening account on Saturday and havin a look.
