I have a good rapport with Travis and my local timber merchants who are called Covers...
When I had worked out the cutting list of the timber for my tortoise table I decided to head to travis and covers to get a price. They could not get anywhere near the prices of B&Q or Wickes... not even close.
Even with every discount under the sun they were soooo way out... What is the point of them being timber merchants if they are not even competitive with the high street DIY shops?
Found a few things in B&Q that were cheaper than in screwfix and its the same branded stuff. I am beginning to think that the likes of screwfix have been giving the impression they are cheap for that long that they are now slowly increasing their prices hoping people wont notice.
