Regular screwfix.com Buyers: Save £5.95 On Small Orders

As a first time DIY self builder (I'm currently building a 2 story extension) I use screwfix.com as a convinient, reliable supplier of building materials and tools all the time, however, I sometimes forget to order that vital item needed to complete a job but am not ready to place a large order for the next lot of materials.

To save paying the Packing & Handling charge of £5.95, for orders under £45.00, I have found that you can bump the order value up by buying gift vouchers.

These vouchers can then be redeemed against your next order - I have not yet tried to buy vouchers with vouchers but assume there will be no problems doing this.

If there are there any other suppliers that you know of to save like this - we do almost all our buying online - please post them below!

Cheers

    yeah screwfix is a nice service there and very easy to order (when they do take orders), although their couriers need to do better!

    As far as I can see the £5.95 Pack & Handle charge is applied for order values under £45.00 and then you can use the tokens as part of the payment screen.

  • I've used https://www.toolstation.com on a number of occasions for small orders, free delivery and usually next day.

    I can confirm that you can use vouchers to buy vouchers and not have to pay the packing and handling charge.
