Comments

  • hi all
    i also have in the past ordered items from screwfix and on one occasion i got some other persons invoice (NOT A YOUNG LADYS INVOICE DAM). i believe errors do happen
    however screwfix is a multi million pound business and should take more care of such data as i have in the past been targeted by fraudsters. i did not mention this to scewfix at the time but wish i did now as i am sure this has been happening for a long time and nothing has been done about it (proberly not on there priority list.

    YEs i am very sure this was upsetting and inconvinent for you But the amount of parcels that screwfix put out evry day is staggering whats more sttagering is the amount of mistakes they dont make. All companys have a target and that target is never 100%.
    It wasnt screwfixe the companys fault it was the person who put the label on your parcel's and that person probably had a crappy day as well.
    Also if your worried about data protection you can legally buy the electrol registar that gives you every Name address and amount of people living in your house etc, £300.
    Money's too tight to mention!!!
