    I would be more worried that they haven't got the stock. I have ordered lots of things from B&Q and nearly always get the phone call saying they have no stock in store. I suppose the only good thing is they do ring you so you don't have a wasted journey.

    Sometimes !

    just bveen to B&Q scotswood...lots of stuff still in stock but moving fast...managed to get a 12ft trampoline enclosure for £5!!! bargain, also a chiminea for £20 and the starter tent set for £5...I wanted the sleeping bags but none in stock so the guy suggested the set as it has 2 bags included in with it. He also said that they would be ringing round today cancelling most of the 200 reserve and collects they had waiting!!

    Just been back to my local to pick up one of the 4 man starter sets for £30 and 2 padded sun loungers for £10 each. Wish I could thank you twice OP, I'm delighted with my bargains :)
    Dear Lord,
    I pray for wisdom to understand my man, love to forgive him and patience for his moods, because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll beat him to death.:mad: :rotfl: :mad:

    My R&C guy phoned me to say one of my 10 items wasn't there ... I asked him was there anything similar in the sale - he said yes, so he put that by instead. very helpful!

    Xmas Saver!
    SO went to collect the order of Kites that I had done, after already being told that they could not supply all of them.

    Imagine my surprise when going through the till was a member of staff with not one, not two but three identical kites, that were unavailable for me to reserve!
    The next person through the till was another member of staff with a load of things put by, and so was the next!

    When I finally got my order, there was 2 large stacks of stuff behind the tills which other member of staff were adding to.

    Being honest, the staff where helpful and when I pointed out that one of the BBQ's they had was one I wanted did try to find one for me....

    I have no issue with staff being able to reserve things, but when they are taking multiples of one item that is in demand, especially when you never know if they just decided they wanted it whilst picking your order........

    ANyway, went to second B+Q and managed to get the RObson BBQ for £15, even though the sign said £60 odd. THe guy who did the price check was back there getting the last for himself whilst I tried to find a cover for mine...ANd I am fairly sure (will check) I did a reserve nad collect for one and was told it wasn't available, so outright lies!

    One useful thing I did get told, was that the store was having a delivery tonight, so may be more availability in th emorning.

    THanks to OP for letting us know about it all.
