B&Q Going Going Gone......

Kel_3

Got to B&Q just before 7 this morning and there was a massie queue of about 3 people!!!:rolleyes: (although more people did appear from their cars when they opened the doors)

I got the decking we needed (50 lengths) and then grabbed a trampoline. My mum was looking after the trampoline while I went to get a trolley and a member of staff tried to nab it from her (she wasn't having any of it though:D )

Gad I got there early as there wasn't 'that' much decking. Reckon I took about 1/10th of it. Think all the trampolines have gone.

Lisburn had plenty of everything as of 8am.

Still had 9 sheds left at MK at 8-30 as they had put the wrong ones out at the front and all the sheds were at the back.
Trampolines were still there as they had only box 2 of 2's and no box 1 of 2's

Went to Aylesbury this morning at 7am.
Was a bit manic there, and the poor guy getting all the sheds and trampolines did his back in.
They only had 5 sheds unpacked, however they were saying they had 25 in the morning delivery, and as i was paying someone was saying they had about 50 left as they'd had another delivery.
Paid my £20 delivery charge, so for £70 got a shed, which a bloody good deal!
Thanks Sugarhunny for alerting me!

did anyone manage to get any vinyl flooring from anywhere queued this morning and Newport South Wales had none and I was second in the queue and there was a sign showing sold out before it even opened

Ordered my shed and decking this morning and paid my £20 delivery charge, total bill £110. Just remembered I have a trade account from a while back and seem to remember there used to be free delivery above a certain value. Can anyone advise, I can't find a reference on the B&Q website?

I'm pretty sure its only £35/£40 for free delivery.
I've just looked at the trade website www.trade.co.uk but there's no reference to it.
I suggest phoning the store and ask to be put through to the trade desk and they will verify the amount for you.

Fair comment. Rang up store I bought them from and it's £400 as for retail orders. Checked with the store I took out the trade account with and it's £50 because they are a Warehouse. Never mind still a bargain and I went to the the smaller store because it was on the way into work and I thought there was more likely to be stock left. (Sheds now gone at B&Q Bamber Bridge but still got some decking as of a few minutes ago)

I have just been to the York - Hull Road / Osbaldwick
store.

They have no sheds, nor any signs about the sheds. So they probably didn't have any.


They have 9 of the £40 trampolines (no enclosure). They have 20-30 of the £100 trampolines with enclosure.

They have about 140-150 2m deckboards. However, these are not the usual B&Q deckboards. They have a completely different pattern in the groves and look a lot greener than usual. The staff had also left a notice on one side of the package saying do not open until the promotion starts. So this is not regular clearance stock from the store. These have been brought in specially for this "clearance" promotion. TBH they do not look as good quality as their regular boards and I'm not sure if they have been treated as normal or just quick dipped, although at £1 per metre they are probably a good buy. Chances are they will not have any more, so buy enough for your job. They will also not blend in with an existing B&Q deck as they are different pattern / colour / finish, so only of any use if they are to go away from an existing deck.

Edit - the regular 2m, 3m and 4m boards are not discounted, neither is any of the wood you will need for bearers / joists.
