Typical Builders/Mass stores:- disinterested floor staff that feel they are doing the customer a favour. Cashiers are friendly and efficient

In store staff very helpful. Outside, parking bays designated for the disabled, was an LPG truck, offloading gas bottles. Totally inconsiderate of needs of disabled/ wheelchair bound customers. Re paint deliveries over the disabled sign, n stop bul....ing the public. also

A good hardware shop that is within a community, with not only an impressive in store range, but with the wider facility of being able to order online from the major site and then pick up.

Twice I went there and twice I walked out empty-handed. I found their selection pretty limited and ill-chosen. I say that because I found the product I was looking for, a 5m HDMI cable at PicknPay. On the other occasion I was looking for a electrical extension cord and found their selection pretty limited - again I had to go to another store to find what I was looking for. Management of a scaled down version of a large store is much more challenging - the manager has to determine the product line width and stock levels to try and keep as many customers as possible happy - a happy customer will return. Too often one sees an oversupply of one particular product at the expense of alternative products. This is what requires analysis and implementation. In my case I was disappointed not once but twice, and as the saying goes: Once bitten, twice shy...

Great place for all those things you need around the home. The only issue is that it’s not a full Builders Warehouse and so they don’t always have the full range of stock and I have to go to Boksburg for some things.

Okay... Just okay, staff are there for a job, there youth and lack of product knowledge lets them down. Just like going to a supermarket and hoping you get what you need. Could be better for sure.

Review №22

Incompetent, lazy staff (When you can locate them) who have no knowledge of the products in their own departments. Staff duck and dive any real work and pass the buck at every opportunity. The shelves are as empty as the heads of some of the staff members. I will not use this store again. P.s The demise of the Builders group is extremely sad. Thank goodness we still have other options.

Builders staff have a reputation for doing as little as possible, this branch is absolutely no exception.The information clerk staff are always playing on their cell phones, the shelves are half packed, nobody is will willing assist you.Management arent present and certainly dont manage anything.

Review №32

Hi thereHate to complain, but got there and it took three people to call other people to help us. When we chose the lighting fixture we liked which was hanging on the display, the salesman said it was out of stock...then why have it on display, he said it had been out of stock for months. Then we chose another one and he said there might be one in the back because there wasnt one on the shelf, after waiting a long while nobody came back....so we just left. We then went to the one in Boksburg and they were also out of stock but managed to locate one in another shop which I will only be able to get on Saturday. Hope its there when we get there...

Absolute joke! Bought wood from builders, had it cut paid for it to be cut. I brought it back for a trim( all to happy to pay for it)It took them 48 min to tell me the would not cut it without a slip🤷‍♂️. Not only was I unable to spend my money there but I definitely wont be there soon, worst customer service .

So glad that this little hardware store opened nearby me, but they don’t stock everything the larger Builders do; which is clear by the name.The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and it can really take two minutes to get in an out if you know what you want and your kids aren’t with you.At the exit is a popcorn machine which works on weekends, but having it at the exit is different to the Builders in Boksburg where they serve you at the entrance for free and this makes you feel relaxed and free to wonder the isles and really take you time in the store, perhaps to buy more than you first expected you would. So having this at the exit doesn’t seem to serve any purpose except to keep the floors clean from curious buyers reading labels and purchasing unnecessary goods.I might be wrong - perhaps it has changed now to serving free popcorn at the entrance - I sincerely hope so because that’s the smartest place to do this.

Had a good start and now they are just as bad as all the other Builders outlets. 3 staff members walked pass the electrical section where I was waiting for someone to cut a piece of electrical wire. All 3 acknowledged I was waiting and they all just said WE DONT WORK IN THIS SECTION!Well you can fire the lot cause clearly they dont want to work! You wont see me again!
