I raised a concern (not complaint) about one of the delivery drivers. what a polite and helpful reply to the 'phone. the gentleman respectfully listened, apologized quickly and assured me he would address my concern. A company I would be very happy to purchase from or work with. thank you

Friendly staff willing to help. Lack of stock but no doubt due to covid at the moment and I'm sure will be back to normal soon.

People inside the Bodmin shop extremely helpful in sorting my order. Men inside the warehouse where I went to collect my order were very rude and unhelpful, very condescending when trying to pick up my order. Got very patronising and blamed me for not following the correct collection procedure considering it was my first time there. Currently renovating my house and was recommended Tamar trading for supplies but wont be using again 👎
