Totally agree! They own Wickes and Toolstation who are more competitive esp toolstation.
I was in there a few months back wanting a 1 tonne bag of ballast. They looked up my address on streetview and asked me to point out the house (we have names not numbers) which I thought was to help the driver locate us.
As soon as they spotted overhead powerlines, they refused to deliver point blank. They claimed their drivers were not insured to deliver with a hiab crane anywhere with over head lines even telephone ones.
I went to the other local BM - an independent known to be dearer but the bag was a couple of quid more but no delivery issues. I watched the guy operate the hiab. He put the boom out horizontally and parallel to the road with the bag behind the tail of the wagon and easily swung it round onto our driveway well under the height of the power lines anyway.
