Hello All

I've just been reading the comments on the Screwfix website concerning late 
delivery of items and referring to "competitors" to their organisation. I 
have used Screwfix as main suppliers for my DIY efforts ever since they had 
a couple of column inches for screws only in the Daily Herald (and others) 
with few problems, though I've always been slightly annoyed by their 
promises of next day delivery which have seldom been honoured and sometimes 
I've found their gear cheaper elsewhere (after the event). Anyway, on to the 
question, can anyone supply me with the names of these "competitors" as I 
would like to try a few comparisons. Perhaps I've been feeding the wrong 
words into my search engine but I can't come up with any alternatives.

Thanks for any assistance

Pilgarlick

I seem to remember reading the B&Q have bought Screwfix and the original 
founder has now started Toolstation.
