Well half the site buy from screwfix then? :24:

Not this Bloody half Mike, im mainly Electric center , edmundson, and yess, i couldnt see electric center on list so didn't vote.
 
Never use Rexel Senate or WF Senate as its called now in Kendal, Cumbria. Miserable staff, poor service and over charging.
 
I use Edwardes Bros, Penge, South London, I (reluctantly) send clients to TLCs' website to choose stuff. Edwardes have updated their site but it's still pants! Maybe they haven't finished it yet?
 
  • Screwfix = pants never have what contractor needs, just seem to cater for DIY bob with parts & advice.
  • Electrifix= ok if its a larger store, if not odds on you'll be waiting for next day delivery at the store.
  • CEF= cant make their minds up what they should charge from one week to the next.
  • Yessss= don't care so long as they beat CEF prices (gave up with them as they ****ed up one order to many)
  • Neweys = Ok but seem to favor the larger contractors (unless you know the manager:wink_smile: )
  • Wilts = are ok
  • Eyre& Elliston= are my preferred supplier, free delivery what ever the order, unless it's a way out item most bits are in stock.
  • Medlock = I found some items are pricey but build is on the cheap side.On the plus side they do deliver FOC & most items are in stock.
 
I ticked local independent but it's Devondale Electrical Distributors Ltd, based in Exeter but all over the Southwest we use Glastonbury branch unrivaled service, here about and good prices too.

Ah...the big fat one pee'd me off over something once in there, and I've taken my business back over the way!!
 
I'd followed Dan's advice and was able to vote, but seems now that it was indeed Marvo's work in the background that also worked the magic! Thanks both!
 
Use TLC (Southern) the most - they have good range, easy website ordering, fast delivery (usually free) to either base or site, and you know what the prices are going to be. Can make a trip to a branch if really urgent.
CEF have an extensive range but the prices you will be charged are total guesswork (because unknown and significant discounts can often be applied). If you used base catalogue prices to estimate and plan a job you'd be out of business really fast.
ElectricFix are good for urgent needs, even though their prices are not that wonderful.
CPC offer a very fast online service and prices are good, especially if you order using the codes in their monthly trade brochures.
Sometimes even B&Q comes up tops for general electrical supplies, conduit, trunking, etc. in an emergency, although obviously there's nothing much specialist there!
 
Being out in the sticks I mostly use the online supplier Shop4Electrical who are excellent for value and service.
They're pretty big but they're not in your list.

I forgot about Shop4Electrical (as not on list) - agree that the value and service are indeed excellent! Would vote for them if hadn't already voted...
 
Is it just me or is it a sign of the times where the majority of members on an electrical forum are using DIY sheds like Screwfix and TLC almost exclusively?

I use them occasionally, but my account is with YESSS and the bulk of my purchasing goes through them.
I agree, It's a bit rough that so many people are using getscrewedfix. I always get better prices at The Electric Centre. Even YESS can't touch em. I'm also surprised that so many use CEF, when there are so many complaints!
