Who in your opinion is the worst merchant and branch you have had dealings with? Mine is Plumb Center, Chippenham, Wiltshire. Should give them an award... The Golden Turd.
 
Plumbcenter slough. Wouldn't let me use the toilet when I had the trots.
 
The definition of a Merchant would be an individual or organisation that had (popular) goods available in stock for sale.

I hardly think P-C fit that description, so on that basic they should be excluded from this thread.
 
Williams n Co didn't get ma jelly babies last order hahaha haha

Joking aside don't like Grahams Nationwide
 
Plumb centre Tottenham. Lazy, arrogant and rude staff. Don't know anything about plumbing products and can't be arsed finding out.
 
I find City Plumbing hard work and try to avoid them now. Never go near Grahams due to high £`s and Like the fact that in Oxford Plumb centre, Build centre, Drain centre etc are all in the same small industrial estate and the guys seem to be ok most of the time.
 
Anyone been to that small independent plumbers merchants in Isleworth run by Indians, went in there a couple of times as it was right next to a job I was doing. The bloke serving makes you find what you want in a toolstation catalogue as he doesn't know the names of fttings.
 
Its annoying when u get a plumb centre and drain centre in the same unit. Buy a few copper bits then ask for a 4" fitting only to be told u need to go to drain centre on the next counter and join that que...Ridiculous!

Wonder if he gets the price to charge you from there to lol

Its always more expensive than the catalogue, wouldn't be surprised if that's where he buys his stock from.
 
Well I must admit the best merchants locally to me is a plumbcenter. It's North Sheilds and the staff are fantastic. I have all my parcels delivered and collected from there I never have an issue and *most prices are awesome. I do treat them civil though and take the odd butty and Xmas tip in

There are 6 other bumbs local and they are pretty much as described

I use Yeovil Plumb Center almost exclusively. The staff are great and very knowledgeable.
