Living and working on the Isle of Wight we are somewhat limited with Trade Suppliers, so I have a "Trade Point" Account with our local B & Q , this can be handy picking up items after other suppliers have closed evenings and weekends.
They also advertised that orders over £50 would be delivered free, Trade Point have now changed this policy if one contacts the Local Tradepoint direct , orders over £250 delivery are free,
anything under that is liable to a £20 delivery charge
but if one contacts Tradepoint main telephone number Orders over £40 will be delivered free of charge by the next day,
The Tradepoint main Depot is in Southampton, which means the items have to come over on the Ferry loaded onto a lorry and delivered free, yet there would be a charge if it is brought from the local store put on a local lorry and transported a couple of miles.
Other than making the Local Driver and mate redundant, I cannot see the logic in this policy, maybe someone could help me see what the thinking of "Men in grey suits" is regarding this Delivery scenario
