Is everything in the online catalogue on the shelves in Nailsea?
No. The catalogue includes thousands of products we can order in from our suppliers, as well as products we may already have in the shop. Live Nailsea shop stock is not shown online yet, so “Available to order” means the item can be ordered from our supplier, not that it is on our shelves today.
How do I check whether you already have an item in the shop?
Call us on 01275 853368 before you travel. We can check the shelves and tell you whether we have it now or can order it in.
When will my item be ready to collect?
Supplier-order items normally arrive with our weekly delivery. Supplier stock and delivery times can change, so we confirm the expected collection date when we reply to your request, and we tell you if anything changes.
How do I know my reservation has been accepted?
A request is not confirmed until we reply. We will tell you whether the item is available, the price we will charge, and when we expect it to be ready. We contact you again when it is ready to collect.
Do I pay online or in advance?
No. You do not pay anything online or in advance, and there is no charge for reserving or collecting an item. You pay at the counter when you collect, if you decide to buy.
Do I have to buy the item once I have reserved it?
No. A reservation is not a purchase, and you are free to decide not to buy when you see the item. If you change your mind before collection, please let us know so we can offer it to someone else.
Is the online price the same as the price in the shop?
Not always. Online catalogue prices are for items ordered in from our suppliers. The same product on our shelves on the day may have a different price, because we may buy it through a different supplier. The price we confirm in our reply is the price we charge for your reserved item.
How long will you hold my item?
We hold a reserved item for one week after telling you it is ready. After that we may return it to stock or sell it to another customer. Just ask if you need longer.
Where do I collect, and when?
From John Brown Hardware, 90 High Street, Nailsea, Bristol BS48 1AS, during opening hours: Monday–Saturday 08:30–17:00 · Sunday closed.
