To expensive for DIY'ers
Was on stop for some 75mm * 75mm PSE Redwood timber and did not want to travel 15m to another supplier, so went on the TP website and found what I wanted at the local store which was 1 mile away. I only wanted 2.4m but although the website said it was in stock there was no way to find the prices for any of the various lengths. Rang the store and they confirmed it was in stock but I had to go to the store to get the final price. Went to the store and after much input on the terminal and keys rattling, I was asked if I had an account, which I didn't and the price came back at nearly £28!!, when I said the price was 'a bit heavy', he did say if I had an account he could have done it for £10!! TP is definatley not for the DIY'er. Although I knew they were expensive and had only visited them twice in 20 years, that's it, never to visit them again!! Poor show TP!!
