Electrifix

[Evans Electric]

Am I correct in thinking that Electrifix only serve Part Peers  or is it an urban myth . ?

 

[Jono Pashley]

Urban myth, but you do have to prove your in the trade in some way tho to get registered

 

[Andy™]

you can only get electricfix / plumbfix if your trade, but if your not just go to the screwfix side and buy what you want. only difference is the electricfix has some items a bit cheaper than the normal screwfix price

I have show them my jib card...

:slap

 

[MeFil]

To open an eletrifix fix account you have to have a scam card or proof of qualifications. Although you can say you're a plumber and they'll open a plumbfix account. Then you can buy all the electrical stuff with the same discounts. Go figure...

^^^you have to be safe gas to buy certain boilery things though.

apparently,

tho the girl at my local one wasnt bothered,

she told me it wasnt her job to be the electric/gas polis, if you are stupid enough to blow yourself up or get electrocuted its not her fault,

I found her quite refreshing tbh, and easy on the eye as well,

I didn't have you down as buying CU's (consumer units) from B&Q, oh well live and learn!!!!

 

[ProDave]

they serve me (and all the other sparks in Scotland) and we all know there's no.........

Wash your mouth out!

As we all know there is only ONE supplier of CUs........and he builds them for you!

 

[Sharpend]

Well that's what I thought, but you mention a poor cu from B&Q? :innocent

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

There is a Screwfix 5 min walk from me & as its open late i use it often. Today i had a big shock, walked in with a list of about  15 items and they had it all, i dont think that has ever happened before.

Went in the other day and bought paint. I noted that the little chit you fill out, at least on the Electricfix counter has no boxes now for your personal details. I'm presuming they were expecting me to hang onto the SIM sized ID card with the bar code they sent me through the post a while back........no idea where that is! Just gave it to the girl at the desk the chit with the stock numbers & my postcode.

Not sure if you have to fill in everything at the front "public" counter as I never go there.........I much prefer the back entrance though as there's less room it can be a bit of a squeeze in they're if busy.

I sometimes then pop across to Toolstation and get a free coffee!

 

[Andy™]

i usually have a list before i get there on a scrap of paper - customer no on top then list of items. staff are happy with that

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Any time I need stuff from Electricfix I always check online first that its in stock...

saves a wasted journey..

and if you then do click & collect its all ready for collection without pratting about waiting for them to sort the bits out....

I've got about 4 Screwfix outlets within a 15min radius of home so its not to hard getting stuff at quite short notice..

plus if you use their trade card you can take any bits back you don't need before you have to pay for them!

Saves carrying so much stuff in stock..

Let screwfix do the stores job... 

I'll just use what I need keeping less clutter in the garage..

Time is money as they say..

and dead stock in the garage isn't earning money either..

(obviously this only as useful as the limited product range that srewfix actually hold..

But if they do have it.. I am happy to make use of the convenience. )

It is comforting to know that the big boys also run out of stock.

Tried to quote Slipshod, but I clearly don't know how to do it.

Any help would be welcome.

The easiest way to quote is to take your cost price and add your mark-up.
