With Christmas coming up and having just experienced some superb customer service from a local trader i thought why not have a "great local shops" thread to aid people spend their money wisely..

So to kick off....David Bury's ....recently bought a washing machine from them which developed a fault...after being messed about slightly by the manufacturers service division David Burys took over and just brought me a brand new machine instead of me having to wait for a repair.
Outstanding service from them.

Out of interest, which manufacturer was it? I only ask, as I'm 'in the trade'.

Bury's are definitely an outstanding local retailer, couldn't agree more.

I’ve purchased a few items from David Bury’s over the years and always received outstanding service, Les sorted me an extended warranty on my Miele washer free of charge. Top service! 👍


Grimsby and proud!

Yeah, David Bury's aren't too bad.

Quite often cheaper than online retailers like AO too, especially with timed slot delivery, install and disposal charges.

It's a very competitive market now with all the online retailers but I like to think that we can offer a more personal service than buying off the internet and as we usually try to get as close as we can to others prices and we're usually cheaper on install/disposal charges anyway.

Now that Manders and Rayners have gone I think that we're the only independent electrical retailer left in the area that sell the full range of both white and brown goods.

I bought a washer from Bury's and agree that they are a good company. Will definitely use them again in the future.

I'm waiting for the one that will say we're not very good.

No matter how many good reviews you get there will always be a few that won't be happy.
