Reviews of Cambabest Builders Merchants

M. K.

Cheapest and best place around. Service is great and they always have everything you want. Massive selection with kitchen and bathroom showroom upstairs. Their kitchens and bathrooms are a bit pricey but they are the best quality around. 10/10

N. Y.

Cheap material but many lines compromised in quality. Service from management is abmissal you call them to ask a question and your told to just come down which defeats the purpose of calling to ask the question in the first place, if you challenge this your told they don't have the time to talk but don't have any regard about the time it will take you to travel to them and back home with the potential time you will waste as a customer. Through experience with the guys at Cambabest on a big project I started It was apparent the staff themselves were decent it was the owners that had a poor attitude and no time to speak to the customers if I knew this before I would have taken my money somewhere else. I want to be fair so 3 stars solely for the competative price given for the bricks and blocks which were of a good quality.

P. O.

five stars for today's delivery to Bilston. driver full of professionalism. best prices and building merchant in the Midlands

U. A.

Pros: I purchased all plumbing material from them including a combi boiler. In my opinion they charge reasonable prices and the staff are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Cons: 1) Delivery times are a joke. 2) Be ready to wait in a long queue! 3) If you are returning material, don't be shocked if they charge you for an admin fee

I. U.

These guys are the absolute best, amazing prices, always got stock and friendly service. Just don't expect to be the only one being served at one time, if you want big brand service, you'll pay big brand prices!

A. T.

The secret of all the local builders! I came across them trying to source materials that nobody else stocked for a major project. They deliver and their prices can't be beaten, believe me, I've tried!

H. L.

Excellent service, superb prices, they always have stock, can't recommend them highly enough.

C. S.

Wide variety of building materials. They have to deal with a lot of customers but is supported by a good number of staff. It's not bnq/Wickes standard but for an independent store, they're good enough! They also have their bathroom department next door.

A. T.

The builders merchants for builders. Nothing fancy, just great prices, always have stock when others may not, can't fault them!

H. H.

It's a busy yard, you can get all most all your DIY materials

h. a.

The guys here are so busy they can not give the customer any time or help. They seem to be in a rush to get you out and serve the next customer. Not very good in assisting you and showing you around to pick the best options. However they do have pretty much everything you will need. The price and quality is very good. Delivery was on schedule

M. A.

Have used these guys for about 10 months and have atleast 15-20 deliveries. Delivery was always on time (most the time the first day out of the 2 days i was told) A couple of times items have been missed but they have always sorted the issue out and redelivered items the following day. Prices are very good compared to most other shops. I usually go to Barry or Sam who are very helpful, but then again most of their staff are helpful and know what your talking about. Only issue is sometimes u have to wait around for the staff who work at the yard. (Many times they are miserable lol) but delivery has always been spot on.

o. a.

There is no point getting upset on this lads get your invoice ready when receiving goods so you check with the driver. If not delivered walk in and solve with the manager. (PHONE CALL DON'T SOLVE THIS ISSUE) I NEVER HAD PROBLEM MY 4TH YEAR DEALING WITH THEM

M. A.

Thank you for your help and advice when bought boiler customer service were well informed and helpful

s. A.

U have to wait so long and you have to help yourself bo one cares

J. B.

I had a issue with part exchange which resolved by the gentleman very humble on last counter happy with it saved my time and money 😀

B. M.

After ordering a large quantity of building materials online from another company on the 14th April, on the emailed receipt of purchase it said phone for a delivery date. Well it took me 2 days to get through to them only to be told that the earliest they could deliver was 10th May!!!! Almost a 4 week wait. A friend of mine suggested I give Cambabest a ring. I’d never heard of them before but after a few E mails to Sam I was quoted almost £100 cheaper for the same materials, and delivery within 3 days. Couldn’t believe it so I cancelled the first order and went ahead and re ordered with Cambabest. Then I read the reviews. And seriously thought I was going to have a load of problems. How wrong was I. Materials turned up exactly when stated, everything there, ( 1 bag of cement was split but you expect things like that to happen) and I had an extra £98 in my back pocket. The delivery driver was very friendly and stacked everything tidy on the driveway. Would highly recommend Cambabest and will defiantly use them again.

W. H.

The prices are OK but the delivery timings are really bad. They told me a week to deliver but it took w weeks to deliver my stuff. Everyday when I called them they said it will be today. But they delayed it by a week.

C. C.

This is an old established, has grown over the years. They sell kitchens to bathrooms to timber; all in one place. Its a very good place to purchase what you require, however, they are a bit on the expensive side. Definitely worth a visit. Recommended.

M. S.

Still the best place for all building material needs. Beware they are always extremely busy. But some good staff

n. m.

Best place for material very good prices and service

E. B.

Placed a very large order (2 trucks needed!) mid lockdown and although I had to wait for some items they delivered promptly and I found the customer service very good (thanks Indi for your help) They were the best price overall for slabs, sand, concrete etc too.

F. L. C.

Considering some of the other reviews I did have a pleasant experience with cambabest as my first visit on recommendation from Midlands Refrigeration. 1 star knocked off for the unnecessary wait but overall a great place with most materials under 1 roof. Will be back again.

U. J.

I honestly don't get some peoples reviews here.... £10 delivery charge is always there its not going to drivers pockets or something... they always tell u £10 delivery charge must be applied... and yeah they deliveries is between 2 days.. so it could be anytime in those two days unless they don't have something of your order in stock .... than it will take longer... no point crying here... lads doing they best to help if u communicate with them right be nice they will be nice and helpful as well... all the best :)

B. K.

Although we have had many issues with our order and bad customer service over the phone, today I spoke to Mohammed and he did exactly what he said he would do. He said he needed to check if my order was on its way and he would call me back, I didn't hold out any hope for a call back (other employees never return calls) and he called me back within 5 minutes. They need more staff like Mohammed who actually do what they say they are going to do. Kudos to Mohammed and I hope my delivery turns up! UPDATE - the delivery arrived - YIPEE!

G. R.

Number 1 Place for all your materials. Will not be beaten on price.

P. K.

Would recommend to family and friends as received the very good customer service from them .

h. k.

Great staff and helpful lads. Although not very well kept but if you know what you want to buy its quick.

v. k.

Very good bulider merchants. You can buy all tape of buliding materials here. Bricks, blocks, tiles, for garden, plumbing, electrical etc.

f. I.

Service is too slow and the workers that are in the yard seem drunk and lost lol. But prices are very good and the quality is good just the service is not

A. G.

Great place everything you need

S. H.

Top of the game. Best in the business

P. T.

absolutely everything you need for the building trade, private and trade can shop here at trade prices, can not beat prices. even carried the goods to my van.

A. S.

Extremely busy builders merchants but they stock everything. Whenever I use the trade counter other customers push infront and even when u dispute they are seved which is unfair- and they need more staff on the counters to reduce queues.... apart from that I cannot really fault them. Competitive prices for quality.

H. H.

Went to the Cambabest showroom to purchase a bathroom first time ever! The lady Helen was ever so helpful and gave me so much advice. I would definatley recommend visiting the showroom for a good quality bathroom. Went to a few places but the help and advice from this place was good! Overall great experience.

A. M.

All DIY building materials available Good customer services Deliveries on time Need to help the customer more Very busy just to take the orders but not trying to help the customer with his required

K. W. y. h.

One of the best building merchants in Brum!reasonable prices, negative reviews on here are mostly from competitors who wish that they're on the same level as cambabest!, all I say to those who are reading the reviews in here and haven't been to cambabest I have no affiliation and just a customer please pay it a visit and you'll realise what I'm talking about. 1st class and a true example for other building merchants to follow!

K. K. (.

Good lads on yard quick tipping

A. S.

Overly busy place so go here if you don't mind waiting for 5 to 15 mins to be served. The staff are good and very helpful, prices are OK.

Z. J.

Needed some 6x2 wood for a front door frame. Very reasonable prices. Be warned... Extremely busy place.

A. R.

Very good Service. very good price. All the time we buy from them.

M. K.

They have the best prices for building materials. £10 for next day delivery

g. m.

I haven't used Cambabest for a while now due to ill health and I wouldn't say I was their most valued customer, but, for probably 30 years myself and my brother have used Cambabest from when they were a much smaller concern. They have not been able to achieve this success through mismanagement of the business. They trade from low margins without neglecting quality, and when I compare prices, and I don't know why, Cambabest always come in below all their competitors or price match. I felt compelled to write this when I viewed some comments while looking to get price for some fencing. Look forward to doing business soon.

J. V.

Kelly and Sam helped me today, my chippys are in tomorrow, I’m injured after falling off the works ladder, they made sure my wood delivery was on site today, I can honestly say they are by far the best value for money, Kay behind the counter knows he’s stuff also...We are all the same people, this firm is very worthy of a try..Justin Four Oaks Builders, 26 years experience, so I should know!!!thankyou Kelly of Camberbest..

C. H.

Great customer service had our delivery in a hour would recommend to anyone

A. N.

Service is very disorganised.When I'm there I feel like I'm in a bazaar in India .. But you cannot beat the prices..they are the cheapest around so you take the bad with the good
