pornking69 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Needed 4 tins of Tourmallard Green spray paint so checked on Halfords website, they said that my nearest Halfords in Gloucester (20 miles) was out of stock but they had ample amount in Stroud. I ordered 4 tins for pickup which was accepted then set out on my journey to get them. To my surprise when i arrived at the store in Stroud i was handed 1 dented tin of what i asked for and another in tourmaline green which is not, after kicking off big time the manager came down and said: "Meh, it happens" Obviously feeling the urge to poke him in the eye, i left. I then travelled to Malvern's Halfords (hour and a half away) and they had 3 in stock, well wasn't that just peachy!! Got half way home and my tyre blew up on one of the wheels i bought YESTERDAY! so i jacked it up and dug out the spare wheel that i had never used since buying the car 6 months ago, only to find.......... It did not fit, so limped home with a flattie Thankyou Halfords for making my day so special
hicksy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Im affriad to say i work for halfords.If i had taken yor web order at my store id have phoned you to tell you we were out of stock, if i didnt my manager would rape me.Not all halfords stores are like that and the manager should have offered to order you some cans from HO

danposs86 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Halfords isn't the only place that sells paint I don't mind Halfords, like it when they have deals on car cleaning stuff, bulbs and their tools aint too bad either.

Thats not fair, i know stores can be annoying people, but the store i work in isnt like that(im not sticking up for halfords either because i dont like the company) Ive phoned other stores before and never had an answer. In our store if we dont answer the phone within 4-5 rings we get our ass kicked guess you never ring people then cheeky bugger Edited March 15, 2009 by hicksy
robbie Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 the tools are good some of the staff are only working there becasue tescos wouldnt take them on lol a couple of halford stores i have been in have been helpful always gone away happy with there products just not there service
hicksy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 i needed it for the colour match, is there anywhere else that does it? (cheap) lol Dont get colour matches from halfords either, the paint on the shelves is only one shade of a colour, like amparo blue, they only stock one shade but ford made loads of different shades
