  The two lads on the phones i have dealt with recently have been fantastic. Honest expert advice. Straight forward no faffing about and great prices. Delivery driver was sound as-well. Please say a well done and thank you to your staff from me .

  Didn't have the greatest first experience with MKM North Birmingham. Decided to try out MKM to compare against my local independent builders merchants. I had the preconception that ordering online would be quick, easy, and an overall better experience. Unfortunately, in this case the outcome was not. Made my order online. Email instructions then state that the local depot (MKM North Birmingham) will be in touch to arrange and discuss delivery. Two business days pass and no communication at all from the depot. Suddenly, a delivery vehicle arrives at 7:30am at my home address without any prior notice to me at all. I wasn't in to receive a delivery, I was at work. Fortunately, my pregnant partner was in to accept it, but at this point, she was worried as she did know where to get the load dropped. However, as there was no prior correspondence. I had to wake up my neighbour via a phone call in order for them to move their vehicle for MKM to gain access to our driveway. The experience as a whole caused worry and embarrassment to me. All of it could have been avoided if the customer service was better and they had picked up the phone to me just as their instructions said they would. I would have made arrangements to make sure the delivery went smoother and also saved their delivery driver time as I believe he had to wait around for 10-15 minutes for my neighbour to move his vehicle. Also, their prices were slightly higher than my local merchants, I would have accepted this slight increase if the order process was smoother and easy as I thought I was going to be. Very disappointed.

  Arrived here at 1150am on the 25/03/23 (Saturday). We knew they close at 12pm but just wanted a quick peek at their kitchens and bathrooms and to leave detailed plans for them to quote for a 26 unit kitchen with 7 appliances and 3 bathrooms and a cloakroom unit. Got out the car and seen a member of staff peering through the window (window just by the car park) who then proceeded to close it very quickly. Went round the front and back and everything closed at 1152am. OK not an issue everybody deserves to finish early I suppose now and then :). We stayed outside the vehicle for about 5 minutes as I was taking a few phone calls and same member of staff walked past us looking rather sheepish, head bowed with no acknowledgement of our existence. A simple sorry we missed you and these are our opening hours would have been suffice. There loss not mine. If this is the standard of their customer service it seems we (happily) dodged a bullet. Management will have access to Cctv and can see for themselves if this review is genuine or not.
