False Advertising - False Discount Percentages – A promotion was advertised for an in store sale of up to 75% off on 13th April 2024. 20% off was offered on colourbond fencing products however when trying to make a purchase it was evident that only 7.75% discount was actually being honoured rather than the 20% advertised. There has since been no willingness of Stratco to rectify and honour their… Read more

Steel Cabinet (SKU: HW-12937) – The 2-door steel cabinet 1850x900x450 was easy for my husband to construct. It is a sturdy four-shelf cabinet with lockable doors. It is perfect for our needs (i.e. cat food storage unit to keep vermin out) and I absolutely LOVE it! Thank you Stratco Capalaba for having this great cabinet in stock and for your excellent customer click 'n' collect service. Show details · 1

Excellent product – Excellent product, great people! Fair prices, professional, and accurate information. Installation services should meet the store's expectations. In many cases the recommended builders are subcontracting non experts. Show details · 1

Nathan in shed sales was awesome – I know Nathan has moved onto another store but when I was ordering my shed and patio he made the whole process seamless. Even now when I email looking for advice or have any questions, he is back to me straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend Stratco again purely because of Nathan's service.

Can't deliver on time even after ordering and paying for the item over 7 weeks in advance – I ordered a Stratco stubbie shed in October to be delivered by the 4th of December 2020. This was for a new house build and the date was vital due to the removal truck being locked in for the 11th December and the shed installer for the 10th. Landscaping was the due on the 12th. Everything going to plan until the 4th comes and goes and no shed.… Read more
Ring Stratco and get told we sent you an email on the 27th November advising the delivery date was the 10th December. Firstly, the writing on that email of the date was so small you can hardly make it out but more importantly who set this date? I was pretty explicit that it had to come by the 4th and given that your website says the client sets the date of delivery at purchase which I did - who authorized this change? No one contacted me prior to this email to say there were manufacturing delays, no one contacted me to say is this date suitable. Your email just said order and delivery confirmation. I then try and salvage the situation with the shed installer by requesting Stratco deliver the shed 1st thing as a priority on the 10th so he can install it that day still so I have it ready to move stuff into on the 11th. What happens - I get a phone call at 8.30am advising it hasn't even been loaded yet and will be delivered sometime after lunch on the 10th. This is after the assistant manager had told me the dsy before that he had sent an email requesting the priority delivery. So I'm sorry but your sales follow up and delivery services are horrible. This was disappointing as a client and I would not recommend this company, especially as I chose Stratco for being reputable and to avoid the problems that I experienced.

Service Plus – Came into store looking for shelving. Store salesperson was friendly, personable and knew his stuff. The product recommended was a great product, easy to erect and functional. Even went home with a Stratco card and $10 off next purchase, bonus! Show details
Excellent service – I have found staff at Stratco to be exceptionally helpful and friendly. They can’t do enough for you. Always plenty of staff and willing to help. They did not have my item in store so promptly ordered it in from another store. The reduction in the opening times made it difficult for me to get there, likely a consequence of Covid. Show details

Great customer service – Had been getting quotes and information on gable roof sheds. Was given a very competitive quote from Stratco and decided to pop into the Capalaba store, not expecting to see one assembled. Was so surprised at the size of the store and was delighted to be able to view one. Staff were fantastic. So friendly and helpful. Answered all our questions and gave some very helpful advise. We ended up purchasing a shed from them for a great price. Show details
