Purchased a stubbie shed. Was kept in the loop the entire time with a delivery date. As a back yard handy man I found the shed very easy to erect. Only required a small amount of assistance with the lifting otherwise I was able to complete the build by myself. Show details · 1
Outstanding service – Sophia and Dene went out of their way to assist us. We went in regularly with questions about erecting two verandahs and decks. They gave us outstanding advice and we were always welcomed. They designed all our projects and happily redesigned them when we measured incorrectly. Show details · 3
Gates galore! – Went into Stratco in Bunbury, WA. We had photos and measurements ready. Our sales assistant had great product knowledge and made up a quote on the spot with our prepared info. They offered suggestions to improve our project and walked away happy customers. Being a special order, it was ready for collection on the scheduled date. Order was complete and project is now completed. Show details · 1

Wooden screens – The wooden screens along the inside of a polycarbonate patio wall was a perfect adornment. They were easy to screw in place and provide handy shade for the patio area. Show details

Fantastic Service – I’d like to give a big shout out to Alex at the Bunbury store. Her “can do” attitude, along with product knowledge was fantastic. Alex, your customer service was 10/10. Thank you. It made the whole exercise very enjoyable. Show details · 1
Helpful staff, easy to deal with – Ordered our shed with Mark from Bunbury store. He was great, helpful, good advice and a good bloke to deal with. The store itself REALLY needs a dedicated phone person, as trying to contact anyone instore is virtually impossible, with calls going through the Perth office and even they had trouble getting someone to answer a phone. The installer, Marc, was great. Good communication, great work and easy to deal with too. Show details · 1

Bitterly disappointed in trying to get a simple patio from this company – Bitterly disappointed in trying to get a simple patio from this company. Keep getting non-supply of materials,been trying to get a local company and people for over 5 months. Now, my December 22 build is off, and the tradies are on holiday until Jan 10th. Can't supply product. Can't pass info on to sub-contract builder. Very tardy in every respect. Would I deal with, or recommend to anyone ? Never and no! Show details
Poor customer service – Ordered a shed in January with Rowan. By March still hadn't heard anything. Tried ringing store but kept going through to Perth who said they would look into it. Perth people said give us two weeks to sort it. Heard nothing. Visited Bunbury store and spoke to Ethan who confirmed Perth had contacted and in process .... couldn't help further,… Read more
give us another week .... heard nothing. Called into Bunbury store got fobbed off to Mark and had to go through whole scenario again. Finally documentation was located - had sat in a drawer for 3 months! Got put into council and was told not to push them as they would only take longer .....!!!! Once council finally approved still waited another 5 weeks. Was told now it was in the manufacturers hands and would have to wait ... Received an email in April to do this product review!!! Still no shed. Finally, SIX months later was contacted by contractors who were brilliant and sympathetic. Insufficient communication between Stratco and client. Never again using Bunbury Stratco. Thank you to the contractors for a great job! Pick up your game, Stratco Bunbury! Six months to get my shed!! Not a happy customer!

Poor communication – First person I spoke to about the shed was great Mark at Bunbury then Rowan who did all the final pricing ect was great too for my shed . But then every time I wanted to contact the store after would go straight to Perth call centre could never speak to someone at Bunbury store as they wouldn’t answer when transferred . Then I would go into store… Read more
and they seemed understaffed and when a staff member was finally available they didn’t have the experience to be able to deal with my questions about the sheds so then I would have to wait longer maybe further training for all staff to be able handle all customers requests plus shed took longer than was expected and they never contacted me once about when it had arrived or what was going on took various calls from me to get answers and still couldn’t get them .

Horrendous customer service! – I recently went tonStratco Bunbury to buy a shelving unit for a shed. I chose to shop there due to its close vicinity to where my storage shed is (about 250 metres away). I surprisingly found exactly what I was looking for in under 60 seconds, I decided on 2 shelf units (bargain price 2 for $80) and headed to the checkout/ cashier counter. I was… Read more
at first confused as there were 2 unmanned counters at the front of the store and one to the side where a line existed (trade desk) and 1 staff member, who was seemingly giving a customer a lot of attention which is great. Another staff member appeared busy too with a customer but that was all I could see. I moved from counter to counter and finally a 3rd staff member came to the front counter with a customer who has specific items and required assistance. So far I understand that these 3 staff were busy. Only 1 other staff member was inside the store (a manager of sorts) who stood at the trade desk and chatted to what appeared to be a delivery driver. At this point I had been waiting close to 10 minutes with my goods to pay for. The lady who did come to the front counter went away to ask the manager questions and returned to spend more time with the same customer. I finally had to be a little rude and ask her if there were other staff that could process my transaction so I could move on. The customer allowed me to be served, to a relatively rude staff member and I was eventually on my way. The experience took me 20 minutes! In that time I saw at least 20 customers in the shop, with apparently 3 staff and a manager. Given the requirement of assistance in these stores I understand they can be busy, however I cannot understand why the front counter does not have a staff member stationed at all times. The experience made me realise that although Bunnings was a 5 minute drive away, it would have been quicker and a more pleasant shopping experience.

Stratco DIY made easy – Great online platform, unfortunate not all items have a price but not a big issue. When in store the customer service was great making sure I had everything for the job. Products were ordered and were all correct and received timely. Show details
Excellent Service – We cannot thank the staff at Bunbury (especially Rowan) for their care and attention when buying and supplying our shed. There were some transport/delivery problems but they were sorted efficiently and quickly. Communication during the whole process was faultless.. Well done team. Show details
Was a big headache. Customer service was kon existant – Our shed process took away to long. We originally signed up in October shed finally finished beginning Feb. Communication from the store was poor. We felt constantly messed around. I had to make multiple trips into store and even more emails. Took days to get answers. Once it moved on from store level to shed building it went really quick. We… Read more
communicated to our sales rep we were doing our own concrete and that we wanted bigger than the actually.meterage on the shed which he almost encouraged us to do as it would be quite expensive through Stratco, but we got no guidance. Nor do I think it was on the paperwork so there was no recesses in the concrete for the shed to be attached to. And from what I remember of the plan after questioning this it was only on the back and the front not through the concrete. Multiple times I asked for plans to be emailed and it would take multiple attempts and finally an answer. We ended up having to seal the shed ourself because of the miscommunication of the shed. There was even a point I had believed I had sent some paperwork through. Our sales person at stratco didn't receive it but the follow up was never made by him. It was about a month after I thought I'd sent it that I emailed and checked how it was progressing to be told he Supposibly never received our paperwork. The shed installers were concerning to. The main gentleman seemed ok but his main assistant made me uncomfortable. He also smoked through my property passed my Open windows and I found cigarette butts and rubbish from food and drink on my property. They also just let themselves into my backyard no knocking at the door or anything. Which is not really acceptable when I am home alone with 3 children.
The overall process was more stressful than actually building the house. The communication from the store was ridiculous and we felt very unvalued.
At this time I wouldn't suggest stratco or stratco bunbury to friends due to our bad experience.

Complete balls up from start to finish – Walked into store at Banbury looking for a basic patio and was up sold to the best product they had which is ok. Then took nearly an hour to sort it all out.

it will now take 4 days to erect a one day job. From start to finish it has been a stuff up and would totally not go to stratco again not even for a screw.

I will definetly be going back – The service was amazing very helpful staff and cheap prices. We were meant to go in there to just buy some grinding disks but ended up not leaving for 2 hours because we were enjoying looking around and buying stuff. A+ Statco Show details
Superb Service – The Bunbury team, especially "Super" Dave (as we now call him) gave us exceptional service when we purchased a new patio recently. We spent an hour or so discussing the ins and outs of what we wanted and they were very patient and thorough. We left with full drawings, specifications, how to guides and a highly discounted price. We pick up our patio tomorrow. Extremely happy and will return there in future. Show details
Great service – We needed a small garden shed and wanted to know exactly how it looked, feel how solid it was and what it physically looked like. The decision was made easy when visiting the store and taken through the displays, the wonderful service made my decision simple and stress less. Well done Stratco, you can’t beat good old customer service Show details
Pretty good but a bit unorganized – They couldn't find the wheelbarrow then it had the wrong price on it and had to fix it when I got it home even though it said assembled as part of the price . Need better training or management.
