I had a bad experience with biildit pinetown I paid 37000 for material To get a delivery you hv to phone them many times I think they should change their strategy cos this supplier thing is not working. After more than 8 days I had to go there myself to find out why I'm not getting my material and I wanted a refund I was told that it will b orederd at corobrik ill get it same day I kept on phoning until I was out of airtime I did not get my delivery that day while the truck was on the way according to them. After 2 o click I went there for my refund because I was fed up is even they phone u about delivery you cancel ur plans and they don't come I ve never been so stressed with the builder waiting for material I ve seen such a bad service even small hardwares are better. I'm still angry the way I was treated can u imagine driving to pinetown twice day leaving my important things. BAD SERVICE I WILL NEVER BUY IN BUILDIT PINETOWN AGAIN

  • Band Bongani Kubheka

Today I was so badly treated by Bheki. I went in looking for a fireplace equipment, with my wife. 2 guys all pointed to Bheki to assist us. He blatantly ignored us even when I called his name. Then he went past us talking to a phone, waited to end the call. Called him again, ignored us. We stood next to the equipment R5999, with a chimney. Eventually found him on the doorstep, the guys told him, he continued to behave so bad pretending to be busy with a paper. I stay in Pinetown and had to drive to Hillcrest. We have been using buildit, with my brothers. I was so humiliated for what? I still don't know as we had to leave without assistance and drive far.

  • Ronnie Geel

I was offered assistance by one of the department managers who even took the time to have a short chat. He ensured that I was helped to find what I was looking for. Prices on items on special offer were really good. Even a discount was given because the items I bought were for my business. When transporting my material, the loading team ensured my materials were well secured and where not going to get damaged on route. Even the staff operating the tills were very pleasant. An overall pleasant experience. Well done Build-it!

  • Sandra Rama

Went in on a Sunday just before closing time. Absolutely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff! They showed no signs of irritation at our late arrival at all. We found all the things we were looking for with their help. A most pleasant experience from start to finish. A special thank you to the young man who helped with getting our purchases to our car. Will definitely be going back in future.

  • michael horrocks

After going to two different hardware stores in Pinetown namely Buco and Builders where the service and prices were very mediocre, I decided to go to Build it Pinetown and it was like going into a different world. Every single staff member was so friendly and helpful, and the best part is the prices were great. Keep it up Build it Pinetown and thanks once again for the pleasant experience

  • YU PI

Outstanding service from your staff, Offence and assisted by Vumani. I had a query about a float valve on a jojo tank. Offence spent the time to take the parts to the yard and installed for me to to test that this was the correct part due to a previous issue that I had at another store. Very professional. corteous and efficient. Vumani was also extremely helpful. Well done and thank you

  • Martin Greeff

Build It Pinetown is a great DIY store. They have a great range and they are way ahead of Builder's Express on service and customer assistance. This is my new go-to store for building supplies and DIY. I highly recommend them. The only frustration is that they don't trade on Sundays which is when I most often need DIY supplies and I then reluctantly have to go elsewhere.

  • E Wassink

I saw an add with thier specials. I called in to enquire. Was given all the relevant information. Went to pay and place my order. As soon as the stock arrived, I received a call and delivery was done. Awesome service. Just 1 thing, we had to physically go to the store to order and pay. If this could be done via Email or online, would be Amazing.

  • Porsh Mkhize

I went to buy shower glasses and a couple of other things & I was assisted by Ofense. He gave me such excellent service! At the branch they also offer tea or hot chocolate which is such a nice touch. Offense went above his duty. He even organised transport. Excellent service! Everyone is nice at that branch. They are super helpful!

  • Jeron Strydom

Nicely laid out, very neat and well stocked store. Always find what I need and is usually a few Rands cheaper than Builders Express per item I have purchased to date. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Will stay as my preferred Building and DIY supply store. Bravo, well done Build It team.

  • Ashley Baumgart

I went to Build it for the first time today. I wanted some paint that I thought was a bargain! I was not well recieved by a lady at customer care, but the guy who served me was pleasant and helpful. He realized that I walk with the aid of a crutch, and really made the shopping experience as best he could.

  • Nathanael Chetty

Usually when I visit a hardware I expect terrible service, but BUILD IT PINETOWN, goes far beyond any expectation, the staff are amazing and so helpful. Every staff member has a smile and is so welcoming! Most definitely the best hardware I have ever been to, also the prices are great and reasonable.

  • Pamela Govender

Had a bad experience here today I mistakenly dropped an item on the shelf that was too close to the railing and one of the employees started screaming at my son. To top it off the manager tells him just apologize so she can stop screaming!! The damn nerve !!!! How do they treat customers like this ??

  • Nicole Dippenaar

Great service, all staff ready to assist. Everyone is Very friendly my little boy had a blast in the store today, he received a baby chino, a ballon and had some fun in the red golf car. I can truly see the goal and motivation behind this business. The best service with the best prices. Thank you!

  • Sue Brackett

Fantastic sales service in store. Unfortunately service fell down at glass cutting section and mirror not cut as per order. Will have to make another trip there next week. My end result absolute disaster. Would have been better off just buying new complete and not relying on Build It for advice.

  • Lee-Ann Smit

Excellent service. Friendly staff, clean store. Staff know their products and are happy to give advice / instructions on how to do something. The staff actually walk with you to whatever you ask for, not like most places where they just point in a general direction. Love going here.

  • Sundra Poonan

They stock everything for the DIY enthusiast and also for contractors, their prices are reasonable and their customer service is great. Well situated behind Pinetown Knowles SuperSpar and ARB electrical wholesalers nearby, with lots of parking it is a one stop shopping experience.

  • Craig Smyth

After horrible experiences at builders, thought I would try Build It. From the parking to the wood cutting, what an awesome experience. Purity who assisted me was an absolute gem. Stuff anywhere else in Pinetown. Build It is the best since moving to kzn. Well done.

  • Grant Walker

I dont normally write reviews, but with such incredible service, BuildIt Pinetown deserves one. 5-Stars for their very friendly staff that made sure I had everything I needed and went out of their way to find answers to questions they didnt know the answers to.

  • Chanie-marie Van den Berg

Absolutely the best experience. Service was wonderful and staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially with a couple of young people who know nothing about construction! And with prices that can't be beat, I would definitely recommend Buildit!

  • Dawn Sooman

Bongikosi, an unassuming, knowledgeable and professional young paint assistant went out of his way to mix the identical colour I needed to patch up my lounge. Thank you for your enthusiasm and helpfulness. I wish there were more sales assistants like you.

  • Bernard McCracken

Was forever in a que at one till after about 10 minutes I walked over to the other till that was open aswell and also only had one customer at the till and also waited I eventually put the 2 pait brushes down and walked out they are actually useless.

  • Erna Deacon

What a fantastic bunch of people. Morgan sorted out my requirements & I was given a super cup of hot chocolate. I would reccomend Built it to anyone wanting good service & every conceivable item of hardware all under 1 roof.

  • Langelihle Ndlovu

Beautiful and clean, with reasonable prices. Highly recommend, not too keen on the service of the staff there, they all looked tired and uninterested but nothing major so it's still worth a visit.

  • Dave Robb

The service is fantastic! Staff are so friendly. The person at the checkout counter was so chatty. Their prices have increased slightly since they opened but it feels like a family business

  • Jonathan B

I was having trouble with my motorbike today and two gents in the yard there came to my assistance. Helped me remedy the fault and do a little fixing and I was on my way. Thanks Build It!

Loud, intrusive music. No stock of picture hooks!!! No system to queueing whatsoever. I stood at the coffee bar for some time, being ignored. More stock at Knowles, shop there rather
