Tips for ordering from B&Q
B&Q products vary significantly in weight. Paint in particular is heavy — a 5L tin weighs around 6kg. Check forwarding costs using Quick Quote before ordering large quantities of paint or heavy tools. Lighter items like accessories, small tools, and garden accessories forward more cheaply.
PostUK's parcel consolidation service lets you combine B&Q with other UK retailer orders and forward them in one shipment — reducing the overall forwarding cost.
