Fantastic news!

Screwfix is one of the few things I miss about the UK.

I wonder if they'll have actual shops as well, so you can fix your toilet on a Sunday if need be!

Not sure they will be much help for your Sunday toilet, try bunnings :D
Screw fix direct: Our wearhouses are located in Taree NSW and all of our pickups can be made from that location.

A few things i find odd about the sites
  • The site doesn't look very professional & unfinished. Allot of big companies would not upload an unfinished website
  • The Copyright date is 2008.
  • The website domain name isnt registered to a company but to an individual.
  • The site was last edited in 2008
  • The site was designed by a small marketing firm. Normally large companies that have a big online presence have a dedicated web development team
  • The lack of an official logo

To be honest i dont think its the real deal

Cool.

All we need now is for scotch eggs to appear in regular supermarkets and everything will be complete. :thumbsup:

Neither do I. Mainly because they only sell screws! Screwfix UK sells everything.

In the UK Screwfix started off like that and then expanded.
Hopefully it is the same company.

Screwfix is Australia's largest direct and online supplier of trade accessories and hardware products. With over 15 years experience in online selling.

Taken together with the comments above.. it does seem odd that 15 years of online selling, produces that.

Not the same company. The company above is Screwfix Direct Australia and is not affiliated with the UK Screwfix.

Can you be certain ?

It was established 15 years ago as a wholesaler to the construction industry.
