Here’s the headline: B & M does not sell general merchandise online. I know. It stings. You can’t just load a virtual trolley with their famous 89p chocolate bars and a new mop. The website exists to taunt you with photos of what you could be buying.
So, what can you order? Only one tiny, specific category: home delivery of huge, bulky items. We’re talking garden furniture, trampolines, sheds, and those massive plastic storage units you hide your junk in. It’s like a store that only sells carrots on the website, but has the whole grocery store inside the building. Madness, right?
The “Big Stuff” Loophole
So if you need a garden parasol or a plastic greenhouse, you’re in luck. You can order that online. It gets shipped to your door like a giant, awkward Amazon parcel. But please, don’t try to order a single pack of batteries or a scented candle. The website will laugh at you.
Why do they do this? Honestly? Who knows. Maybe it’s because their stock changes faster than my mood on a Monday morning. One day they sell inflatable flamingos, the next day it’s all about slow cookers. It would be a nightmare to keep a full online catalogue accurate.
