Not quite what I paid for

Thought this issue may have created a bit of discussion!

On principle, I can manage with a few mm loss here and there. What annoys me is that it wasn't just one plank, but several and it wasn't a consistent loss the full length of the board. I also think if the manufacturer is claiming 29 cm it has to be a bit closer than what I got.

The guy I was served buy measured my last purchase as I explained the last two were slightly short so someone who works there is aware of the issue for the future. I will, however, be taking a tape measure with me in future. . .

When it comes to buying crap, unfortunately, when you need timber quickly and cheaply, Bunnings is a suitable place of purchase. Haven't tried Masters yet but might see if they have more accurate sized pine or if they purchase from a different supplier. I certainly wasn't going to spend a lot of funds finding accurately sized timber for a Dog High Jump for our local agricultural show . . .

Thanks for all the responses, though. Thought for a while there it was just an imaginary removal of millimetres. . . .

Oh c'mon!!

BTW woodworkers don't buy timber from Bunnings. Soak it in water if you want to get more out of it.

We don't all live in the big smoke, some of us have no other choice that Bunnies, Masters and Mitre10
