Chamberlain, the hardware and building supplies retailer trading since 1903, publishes no central customer service telephone number or head office email address. Its head office route is an online form, and telephone numbers are published per branch on each store page.

What this organisation provides
Chamberlain sells paint, tools, hardware and building materials including cement, steel, roofing, drywall and reinforcing, in store and online, with delivery. Individual stores list their own departments and services, which vary by branch and can include a builders yard, a bulk and directs department, a garden centre, a coffee shop, paint mixing, and board cutting and edging. There is also a Trade Card for trade customers.
Address and operating information
The head office contact form states that Chamberlain usually responds within 24 hours, and it asks whether you want a reply by phone, by email or not at all. Branch pages carry the branch telephone number, street address and trading hours, which differ by store: the Silver Lakes branch, for example, trades Monday to Friday 07:30 to 17:30, Saturday 08:00 to 15:00, Sunday 09:00 to 13:00 and public holidays 08:00 to 15:00. Branches named on the site include Riviera, Montana, Centurion, Waterkloof Glen, Randburg, Strubens Valley, Kyalami, Silver Lakes and Waltloo.
Support and escalation routes
Take a product or service complaint to the branch that sold you the goods, since stock, pricing and returns are handled at branch level, and use the head office form only if the branch does not resolve it. Be aware that email addresses shown on the store pages are hidden by the site content system and render as a placeholder rather than a readable address, so use the branch telephone number or the head office form instead of trying to read an address off the page. An unresolved complaint about defective goods or a refund is a Consumer Protection Act matter for the National Consumer Commission.
