We are not affiliated with either retailer. This is one public journey on one day, not a judgement on either business as a whole.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-test\">The test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uxa-test-brief\">\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item uxa-test-brief__item--task\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">01 \/ Task<\/span>\n        <p>Search for \u201ccordless drill kit\u201d, choose a practical 18V kit near $100, set Geelong VIC as the location, then continue through guest checkout to payment.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">02 \/ Bunnings choice<\/span>\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bunnings.com.au\/ozito-pxc-18v-cordless-drill-driver-kit-pxddk-250c_p0299323\">Ozito PXC 18V drill driver kit<\/a>, $89.98.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">03 \/ Mitre 10 choice<\/span>\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitre10.com.au\/stanley-fatmax-18v-drill-driver-2-0ah-kit-7837867\">Stanley FatMax 18V drill driver kit<\/a>, $99.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-test-brief__item\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">04 \/ Safe stopping point<\/span>\n        <p>Before entering payment details or placing an order.

Mitre 10 made local stock easier to understand.<\/h2>\n    \n    \n    <p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Bunnings wins this task narrowly because its three-step checkout, recovery messages and automated accessibility result were stronger. Mitre 10 gave clearer store-level stock language and faster real-user interaction times, but its product page and checkout carried more technical and accessibility friction. Bunnings still has serious work to do on search relevance and phone interaction delay.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<nav class=\"uxa-article-nav\" aria-label=\"Article sections\">\n    <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Jump to<\/span>\n    <a href=\"#search\">Search<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#store\">Store and stock<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#checkout\">Checkout<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#recovery\">Recovery<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#performance\">Performance<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#accessibility\">Accessibility<\/a>\n    <a href=\"#changes\">Priorities<\/a>\n<\/nav>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"search\">Round 1: finding a suitable drill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Both retailers returned useful options for the broad query. Bunnings then failed a more precise model-number check badly enough to change the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bunnings made the broad results easy to compare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The query \u201ccordless drill kit\u201d returned 174 products. The first results covered entry-level options from $49.98 to $179, with prices, ratings and kit names visible in the grid. The $89.98 Ozito PXC kit clearly included a battery and charger, making it a reasonable match for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-bunnings-results.png\" alt=\"Bunnings search results for cordless drill kit showing entry-level Ozito and XU1 options with prices and ratings\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bunnings made the broad product set easy to scan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exact Bunnings search lost the product entirely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also searched Bunnings for \u201cMakita DHP487\u201d, a precise drill model query. The six returned items were a trailer light, two camera batteries, a power-steering pump, printer ink and a food container. Every result was a marketplace item and none was the requested drill. A precise query should either return the product, suggest a close match or say clearly that it is unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-bunnings-exact-search.png\" alt=\"Bunnings results for Makita DHP487 showing six unrelated marketplace products instead of a drill\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A model-number query returned six unrelated marketplace products. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bunnings.com.au\/search\/products?page=1&amp;q=Makita+DHP487&amp;sort=BoostOrder\">Open the tested search<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mitre 10 returned more products but useful filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitre 10 returned 206 products for the broad query. Category, brand, price and stock-availability filters gave the large set structure, and the early results included several complete 18V kits between $50 and $149. The $99 Stanley FatMax kit sat near the top of the first page and matched the task closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-mitre10-results.png\" alt=\"Mitre 10 search results for cordless drill kit with product, brand, price and stock filters and several 18V kits\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mitre 10\u2019s first page mixed entry-level and professional kits but kept the main filters visible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitre10.com.au\/catalogsearch\/result?q=cordless+drill+kit&amp;flag=product\">Open the tested search<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n    <p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ Mitre 10<\/p>\n    \n    \n    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both broad searches worked, but Bunnings\u2019 exact-query failure is a high-confidence relevance problem. Mitre 10\u2019s large result set still kept relevant drill kits and practical filters near the top.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"store\">Round 2: choosing a store and reading stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Mitre 10 explained the local situation more directly. Bunnings had stock, but confirming the collection store took an extra, easily missed action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bunnings required a suggestion and then a second confirmation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typing 3220 exposed the suggestion \u201cBareena VIC 3220\u201d, while the store list still showed the previous Mentone area until we selected that suggestion. The Geelong-area results then showed Geelong North, Waurn Ponds, Leopold and Torquay with the item in stock. Selecting Geelong North did not finish the job: it revealed a second button, \u201cClick &amp; Collect from Geelong North\u201d, at the bottom of the dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-stage commitment is defensible, but the first store click looked final. The confirming action should remain visible from the start or the selected store should be paired immediately with an explicit \u201cUse this store\u201d action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mitre 10 exposed stock confidence sooner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typing 3220 produced Geelong, Newtown and South Geelong choices. Selecting South Geelong immediately set Fagg\u2019s Mitre 10 and showed \u201cLow stock in store\u201d for Click &amp; Collect. That phrasing is more useful than a generic available\/not-available state because it signals urgency without pretending the exact count is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-mitre10-product-store.png\" alt=\"Mitre 10 Stanley FatMax drill page with South Geelong selected, Click and Collect available and low stock in store\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mitre 10 connected the selected location, fulfilment method and stock confidence in one panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n    <p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ Mitre 10<\/p>\n    \n    \n    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitre 10 turned a postcode choice into a named store and a meaningful stock message with less confirmation friction.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checkout\">Round 3: cart and guest checkout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Bunnings presented a calmer three-stage checkout. Mitre 10 kept the total clear but added more account, reward and address interface around the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bunnings kept the route to payment legible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cart named the collection store, kept the $89.98 total visible and showed three steps: Review cart, Contact details and Payment. \u201cContinue as guest\u201d was distinct from sign-in and OnePass. After contact details, the payment step showed billing address, gift card and the available payment families without requiring payment data first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-bunnings-payment-boundary.png\" alt=\"Bunnings checkout payment step showing billing information and payment method choices for an $89.98 click and collect order\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bunnings reached a clear payment boundary. We did not enter payment information or place an order.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mitre 10 introduced an alarming label without enough context<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The add-to-cart panel described the drill kit as a \u201chazardous item\u201d and said it was available only in store or through Click &amp; Collect. The restriction is understandable for a kit containing a lithium-ion battery, but the wording does not explain that connection. A short reason would make the rule feel operational rather than alarming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cart itself clearly showed low stock, free collection, GST and a $99 total. Guest checkout then required an email modal before opening the details step. The payment boundary preserved the selected store, item, billing details and total, but the page\u2019s mounted dialogs and repeated generic Edit controls made its accessible structure noisier than its visual design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-uxa-screenshot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uxrobot.ai\/ux-audits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bunnings-vs-mitre10-mitre10-payment-boundary.png\" alt=\"Mitre 10 checkout at the payment step showing South Geelong collection, billing details and a $99 order total\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mitre 10 also reached payment with the store, item and total intact. We stopped before selecting or authorising payment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-round-winner has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n    <p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Round winner \/ Bunnings<\/p>\n    \n    \n    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bunnings required fewer account-related decisions and made the three checkout stages easier to understand as one sequence.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recovery\">Recovery test: what happens after a mistake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Bunnings, submitting the empty guest form produced \u201cThis field is required\u201d beside first name, last name, email and mobile number, then focused the first missing field. After we entered fictional but correctly formatted details, the form cleared those errors and opened Payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Mitre 10, the empty guest-email submission kept the guest dialog in place. A valid example.com address produced a visible \u201cEmail address is saved\u201d confirmation and enabled Checkout. Submitting the empty billing form then exposed explicit messages for first name, last name, phone, suburb, postal code and state. Correcting those fields produced \u201cBilling address updated successfully\u201d and opened the payment methods. Both journeys recovered without losing the selected product, store or total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"performance\">What real-user performance data says<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Bunnings rendered much sooner, while Mitre 10 reacted to interactions faster. The most serious origin-level warnings are Bunnings\u2019 phone INP and Mitre 10\u2019s LCP and layout movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are 75th-percentile Chrome UX Report origin results for 26 August\u201322 September 2026. Google\u2019s good thresholds are LCP at or below 2.5 seconds, INP at or below 200 milliseconds and CLS at or below 0.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uxa-metric-grid\" aria-label=\"Origin Core Web Vitals comparison\">\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Bunnings \/ phone<\/span>\n        <strong>2.24s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 good<\/span>\n        <strong>581ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 poor<\/span>\n        <strong>0.08<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 good<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Mitre 10 \/ phone<\/span>\n        <strong>4.51s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 poor<\/span>\n        <strong>238ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span>\n        <strong>0.57<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 poor<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Bunnings \/ desktop<\/span>\n        <strong>2.00s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 good<\/span>\n        <strong>255ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span>\n        <strong>0.21<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 needs improvement<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-metric\">\n        <span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Mitre 10 \/ desktop<\/span>\n        <strong>4.47s<\/strong><span>LCP \u00b7 poor<\/span>\n        <strong>131ms<\/strong><span>INP \u00b7 good<\/span>\n        <strong>0.32<\/strong><span>CLS \u00b7 poor<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-evidence-note has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scope:<\/strong> these Chrome UX Report figures cover each entire public origin, not the search, product, cart or checkout pages tested above. They identify broad patterns for investigation; they cannot prove that one page or component caused a result.<\/p>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The engineering order should follow those patterns and the journey evidence together: investigate Bunnings\u2019 slow phone interactions; identify Mitre 10 templates and components responsible for slow rendering and movement; then track p75 changes alongside successful product searches, store selections and checkout progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accessibility\">Automated accessibility and quality checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-lead-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The exact desktop product pages produced a large automated quality gap: Bunnings scored 99 for accessibility, while Mitre 10 scored 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uxa-check-grid\">\n    <div class=\"uxa-check\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Bunnings product page<\/span><strong>99<\/strong><p>Desktop Lighthouse accessibility score.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-check\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Bunnings product page<\/span><strong>73<\/strong><p>Desktop Lighthouse best-practices score.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-check\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Mitre 10 product page<\/span><strong>75<\/strong><p>Desktop Lighthouse accessibility score.<\/p><\/div>\n    <div class=\"uxa-check\"><span class=\"uxa-kicker\">Mitre 10 product page<\/span><strong>50<\/strong><p>Desktop Lighthouse best-practices score.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checks ran through the application\u2019s configured Google PageSpeed Insights client on 25 September 2026. Bunnings\u2019 remaining automated accessibility failures concerned heading order and visible labels that did not match accessible names. Mitre 10\u2019s failures included an unnamed dialog, invalid ARIA relationships, unnamed buttons and links, low contrast, missing image alternatives, heading order and small touch targets. Both product pages also requested geolocation on load and logged browser-console problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are one-time lab diagnostics for the two linked product pages. They do not describe the whole origins, and automated checks do not establish WCAG conformance. The hands-on accessibility-tree inspection supported the Mitre 10 result: icon-font characters such as search and location glyphs appeared as text, and several important header links had no useful accessible name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"changes\">What each retailer should change first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-uxa-versus is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n        \n        <p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Bunnings<\/p>\n        \n        \n        <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix relevance, then interaction delay<\/h3>\n        \n        \n        <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stop unrelated marketplace products from satisfying precise model-number searches.<\/li><li>Make the two-stage store choice explicit with a persistent \u201cUse this store\u201d action.<\/li><li>Profile the components behind the 581ms phone INP and verify improvements against completed searches and checkouts.<\/li><li>Correct visible-label and accessible-name mismatches on the product template.<\/li><\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n    \n\n    \n    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n        \n        <p class=\"uxa-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">Mitre 10<\/p>\n        \n        \n        <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stabilise the page, then repair semantics<\/h3>\n        \n        \n        <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Prioritise the templates and third-party resources behind poor LCP and CLS on both form factors.<\/li><li>Repair unnamed dialogs, buttons and links; remove icon-font glyphs from accessible names.<\/li><li>Explain why a battery-powered kit is classed as hazardous and why delivery is unavailable.<\/li><li>Reduce the account, reward and mounted-dialog noise around guest checkout.<\/li><\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limits\">What this public test cannot tell us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-uxa-evidence-note has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices, stock, promotions and result counts can change.
