So our phone died and I ordered a new one from Tesco Direct. It's being delivered today. It will be delivered, they tell me, between 7.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. evil:
So I wait. If I leave the house for one minute they will come and depart again.
I actually went out just now and hid round a corner to see if I could trick them into coming and then sort of leap out at them, like. But they were too cunning for me evil:
Now I just wait evil:

Argos just delivered two book cases ordered on Tuesday afternoon.
Well a courier just delivered One bookcase and one box containing two folding bar stools. I pointed out to him that this was wrong and he shrugged and said "Nuffin' to do wiv me mate, you'll have to speak to Argos" and drove off ~ I have "Spoken" to Argos eveilgrin:
The offending stools will be picked up tomorrow twixt 7 and 10 am and the other bookcase delivered ~ the courier company will be spoken to.
A letter of apology is on it's way ~ "Ding" It just dropped into my inbox.

I may wave some orange sauce at them next time they come begging eveilgrin:

That largely depends on (i) The T&Cs of the sale contract and (ii) How soon you want the plugs and manual. If you can wait then it's worth the fight, if you want them "yesterday" pay up and look big.
-
It hasn't turned up yet
Prolly frightened off by the Orange Sauce waving loony they saw as they tried to deliver
-
The ducks are back, like evil:

I can tell you what's happened. Have a wander down the road and you'll see the delivery van with 2 terrified blokes in passing your parcel to one another saying
"You deliver it"
"No, you deliver it"

Steady Growler ~ even Nick can unpack a phone and plug the jack into the wall socket. Probably hasn't figured out how to take off the wire twist that holds the cable coiled up so he will be sitting very close to the wall to make any calls but we can't expect too much lol:
-
Have either of you checked that he has set up his answer machine facility yet?
I would suggest ringing about 20 times - just for quality control purposes of course lol:
