Is anyone considering buying any Chubb, Union, or Yale products valued at £35+VAT or more from Travis Perkins in the next few weeks?
I need an advice slip (receipt, presumably) number for any product from the above three. Nothing dodgy.

I don't know quite what you're up to, but it reminds me of a German supplier, I used to deal with who had no official system for delivering parts or samples by hand.
Being sticklers for the paperwork, what they ended up doing whenever a rep did personally hand something over, was to also physically ship some other scrap or worthless item through the normal channels, along with it's paper trail just to keep their system happy!
Similar tale from another place, where it was so difficult and time consuming for them to raise a proper shipping note to be able to carry a sample part out of their plant, that you would be invited to enter the plant at one gate, with some unidentified technical looking object(s), get the appropriate forms stamped up to declare it as your own property, pick up the parts you were collecting, and the leave by a different gate, waving the paperwork you'd already picked up from the first gate for 'unidentified technical looking object(s)', hoping that the security guards hadn't meanwhile rotated their posts.
Nope, that's far too complicated for me. I want it as a proof of purchase to enter a competition they're running.

Why don't you buy one, enter the comp with a photocopy and take it back for a refund as it wasn't required after all, happens a lot on most jobs!
I did think about that, and asked electrician bro-in-law what TP's refund policy was. He thought they might not be willing to refund me...unless you know different. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask them.

If you get good discount at TP, buy items, enter comp, sell items at profit on ebay.
Could be a win, win situation :-)

If only. That did cross my mind actually. Anyone want to but anything from TP *slightly* cheaper than it should be? I don't mind making a small loss :) Ah...postage. Bugger. Once again the devil farts in my face.

What's the prize?
