BLOODY ScrewFix

Not quite as good as when I ordered 3 TRVs from here via Ebay last week

Bought at 4:00PM. Postman knocked on the door at 7:15AM following day. I was almost speechless.

I won a frost stat on ebay and went to pay. Unfortunately the paypal site was down so I decided I'd leave it until the next day.

The frost stat arrived the following day before I'd even got round to paying for it!

Better than the two weeks at at least a dozen phone calls it took to get them to deliver my plastic pipe then.

Not Parcelfarce again was it?

NT

Parcelforce were the ones who did eventually deliver. They also sent it out through Lynx and and I think CitiLink and it was never seen again.

It is a shame that online retailers often get tarred with the same brush as the couriers who are often the real route of the problem.

That's understandable, however from the customers point of view, I don't care about the distinction between the company and the couriers, I've placed my order with Screwfix and I expect *them* to get the item to my door on time. I have no interest in how they achieve this or whos fault it is when things go wrong.

I'm sure you can think of something else you need before you start.

Dear Chris,

North of Aberdeen (brrrr) one imagines they sell a lot of radiators and other heating equipment. One wonders how long it would take way down south here on the Dorset coast? ;-)

Well done Screwfix!

Keith, it has been the mildest winter I've experienced in the last 25 years and coming from Brighton, Sussex, there is a fair latitude difference.

As ScrewFix are in Yeovil, I'd of thought you would have collected it yourself by hand.. LOL.

Chris.

Deliveries are from various warehouses, notably Stoke on Trent. Couldn't you tell from the speech impediment? Oh, sorry, that's Birmingham. :-)
