i only wanted a few items....

[NikNak]

So.... i place an order with Craft Supplies... who it appears are now owned(?) by Turners Retreat

I get an email acknowledgment saying thank you for your order from Tuners Retreat

and an acknowledgment from Paypal saying the payment has been processed

Then i get an email from Robert Sorby :shock: telling me my order will be delivered on Weds 30th by DPD

This morning i get an email from Robert Sorby telling me that DPD will be delivering today and that i can 'Follow my parcel now'

I click on the link and get taken to the Interlink Express website :shock: where i'm told my parcel will be delivered between 12.23 and 13.23 by 'Gary' (his picture does him justice 8) )

So many people, so many companies, just to process and deliver my 'ickle parcel.... i need a lay down before 'Gary' arrives 8-[

Yes! I feel quite sorry for these delivery guys and cut them quite a bit of slack. We quite often get deliveries turn up in the evening and it is obvious they have been haring around all day to earn a crust. DPD drove me mad at first until I realised what our regular delivery driver is expected to do in a day.

You should see what happens when Roxanne delivers :shock:

And they also own Moore & Wright, Bowers and Eclipse. Almost all of the stuff that used to be made in Sheffield is now made in "Asia" because it is cheaper.
