A big thankyou has to go out to Axminster =D>, who IMHO did a fantastic job to get their 112kg Heavy Duty Beach Workbench to me in less than a week =D>
I ordered it last Thursday and i asked when it would be delivered.The lady told me that heavy goods usually took around 3 or 4 weeks, but she would put me through to the heavy goods manager. He also told me that it would be at least 3 weeks, but i must have sounded disappointed because he than said that if i could organise someone to be there to help the TNT driver to unload, he would get them to pick it up after the bank holiday and it should be with me 2 or 3 days later.
He was true to his word, because yesterday i received a email from Axminster to say that my order had been dispatched. Then about an hour ago, there was a knock on the door, and when i opened it the TNT driver was unloading my workbench.
Alright Axminster charge £30 for orders over 100kg, but as i learnt when they delivered my Jet 54A a couple of years ago this is money well spent.
And IMHO this went beyond that, because 3 of these's days were over a bank holiday weekend, and to think that they and TNT got this workbench 650 miles overnight is amazing.
But what really chuffed me was it turned up on my birthday, and no they did not know this. \/
So thanks Axminster and TNT
Cheers
