As an aside, avoid theplasticshop.co.uk. I bought a piece from them last
week. Strange...two days after I ordered, I received an email saying it
was on its way. It contained strict instructions about delivery; I was
to open and check the parcel contents before signing for it; if the
driver wouldn't wait, I was to sign 'Damaged'. Otherwise they wouldn't
entertain any claims at all.

Shortly after the email, I had a phone call from them: "Standard
practice to phone you in case you didn't get the email",. said the
woman. Same instructions: sign "Damaged" if not inspected.

Think I'll avoid them in the future.

I don't think that's (necessarily) fair. They may be a small shop,
and they probably don't deliver themselves. If the couriers screw up
(which happens from time to time - even with the best), they want to
be able to claim off the couriers. They have probably been bitten
before, and want to make it easy to claim back.

I don't think it means they use particularly unreliable couriers.

They're asking me to lie. I have no problem with writing "Unexamined",
but "Damaged"?

Well if it turns out to be damaged it's damaged and you have marked it
so .If It is not damaged then forget it ..No harm ( or damage) done
:-)
