Went to Wickes to buy some wood, came home with a banana.

Don't you actually check it before buying?

I did, but I missed the curve on one axis. Which I only spotted after I'd
painted it up and butted it up against a straight piece of wood - the curve
was obvious.

This was the best of the bunch they had, which was even worse. And the
reviews on the Wickes site suggest they send out bananas on delivery orders,
when you don't get a choice.

Reject it.

And sometimes it would be better to buy the
longer stuff for delivery, rather than set up a saw bench in the car park.

Taking it home is cheaper. Delivery makes sense if you're buying a lot.
