Morons. Like some is going to carry a hundredweight of flat-pack on
the bus.

Joking aside, do they offer free delivery? *Their* idea being that you
choose / pay for yer bits then go home on the bus and the stuff get's
delivered by them later?

Not free, but quite reasonable if you're getting a large amount of stuff. I
moved into my new house a couple of months ago and spent around £1000 in one
go (bed, mattress, bedside tables, 3 bookcases, coffee table, TV stand, etc.
etc.) and £30 for the delivery was pretty good.

How far, though? I am 80 miles from the nearest store. I'll bet that
would cost more than £30!
