The shed I made (using shiplap) is better quality than the one I made up from pre-formed parts which is better than the B & Q sheds. -- John Cartmell john@ followed by finnybank.com 0845 006 8822 Qercus magazine FAX +44 (0)8700-519-527 www.finnybank.com Qercus - the best guide to RISC OS computing |

http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/miscellan...y/delivery.jsp It appears this refers to goods ordered "online" i.e Available in-store only Product is only available from your local B&Q store. Ranges may vary so please check before travelling. You can return unwanted goods to any B&Q store. Please take the Sales Invoice received with your order and let the in-store customer service staff know that you ordered the goods from www.diy.com and they will process your refund immediately. |

I'm sure the driver will hang about for an hour whilst he checks out the shed parts. :-( That's what will happen if he delivers here. Buy a (not-cheap) radiator and find it damaged - "Yes sir, our delivery people will contact you in 3-5 days to arrange to pick it up. When we receive it here then we will send out a replacement." Note that they didn't promise to collect it in 3-5 days - it would take that long to think about asking about when to collect it! The driver will wait for as long as it takes. -- John Cartmell john@ followed by finnybank.com 0845 006 8822 Qercus magazine FAX +44 (0)8700-519-527 www.finnybank.com Qercus - the best guide to RISC OS computing |

And the driver checked the delivery against the order very thoroughly. Went through each and every one to make sure it was as ordered. I was impressed. Possibly he was a factory, rather than store, delivery driver. -- *If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Yes, and unless you're next door, the cost will be around £20. I *had* to use these to get some worktops delivered. ....and again, the week later after I snapped one of the worktops. Delivery is fine, and they'll manhandle the items to where you need them. On both occasions delivery was early morning (suited me fine). Re. sheds and DIY, I'll go along with an earlier poster - head down to a timber merchant and buy a load of shiplap - I spent about £200 on scant and 16mm thick shiplap, and together with a few sheets of stirling board crafted a bloody good shed. Quite fun, too. Infinitely better than the crap feather-edge ****e that the likes of B&Q often sell |

Looking to buy a shed (not avaliable online), but cant find out from the website if stores deliver! Anyone got any experience? I have a note on the back of a Garage Doors brochure,written by a lady at the service desk at my local Warehouse - "Delivery. Free for store orders over £400, otherwise £20". However, I believe that the £20 charge might apply for delivery over "x" miles regardless of order value. I don't suppose anyone here will be interested in the "15% OFF all items IN_STORE" which runs from today until Sunday pm, so I will not mention it. Ziggur It's £20 delivery if you're inside the delivery boundary for the store, free if you spend over £400. Or £50 if outside the area and £30 if you spend over £400.

The one I use has a map with circles at various distances/costs, but the cost is prohibitive :-( I can't believe anyone would use B&Q for delivering anything. Recent experience showed It was actually cheaper to buy proper BS1088 marine ply and have it delivered from a supplier 250 miles away (securely wrapped in two free sheets of hardboard) than have WBP delivered 16 miles from B&Q (undoubtedly just chucked in the back of a van) -- |

Well the 2nd one down is the cheapeast out of the lot and I'm not going to argue about a couple of quid discount for every £25 spent. I only go to the handymans store for nails&screws. as its not worth travelling just for these. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
