So, went in on Friday to order item 'A' (top box) and item 'B' (roll cab).

''We have item A, webby but don't have item B. I'll order it now, it'll be in tomorrow and i'll call you when it's here''

Tuesday arrives with no call... 

Ring them myself....

''its not showing as in but ill call you right back to tell you if its here''. get a call 5 hours later (at least she did call back  ) ''yes mr webb, its all here, come and collect''

get down there. really nice bloke to be fair. but get everything home, unpackage and item 'A' is damaged (bloody great dent in the side) and item 'B' is item 'X'.....another top box.

Oh lord, do look down upon me when I go down there tonight to sort

Whilst I completely feel your pain.... I did piss myself at that 

But being serious it is just unbelievable!!!

Was in Hellfrauds tonight for hour and 'arf.......... correct roll cab and top box /chest is in my possession!!!!! feel sorry for the guy who helped me cos clearly some idiots labelled everything wrong. and in crayon

Well done, sounds like you got a few bargains. You make your own luck and IMO you deserve it as you have taken risks, worked very hard on changing your career into the motor trade, been very enthusiastic on learning how to do your job very well and now it is working out well for you. I take my hat off and salute you and hope that all deservedly goes very well in the future.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I feel your pain, and although the whole affair of getting something and finding it damaged is really annoying, I do confess I sometimes secretly hope things are 'not as advertised' as you can get a massive discount - like a snapper missing from a set, so it's half price, you then walk across the room, buy that missing spanner, and you're still up about 1/3rd of the original price - that kind of thing.

Bought a beautiful lava lamp a few years back, it arrived, wrong name on it, wrong colour lava. They sent a fresh bottle, in the right colour, no charge, and said 'of course you may keep the other bottle as an apology'  needless to say I was chuffed. Especially as I was going to buy the alternative-coloured bottle anyway when my bankbalance allowed it 

Do it loads with good shoes/boots on heeebay - worn once, or small scuff from being stored, that sort of thing, get them at ridiculous cheap prices sometimes.

If they didn't have one I was going to suggest having it for a tenner lol (they cant do anything with it afterall). but in truth id rather be the one to damage it 

used it at work today. bloody love it! so nice having your toolseverywhere you go.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Will they sell it to me for a tenner? 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Which did you go for, the smaller red one or the daddy black one.

get down there. really nice bloke to be fair. but get everything home, unpackage and item 'A' is damaged (bloody great dent in the side) and item 'B' is item 'X'.....another top box.

Oh lord, do look down upon me when I go down there tonight to sort 

You got off light there....That smacks of revenge by Lizzie Zoom

Which did you go for, the smaller red one or the daddy black one.

The red one has the advatange that you can pop the pins out of the hinges on a 200pc socket set, and it fits.  It won't fit in black ones as the drawers aren't as wide
