My sister is up for the weekend. She saw the 10-DVD boxed set history of the Tour de France that she bought me for Christmas lying unopened next to my TV and asked if I didn't like it. I replied that I DO want to watch it but had discovered that my DVD player is broken so I haven't had the chance yet.

She needed to do some shopping so we decided to drive over to Halifax and I would buy a Blu-ray player for myself while we were there. Then we reconsidered ... we would be encountering Friday evening traffic on the busy, narrow valley road. It is about a 25 mile round trip from here. No fun!

We decided to shop online instead, expecting that we would be able to get what we wanted delivered tomorrow, maybe for a premium delivery charge. To our surprise, Argos had everything that we wanted in stock, at a reasonable price, and would do same day delivery if we ordered before 6 pm.

We completed our order at 5:50 pm and the delivery charge was only £3.95. A friendly driver delivered the order at 7:10 pm. Maybe we are easily impressed, but ... ARGOS, WE ARE IMPRESSED! :okay:

Can beat that; I have an Amazon online shop.

Someone ordered a book from a mile away; I got the order at 3.15pm and by 3.25pm it was delivered by hand :tongue:
 
I've got a friend who was trying to buy a sewing machine in Argos, she'd been given a £10 off voucher as a goodwill thing for a previous problem with them.
She was told voucher was only valid for home delivery, an extra £3.95.
She is standing in the shop. The shop has the machine in stock. She lives in a very rural part of Lincolnshire, it will cost Argos more than £3.95 to deliver it. Rules is rules though. Still, she saved £6.05 didn't need to carry it back to her car and the driver had a nice drive through the country.
