chelsea Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Ordered from Hawkin's Bazaar last night between 7-8pm. Knock at the door this morning 7.45am this morning with my parcel couldnt believe it! I cant recall paying for overnight postage (it was £4 I think) and it came all the way from Suffolk to Devon, quite astonishing Can you beat that?

Lesley Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 No! - excellent service! I did do an order on Amazon yesterday though - and 10 minutes later remembered that i'd forgotten something. I went back and ordered and tried to combine the orders - I couldn't because the first one was already being picked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 wonder if its because not many people are spending this year and they are quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 ....probably quiet.... but expecting to be busy.... so plenty of staff? and stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 I love their little stocking fillers. My sister has said not to bother with little bits and pieces for her children but I just cant help myself! Lots of lovely retro stuff too.

Ordered electric shock game for my older nephew and lots of little jokey bits....indoor sparklers, rocket balloons, fake dog poo, whoopee cushion for my little nephew as then he can make noise and mess (which my sister hates!) mmm,.. the Apple present sounds interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Rocket balloons are so much fun If you let children blow them up though they do get full of spit after a while which get sprayed everywhere when you release them OH bought the duck fried egg thingy for YD last week for her birthday, we have only used it once and the pan was a bit too hot so it was a bit burnt, will try again this weekend. He loves Hawkins, I have bought for him for Christmas a make your own Morph plasticine(sp) set with a DVD of Morphs best bits which he saw in there and went mad for We ordered some Blinds on ebay yesterday morning and I had a call from the courier this morning asking which end of out long lane we live at, so they will be here soon hopefully So maybe the couriers are quiet and well staffed too because estimated delivery was 25th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 looks like everyone's on the ball at the moment then! Hope I get the same treatment from the Chelsea Megastore, had appalling service from them last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
