That should be 1.30am.

Despairs more.

They gave themselves 14 hours?

What? 1:30 AM ?? So they could wake you in the middle if the night to deliver a sofa?

The world has gone mad.

UsedToBeNDP · 17/12/2013 22:58

Woah, woah, woah. Your time slot is 2 hours in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT???

Eh?

grumpyoldbat · 17/12/2013 22:58

130am? Omg seriously. Can't imagine neighbours being any more impressed than you are.

UsedToBeNDP · 17/12/2013 22:58

Is it an error on the paperwork, perhaps?

They turned up at lunchtime. Then discovered they did not have our sofa on the lorry. 3 year it has taken me to choose this. And now I can't have it. Except in the middle of the night.

To clarify, CSL have said they will deliver your sofa between 23:30 and 01:30? Are nighttime sofa deliveries all the rage nowadays?

FannyFifer · 17/12/2013 22:59

Wtf! That must be a mistake surely.

Seriously. All gone tits up and that was their solution. We said stick it of course.

God, I want a nighttime sofa delivery now!

(I don't really need a sofa mind)

It would be fabulous looking at the twitching nets of the neighbours!

RubyGoat · 17/12/2013 23:01

That's the maddest delivery slot I've ever heard of!

The driver said he was doing us a favour!

Good grief! I had Jehovah's Witnesses call at 10 to 9 the other morning and thought that was bad!

MidniteScribbler · 18/12/2013 02:08

So assuming you want it before christmas, and everyone else wants their stuff before christmas, and all the other delivery slots are taken, and driver has said he'll come back after his deliveries to make sure you get it in time for Christmas? Might be worth staying up late one night for. Or just wait.

DustyBaubles · 18/12/2013 02:58

If a delivery driver had shown up, then found my item was not on the van, I'd have been deeply impressed if they'd offered to come back with it later - even in the dead of night.

Probably due to my experience with other couriers and their 'nothing to do with me, kiss goodbye to your money/item' attitude.

How will you get your sofa now?

And did it really take you three years to choose it?! Shock

BohemianGirl · 18/12/2013 03:43

I'm not seeing the problem with a midnight soda delivery!

ZillionChocolate · 18/12/2013 07:13

I'd imagine before Christmas they might well be fully booked. They found a way of you having your sofa before Christmas. Yes it's annoying, but what better solution do you have?

Pooka · 18/12/2013 07:18

Not great but better than no sofa!

I'd set up camp in sitting room with good DVDs and doze. Or make dh do it.

Felyne · 18/12/2013 07:19

As a child, that was usually about the time when Santa turned up to leave my pressies so I guess it's nothing new...

I would be annoyed but impressed they are prepared to do it. Unlike one company whose response to a missing mattress was "There's nothing I can do". A midnight delivery would have been ideal given I had got rid of the old mattress.

PrimalLass · 18/12/2013 07:34

Well if you told them to stick it you have rejected the delivery slot they tried to give you, so you probably can't expect it now before Christmas. He was trying to be helpful.

WaitMonkey · 18/12/2013 07:36

So what time did it arrive ?

WinterWinds · 18/12/2013 07:38

Not ideal but I assume everyone wants their sofa for Christmas so to ensure that you "would get yours" offered the obscure delivery time.
The driver was doing you a favour as I cant imagine he makes a habit of delivering sofa's throughout the night.
I'd actually have accepted the delivery slot.

Is there any chance that you will get your sofa in time for Christmas now?
