So, will my sofas be delivered?!

Because I assumed not. Which is fine, we waited 10 weeks, we're happy to wait as longer.

But I got an email this morning from Next to say their shops have closed but their online store and deliveries haven't??

I obviously will call them at 9, but I wasn't even going to bother doing that because I assumed their offices had closed?

I think I don't understand the whole thing.

Sorry to make it clear, I didn't get the sofa from next.

It just happened to email me.

I assumed all deliveries for non-essential items would stop

Delivery services are considered essential, so I think it's entirely possible that it will turn up. Amazon is still delivery non-essentials (for now).

DFS are still delivering if you're happy to have it delivered.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 24/03/2020 07:39

Oh wow! I didn't realise this.

We had the same concern. Our fridge freezer broke last week and I bought another one online, offered a delivery day of Monday or Tuesday. I am wfh today so chose Tuesday and was kicking myself last night as I thought we'd missed out.

Woke up this morning to an email confirming it will be delivered this afternoon.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 24/03/2020 07:39

It's Harvey's so I'm guessing they will too if DFS is.

Yes, he has not shut factories, offices or deliveries down.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 24/03/2020 07:40

See I can understand how a fridge freezer would be absolutely essential.

But a sofa is a luxury really? Unless you don't have one I suppose.

Mine is meant to be delivered today as well. We will just see if it turns up.

Rubyroses3 · 24/03/2020 07:44

This has given me some hope. My cooker which had been giving me problems over the last few weeks stopped working completely a few days ago. Argos are supposed to be delivering a new one on Thursday, and I really hope it comes.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 24/03/2020 07:46

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering if their stuff will arrive.

I thought I'd be torn a new bum hole for asking a first world problem 😁

I expect someone will be along shortly to do just this.

Yabu to expect a new sofa and a new bum hole Grin

slipperywhensparticus · 24/03/2020 07:54

Just make sure to clear the way and stay out of there way while they are dropping it off

combatbarbie · 24/03/2020 07:58

They are trying to keep part of the economy running hence online deliveries.

Usually the delivery company will be just that. A delivery company!

They will have no idea what's in those boxed up parcels most of the time.

Amazing 😂😂😂

dovedoves · 24/03/2020 08:19

The Covid statement on their website tells you what they are doing about deliveries and they should call you before they come

I think they might realise it's a sofa or fridge freezer though Grin

WhatICallMyUsername · 24/03/2020 08:22

Bold fail again Blush

HappydaysArehere · 24/03/2020 08:26

Are they still delivering new bum holes? If so I definitely want one. I will look on Amazon in hope. Thanks for the laugh which we need as much as deliveries.

Usernameismyname01 · 24/03/2020 08:32

Whaticallmyusername yeah I get that but it's not up to them to determine what gets delivered and what doesn't when they look at loading that vehicle

elshajd · 24/03/2020 08:51

The question is....can you get a bumhole to match your new sofa?

Aragog · 24/03/2020 08:51

Deliveries are still happening.
They've happened in many countries during their mock downs too.

Obviously with a big item you are going to have to work out how to take delivery safely though.

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 24/03/2020 16:49

Just has a text.

Harvey's aren't delivering the sofas.
