Help cant find Wooden Multi Storey CARPARK/ GARAGE

[champs]

I had a mail order cat that it was in now i cant find it it was £25 and had lots of storeys(floors) not the two storey type, anyone know where I can find it?

It's £40 here plus £6 delivery...doesn't say if they can do it for Christmas though.

I went with that one, Grinch. It claimed the delivery was by 48hour courier so I'm assuming it will be here in time. Obviously I ordered a couple of other things to try and justify the £6 delivery (which didn't actually seem bad for 48 hour delivery)

Fingers crossed that it arrives OK! Thanks.

You're welcome, soupie!

I always do that too - same thing in shops with long queues, if I find one thing I want I have to get at least 3 more to justify the queueing time. Hope it turns up in time anyway!

(This is janh btw - will be her again after Christmas.)

I wondered who you were I'm not so well disguised - too green and knobbly to look like anyone else

That company have now emailed me to say they can't deliver it for Christmas. So why claim 48 hour delivery?? It's now too late to get anything from somewhere else. Bstards!!

hey tinsel, I found a car park, it was plastic, 11 levels!!!! here are some links that had some garages that I saw when i was looking for mine.

PS. you,d think I was some sort of toy shop boff

woops, they are all jumbled up!!! hope you can understand them.
PS hi grinch,

soupie, champs's first site (woodandtoys) has the same garage for the same price - did you cancel the first one?

Hi, champs! (I'm back to me now...)

And you have until Sunday to order it!!!!

hee hee hi jan!!!! have u got all ur Christmas prezzies?

Thank you, Champs! I wasn't looking for a garage but I desperately needed to know who was still offering deliveries for Christmas.I'd spent ages this afternoon hunting for a set of action figures without any luck. Now I've got them (hopefully) and I'll sleep better tonight.

NP Allegra, I have been in a tiz myself everything is like 75% more effort wiv kids, then an extra 10% wiv each next one lol. Oh I remember my child free days runnin around, leavin the house without the precision of a troop leader.... oh well I would not be w/o my two, they bring so much joy to my life.
I have a few more bits to buy which I am doing tomorrow, then I'll make some h/made truffles and biccies and cards..... Christmas is lovely... fa la la la la la la la la.....

The big garage was out of stock at woodandtoys so I've gone with the smaller one. Still, it saves me braving the crowds in Croydon at the weekend searching for an alternative.

yey!!! Hit toys r us today..... so many kids!!! but really it wasn't to bad at all, didn't even have to q up!! We made sure we went early. ds1 chose present, ha dont know bout garage thats coming

Hi all, Ds1 was very happy with his garage, it was a very happy surprise for him !! Only prob is that the ramps keep coming off!!
soupie-- Did ur garage come?
allega-- Did ur actionman toys come?

Maybe if someone is looking next year... Argos do them, too. Bottom right of page, but I don't know the number. Looked quite good.

The garage arrived on Christmas Eve DS2 was delighted, although has clearly been mislead by the pictures on the box as he believes he's been given a "whole city!". Gulp. Luckiy he's not asked where the roadway or other accessories are yet

Ragged Rascal were good too - I managed to get the toy I wanted for my new nephew and that arrived in under 2 days. AND they gave me 10% off for mentioning Mumsnet.

Hey, how thrifty to mention mumsnet!! why didn't I think of that? will try it next time I purchase something.
Glad pressies came.
DS1 birthday is comin up in feb..... it just keeps going

I was really surprised to get a 10% discount too for mentioning mumsnet (Ragged Rascal) Just as well, for I was so excited at finding somewhere that would still deliver for Christmas that I ordered some extra presents for the boys.
Unfortunately I got an email saying the scary figures I needed for DS1's castle were out of stock but the other stuff came very promptly.

I must say, I only mentioned Mumsnet in the "where did you hear about us" part of the form to give them a bit of publicity but the 10% off was a nice surprise

yes, nice to know that suppliers/ shops know and respect mumsnet

Just resurrecting this thread. Those of you with the plan city garage, how easy is it to work the lift? ELC have one with wind up lift (on a string), but the Plan City one is cheaper - can a 2-yr old work the lift?

haven't got the plan city one but thought i'd add that the string lift didn't last till new year with us!!!!

DS1 is nearly 3 but he doesn't seem to have any trouble with the Plan Tos one (we got the smaller garage, £30 or so?). It works by turning a dial, is very smooth and looks simple to fix the string if it broke. Much better than the plastic garage DS1 used to have where the lift was wobbly and stiff to use.

HTH

thanks! Plan City garage is currently on (small) special, and DS seems to really like them,esp wind-up mechanism.
