QUICK please!!!! Where can I buy a model helicoptor that flies outside by end of business today (am near Colchester and Chelmsford in Essex)

[eenybeeny]

An ebay seller has let me down. I ordered this for DH's bday TOMORROW and it hasnt arrives and for 3 days I have been trying to reach the people who sold it to me and I am not getting any response from them. I am opening a dispute but in the MEANTIME I havent got a present for DH for tomorrow morning!!! I can take the bus to Colchester or Chelmsford but its too late to get anything off the net. Any ideas????????

Amazon have lots of helicopters and claim to do next day delivery.

Argos do them.

Southend has a new model shop, is that too far away?

I got one for my brother at Maplin - is there one near you?

bless you all!! thank you for helping! I know this sounds pathetic but I have only lived in this country 7 years and I still dont know what all the shops are. I have never heard of maplin what do they sell? Am checking out argos on line now. The problem is I need to pay cash or paypal my credit card is pretty near maxed out.

Southend is quite far away (I used to live there) but if I cant find anything else I will do my best to make it work. I really really want this for him and DS to have their special day together.

You could phone Williams and Griffins - they have really helpful staff in the toy department.

Would save you a wasted trip.

Good luck xx

willie g's are out of stock. thanks for the suggestion though!

Theres a Maplin in Chelmsford (near the riverside centre IRRC)

MAP HERE

I'd ring them and check if they have the helicopter in stock before making the trip though

Thank you so much! I found one at a Maplin in Colchester and as soon as my DH gets home with the car I am going to pick it up!! I phoned them and they have one set aside for me!
