Whos actually got what they ordered from B and Q?

[charliecat]

following on from the bargain thread......

LOL I have had quite a few friends suggest lunch at mine since having it...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not that high & both sets of neighbours have no children & very immaculate gardens!!!
We have not been in our house very long at all & may fall out with the neighbours b4 getting to know them!!!

Bet the kids love it though don't they?!

yep

Think I have already upset one set of neighbours as ds's parachute man kind of drifted into their immaculate garden & they came straight out 2 investigate & we haven't had it back!
If they think thats bad just wait for big Ben!!!

LMAO.................
Our shuttlecock went over and we got it back. Must have looked very out of place, they must get the spirirt levels out for the grass round here.

Sad thing is that ds wasn't even responsible 4 the parachute man!
Lets just say a few glasses of wine were involved & it was after his bedtime.
Poor little mite is desperate for it back!

Naughty parents

Think they may be signing a petition to get us out after Ben goes up!!!
Still it could be worse, it could be built on the front lawn!!!

Park Street lol

Ok folks, who got 20 quids worth of vouchers then? I didnt. But on the money saving expert they are syaing that all folks that were disapointed have been issued vouchers.

Ben arrived this morning He's sitting in my garage awaiting construction.

Took a painful 6 months to get my kitchen installed, during which time: the tiler failed to show because he was "coughing up blood" having used a plastic bag as a dust mask; the fitters let themselves in without knocking, then blamed each other; they sent a cutlery tray that didn't fit the drawer; they "ran out of tiles" and sent me out to buy more, only to find the rest of the tiles while I was out, but not have the balls to call and tell me. NEVER AGAIN.

Got my vouchers, but not my refund yet!

I got 20 quid in vouchers this morning really chuffed.

• Ordered a Mont Blanc when the thread was first posted on moneysavingexpert.com
• Received card confirming delivery date
• Then received phone call to say there had been a cock up with Mont Blanc stocking levels and I could have a Matterhorn at no extra charge
• Received card for delivery date of Matterhorn in two days' time
• Following day received phone call from B&Q to say cock up with order and would definitely not be getting anything and would get £20 vouchers.
• Following day, vouchers turned and whilst we were out in the afternoon, the courier company tried to deliver the Matterhorn but took it back to Wolverhampton!
• DS rang courier and they said they would re-deliver in a week which they did.
• I received a phone call today from B&Q to offer me another Matterhorn because they were unable to supply the first (??)

To cut a long and boring story short, I received the Matterhorn (at Mont Blanc price) and £20 vouchers so it cost me £151. I have been following the MSE thread very closey so I know I am very lucky.

For anyone else who has a Matterhorn, how long did it take to put up please?

WoW, have you posted al of that on the MSE forum...that means theres a spare matterhorn for someone!

charliecat, I did start to follow the MSE thread but it is so long now!

The chap on the phone yesterday said that he was ringing me because I was on a long list of people who would be offered another playcentre because the original order wasn't fulfilled.

He obviously didn't realise that I'd already had one - they are so incompetent!

I just got £20 in B&Q vouchers too & I didn't have any problems with my order!
Did you see that there was an artical in the mirror about how they had messed up?

No I didnt, is it online?

I brought some softer swing seats at b and q with my vouchers, my skinnys girls bums arent too keen on the hard wooden seats.

Are they really hard?
Still haven't got round to putting ours up, as it was delivered to my parents house, as we were moving & we need to get some kind of van to get it round here!
Sorry, was what on line?

the article from the mirror, I think if my kids were chunkier they would be fine, but my dds are like skeletons so they dont swing for long.

Oh bless them!
Don't know if it is on line or not. I saw it in the paper a few weeks back.
H said he wishes he was one of the people who didn't get one, as he is not going to have any garden left when it's up!
Old misery!
